You won't stop looking at your photos!

I've planned weddings for over 15 years and I have never come across a more down to earth, communicative, punctual, respectful photographer like Ranjith.

On your wedding day you want feel each moment and not worry about whether the photos are gonna come out right in the end. With Ranjith you can do just that, you will not need to direct him, follow up with him, check in on him. He'll have your back!

Let's check some boxes: punctual, affordable, creative, professional, calm, excellent communicator, fantastic human being!

I hired Ranjith to cover my best friends wedding. The wedding was a mix of Nigerian, Latino and Indian cultures. Ranjith covered the Mehendi night in Alameda and the wedding ceremony and reception in Oakland. What Ranjith did was deliver to us the story of Lucy and James in an vivid series of portraits that to this day induces a flood of emotions at the intensity of what was experienced on the day of the event itself.

Ranjith is able to see the possibilities for creating art with people and settings within a matter of seconds. For the couple's portrait shoot at Preservation park; a venue he had not seen even in photos before the day, we had just under 45 mins of time. I was amazed by the volume and stunning compositions he came up with in that short space of time, never losing his cool under pressure.

He even delivered the photos ahead of time and I was able to publish a complete photo album for them in time for Christmas!

You will love your photos and you will love Ranjith!

Best choice we made for our wedding

From our initial conversation with Ranjith, we felt at ease and knew we were in good hands. He was approachable and flexible with our requests, which involved photographing two separate events. Ranjit and his associates made it possible for us to have this collection of beautifully captured images from both events. We felt that our style and comfort level and most importantly our schedule was well understood and we never felt rushed. The planning process was incredibly smooth. Communication was always timely, clear, and thoughtful. He offered helpful suggestions regarding location and shooting times without overwhelming us. On the wedding day, Ranjith guided us, giving just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves. His calm and friendly presence helped bring out the best in us and it truly shows in the photos. He captured the key moments, little in-between and paid attention to small details. The photos turned out wonderful, with each one telling a piece of our story. They're memories that we will forever hold dear. We are so thankful to have had him capture our day and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Amazing experience for our wedding last fall

We had nothing but the best experience working with Ranjith for our Sangeet and wedding photos last fall. Photography was a huge priority for us, and we were both nervous about finding someone who could truly understand our vision. After seeing his amazing reviews and speaking with him, we felt at ease immediately. Ranjith was incredibly friendly, and his professionalism shone through from the start.

He took the time to listen to our ideas and understand our vision, while also offering his expertise and suggestions. We were constantly in touch leading up to the wedding, finalizing the schedule for the shoot and discussing the kinds of shots we wanted. Ranjith was always readily available to answer questions, even helping with practical details like the best placement for the stage at our daytime Sangeet to ensure the lighting was perfect.

On the day of both the Sangeet and wedding, Ranjith arrived bright and early with a smile, full of energy and fresh ideas. He put us both at ease and knew exactly what to do, making sure we got all the shots we wanted in the time we had set aside.

When the final photos arrived, we were beyond thrilled with the results. Every shot was beautifully captured and exactly what we had hoped for. We will cherish these photos forever and are so grateful to Ranjith for making our wedding memories so special.

If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also truly listens to your vision and makes the entire experience stress-free, Ranjith is the one to go with! We couldn't recommend him more!

Passionate photographer with gorgeous photos

It was an absolute pleasure working with Ranjith and his team. Ranjith was very easy to reach and incredibly friendly right off the bat. He offered to meet with us in-person before the wedding to go through the details of our wedding. We chose him because of how personalized the experience felt. It was clear that he cared about our wedding as much as we did.

On the wedding day, Ranjith and his team arrived early and were so efficient. It's amazing to look at the photos now and see how many tiny details he captured with such a gorgeous aesthetic. Despite being an artist myself and very picky, I am blown away by how stunning the photos and video turned out. Ranjith was also so friendly with everyone that many of our guests still remember his name.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend Ranjith as your wedding (or other event) photographer. Wedding planning is stressful enough, and Ranjith took the so much stress off of our plates with his attention to detail, passion, and talent. He was a gem to work with and we could not have asked for better photos to capture our special day.

Our moments captured in time PERFECTLY!

We could not be happier with the choice we made, when we chose Ranjith to be our photographer for our wedding. We had a fun time shooting our engagement photos with him at Baker Beach and had even more fun on our wedding day. He even provides a sample timeline, which greatly assists in understanding what to expect the day of the wedding.

Ranjith and his team are very professional and extremely skilled in their work. Each and every photo was perfect and our video is magnificent! Tears of joy cannot be held back each time I watch.

Ranjith and his team were a joy to work with and we would highly recommend him for your wedding or event.

Incredible

Ranjith, wow.

My wife and I were married in mid September and we were lucky enough to obtain Ranjith's services for our special day. Originally, we didn't know exactly what we wanted from a photography perspective, but Ranjith came up in our Google searches for photographers in the Bay Area. We were on a tight budget and Ranjith was able to accommodate our needs. Before the event, Ranjith reached out several times to go over details and was flexible with our busy schedules. He was eager to cater to every request we made. On the day of the event, he was early and ready to start photographing as soon as he got there. Ranjith was professional, over the top in pleasantries with our guests and family members, and ensured everyone felt comfortable being photographed. We had a few commutes, as our locations for getting ready, the ceremony, and the reception were all in different locations, and he was able to be everywhere at the perfect times, flawlessly. He was able to capture our wedding day with such splendor and luminosity, and we can't thank him enough. Our special day wouldn't have been what it was without the help of Ranjith.

Needless to say, the photos came out spectacular - all of those friends and family can't stop raving about how well they turned out! We even received our full 700+ photo gallery within just a few weeks of the event.

We are so pleased with how much time, effort, and care Ranjith put into our wedding day. We can't recommend him enough.

Thanks again, Ranjith.

Great photos

I worked with Ranjith for my wedding a few weeks ago and working with him was great!!! From the first time I contacted him, he always made sure to get back to me in a timely manner. I would get responses within minutes no matter what time of day it was. This was especially pleasing for someone like me who likes to plan everything down to the minute detail.

He was also great with respect to discussing my vision prior to the wedding. He got on a few calls with me and made sure that he understood everything that I wanted to come out of my photos.

He was also great with learning how to navigate unplanned scenarios. It was potentially going to rain on my wedding day and he was very diligent in creating a new plan for the photography vision indoors.

Finally, on the day of the wedding Ranjith was nothing but great! He suggested a second photographer for my large venue, which was the perfect choice to get all different types of angles during the ceremony! He was there every step of the way and made sure that he captured some of the most important moments of my life.

I got the photos back in less than three weeks and they were STUNNING! I couldn’t help but tear up looking at how perfect they came out. I received tons of compliments from people around me regarding how fabulous they looke.

Overall, Ranjith is a professional, dedicated, and talented photographer! 10/10 would recommend!

Flexible & VerySskilled!

In August 2022, Ranjith photographed my wedding at San Francisco City Hall. Everything went smoothly, from the initial arrangements to the wedding day and subsequent follow-up. Ranjith was clearly very well acquainted with San Francisco City Hall, directing us to lots of out of the way nooks that proved to be beautiful backdrops for photos. He skillfully captured every moment that we were hoping to remember. Our wedding photos are everything we were hoping they would be. My husband and I enthusiastically recommend Ranjith to you!
