Simrit was lucky to have grandfather’s blessings on her special day. It’s in hindsight that we realize the true value of photographs taken with loved ones. 🤍

Capturing feelings in a photo has proven to be something that doesn’t come as easy as it might seem. It has taken me years to truly understand how to express my feelings through the lens and to be open to seeing those emotions reflected back at me. Even now, I feel like I’m constantly rediscovering and refining this skill. As photographers, we are privileged to witness these intimate emotional milestone, and it’s our responsibility to honor them by capturing them authentically and beautifully.

My absolute favourite portraits end up being those that capture the genuine and unguarded moments between photos. A spontaneous laugh, a warm embrace, or a fleeting glance can often speak volumes more than a carefully orchestrated pose.
I want to create an environment where you can feel at ease and be yourself in that space. In a world where many images are meticulously staged, it’s easy to lose sight of the unique personalities we’re capturing. My hope is that when you look back on your photos decades from now, you’ll see yourself in those photographs.

Sometimes a single photo can encapsulate the feeling of an event.
Tuning into the moment and choosing when to press the shutter, I live for that. There was a moment during Ganiv’s Doli ceremony where things just aligned. The ominous evening sky, the expressions on Tarndeep, Ganiv and her mother’s faces, and the slow, steady departure toward a new chapter of their lives.
Everything felt heavy and quiet at the same time.
One of those moments you don’t direct, you just recognize, and press the shutter.
I’m excited to have @pardeepsingh at ARC 2027.

but for how he sees.

No noise.
No chasing.
Just presence.

These are some photographs from my last trip to India in 2007.
I was in my early 20s. Not married yet. No kids. Photography was still something I was figuring out. I was curious and wandering, trying to understand the country through a camera.
Looking back now, I can see how I experienced India through a much younger set of eyes.
In a few days, I’ll be returning for the first time in almost two decades.
I’m curious how the sights, sounds, and feeling of the place will land this time. But even more than that, I’m curious how my kids will experience their motherland for the first time. What will they notice? What will stay with them?
Lately I’ve been thinking about how to approach this trip. Preparing to go with open eyes and an open heart. Trying to be present in the moments we experience there, while also documenting them in a way that feels meaningful.
These 19 photographs are a small window into how I saw things back then.
Now I get to see it all again.
This Mehfil was an event I don’t think I’ll soon forget. The energy of the beautiful live music, the celebrations on the dance floor, and the genuine love of Raunaq & Rahul. Just incredible.
Days leading up to the wedding.
Little interactions with each other.
And sometimes with me.
Glances. Hugs. Quiet conversations.
Simple, natural beauty in all of it.
Always unfolding in front of us.
Jasmine’s Maiyan.
I’m always drawn to the small moments.
The pause before someone smiles.
The way light falls on fabric.
Hands resting quietly in someone’s lap.
So many of these moments can slip by, and many do.
But when you notice them, and hold on to them, they feel just as important as anything else.
That’s what I love about days like this.
The last night of the week.
By this point, everyone has been through a lot together. Early mornings. Long days. Emotions building.
Then the dance floor opens and you see everything come out.
Parents letting loose. Friends fully in it. The couple beaming.
It’s loud and joyful, but there’s something deeper underneath it too. I never take that for granted.
Prubjeet and Aneil’s reception embodied all those feelings. Looking at these photos brought all of them back.
There’s a spectacle to weddings that I love. The rhythm, the energy, the way a space fills with feeling when everyone gathers.
At Arjun’s Maiyan and Jago, I found myself both embracing that experience and quietly observing it. Aware of my role within it, but also stepping back to see the full picture. The everyday moments, the emotional peaks, and everything in between.
That balance is what keeps this work meaningful to me.
