I stay quiet so your day stays yours.

Photography found me when life got too fast to ignore.

What I make are not just images. They are something to come back to. Years from now, when you look at these photographs, you won't just see what it looked like. You'll remember what it felt like. Because I felt it too. I was in the room.

I work quietly. I don't pose people, and I rarely ask you to look at me. I'll direct when it helps, where to stand and where the light is, and then I stay close, stay patient, and trust that the real moments will come, because they always do.

I'm drawn to the in-between. The exhale just before someone laughs. A hand finding another without thinking. The two seconds after the vows when nobody quite knows what to do next, and then everything breaks open.

I photograph elopements and small weddings across Melbourne and beyond, always documentary, always unposed. My job is to be so unobtrusive that by the end of the day, you've forgotten I was there. The photographs are what remind you.

I'm a husband to Pooja, and dad to Kabir and Vaani. Having them has changed how I see this work. I understand now, properly, what it means to want a moment kept. What it costs when one isn't.

The best thing you can say to me after getting your gallery is that it made you cry. The second best is that you forgot I was there.
