We chose Anu as our engagement and wedding photographer, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and, in my opinion, one of the best in the business. From our engagement session through our wedding day, Anu was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. He has an incredible eye for photography and was always looking for the best lighting, backdrops, and angles. He also did an amazing job capturing all of the special, candid moments with our guests throughout the reception. One moment that really stood out happened during our bride and groom photos. While riding in the golf cart, we went through a muddy area and mud splashed on the back of my wedding dress. Without hesitation, Anu grabbed paper towels and water and immediately started blotting the mud out of my dress. He went above and beyond to make sure I was okay and that we could continue getting the photos we had dreamed of. You can truly tell photography is Anu’s passion, and it shows in every photo. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful, and we will treasure them forever. If you are looking for a photographer for an engagement, wedding, family photos, or anything in between, I cannot recommend Anu enough! You will not regret booking him!

Anu is the absolute best!! During my search for a photographer I read a review about Anu that said if you book him you will gain a new best friend, and I can truly say that we have...

become such good friends with Anu while working with him and I know we will still be friends after the wedding!! He is amazing, so caring, funny, and makes you feel so comfortable even when poses might feel awkward - he gets you to relax. I can’t recommend him enough! Our wedding was so special to have him there and I was confident we were in good hands because of how professional and awesome he is. Another great thing was how sweet his wife was! Seriously amazing people. 10/10!!!

g the ceremony and reception, he made excellent suggestions for photos, was totally game for whatever was going on, and even got into the river to get the best view of us (yes - really!). He really captured the vibe and the overall experience of the day, in addition to some beautiful family photos and portraits. If you are looking for a photographer who is willing to "adventure" with you, Anu is a great choice.

cess so easy and enjoyable. His photography skills are incredible; every photo looks like it could be in a magazine. He knows exactly how to pose people naturally and beautifully, which made us feel confident and relaxed in front of the camera. What I appreciated most is how he made sure all the important moments were captured, the big ones and the small, meaningful details we might have otherwise missed. I know that looking through our gallery will feel like reliving the day all over again. I would recommend Anu to anyone looking for a talented, genuine, and caring photographer. Truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Our full wedding photo portfolio was uploaded promptly, and the photos were absolutely stunning with so many candid moments captured!

We highly recommend him to anyone in the DMV area looking for a friendly, kind, and phenomenal photographer.

Wonderful to work with! We had a free engagement shoot in our wedding package, which gave us a chance to meet in person and get to know each other. I loved this idea, because we al...

so got to see more of his style of photography and editing before the big day (we originally weren't going to do any sort of engagement shoot, but hey it was free)! And the day of the wedding, Anu was SUPER professional and moved like a shadow to catch a lot of candid shots - which I LOVE! He also has a lot of different forms of payment, which was nice to just use Venmo and not have to write checks or go through a special website to make payments like with other venders we used. He was really personable and we were able to text any questions we had and get a quick answer. Very chill dude and would gladly work with him again (he does portraits and family photo shoots as well)!

Upon receiving the photos, which came in much quicker than I thought, I felt like I was reliving the day all over again. He captured so many details that I barely even saw myself that day because I was so busy, and we are so grateful for that! We are so happy with all of our photos! I will 100% connect with him again for any needs in the future, and you should definitely hire him for your wedding!

There are so many great pictures that we are having a hard time choosing which one to enlarge & frame on our wall. Anu went above and beyond our expectations; he even came to our after party to snap a few pictures after a long day of being at the venue. We cannot recommend Anu for a wedding photographer enough - he is so incredibly talented & he is truly a gem to work with!

ssed with his work and how he was able to be on top of everything but it never felt intrusive. Despite our photo timeline starting 30 minutes late, Anu remained super professional and cheerful as we still managed to get all of our photos in with time to spare at the end! He was also a fun, creative person to talk with while we did our couples portraits. I just got married a few days ago, so we obviously don't have the photos back yet, but the ones from our engagement photoshoot were beautiful and were delivered faster than we expected!

Anu is undeniably fantastic at his job - our photos captured our day perfectly, from amazing detail shots to all the candid moments that we wanted to remember, to wonderful photos ...

of our family and friends celebrating our wedding. Aside from providing priceless documentation of our wedding day, Anu was SO FUN to hang out with, and really had a handle on all the craziness of the day. He kept us on track, catered to our every ask and need, and STILL got amazing photos in the process. We got so many compliments from our guests on Anu’s attitude and energy the whole day - which by the way was HOT and all outside, and he was still somehow in 5 places at once. I don’t think our wedding would have been nearly as enjoyable for us and our guests without his expertise. If you are looking for a wonderful person and expert photographer that brings a truly authentic and thoughtful perspective to capture your wedding, Anu should be your first call!!!

Anu is the literal best. Our wedding pictures are going to be our most treasured possessions for the rest of our lives, and we could not be more obsessed with how they turned out....

They were delivered WAY faster than we expected for both the engagement session (10 days) and wedding (less than 3 weeks!). Many of our friends getting married have waited months so we were prepared for the same. He even texted us some sneak peeks while we were on our honeymoon which was a special and personal touch. Throughout the planning process, Anu was fun and easy to work with and we genuinely enjoyed having him there as a part of our day the entire wedding - it was a long day and a large wedding and he was a highlight. Both before and after the wedding, any time my husband, my mom, or I texted him with a request or question, he would have it done in seconds somehow. We got so many compliment from our wedding party, family, and friends on Anu’s overall vibe while getting the job done. Not to mention, the photos and edits are STUNNING!!! He also photographed our dog beautifully which was so special!! Thank you Anu!!

Anu did an amazing job as the photographer for two of our wedding events - our pre-wedding haldi ceremony in our home + our traditional Hindu wedding at a temple in November 2023....

There was a lot going on at both events and he did a great job of capturing all of the important moments. He got our photos to us in a very reasonable time frame (4-6 weeks, when up to 2-3 months is very common for other photographers) and even sent a couple of them to us early so we could use them for thank you notes. We absolutely loved our first look photos and he did a great job of capturing a lot of fun candids of our guests as well. We were so, so happy with our experience and would definitely hire Anu again!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars. Anu is incredibly professional while still being warm and friendly. He arrived at our early getting ready time and by the end of our wedding...

day he felt like family, not to mention our entire wedding party loved him!! He captured every detail/ shot that we requested and more. He helped out around the bridal suite and even ran to the store for us and offered to give my grandma's friend a ride to our ceremony. He wore so many hats that day and still managed to take the most incredible photos, both posed and candid. He also let my bridal party play around with the camera for a bit. I have nothing but amazing things to say and would recommend Anu to anyone looking for a photographer.

Anu was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are an interracial couple and we had Anu as our photographer for our mehndi ceremony and full wedding day. He was early, communicative,...

constantly in motion, and made sure to capture every moment he possibly could! He took more pictures than two photographers could have, combined. He worked well with guests who wanted posed pictures with us, while capturing intimate moments, candid pictures, and detail shots in between. His pictures are stunning and we are SO happy we chose him. His energy and joy he brought to our events was a blessing for us and our families.
