The storyHow I got here.
I picked up a camera years ago to make better videos and quietly fell for stills instead. The single frame turned out to be where I wanted to spend my time.
Today I'm based in Miami, working primarily on weddings, events, and editorial portraits, with a specialty in South Asian weddings. The work tends to live in the space between commercial polish and personal warmth, clean enough to use, human enough to remember.
My clients are usually building something, a brand, a business, a marriage, a moment, and need imagery that respects what they've built. I try to show up calm, prepared, and quietly opinionated about the frame. Then I get out of the way.
I've shot weddings across South Florida, including multi-day South Asian celebrations, alongside editorial portraits and brand campaigns. Different rooms, same standard.

Weddings & eventsApproachA good wedding photo is the moment, not the staging. My job is to make the room feel calm enough that the day unfolds the way it should, then make sure the camera catches it.

We talk through the day, venue, timeline, families, the moments that matter most. No filler calls.

Plan the shoot
I scout the venue, build a shotlist with you, share a pre-wedding doc so we walk in aligned with you and the planner.

Calm, paced, present. We get the frames you came for early, then chase the surprises.
