Indian weddings by Katia

We had the honour to have Katia as candid photographer for our fusion wedding in September 2023. We were looking for a wedding photographer who brings creativity to the traditional wedding in a place like Varanasi. After searching for months we got to know about her and just liked her work at first instance. She made a traditional setup to a canvas what we would remember for lifetime and would share memories with our children and grandchildren. Everything about she and her team was professional from shooting to delivery of photographs. I would say her work made our wedding a lifetime memorable event by capturing candid moments of traditional events like haldi, phere etc. held in a very traditional way. We felt she was a rare finding for a place like Varanasi.

We had the honour of Katia & her team at our wedding. She is an incredible human being, super talented photographer and is extremely generous with her ideas. Trust us, she will leave no stone unturned and will go beyond your imagination. She spent a lot of time scouting around the venue and its grounds for inspiration and came up with some brilliant ideas for shots. She went an extra mile to suggest a different location for Jaimal Ceremony and gosh! We are super glad to have accepted it. Katia really made the effort to get to know us and ensured that the photos of our wedding reflected our personalities which offered a really nice personal touch. She is a great human being to have as a part of your special day and is clearly so passionate about what she does. Her friendly disposition, infinite supply of energy and undeniable sense of fun allowed us to completely relax in her company and be our true selves in front of the lens. We were delighted with both the variety and quality of the photographs. She & her team was unobtrusive and consequently captured so many natural, happy memories and we have thoroughly enjoyed reliving our special day through them. All our memories from the wedding day have been captured so perfectly from start to finish. Katia’s unique use of light and gorgeous tones make our wedding look like a dreamy fairy tale. The photos tell the story and bring back every feeling from our wedding day and we look at them feeling laughter and tears. Everything was perfect, from the communication, quick turnaround and near 1000 shots of pure gold that we will treasure forever. We can’t thank / recommend Katia enough.

After searching tirelessly for a wedding photographer we finally found what we were looking for in Katia via Instagram. We have been following her for over a year before our wedding in August 2017. We fell in love with her pictures and they just looked like paintings. Her work stood out by a mile and we knew instantly that we wanted her as our wedding photographer. We wanted natural pictures during our wedding and found that Katia had the same feeling about wedding pictures so it didn’t take us long to decide what we wanted. Katia has always been excellent at communicating i.e. from sending us a quote to arranging flights, hotels and meeting up with us on the day. We felt that Katia really made the effort to get to know us and ensured that the photos of our wedding reflected our personalities which offered a really nice personal touch. Once Katia confirmed that she was available for all the three events i.e. Mehendi, Wedding and Reception we had a Skype call so we all could know each other better. She was very interested in our story, how we met, what we expected from our wedding and vice-versa. Katia straight away loved the idea of an open air wedding so that was a bonus! We shared the event location and she immediately started giving feedback in terms of flower décor for all the venues. These are invaluable feedback from photographers to get the perfect shot. We got her introduced to our wedding planners so they could co-ordinate. Once Katia arrived in the city for the event she was very easy to work with, as the events went on we got to know and understand each other better. For example, I am not good at posing or acting for pictures and she understood that very quickly so she would just tell me what to do, how to pose etc... During the event Katia always knew what to do and where to get the best shot of us and our guests. She is quiet and soft spoken and is genuinely down to earth person. Everyone loved her personality. She shot all the best expression during the events. Looking at the pictures now we are extremely happy with the results, we have amazing natural pictures of the guests and ourselves. Our pre-shoot was fun and for our wedding day she was almost invisible like a photographic ninja but captured the most precious moments. Her perception of events and ability to see things that others would miss is unique. One thing we have mention is that Katia simply knows what shot she wants based on location, lightings and etc. For example, our pre-wedding shoot was in a temple called Bhoga Nandeeshwara Temple which was located in the outskirts of Bangalore. There were times when we continued posing and she would have already taken her shots. She would then click more saying you both are really patient. Such is her charm. Everything was perfect, from the communication, quick turnaround and nearly 1200 plus shots of pure gold that we will treasure forever. Katia if you are reading this. We both hope you enjoyed our wedding as much as we enjoyed having you as our guest in Bangalore. Hope to meet you someday. Our special thank you to Ruby Singh, who was very patient whilst taking group pictures and an absolute gentleman. If you are looking for a wedding photographer then look no further than Katia and her team. Lots of Love and Best Wishes Oriane & Akash

After lot of conversations done by Yash with different photographers, guess we were lucky we found katia. <br /> One of the important aspects for our dream wedding was the photography as I am picture obsessed person. We did not wanted regular studio portraits and the pictures have come the way we imagined: very colourful, unique and something which brings us smile. Katia has great ideas and her sense of photography is very different and quirky if compared to regular candid wedding photography nowadays.<br /> We are much thankful we got best and mesmerising memories. <br /> <br /> In person Katia is very joyful and we loved her as a person. It was fun filled shooting, her way of communicating between the shots made us very comfortable and more emotional towards the photography which is very essential. In the nutshell we undoubtedly recommend her. Thank you Katia for the amazing and beautiful memory collector which we and our family will preserve for lifetime. You will be lifelong special for us ??

When our wedding was fixed first thing that came to my mind was I need an amazing photographer who would capture our wedding day with perfection. After talking to almost 35 photographers we choose Katia, we saw her profile and loved her work and the first time we talked to her we were convinced that she is the one who can get this done without have to tell her every little detail. She is very professional, talented photographer and always available for your questions and concerns. She has done a great work on our wedding photos. Thank you Katia. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and relatives.

Katia is such a wonderful person, as well as an fantastic photographer! Her style is quiet distinct and was visually attractive from the first time I came across her work on this website. Initially, I was unsure about the type of photography that I wanted, for all the important moments of our wedding to be captured, but as I saw her work I couldn't look further! :D Though I was concerned about my budget, Katia was accommodating and gave me all that I wanted :) I have just received all my photos and am very satisfied with both the quality, and the moments captured... Go for Katia, the most awesome wedding, candid photographer, living in India! Hemal & Aarti (South Africa)

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Katia. My husband (then fiance) and I hired her to do our pre-wedding shoot for us during our trip from the USA to India in November 2015. We planned the shoot in Agra and she met us there and spent the whole day with us, shooting in various parts of the city that she knew well. The day ended up being not only a photo shoot, but a memorable experience touring the city. The edited photos were delivered within days and were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. She was so pleasant and easy to work with, not to mention knowledgable and talented. I would recommend her highly to anyone - she provides unique, beautiful, artistic photos with soft lighting, as well as great memories.

<p>I came across Katia&#39;s work online and found it super refreshing, While I wasn&#39;t sure she would be interested in photographing an Indian wedding, it turned out she was very interested and even seemed to know more about customs than I did !!!! Loved her work !</p> <p><a href="http://www.wedmegood.com/real_wedding/detail/40"><span style="color:#EE82EE">Click here to view the wedding.</span></a></p> Source
