When your celebrations span multiple days, potentially honor multiple religious traditions, and require in-depth insight in your cultures, you need more than a skilled photographer— you need someone who can lovingly lead you through it all, anticipate your every need, all while curating exquisite shots that look and feel effortless.
That’s where we come in.
Founder and principal photographer of Maha Studios, I’ve been fascinated by South Asian and multicultural weddings all my life and have had the honor of documenting them for over a decade.
If you’re like me, you long for adventure, you chase joy, and you’re enamored with deeper meaning. You’re looking for something different, something more than the same kind of images you've seen again and again. Your love is rare and you deserve photography rich with meaning and an experience that elevates your story, your loved ones, and the traditions that bind you all together.
