“Rahul was able to capture so many wonderful pictures during our hectic weekend of events! He has an artistic eye that transforms ordinary settings into amazing, artistic, pictures.”
“Rahul was fantastic - couldn't have imagined a better engagement shoot photographer! He has a great eye, a good degree of flexibility and is incredibly pleasant to be with. And, at the end, the photos were beautiful!”
“I am in love with the album, thank you so much for the hard work and excellent professionalism! You rock!”
“I really like the way he builds a story with pictures and presents it to you in such a way that the viewer is able to go through the entire journey of these special moments, the unsaid emotions, the beautiful backgrounds as if you were somehow part of them yourselves. My husband and I were planning our wedding and our obvious choice for a photographer was Rahul. We did an engagement shoot in the US and when we looked at the pictures the only word we kept repeating was WOW!!! Our wedding ceremony took place in India and Rahul flew down to capture the most important day of our lives. Rahul has a very unique quality of not being obstructive and yet capturing the essence of the occasion. He managed to involve everybody in his story telling without making anybody feel uncomfortable. My family, especially my mom still gets teary eyed looking at the beautiful pictures captured by him!”
“On the day of the engagement shoot, I was extremely nervous because there was a giant thunderstorm rolling into the area. Rahul picked up every phone call and told me "trust me! Worse the weather, better the pictures!" I trusted him and boy was I glad I did. The pictures were beautiful and better than how I imagined. Rahul captured the beauty and the love we had for each other.”
