Our Story

We Photograph What Matters Most

Photopitaraa was built on a single belief: that every wedding holds moments of such private, particular beauty that they deserve a photographer who is genuinely paying attention.

Kartik Patidar — Founder of Photo Pitaraa
The Founder

Hi, I'm Kartik.

I picked up a camera at nineteen because I was afraid of forgetting things. The feeling of a particular afternoon, the way my grandmother laughed, the light in the kitchen at six o'clock. I didn't want to lose any of it.

Fifteen years later, I lead a team of six people who share the same quiet obsession. We show up to weddings not as vendors, but as witnesses. We pay attention the way family pays attention — with love, with stakes, with the knowledge that some moments only happen once.

Photopitaraa is the studio I needed when I got married and couldn't find. Everything we do is built around the question: if these were my photographs, would I be proud?

Our Journey

Eight Years in the Making

Every milestone was earned — one wedding, one story, one trusted couple at a time.

2016

Studio Founded

Photopitaraa opens its doors in Indore — a one-person operation with one camera and a deep belief that wedding photography could be something more.

First Award

Recognised at the India Wedding Industry Awards as Best Wedding Photographer of the Year. The first of twelve.

2020

100th Wedding

We photograph our 100th wedding — a quiet destination event in Coorg — and release our first cinematic film to 200,000 YouTube views.

2022

Studio Expansion

The team grows to six: two lead photographers, two cinematographers, and two editors. Every couple still gets personal, dedicated attention.

2024

500+ Weddings

Half a thousand love stories captured. We celebrate quietly, because the work is the celebration.

The Team

The People Behind the Lens

Small by design. Every member of the Photopitaraa team has been chosen for obsession, not just skill.
