The portfolio of the outstanding images from the myriad of exclusive and magnificent weddings is presented here. I have had an honor to be chosen to photograph weddings in New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia, New York and Connecticut. I was invited to be a wedding photographer at the destinations weddings in Italy and Mexico.
I am in the business of creating love stories: between couples, between new parents and an infant, or among a family of five for their holiday card. It sounds simple enough to say: I love photographing weddings. Weddings are brimming with vibrant colors, electric moments and are as grand as they are important. I enjoy capturing each organic and authentic moment of connection on one of the most important days of a couple's life as it unfolds.
My whole approach to weddings is rooted in appreciation and understanding, both of the unique nature of a wedding itself, but also the couple at the center of it all. And, when it comes to my couples, I value and support their love in all its forms, and thrive on being able to capture stories about their commitment with passion.
I photographed wedding ceremonies at Jewish weddings, South Asian weddings, Indian weddings, Punjabi and Sikh weddings, Hindu weddings, Parsi weddings, Islamic weddings, Bengali weddings, Christian weddings, Chinese weddings, Korean weddings, Ukrainian and Russian weddings. I love long weddings, religious weddings, ceremonies that are short and sweet, or traditional ones that can take several hours.
I worked as a wedding photographer at top luxuriuos venues in Philadelphia and New York City, vineyards in Pennsylvania and beach vacation rentals along Jersey shore, Museums of Philadelphia and catering halls in South Jersey, private backyards and premium hotels in the city center. I created wedding portraits at the noon with the direct sunlight at the beach and at the midnight darkness in the middle of nowhere. I shot destination elopments just for two people in love and 4 days Indian weddings with more than 1000 guests. I challenge myself to produce exclusive and fascinating wedding portrature even at locations I have shot 30 times before. I go scout locations if I work at the place I have never been before. My talent is to see beauty in everyday things, my knowledge of photography and art, my technical skills and apprehension of light, my mastery in pleasing the most demanding couples help me to be the perfect photographer for your wedding.
