Krishna and Joel’s Sangeet at Ruby Hill and Intimate Backyard Wedding at Silver Creek , San Jose

Krishna was the first bride who booked me for her wedding last year sometime in October 2022 (although the 4th wedding I shot). She found me on instagram but back then I did not have any weddings to show her. All I could tell her is I have 6+ years of experience, have been part of an award winning album in a 2 people team, photographed at most venues in the Bay Area but cannot show her any images from my past job. I clearly recall that it was one of the shortest client calls I have ever had.

I met Krishna and Joel for the first time on the day of the Sangeet.The Sangeet was hosted by her mama at the Ruby Hill Community Center. They are fun couple and it shows in their images. All I wanted to do is capture the happy genuine smiles.

The next day was a Pooja at Krishna’s house

The Wedding took place at her other mama’s house in San Jose attended by close family and friends. Krishna looked absolutely gorgeous and happy and I tried my best to capture and translate that feeling in the portraits. It is easy to capture what you see but often It is hard to ensure that you are also capturing the vibe and feeling that you feel as a spectator in the room.

I met the same group of people for 3 consecutive days and all the families were so warm and welcoming. These are the things I cherish as a photographer more than anything else. I will always be grateful to Krishna for believing in me when no one else did.
