Wedding photography and filmmaking has been our family business for three generations. I grew up around cameras and officially joined the company in March 2017 after finishing school, focusing on shooting and editing weddings. As a Lead Cinematographer at Chhabi Photography from 2017 to 2023, I captured events, directed shoots, and edited content, including sports matches and wedding moments, while building engaging stories for clients. I bring a friendly, collaborative approach to every project and love pairing traditional storytelling with modern visuals.
