About — परिचय

I shoot weddings the way I'd want mine shot.

जैसे अपनी शादी हो, वैसे ही दूसरों की भी

I am Aarav Saxena, a Delhi-based photographer with a small studio in Saket and a habit of saying yes to ferocious weddings in places I have never been. I cut my teeth assisting Mahesh Shantaram in 2017, went solo in 2019, and have spent the last six years figuring out what I actually believe about photographing love.

What I believe: the best wedding photographs are made by being trusted, not by being clever. I work close, talk less, and stay out of the choreography. I never use a second photographer unless the day demands it. The album is yours, the RAWs are yours, and the story stays yours — even after I am paid.

"A wedding is not a photoshoot. It is a day with a camera in the room. My job is to be the most invisible person there — until the picture asks me to step closer."

Couples speak · जोड़ियाँ कहती हैं

“Aarav was the only vendor who asked us about our parents' relationship before he asked us about ours. The pictures show that. We have a 50-page album we look at every monsoon and cry. Worth every paisa.”

3-day Hindu-Tamil wedding · Hotel Diggi Palace, Jaipur · Feb 2025
“We hired Aarav for a small court wedding — 11 family members, 4 hours, no fanfare. He treated it like he was shooting a Sabyasachi campaign. The candid of my Nani putting the maala on me is now on her wall in the village.”

Court wedding + reception · Defence Colony · Apr 2024
“अरव जी ने हमारी मेहंदी से लेकर विदाई तक हर पल इस तरह कैद किया कि देखते ही आँसू आ जाएँ। पापा कहते हैं — "इसने वो दिखाया जो मैंने भी नहीं देखा था।" यही सबसे बड़ी तारीफ़ है।”

Punjabi wedding · 4 days · Chandigarh + Manali · Nov 2024
“I was the bride and a control freak. I had a 14-page shotlist. Aarav read it on the call, said "let me keep this but trust me to know when to put the camera down" — and that's exactly what he did. The best photographs are the ones I would never have asked for.”

“We are a same-sex couple and most photographers in Delhi were either weird, expensive, or both. Aarav was none of those things. The wedding looked like a wedding, not a Pride parade with food. We will recommend him to every queer couple we meet.”

Frequently asked · पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

The honest answers.

How much is the deposit, and is it refundable?
A 30% deposit confirms the date — usually ₹15,000–₹50,000 depending on the package. The deposit is refundable up to 60 days before the wedding, minus a flat ₹3,000 admin fee. Within 60 days the deposit is non-refundable but transferable to a future date within the next 12 months.
How long until I receive the photographs?
A 30–40 frame highlight gallery within 7 working days of the wedding. The full edited gallery (all 200 / 500 / 1,500+ photographs depending on package) within 6 weeks. Albums and wedding films within 10 weeks. I never miss a delivery date — that is a personal rule.
Do you send the RAW files? Who owns the photographs?
Yes. RAWs are delivered with every package — on a USB or Google Drive — once final payment is cleared. You own the photographs for personal use forever, anywhere, in any format. I retain a non-exclusive licence to use them in my portfolio and for editorial features only, and only with your written approval.
Will you travel? Do I pay for flights and hotel?
Yes, anywhere. Travel within India is included in the Full Story package. For other packages, flights and twin-sharing accommodation for the photographer + assistant are billed at cost (no markup). International weddings invoiced separately — the only place I have not yet shot is Iceland, and I would like to.
How heavy-handed is your editing? Can I see un-edited frames?
I edit with a light touch — colour-correct exposure, lift shadows, balance skin tones, very occasional spot heal. No skin-smoothing unless you request it. No overcooked teal-and-orange. The edit looks like the moment looked. RAWs are always available so you can see for yourself.
Are you available for same-sex weddings?
Yes, gladly. Indian and international.
Will you give me Instagram-ready reels during the wedding?
Yes — the Full Story package includes same-day Insta reels during functions (sangeet reel posted before mehendi ends, that kind of thing). For other packages it is an add-on at ₹6,000.
What gear do you shoot on?
Two Canon R5 bodies, one R6 backup. RF 28–70 f/2L, 50 f/1.2L, 85 f/1.2L, 135 f/1.8L. Profoto B10X strobes for studio. DJI Mavic 3 Cine for drone. Two assistants run audio and lights for film. Boring answer, but you asked.
