Nirav photographed our wedding, and let me tell you.. the images and memories he captured are incredible. Completely timeless, elegant, and fun. The entire experience was a breeze....
Throughout the night we did not even notice he was there, he was in the shadows capturing perfect moments! He delivered the photos and memorabilia in an extremely timely manner. Thank you Nirav!
We had to move our wedding location from India to LA due to Covid and were scrambling to get things in order. We hired Indian Wedding Snap's team to cover our wedding event couple ...
of days before the event. Even on such short notice, Nirav and his team were amazing at the location and great to work with.
We were so impressed with their work, we decided to get them cover our reception in bay area. Nirav and Richard's energy was spot-on and captured our wedding beautifully. Highly recommend Indian Wedding Snap! :)
Nirav will exceed your expectations in every way. While I felt confident that he would produce amazing images just from his Instagram, I wasn’t prepared for how much and how quickl...
y we would both like and trust him. He basically became a member of our family during our 5 days of wedding events.
He was always ready to jump in and problem solve for us; at times acting as our hype-man, keeping our energy up during the shoots; our day-of-planner, helping us adjust to a first look at the last minute; our sense of humor, capturing some classically frantic moments that are inevitable during a wedding.
Honestly, he was a literal hero, he even caught my elderly father from experiencing a bad fall!
He captured our guests, both human and canine, at their most flattering angles. He scouted nearby places to shoot that would fit the themes of both our Indian and Western ceremonies and he and his videographer shot and prepared awesome highlight videos set to music.
Lastly, he hooked us up with beautiful albums for both sets of parents and guided us in picking a memorable album of our own. We struggled with decision making; he was patient and supportive while also keeping us accountable to getting it done and making it special and unique. While we almost phoned in our album design, his gentle persuading to think again led us to the super deluxe album with the brushed metal finish on the cover which ended up making my golden gown look exactly as it does in real-life! He hand delivered it to our home along with our images on a beautiful unique jump drive and a ton of 5x7 prints in a special box that are ready to go right into collage frames for our walls.
The decision to use Indian Wedding Snap was the best one we made! If I had to, I would have switched our venue before switching our photographer. Nirav has given us timeless images that capture all the effort, intention and love we hoped to show which we will be proud to share with family and friends for generations.
Book Nirav!
Nirav and his crew were very accommodating. They came to my home and blended in with my family within minutes. They made themselves known to my guests and made everyone feel very...
comfortable about having their pictures taken. As any wedding there were a few hiccups but Nirav and his crew were able to get through it and make it happen for me.
Nirav is extremely talented, professional and very passionate about his work. We had our best experience on our wedding . He is perfect from start to finish, very fun and super com...
fortable to work with. He made everyone around him feel comfortable and captured every special moment of our large family. We were absolutely thrilled with the results. He delivered everything on time and much more of what he promised. Photo prints are amazing and very classy. He picked some wonderful location's for our couple shoot and very great at making us comfortable infront of the camera, as me and my husband are really shy and the pictures turned out very beautiful. Would highly recommend Nirav to friends and family and would love to work with him again!!
Indian Wedding Snap - “Nirav Solanki” made me and my husband feel so comfortable on our Pre Wedding Shoot, Shagun Cermony, Wedding days(Sikh and Hindu), ‘Comfortable’ because we kn...
ew that he would not only get the job done (punctual, professional, great quality) but comfortable in the sense that we were working with true artist.
We always felt freedom because he wanted what we wanted. We feel like it is rare today to find professionals with true heart and talent behind every inch of their work. Nirav is amazing to work with - he captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that we will cherish forever. We’ll never go anywhere else after experiencing what he can do.
So we had a 70 person wedding in my fathers backyard and hired Nirav as our photographer. He had the most competitive pricing! Nirav is super friendly and creative. My wedding thro...
ugh the crazy weather change and unexpected shift was shot beautifully. I had hired him for two days for videography and photography. Honestly my wingman through both events. He is super quick with the photos and is invested in what you as the couple want. And if you don’t know, then Nirav is an excellent guide. He has knowledge of the different Ceremonies and captures key elements craftfully. We ordered our album and it was delivered within two days. And it was gorgeous! Nirav has an eye for taking photos for print. We received wall art from Nirav as well and let me tell you how stunning his photograph of husband and I look blown up. Richard is also a gem of a human being! He caught our moments on video and did it well! Nothing but love for the duo !
The most obvious element that turned our big day into a remarkable journey was Nirav’s ingenuity. His work was ‘a-flawlessly-done-superb-job’. It was a pure pleasure to have our we...
dding event covered by him and his associate. Our Album, pictures and the cinematic highlight was beyond perfect. Everybody fully enjoyed and admired the way he brilliantly captured and artistically etched every single moment into a perfect memory. Also, this guy’s amiable way of addressing his clients’ needs and wishes to a T makes him the best man to do the job. Would definitely love to work with him again.
Nirav is very professional and creative when it comes to taking pictures. His team is very prompt and patient.

gs I’ve done in a long time. So many moving parts and nothing really finalized in till the last minute, I really never had to worry about the photos at all. Nirav walked me through the process, told me what I needed to worry about and everything else he took care of without prompting or hesitation. He allowed me to focus on my wedding, then told a beautiful story of the things I was not able to see through his photos.
Nirav is an excellent choice for a photographer. I searched all over the place for the right photographer for our wedding and found him to be the best. He was flexible on our needs...

capturing something between our guests. After seeing his photos, we got to see how much fun was being had by our guests, even when we were not with them. Throughout the day, Nirav stressed that we all should be having fun, especially with the wedding party ahead of the wedding itself. He helped us all loosen up and have a great time. Lastly, Nirav perfectly captured our wedding day the way we remembered it so we can enjoy it forever.
I am writing this a guest at a wedding we attended. He was everywhere taking pictures of all the festivities. As a guest he was always making sure he was catching all the joy and f...
un we were sharing in and taking pictures of all the big moments. At one point in the evening he approached me to let me know my toddler had been posing and he wanted to share those photos with me. I just received those images and man oh man not only did he capture the wedding in such spectacular beauty, he also got some amazing shots of a suit clad squirmy toddler. I highly recommend if you want someone to capture your whole wedding experience.

re him. He takes amazing photos of all types and styles. We were so lucky to have him at our wedding! He gave us some very creative direction to make our photos more than just the generic, run of the mill wedding style. He got us involved and moving around. We truly made the most use out of the different spaces at our venue. He was very professional and also quite helpful with our family and friends. He was always on the go which definitely shows in the photos, he captured practically everything and everyone. Nirav did his best to be sure to include everyone who attended so it really made our album special to see all of our guests in the photos. The end product blew us all away! Such craftsmanship in his detailed work and excellent turn around. We received the photos within 48 hours or less, I would say. We are so blessed that Nirav captured unforgettable and candid moments at our wedding and reception. Thank you, Nirav, for you hard work and professionalism. We loved all of the images and will be sure to recommend you to our friends and family!

We first met Nirav while he was photographing our friend's wedding in the spring. Our wedding was beginning of the summer and our primary photographer that we booked last year had...
a family emergency and could not make it. Luckily, we were able to see our friend's photos on time and Nirav was available to capture our beautiful day! He surpassed our expectations when it came to delivery and the beautiful album that he created. Everything went well and stress-free from beginning to end. I would highly recommend him! We've already considered his services for our first born!!

was always looking out for creative moments to achieve the perfect shot. Our wedding was not a "traditional" wedding, as we are two women and I didn't want a lot of the standard wedding shots, Nirav thought outside the box and came up with some fantastic moments. We received the proofs quickly and the finished product shortly after. The pictures he took captured our day just like we envisioned! We highly recommend Nirav! He made us feel completely comfortable.

I had my wedding back in October of 2016 and all I can say is that I only remember how chaotic it was. On this crazy day, the only vendor that truly shines was Nirav. I am so grate...
ful that he was our photographer!
Being the nit-picky person that I am, I find it hard to give praises. However, Nirav truly deserves a standing ovation for his dedication, talent, passion, and professionalism from the beginning to the end. Believe me when I say that he is like the unicorn of photographers! I really couldn't thank him enough!
We’re lucky we found Nirav Solanki who photographed our 1960s wedding reception at Monte de Oro winery in Temecula. He listened to my request and captured a range of shots: landsca...
