We didn't realize how much of the day we'd missed until the photographs came back. Half of what we love most about the album are the moments we never saw — my mother laughing in a doorway, my father re-tying his safa, a child asleep on a chair near the mandap.
Aarav photographs the way a good friend would — patient, never in your face, but somehow always in the right spot.
The newborn shoot was twenty minutes of actual photographing and three hours of him sitting on the floor with our cat. We have 80 frames we love.
We've worked with a lot of photographers on shoots and Studio Lumière is one of two we book without a second thought.
The album arrived in a wooden box. My mother cried. My grandmother cried. I cried in the shower later. Worth every rupee.
We barely noticed they were there. And then the photographs came back and it was the entire day, exactly as it had felt.
We hired them for a corporate brand shoot expecting commercial polish. Got something better — quiet, human, on-brand.
Two days, two photographers, zero stress. We met them once over a video call and trusted them with our entire family wedding.
