01 / The ceremonies

Every ceremony, known by name.

A South Asian wedding isn't one event. It's a week of them. I know the order, the light, the people.

I grew up inside these ceremonies before I photographed them. So I don't miss the rukhsati because I was still on the food.

Pakistani, Indian, Sikh, Hindu and Bengali weddings, all shot with equal fluency. Female second photographer on every booking. No awkward conversations.

What couples say.

What made them write in after the photos landed.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Yahya didn't just document our wedding. He curated it. The rukhsati sequence made my grandmother cry.

Having a female photographer for the ladies' mehndi meant everything. Yahya sorted it. Just knew.

05 / About

Photographs that remember the day better than the day did.

I grew up between two cities built on Friday prayer, jasmine, and long kitchen conversations.

Started with a disposable camera at a cousin's mehndi in 2014. Eight years on: weddings, fashion, short films. Shooting anywhere jasmine grows.

My work is honest before it is beautiful. I'd rather miss a perfect frame than fake one.

07 / FAQ

Good questions.

Most of what comes up in a first call. Anything else, WhatsApp works best.

Do you travel internationally?
Yes. Roughly one in three weddings is abroad. Travel quoted at cost, never marked up.

Do you have a female second photographer?
Every wedding includes a female second photographer for ladies' events. A regular collaborator, not a stranger. She knows the ceremonies as well as I do.

How far in advance should we book?
Popular weekends book 10 to 12 months ahead. Weekdays and off season often open inside three months. Fashion and brand work slots inside four weeks.

Photo and video?
Both. Never through an outsourced film crew. The Day and The Story packages include a dedicated filmmaker from the same team.

When do we receive the gallery?
30 image sneak peek in 72 hours. Full gallery in two to three weeks. Short films follow four to six weeks later. Albums within eight weeks of sign off.
