I document Indian weddings all around the globe. Why couples place their trust in me is because I can find beauty in chaos. I shoot in a documentary style most of the time but at the same time, I also come up with creative ideas for portraits for my couples. My style is to create something new, something different in the same setting. I am a very passionate photographer and once a client has hired me, they know for sure that their memories are going to be captured in the most unique manner possible.

Ankita Asthana grew up in Tamil Nadu, trained as an architect at NIT Nagpur and went on to NID Ahmedabad before photography became her truest language. In 2013 she co-founded WeddingNama in Mumbai with her husband Akash Agarwal, building a documentary studio that takes on only a handful of weddings a year. Her architect's eye shapes how she reads light and space, but she shoots on instinct, staying quiet and invisible until the unguarded moment arrives. A Nikon Brand Ambassador and TEDx speaker, she also mentors young photographers through WeddingNama School.
