Parima and Saurabh’s Wedding at the Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto
English garden dreams turned into reality for Parima and Saurabh at the stunning Gamble Garden. Gamble Garden is an absolute hidden gem right in the heart of Palo Alto.
When Parima first shared her vision, the idea of an intimate, blooming celebration instantly set the tone for an incredible day. She truly looked like a pari in her powder bluefloral saree, effortlessly complemented by Saurabh’s sharp, modern pastel sherwani. Their vows took place in front of a classic garden fountain surrounded by soaring towers of delicate pastel florals. Following the ceremony, the celebration seamlessly transitioned into interactive garden games to get guests mingling, followed by heartfelt performances from family and friends, and an electric flashmob dance party that completely stole the night.
Palak and Ashish’s wedding at Rengstorff House and Club AutoSport in San Jose
From the very first phone call, when I could sense Palak’s contagious excitement, I knew this was going to be a truly special journey. Meeting Ashish during a virtual consultation shortly after only deepened my gratitude for this profession, which is as much about building lifelong connections as it is about taking photos. When the wedding day arrived, it started with a bit of a drizzle at Shoreline Park near the Rengstorff House, but Ashish quickly dissolved any wedding-day panic, turning nervous energy into pure laughter with his quick wit. That effortless connection made sense, given their history dating back to their college days at NYU; their vibrant, natural chemistry made them an absolute joy to capture through the lens, with every glance and shared joke making my job incredibly easy. After a beautiful ceremony, the celebration moved to Club AutoSport in San Jose, culminating in an amazing, high-energy dance party where the pure joy of the newlyweds surrounded by their favorite people was unforgettable to witness.

Ramya and Shobhit’s Telgu wedding at the SuiSun Valley Inn in Fairfield
A tale of two states, Ramya from Andhra and Shobhit from Delhi celebrated their love with a vibrant, rich South Indian wedding at the beautiful Suisun Valley Inn in Fairfield, surrounded by stunning mountains and lush vineyards that offered endless photographic opportunities. Though the day started with a gentle drizzle, the show had to go on; guests popped open transparent umbrellas to enjoy a delicious, hot South Indian breakfast from Saapadu, while we navigated the rain with umbrellas in hand to shield our gear. The mandap looked absolutely breathtaking, decorated with bright yellow blooms to perfectly match Ramya’s stunning yellow saree, while fragrant jasmine garlands filled the air with the perfect touch and scent. Dressed traditionally in a dhoti and angavastram, Shobhit fully embraced and enjoyed every South Indian custom in a ceremony overflowing with laughter and genuine love. It was an absolute joy to capture the beautiful chemistry between Ramya and Shobhit, and I feel incredibly grateful to have been chosen to document their unforgettable special day.

Manpreet + Emily + Big Boi Mac -Paws, Portraits, and Golden Hour: A Bay Area Lifestyle Session
When Manpreet first reached out and asked if I’d be comfortable including their dog, Max, in their couple’s session, my answer was an immediate, "Hell ya!" As a photographer, there’s always that tiny bit of "puppy panic" in the back of your mind—how do you pose a dog? But let me tell you, Max was the ultimate professional. He was such a good boy, making my job easy and the photos absolutely heart-melting.
We started right in the comfort of their home. There’s something so intimate and authentic about capturing a couple (and their pup) in their own element. It was about capturing the beautiful bond they share every day.
Afterward, we headed to one of our stunning local parks right here in San Ramon. We are truly blessed to have such vast open spaces and rolling hills just minutes away.
The timing couldn't have been more perfect. As the sun began to dip, we were treated to one of those legendary California golden hours. The light hit the grass just right, creating a warm, dreamy glow that perfectly mirrored the love between Manpreet and their partner (with Max leading the way, of course!).
"Pets aren't just additions to a photo; they are family. Capturing that bond is what makes a lifestyle shoot feel like home."

If you’ve been hesitant to book a shoot because you’re worried about how your four-legged best friend will behave—look no further. I’m here to tell you that the "chaos" of a pet is exactly what brings a photo to life.

From the Golden Gate Bridge to Cable Cars and then the Pacific Shores: A San Francisco Love Story
From a windy sunrise at Battery Spencer to the quiet glow of Lover’s Lane, capturing Chanchal and Abheejeet’s love story marked the start of 2026. Chanchal was a total Braveheart, rocking a stunning saree despite the SF chill—though I have to admit, that wind made for some incredible movement in the shots! 💨
We chased the light from the iconic tram lines to the backlit eucalyptus trees at Lover’s Lane, ending the day at Baker Beach with a color palette that felt like a painting. I loved the balance between Chanchal’s vibrant energy and Abheejeet’s steady calm.
So grateful for a "job" that introduces me to such wonderful souls.
