Kodaikanal was a dream. Every frame looked exhibition-ready. I keep going back to the gallery and finding photos I forgot existed.
IMAIKHA Weddings · Before & After
Before the vows. And long after the night ends.
We shoot you both before the wedding — no pressure, no crowd, just you two. Then we take your wedding day and make sure you actually remember it.
Real couples. Real words.
75 weddings.
Not one complaint.
I cried three times looking through the album. Once at the mandap photo. Once at the one of my dad. Once when I showed my mother.
Pondicherry street by street — it actually felt like our story, not a photoshoot. Delivered on time. No chasing, no waiting.
How we work
Two chapters.
One love story.
Before the wedding, it's just you two. No relatives watching, no timeline to keep, no nerves. We find a place, we find the light, and we shoot you the way you actually are together.
After the wedding, everything from that day gets gone through properly. What makes the album earns its place. What doesn't, doesn't.
Start Your StoryMadurai · Since 2016
One person.
Start to finish.
From the first call to the final album, Mariesh handles your entire shoot personally. No junior photographer showing up on your wedding day. No stranger editing your photos after.
Over 75 couples, across Tamil Nadu and beyond. We show up for the moment — not just the shot.
Chapter One · Pre-Wedding
Before the vows,
the story
starts here.
No awkward posing. No one rushing you. Just a place that means something to you both, light that actually works, and a full day that feels nothing like a photoshoot.
01
Talk First
We build your shoot around your story, not a template
02
We Scout It
Locations, light timing, everything planned before the day
03
Shoot Day
Candid, relaxed, real. No stiff poses, ever
04
You Get Everything
Warm-toned gallery, ready to download, yours to keep
Pre-wedding photography process — 4 steps from consultation to delivery
Step 01
We talk before
anything gets planned
Tell us how you two actually are. What you do together, how you dress, what kind of photos you've saved on your phone. We take that, build a mood board, share it with you. Nothing moves forward until you're happy with it.
We want to know your story first — not fill a brief
Mood board and shoot plan go to you before anything's booked
No surprises on shoot day. Everything confirmed upfront
Step 02 · Planning
The location is
part of the photo
A good backdrop isn't enough. Every location has one hour where the light is right and one angle where everything clicks. We know them — because we've shot there before.
Meenakshi corridors, Pondicherry streets, Kodaikanal mist — we know the light in all of them
Golden hour planned in advance, not figured out on the day
Munnar, Ooty, Goa, abroad — we travel wherever the story takes you
Step 03 · Shoot Day
The awkward feeling
goes away fast
Most couples say they forget we're there within the first 15 minutes. After that it's just the two of them moving around, laughing, talking. We work quietly around whatever's already happening.
We shoot what's real — not what we set up
Outfit changes, multiple spots, golden hour — all in one day
You'll leave feeling like you spent the day together, not like you did a shoot
Step 04 · Delivery
Edited one by one.

Why us
Honestly, here's
the difference.
No posing.
Ever.
We watch what's happening between you two and shoot that. We don't tell you where to put your hands. We don't need to.
One person,
start to finish
Mariesh shoots your photos. Mariesh edits them. Nobody else is involved. The person who was there on your day is the same one who builds your album.
On time.
Every time.
75 weddings. Zero late deliveries. That's not a selling point — it's just how this works. Promised timeline, every single time.
5.0 on Google.
Go read them.
Not one couple has left unhappy. Our entire reputation is built on that. Every wedding is treated like the only wedding we're shooting.
We travel
for your story
Madurai to Munnar, Chennai to Coorg. Eight states so far. Wherever you're getting married, we'll be there. Mariesh travels personally every time.
Camera shy?
Good.
The pre-wedding shoot is basically practice. By the time your wedding comes, you already know how this goes. It shows in the photos — every time.
Common Questions
Everything you
want to know.
Every shoot includes a personal consultation and mood board, location scouting and golden-hour planning, a full shoot day with unlimited candid frames, and a final edited gallery of 50–200+ high-resolution images. Destination packages also include a cinematic short film.
Edited photos arrive within 2–3 weeks. The cinematic wedding film takes 3–4 weeks, the premium album design 4–6 weeks, and the final digital gallery is delivered at the same time as the album. All 75+ weddings have been delivered on time, without exception.
Yes. IMAIKHA has covered destination shoots across Kodaikanal, Pondicherry, Munnar, Ooty, Goa, and international locations. Mariesh travels personally for every shoot — there is no team handoff at any point.
Mariesh handles every shoot personally from first call to final album. No junior photographers, no delegation. The same person who photographs your pre-wedding or wedding day is the same person who edits and delivers your gallery.
IMAIKHA uses a signature warm, cinematic tone — natural skin, rich shadows, timeless colour grading. Each photo is individually edited, not batch processed. The goal is photos that look beautiful in 20 years, not photos tied to a current filter trend.
