About the studio
Kochadai, Madurai · Est. 2016
The short version
We started in 2016 photographing friends' weddings on one borrowed lens. Today we're a team of five, but the approach hasn't changed: arrive early, learn the family's names, stay out of the priest's way, and notice the small things. The grandmother fixing a jasmine string. The groom's nervous laugh before the thaali. Those are the frames people come back to in twenty years.
