Perfect, fun and candid Indian wedding photography by a husband-wife team of wedding photographers! Who better to shoot your wedding than a married couple? Working as a husband-wife team, Arjun and Praerna are candid wedding photography specialists – and veterans of the fledgling wedding photography genre in India. With a penchant for making “fun” photos, they love creating behind the scenes memories that will last a lifetime. From their home base of New Delhi, India, they have travelled all over the country and abroad shooting weddings with their own personal and distinctive brand of exquisite, timeless and off-beat approach to wedding photography. With their own wedding on a cold, winter night a couple of years ago behind them, Arjun and Praerna understand what it takes to get married – and are able to integrate as part of your family to be able to shoot behind-the-scenes memories like no one else ever can!
Arjun Kartha is a ‘non-wedding’ wedding photographer with a candid, contemporary and off-beat approach to shooting Indian marriages. With years of rich experience, Arjun is one of the finest and most sought after wedding photographers in India. He started his career in advertising, and worked with a long line of talented photographers in all kinds of shoots that sparked his latent interest in photography. He found himself moving from advertising to retail consulting and finally to IT Marketing before he realized that his latent creativity could not be fulfilled in just corporate marketing. Now, over ten years later, Arjun finds himself precisely where he wanted to be when he first started his career – behind the lens, doing something that he loves.
Praerna is a creative professional with a bundle of talents at her disposal, which makes her the perfect companion on a wedding shoot. With over six years of experience in the advertising industry behind her, she uses all her talents to be able to direct a wedding shoot, sniff out moments from behind the scenes and be able to put a bride at ease for that perfect portrait shot. With her charming and easy going manner, and with her skill behind the camera, Praerna is able to become an integral part of the wedding and finds herself walking away with timeless wedding memories from an insider’s perspective of the wedding. When not shooting a wedding, Praerna is a talented food blogger, photographer and food-stylist. She runs a food blog called Food-dee-dum, and can also be found in the AKP studios chasing after that perfect shot of a waffle!
