Family events are mostly time-bound events. This makes them very interesting because you need to up your game right from the word go and be very effective in turning out meaningful images within the time constraint. I aim to keep the narrative simple and the approach, a combination of "natural shots" and "posed".
I recently photographed a beautiful housewarming ceremony in Bangalore, capturing every detail with candid photography. The event included traditional blessings with a cow and calf, and was led by a skilled woman priest who guided the couple through meaningful rituals. Using my holistic approach, I focus on creating lasting memories by capturing real emotions and moments.

Recently, I had the privilege of capturing a vibrant half-saree event at ITC Windsor, Bangalore. As a family event photographer in Bangalore, I documented the joy and cultural richness of this milestone occasion through thoughtful and creative photography. The elegant venue provided a stunning backdrop, allowing me to create beautiful portraits that truly reflect the essence of the day. Being a professional photographer in Bangalore, it was a true honor to preserve these cherished memories through my lens.
A had her Annaprashan or Mukhe Bhaat (literal meaning – rice in your mouth, also known as the Bengali rice ceremony) sometime back and I had got the chance to photograph the event.
It was held in Oh! Calcutta (Greater Kailash).
Draping a gorgeous Maharashtrian emerald green saree with jewelry to match, Neha was a vision on the day of her baby shower event. The baby shower event itself was a culmination of north Indian, Bengali and Tamil traditional ceremonies followed by a fun-filled game session.
I got the wonderful opportunity to document the very traditional and beautiful Shasthiabdhapoorthi (60th birthday celebrations) of our family doctor a few months back.
Shashtiabdhapoorthi is a Sanskrit name for a special ceremony on a person's sixtieth birthday. Shashtiabdhapoorti is celebrated on completion of 60 years of age of a person. This term is derived from Sanskrit in which Shashti means sixty; Abda–year; Poorthi-completion.
Spanning 2 days, the event was held at Sri Sarada Vidya Kendra in Delhi. Their children and other relatives flew in from across the world to celebrate this big milestone function.
I got the opportunity to cover his birth announcement party as well.
And this idea of introducing the new family member to the rest of the world, after a certain time has passed, appeals to me a lot. These few months allow the mother and the baby to bond well, allows the baby to start acclimatizing with the world and so on.
Music has been a part of my growing up years and this family event coverage combined my love for photography and the inclination towards music!
Cut to 2018, I got the opportunity to cover a sufi-night event helmed by the famous Gujarati artist Mr. Osman Mir ji. This was held at The Oberoi hotel in Delhi as a general celebration of art & life, organized by the Anand family.
"... recently got a chance to capture a beautiful family's moments, as they went about catching up over a few rounds of tea (woo hoo!!), their kids lost in their own world of Jenga, playdoh and fantasy books. .."
"...It was so pleasant capturing Anu and Sam's moments as they went about shop-hopping in Dilli Haat..."
It was a surprise anniversary party planned by Gurpreet & Roopa for their parents. The surprise and shock on aunty’s face was so evident. For a moment, I felt like just keeping my camera down and savouring the moment. And I couldn’t, for the fear of missing this beautiful moment for the family. Cons of being a photographer, eh?
