Wedding & Portrait Photographer

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ranjith recently photographed my engagement, and he was Amazing!
He quite literally stole the job from the photographer I was going to use because while they seemed only concerned with getting paid, Ranjith was offering me advice (where to shoot, best time of the day, ways he could help surprise my fiancé) before I had paid a dollar. I could immediately tell he really cared about my shoot being as successful as possible, and I was still surprised by how thoughtful he was in person, how open he was to trying different ideas, and then again by how well the photos turned out. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Engagement was a success, and we will both treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

Ranjith ahh such an amazing photographer. We asked him to do a photoshoot at city hall the night before the shoot (very short notice) for our close friends that were getting married and he kindly agreed. We set up the time. He was there exactly right on time and didn't waste a second. He had ideas and he was focused and knew what to take and knew how they should post. He also made sure there wasn't any background people in the shot. He was patient and attentive and man he really used his time wisely. Such a professional and was amazing to work with. We were all impressed by him. Thank you again Ranjith!! Will recommend and will hire for the future! You're awesome!!!

Ranjith and his team worked on our wedding ceremony and reception. It has been so easy working with him from the start. He’s so flexible, polite and always available to get on a call. The photos were delivered right on time and they are so beautiful. My husband and I love the work and we can’t wait to frame some of his captures at home. 11/10 would recommend!

One of our biggest concerns was that since we are a multi-racial family, we needed a photographer that could photograph various skin tones in the same shot and not wash out one or the other. We were delighted that his portfolio displayed his skill! Ranjith was communicative from day one. He made sure our schedules aligned and followed up as our wedding date approached. On the big day he arrived early to set up and surveyed the area while the wedding party got ready so he could get the most optimal shots. He was incredible at blending in that he got really nice candid shots and was great at directing the guests and making them feel comfortable. We were so happy with his work and candor that we can't wait to use him again in our future family portraits!!!

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!
