03 / About me

Meet your photographer.

I started out photographing wildlife about two years ago, and I still head out with my camera whenever I can.

Since then I've photographed weddings, engagements, proposals, maternity sessions, graduations and families. Many have been Nepali and Indian celebrations, including Chhewar and Gunyu Cholo, so I know the traditions well. Everyone is welcome, whatever you're celebrating.

I work on my own, with professional gear, and I keep my prices affordable.

04 / Kind words

“Prakash is truly one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. He has a wonderful talent for making you feel at ease, and because of that, the photos come out looking genuine, natural, and full of energy.”

Nothing ever feels posed he just knows how to catch those real, meaningful moments. If you live in Harrisburg or the surrounding areas, I highly recommend Prakash bhai. He’s not just a skilled photographer, but also a genuinely great person.

My promise to you

Edits you can change

Plenty of photographers edit your photos and call it a day. If an edit isn't what you pictured, tell me, and I'll keep working on it until it is.

Above and beyond

For one client's proposal, I spent a month learning to film so he could have it on video too. Photography is my craft, but I'll go a long way to get your day right.

Open to everyone

Most of my work so far has been Nepali and Indian celebrations, and I love them. Graduations, couples, families and birthdays are just as welcome.

06 / How it works

How booking works.

  1. 01

    Get in touch

    Send your date and a few details through the form or on Instagram. I reply personally, by text or email, usually within 24 to 48 hours.

  2. 02

    Talk it through

    By text or a quick call, we go over what you have in mind, the timing and the location, and I answer your questions.

  3. 03

    Confirm the date

    We agree on the details and the price, and your date is set. Weddings are held with a 25% deposit, which is not refunded if you cancel. Sessions and events need no deposit.

  4. 04

    Get your photos

    I photograph the day. Payment is due after the shoot, and then I edit every photo. They usually arrive within about a week in a private online gallery, and I'll rework any edit you'd like changed.

07 / Questions

Before you ask.

Don't see yours? Just write. No question is too small.

How many photos will we receive?

It depends on how long the shoot is and what happens on the day, so I don't promise a fixed number. You'll receive every good photo, each one edited by me, and I never pad a gallery with near-duplicates. Ask, and I'll give you a realistic range for your shoot.

Do you photograph Nepali and Indian ceremonies?

Yes. They're most of what I've photographed so far: weddings, engagements, Chhewar and Gunyu Cholo. Mehendi, haldi, sangeet, the ceremony and the reception: we'll walk through your family's traditions on a planning call, so nothing important is missed.

Do you only photograph South Asian events?

Not at all. Graduations, couples, proposals, maternity, families, birthdays: if it matters to you, I'd be glad to photograph it.

What if I don't love an edit?

Tell me. If you'd like a photo warmer, brighter, moodier or closer to a look you have in mind, I'll rework it. I'd rather spend the extra time than have you settle.

Is it just you?

Yes. I work on my own, so the person you message is the person who photographs your day and edits your photos.

We're awkward in front of the camera. Can you help?

Almost everyone says this. I give gentle prompts rather than stiff poses, and most couples forget the camera within minutes. An engagement session is a good warm-up, too.

When will we get our photos?

Usually within about a week. Bigger shoots, or a busy stretch, can take a little longer, and I'll tell you what to expect before you book.

How do we get our photos?

Through a private online gallery. I send you the link and a password, and you download whichever photos you want.

Do you offer video?

Not at the moment. Right now I offer photography only. Video is something I'm still learning, and I hope to add it later.

When are you available?

I photograph on Saturdays and Sundays. If your date falls on a weekday and it really matters, reach out a couple of months ahead and I'll do my best to make it work.

Do you travel?

I'm based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and travel within about an hour is included in every price. Further than that? Ask, and we'll work it out.

How do we reserve our date?

Send an inquiry and I'll get in touch personally, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Once we've agreed on the details and the price, your date is set. For weddings, a 25% deposit holds the date.

Is there a deposit? When do we pay?

For sessions and events, there's no deposit and nothing to pay up front. Payment is due in full after the shoot, before I start editing your photos.

For weddings, a 25% deposit holds your date and counts toward your total. If you cancel, the deposit is not refunded. The rest is due after the wedding, before I start editing.

I take cash, Cash App and Apple Pay.

What if it rains?

We reschedule. If it's pouring on the day of an outdoor shoot, we move it to another date that works for both of us.

08 / Book a date

Tell me about your day.

Share your date and a few details. I'll get back to you personally, by text or email, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Or message me on Instagram.
