Gaatha

I knew I wanted Gaatha to capture our wedding ever since I saw their incredible work at a friend’s wedding back in 2019. Priyanshu came highly recommended, and he and his team did not disappoint this time around either! From the start, their professionalism and organization were top-notch - the best we’ve seen in a photographer. They communicated so well during planning, truly listened to our vision, and provided excellent guidance throughout. On the day, they were punctual and seamlessly blended in, allowing us to be fully present while they captured each special moment. Their natural, tasteful shots perfectly reflect the joy of our day, with beautiful candids that highlight the little in-between moments and the love of our friends and family. Their videography is truly next level, they're story-tellers, not just people who montage random videos together. We’re so grateful to have these timeless memories, and we couldn’t recommend Gaatha more!

Worked closely with the Gaatha team in Nov and December 2023 for two weddings- one was for my best friend's wedding and the other one was my own. They are exceptional! They really understood what we were looking for and executed the same to perfection. They were available, easy to coordinate and willing to go an extra mile for getting those perfect shots. Everyone in their team made us feel so comfortable, especially for a person like me who is usually awkward in front of cameras. Highly recommend them!!!

Gaatha (Priyanshu, Rachana, Atish, Siddhesh & Gaurav) The experience we had shooting with them was so so impressive. Right from the first shoot in Mumbai to our pre wedding and wedding in Bali and back to Mumbai. They were not the "make this pose - do this thing - can you do it again" photographers. They literally captured us in our truest most genuine forms. The talent that the team has is immense and they use their creativity in every corner that they find! The results that we are seeing in terms of photos and videos that they are creating is nothing short of a movie. All our friends have told us stuff like “let’s discuss each photo for 10 mins, those videos are like a trailer, the photos are incredible” They not only get your emotional self, they also remind you to smile at times, help you when you are feeling uncomfortable, try to get shots of everyone around as much possible and make sure you dont feel pressured of any sorts! They are very fun and very friendly which automatically makes conversations easy! We had sent them a couple of photo references and during the wedding they would come up to us, remember those references and made sure we got them! We did our pre-wedding shoot at a waterfall in Bali and after the wedding we visited Portland, USA and did a 10 waterfall hike and were like "Gaatha would have had so much fun shooting here" They have become a part of our normal vocabulary everytime we click a nice shot or look for a nice frame.

Gaatha Team (Gaurav, Priyanshu, Aatish and Rachana), We're not sure if you're wizards with cameras or just exceptionally talented humans, but we are beyond grateful for the magic you created capturing every moment of our three-day wedding extravaganza. Your ability to tell our story through your lens is nothing short of extraordinary. The candid shots, the stolen glances, and the dance floor shenanigans – you didn't just capture moments; you froze time and turned them into works of art. We appreciate your seamless transition between the vibrant colors of the Royal picnic, Sufi night, Haldi ceremony, Sangeet madness, the timeless elegance of the wedding, and the wild dance party at the reception. Each photo feels like a portal back to those special moments, and we're convinced you have a secret time-traveling camera. Thank you for not just being photographers but for becoming an integral part of our celebration. Your professionalism, creativity, and ninja-like ability to capture the perfect shot without us even realizing it left us in awe. We're pretty sure our wedding album will be the most-visited coffee table book in the history of coffee table books:-) A BIG thank you to the 'Two Fat Ladies' event planners for introducing us to you. With heartfelt thanks and applause, NiKu

I am hugely disappointed with Gaatha. Their negligence towards my engagement spoilt the whole photography. For a long time, I have been thinking of writing a review as I was recently going through my engagement pictures. We approached Gaatha by seeing their photography on Instagram. The pictures they have uploaded are really impressive. I think the treatment and services they provide are by seeing the client's financial status. They sent only one photographer to cover an entire event. The photographer was asking the guests to hold the light while taking the pictures which is disrespectful. After the event, I asked them to edit the pictures which is also not done properly. TREATING PEOPLE BY THEIR FINANCIAL STATUS AND PROVIDING SERVICES ACCORDINGLY IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE DONE. I'll add pictures for the evidence.

Really glad to have chosen Priyanshu & Raj as our photographers / cinematographers. They made us feel super comfortable and got really great candids as requested!

The entire wedding was shot by someone who’s really close to my heart. Gaurav Hingne is a dear friend since many years now. Him and his business partner Priyanshu Bhargava started a new company called ‘Gaatha’ and they photographed all the functions. They were the most integral part of the wedding team. They were involved in the wedding for more than 6 months. They spent time with our frieand family to get to know them better. Both of them are real magicians. I don’t think anyone from their team missed anything from the wedding. They captured every lil moment. Their eyes and cameras were everywhere. I’m sure I’ll be able to relive my wedding by just looking at the photos and videos.Source

Priyanshu and Gaurav were an absolute treat to work with! Even my camera conscious husband was much at ease around them. They were super involved and became a part of the wedding itself, while still doing their job impeccably. If you are looking for photographers to capture your special day with a raw and personal touch, look no further! Thank you again, guys! ❤️

As Pratha, the bride, herself is a photographer, she was very picky about who she picked for photographing her wedding. Well, Team Gaatha won that jackpot and were the official photographers for the wedding. Team Gaatha was briefed to purely take candid shots and they did a good job. They were a warm team full of good vibes and positivity. Source

Fun, professional and magical. If you are looking for someone to 'take' your wedding pictures 'for' you, there are a bunch of people out there. If however, you want someone to 'create' your wedding pictures 'with' you, gaatha is the team you should contact. Priyanshu's professionalism and clear communication sets him apart from the crowd. He will spend time getting to know you, your story, and your preferences; and then create your pictures to reflect it. We did not want a romantic photoshoot, but instead wanted something that would capture our crazy and simple relationship. Needless to say, Gaatha.co.in delivered. Priyanshu and his team (Komal Khiani, Ershard, Mayura, and Komal Tarte) will not only be your photographers and cinematographers; but they will also be your support system. They understand how overwhelming weddings can be and will be there for you, always with a reassuring smile. Komal and Mayura actually helped me get ready for my wedding; and boy oh boy did I look dapper. Since the beginning, Priyanshu was clear about his expectations and workflow. He informed us of any anticipated challenges and worked really hard to prevent them. Either ways, he made sure that there were no unpleasant surprises on our big day. The thing that makes gaatha stand out is their work ethic and attention to detail. They will deliver what they promised, and when they promised it. In our case, they delivered around 100 pictures within 10 days of the wedding. And this was during the peak Indian wedding season, so it is not a minor feat to deliver such high quality work on such a tight deadline. Needless to say, the photographs were amazing, but that is not what this review is about. Their online portfolio and numerous awards reaffirm their skills as wedding photographers/cinematographers. It is the experience that I wanted to talk about. To quote my partner "And the photographs aren't even the best part, it's the experience we had with you all that I am gonna cherish the most”. PS : if at anytime during your haldi, Priyanshu asks you to step out with him for a while; don’t do it; it’s a trap. Although it’s a really fun trap.
