I met Dina and Carl a few months ago when they came to visit and finalise the arrangements for their Goa beach wedding at the Taj Exotica resort in south Goa. I love these weddings in Goa, and the ‘susegad‘ state of mind that is so associated with this state; a relaxed, laid-back attitude towards life […]

Suyash & Rachita
My first wedding in Delhi after almost four years was quite a riot. Delhi weddings are usually in the winter, and the city is just too cold for me in January. Call me spoiled, but Delhi winter is too brutal for me so I practically avoided weddings in Delhi for a while. After so many years, it was really […]
Sylvie & Aaron
Kumarakom Lake Resort, in the backwater of Kerala, is definitely one of the most gorgeous venues for a destination wedding in Kerala. I have already covered a few weddings in this incredible location, and these have always been super fun, beautiful, and incredibly unique. The lake and the houseboats, the fishermen and the cormorant birds who share the […]
Indian Wedding photography entirely on iPhone
Yes, I shot this entire indian wedding on the iphone, and it was crazy For quite some time, my aspiration has been to undertake Indian wedding photography exclusively with an iPhone. This ambition has encountered obstacles, not solely due to the technological constraints of previous iPhone models—a topic worthy of separate discussion, given that some […]
Raahil & Pia (Part 2)
Last post was all about the first part of Raahil & Pia’s stunning destination wedding in Goa; the Champaign lunch at the forest, the Teeka and engagement on the beach, and the after party. It is now the time for part two, and the finale of the wedding day which started with the ‘Aloha’ Haldi lunch at the ‘Dunes’, the […]
Raahil & Pia (Part 1)

Time for the first destination wedding of the season, and this one is one of those weddings that one posts is not enough to cover. Planning a destination wedding in Goa could go both ways. You might opt […]
Drina & Mat
A destination wedding in the maldives I’m not really sure if any of you had ever thought of getting married in the Maldives, but the place does make for the perfect destination for a beach wedding. Scattered like gems across the turquoise Indian Ocean, the Maldives’ tiny coral atolls are some of the world’s most romantic […]
Sarah & Vivek
goa wedding photographer Being based in Goa it is a bit surprising that I actually do not get to cover a destination wedding in Goa all that often. However, the ones I do get to attend usually turn out to be quite fantastic. So was the case with Vivek and Sarah’s wedding at the Park Hyatt. It was actually […]
8 MISTAKES COUPLES MAKE When they Hire A Wedding Photographer
Producing a wedding is an expensive thing. Having a budget is a very important aspect for this kind of production, but how do you build your budget? You will spend money on the venue, the decor, the dress, the catering, lights and DJ but non of this will stay. A day after the wedding all […]
Amira & Robin
Amira and Robin’s wedding in Mumbai was celebrated at Taj Lands End in Bandra and was one of the happiest weddings I can remember. Not that weddings are not usually a happy event, but some are just more emotional than others. Maybe because it is so close to home, and maybe because these tow families are […]
Richard & Tuiya
Richard and Tuiya’s destination wedding in Kenya is a wedding I will remember forever, for many reasons. For once, after covering so many destination weddings as a photographer, this was the very first wedding I have ever traveled to another country to attend, as a guest. I knew Richard and Tuiya separately before they got married. They […]
Wedding Photography Tips | 10 Mistakes Wedding Photographers Make
About a year ago I wrote a post titled 10 tips for an Indian wedding photographer which I though was a good introduction to the field of wedding photography in India. A week later I added a second post with a few more tips on how to be a better wedding photographer and stand out in the crowd. […]
Nawas & Fathima
Muslim weddings are not easy to photograph. I can tell you that for sure. I mean, if you are a muslim than this might sounds strange, after all a wedding is a wedding. However, if you are used to all the music, alcohol, and party atmosphere usually associated with Indian weddings than you are up […]
Rahul & Reema
The 16th century Samode palace lies a little more than an hour drive from the pink city of Jaipur, in the midst of ancient granite rock formation and away from the world we know. Memories belonging to a very distant past are hidden in its maze of bougainvillea covered courtyards and quaint narrow staircases. Lounges adorned […]
Sidarth & Laura
traditional temple wedding in mahabalipuram The very first wedding I ever photographed in India was a TamBrahm, or in its full name; a Tamil Brahmin wedding. This was back at the end of 2007 when I started working on my book on Indian weddings. I had no idea what I was going to see. I […]
Clayton & Ann
If you are planing a church wedding in Goa there are quite a few places to hold the ceremony. There is a small chapel at the top of a hill which remains locked most of the time. Nevertheless, it is worth coming up here for a spectacular view of the Salcette countryside in general and the town of […]
Allie & Floris
Udaipur is quite possibly the most romantic city in India. I come to the ‘Venice of Rajasthan’ a few times a year and it always manages to surprise me and look different than it did before. Different but always stunning. There is something about this city on the lake that is just so perfect as a destination […]
Dawoodi Bhora Muslim Mass Wedding in Mumbai
When I started working on my book on Indian weddings I had a very thin knowledge, if at all, about Indian wedding traditions. There was a notion of an idea but I could not have even imagined where this journey would take me. One of the most surprising things that I learned about Indian weddings […]
Tashi & Angmo
Of all the Indian wedding traditions I have covered in the last few years, the Buddhist wedding in Ladakh was definitely one of the most interesting ones, and is featured in my book ‘Behind The Indian Veil – A Journey Through Weddings in India’. Ladakh weddings are not the regular Indian weddings the way many of us […]
Nandini & Michael
I have already covered a Kerala backwater wedding before. It is definitely one of my favourite locations for a destination wedding so I was not so sad (!) when Nandini and Michael got in touch with me earlier last year to cover their upcoming wedding at Kumarakom Lake Resort. I love the food in Kerala, the palm trees […]
Sapna & Rishi
A wedding at the Leela palace Udaipur is always guaranteed to be a stunning experience. If there is one city in India that is truely romantic it is Udaipur and no matter how many weddings I attend in this city on the lakes, I always manage to see it differently and be amazed again. It […]
