They say your parents mold you into the person you become. My parents, Saleha and Bulbul, have been married for 28 years. These photographs were taken in 1997 of their marriage ceremony and have forever inspired me as a photographer.
I have always appreciated the imperfections and reality of time in these photographs. Surviving the passage of time (literally and ideally), I have never felt these photos were outdated as someone who grew up strictly in a newer generation of artists. And that to me is proof that wedding photography trends will fade but the authenticity of real time moments captured with love will survive the passage of time.
I not only aspire to document your wedding day with passion and love, but also connect with you as a person. I believe in connecting with my clients and delivering an experience rather than just an album of photos.
Growing up in south Asia and then New York city, my curiosity and creativity had no limits. I have always been a painter like my mother, and one day I brought a dingy old camera to photograph my paintings. Soon that camera came with me everywhere I went. I decided I was a photographer when my first film scan came in with perfect symmetry, soft shadows, and a peculiar glow. I love shooting in a analog camera and I love hearing about different love stories even more.
