Relaxed sessions for couples in Kharadi — anniversaries, or simply the realisation that you moved cities together and have nothing to show for it.
The gap most couples here notice eventually
You moved to a new city together and never once photographed it.
Two people relocate for work, build an entire life in Kharadi, and the only decent photograph of them together is from the wedding.
It is an odd gap and a very common one. The years that involve the most change — a new city, a first flat, learning a place from scratch — are usually the least documented, because there is nobody around to take the picture and no occasion that demands one.
That is the whole case for booking an hour. Not an anniversary, not a milestone, just a record of the two of you in the period you will later describe as when everything started.
It stays deliberately low-key. Gentle direction so you are never left guessing what to do with your hands, and an hour that ends with photographs that look like you rather than like a production.
The gap these sessions fill is specific to couples who relocated. The years involving the most change — a new city, a first flat, learning a place from scratch — are usually the least documented, because there was nobody around to take the picture and no occasion demanding one.
Which is a good enough reason on its own. Not an anniversary, not a milestone, simply a record of the period you will later describe as when everything started.
These sessions suit weekday evenings surprisingly well, which is worth knowing for couples whose weekends are already committed. Late afternoon light on a Tuesday is the same light as on a Saturday.
Keep it short. An hour is plenty, and a longer booking tends to produce diminishing returns with two people who would rather be doing something else.
If there is somewhere in the city that means something to the two of you, name it. For couples who moved here together there usually is, and it makes the photographs specific.
Getting ready
Very little
Wear what you actually wear, in colours that sit together. Nothing bought specially — the photographs should look like you rather than like an occasion.
One change each is plenty for an hour. More turns a relaxed session into a schedule.
Think about whether there is anywhere that matters to you in this city. For couples who moved here together there usually is, and it is worth naming.
Planning it
A short conversation first
Whether there is an occasion or not, because the answer changes the register more than the location does.
How much direction you want. Some couples are relieved by being told exactly where to stand; others find it stiffening.
And whether you want the city in the frame. For people who built a life here, that is often the point rather than the backdrop.

We are not photogenic and have no idea how to pose.
Nobody does, and being told to relax has never helped anyone. You get gentle direction throughout, so you are never standing there guessing.
Do we need an occasion?
No. Plenty of these are booked for no reason beyond wanting a decent photograph together, which is reason enough.
How quickly can you fit us in?
Ask and we will tell you what is open. These are short sessions and easier to place than a full function, particularly on a weekday.
Studio or outdoors?
Either. The studio is predictable and comfortable; outdoors gives you light and a sense of place. Tell us which appeals.
Where do most couples book these from?
Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri, Viman Nagar, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa and Kalyani Nagar, in roughly that order. A lot of them are people who moved to this side of the city together, which is usually the reason they are booking at all.
We cannot pose and are not photogenic.
Nobody can, and being told to relax has never helped anyone. You get gentle direction throughout.
How long is a session?
About an hour, deliberately. Longer does not produce better photographs of two people.
Can we bring a change of clothes?
Yes, one change is plenty. Two looks gives variety without turning it into a schedule.
What time of day works best?
Late afternoon most of the year. If that does not suit, tell us and we will work around it.
Can we do this at home?
Yes, if the light works. Tell us which way your flat faces and we will suggest a time.
Can we do this on a weekday evening?
Yes, and it is often easier to book. The light is the same.
Do you photograph anniversaries specifically?
Yes, and tell us the number if it matters. It sometimes changes what the couple wants from the session.
We do not know anyone here to ask along.
Nobody else is needed. These are an hour, just the two of you, with direction throughout.
We would like something to send home.
Then a few clear, simple frames are worth asking for alongside the rest.
No occasion needed
Send us a rough week that suits. Most of these are arranged in a couple of messages.
