Anand Rathi started "Reels and frames" about 6 years ago and have captured more than 200 weddings since. He describes his photography style as a mix of photojournalism and beauty shots.

So, it is a blend of technicalities, composing, perfect angles, ideas, poses and the insight into a particular subject or story that you want to highlight. Anand and his team are all about shooting it like 'friends first, photographer second'. The best part? They don't have a fixed package, they are happy to customize a quote for each of their clients.
