EXPERIENCE




Our focus is on photographing not just how it looked, but how it felt. We know how to pose you, but prefer to guide you. This way the true you can come out.

This way the true you can come out

Because moments happen in the split second, our shooting is very spontaneous, just like you and your wedding. So it helps when everyone including vendors are on board. You are unique in your own right, and we want you to be you….not the other wedding on Pinterest. We try to make unique piece with art in mind. Our goal is to create not just wedding photos, but art that ranges from documenting candids to guided portraits to the abstract that conveys a feeling. We are not looking to make a catalog of your wedding, we’re aiming to tell a story

​​We believe true genuine moments cannot be scripted. We give space, but can step in when need be. We will give direction to your family and friends and even you two at times, but instead or trying to manipulate every single moment for a perfect photo, we try to create an environment that is enjoyable, where people can feel like they can let their guard down and laugh and smile genuinely, or cry and let the tears roll.


Leave as family
 & friends

If at the end of the day your family and friends see us as members of the family, rather than a hired vendor, then we know we’ve done our job. Because it is only then that people can allow us and feel safe enough to give us the privilege to see them as they truly are.

WHERE IS HARSHA BASED?

We approach weddings with open hands. No shot list or preconceived notion of how it will look. The only expectations we have from my clients is that they truly love each other and understand why we are doing a wedding in the first place. The goal is not to turn your wedding into a photoshoot, but to treat it as a time where the team will come into it as a guest, and integrate ourselves into the fold so that we can see the true connections...but with a camera.

DO YOU SHOOT FILM OR DIGITAL?

We are based out of Mumbai and Bangalore and more than happy to jump on a plane in order to document your story anywhere in the world.

WHAT ARE YOUR TRAVEL COSTS?

Prior to booking, we'd love to set up a call to learn more about YOU, what you have planned and to answer any questions you might have. Once you have chosen a photography collection and are ready to proceed, we will prepare your contract with package detail to save the date for a retainer of 30%. As soon as we receive your signed contract and the retainer, the date is reserved in our calendar, and our services are booked! The final balance is due 4 weeks prior to the wedding date.

We've learned over the years that every celebration is different and comes with its own set of unique needs. Because of this, we quote every wedding on an individual basis. Contact us and we can send you a more specific outline of your investment once we know more about your needs.

HOW MANY CLIENTS DO YOU TAKE?

Travel is not included in the pricing. As each wedding is unique, we love to learn about your destination and celebration before we discuss travel plans. We then customize a quote based on the location and number of shooting days. Travel and accommodation will be handled by you unless otherwise specified.

WHO WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY?

You’ve got enough on your plate—our thorough and detail oriented approach ensures you’ll have more photos than you could ever need or want, but we do recommend bringing to our attention any special people, planned moments, or unique details you’d like to capture that we might not know to anticipate. 

WHO WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY?

We work with all sorts of videographers. The most important thing is to make sure that you understand our approach to the wedding, and that the videographer you choose shoots in a similar fashion and has the same goal: To be as unobtrusive as possible and to let the day flow. We are happy to recommend videographers we have worked with in the past.

WHO WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY?

The final images we send are a curated selection based on content and composition. We include only the highest quality images from each setup angle. Omitted images may include blinking, unflattering expressions, or blur. All final images receive color corrections and exposure adjustments before we present them in the online gallery.

WHO WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY?

Photos are delivered via an online gallery for you to share with family and friends around the world.
High resolution images will be downloaded via the gallery and be available to download anywhere anytime in one year. I advise my clients to download and backup the images to their own personal hard drive and/or cloud

WHO WILL BE THERE ON THE DAY?

The size of the team is decided depending on the details and size of the wedding. Generally with weddings upto 100 guests I would recommend 2 photographers. But I will be able to give you my recommendation given your exact plans for your wedding and order of events.

Should I make a "shot list" of my desired photos?

Do you work with a team/assistants?
The size of the team is decided depending on the details and size of the wedding. Generally with weddings over 100 guests I would recommend a second photographer, for less than, I feel confident photographing on my own. But I will be able to give you my recommendation given your exact plans for your wedding and order of events.

Having Harsha photograph our wedding felt like having a dear friend who was dedicated to capturing the most precious moments of our life. Each photograph was taken thoughtfully, to express the essence of that moment and from a point of view, the pov of an insider who went on the emotional rollercoaster with us.

From the first day we met Harsha till today we felt such an ease getting to know her and letting her in on our most intimate celebration- our wedding. Aditi & I found a friend in Harsha and this relationship is seen in how she was able to capture the nuances of our special day. Being there with us through the pre and post celebrations. We didn’t have to once look around and say call the photographer. She was always there knowing the moments we would come to frame in our home as a reminder of our love.
Tip- take your time and share your vision as every couple has a different story. Harsha will be able to capture it as much as you let her in on the inside.

I had the best time working with Harsha and her team for our wedding. Both my husband and I are terribly camera shy, but Harsha and her crew made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Everything felt natural and effortless - they had such a warm, personable approach that put us instantly at ease in front of the camera. The end result was truly breathtaking. You can feel the love in every photo. The guests personalities and the essence of our wedding shines through in every "Kodak moment" they captured. It's like they had a sixth sense for knowing just when to click the shutter to immortalise the most magical, intimate, and authentic memories.
