Me & my family
Hello. I’m Girish.
I’m father to an adorable baby girl, Kaveri, who’ll soon turn 10! (can’t believe it’s 2 digits!!). Deepa and I have been married since December 24th, 2006. Her unconditional support is why I’m able to do what I love. She’s my biggest fan and also my biggest critic.
We live in Pune and call this city our home. Deepa and I were both born and raised in Mumbai, and that will always be our first home—a place that holds our roots and our calling.
Deepa loves her strong filter coffee, Mumbai sandwiches, and reading books. She’s a German language translator and a major Kishore Kumar fan.
Kaveri loves her pizzas, eats anything that’s sweet, enjoys games, spending time with friends, playing endlessly in gardens, and a lot more. At the moment, she’s hooked on to Lord of the Rings and the board game Game of Life.
I am an avid gamer who loves watching animated movies and scribbling on paper. I still miss my old G.I. Joe and He-Man figurines. Pizza and espresso are godsent! I’m a huge fan of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean franchises. You’ll always find me listening to music. I’ve been a rock and heavy metal fan for years. Football is a game close to my heart. Lame jokes, dad jokes, and puns are totally my thing. I’m always cracking a joke or two during photo sessions—it lightens the mood and brings out real expressions.
My Journey into Photography
I received my first point-and-shoot camera almost 12 years ago from Deepa, and that truly marked the beginning of my photography journey. I took that camera everywhere, photographing everything I could. I took a lot of bad pictures—and if I was lucky, a few good ones. But the experience taught me a lot about photography and, most importantly, about patience.
As I explored different aspects of photography, I found myself gravitating toward two things I enjoyed the most, telling stories of human connection & photographing food. They’re both very different genres, but each has taught me something valuable. Weddings and portraits helped me become a better listener and a more empathetic person, while food photography helped me fall in love with light, details, and of course—all varieties of delicious food!
I would love to hear from you. Your story, your wedding day plans, and what interests you when it comes to photography.

Every story is unique and to document real life in a creative and artful way motivates me every day
Your wedding
Honest.
Joyful.
Happy.
You.
Unique.
Your wedding day is all about you—and how you want it to be. I always strive to create imagery that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. I make photographs you’ll treasure, not just for how they look, but for how they make you feel.
For me, your wedding is the most important thing. It matters to me that you’re relaxed, happy, and truly able to enjoy every moment—because the day will be very busy and will go by faster than you think. Be assured that I’ll be there with you throughout—sometimes taking photos, sometimes chatting, cracking a few jokes, helping you move around, or even gulping a quick glass of hot, piping chai by your side.
For me, wedding photography is all about capturing your wedding day in the best possible way. I’m here to catch all of it. The happy moments, the silly ones, the spontaneous laughter,
an odd loud burp, kids running wild and laughing, your sister barely managing her makeup before rushing to you, your best friend wiping off a tear she couldn’t hold back, the way the two of you smile at each other without even realizing it, your father patting your back gently, the groom stealing a quick peck on the bride’s cheek, the bride getting ready, the groom joking with his friends, and that emotional moment when your parents watch you take pheras.
I look for the little moments during the ceremonies—the stolen glances, the buzz, the shouts, the chaos, the calm, the hugs, the joy, the movement—and everything in between that truly belongs to you.
I won’t rush you for a photograph. There’s no need for mock rituals or forced smiles during ceremonies. I believe in being unobtrusive and letting the day unfold as it should—organically, beautifully, and honestly.
I’m here to tell your story. In a way that’s most meaningful to you.
I want to know your story—because how we connect is the second most important thing that will help me create beautiful photographs for you.
The first, and always will be, the love that you two share.
Kids, birthdays & family sessions
Playful.
Real.
Exciting.
Happy.
Cheerful.
It’s about capturing those incredible moments in your family—the small and the big ones. The smiles, the giggles, and the moments of love and care that make your family truly special.
I strive to keep these sessions full of fun and completely relaxed. There’s a lot of running around, cuddling, jumping, laughing, and doing everything that you like and enjoy as a family. I encourage children to run around, be silly, and most importantly, just be themselves. I let Mom and Dad take a breather, watch their kids play, and spend a few quiet moments together while I photograph moments that are unique, beautiful, and genuine—memories you’ll treasure forever.
Family photo sessions are a perfect way to pause and hold on to those fleeting moments of togetherness.
All you have to do is relax and have fun, while I take care of creating images you’ll love looking back on.
Birthdays are special! Especially if it’s the 1st or the 5th. These are memorable milestones in a young, growing family. They could be small, close-knit gatherings or lively celebrations with friends, relatives, games, cake, and presents!
Birthday parties can be held anywhere—your home, a community clubhouse, a party hall, or even at a hotel. I usually arrive a little early so we can take photos of the birthday baby with mom, dad, and grandparents in a quieter setting before the party begins. This is then followed by candid coverage of the event—decor, guests arriving, games, cake cutting, laughter, and casual group photos.
These are moments that go by in a flash—and I’m here to help you remember them, just as they happened.
