Photo Tantra completely believes in this quote by Dr.Seuss . It is this belief that made us become wedding photographers. We try to create memories for you by staying connected with the moments which matter to you the most and this connection is possible only when someone is invested in you entirely.
In today's age of Google when everything is just a search away, it is not difficult to find out about the person whom we are supposed to photograph. But what is not available on Google search is the person not the persona that he or she really is. We are interested in the person that you are and invested in your wedding like a friend.
Phototantra was started and is headed by us (Vinayak Das and Snigdha Sheel) since early 2009. We are perhaps the first husband and wife photography team in India to start shooting Indian weddings in a photo-journalistic style. We started shooting weddings for the love of photography, travelling, meeting new people, getting to know their culture and food. For us weddings are a great way to learn about society, human behaviour and culture.
We became the first wedding photographers from India whose images were featured in the People magazine (US edition March 2012). Our photo story of The Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar and former Miss India Neha Kapoor's wedding was featured as a multi page photo spread. Our work was subsequently published in the "Who" magazine in Australia. Our photos from the wedding were also showcased in Ellen Degeneres and Conan O'Brien show.
Our work on candid wedding photography has been featured in many magazines and publications including Vogue, Conde Nast, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Femina, Wedding Vows, Smart Photogrpahy, Indian Express, Bangalore Mirror, Brown Paper Bag, Wedding Sutra, Deccan Chronicle, The Telegraph, Maharani Weddings, South Asian Bride magazine to name a few.
We believe in capturing the memories and moments of your biggest day with love, empathy and understanding of your sensibilities. Whether you're in search of an unobtrusive, candid style, photojournalistic story telling or an alluring portrait in your bridal fineries, we are here to photograph all that which makes you happy on the day of your wedding. Let’s keep it simple, happy and let's make your wedding stress free .
Our photography style and wedding films are a mix of photojournalism, visual story telling and glamour.

We live in New Delhi with our 3 dogs and 2 kids. As people we love to travel and get excited over just about anything. We both love dogs, our whole family has pledged their organs, We love food, movies, music, books but nothing beats a heartwarming conversation and a good laughter with friends. We love everything that makes up for white picket fences, a fire place and an old dog to cuddle with, good wine and horror movies. Strange combination but that is what makes it fun.
We live in New Delhi with our 2 kids and 3 dogs. One of dogs is blind. As people we both love dogs, love to travel and get excited over just about anything, we love to watch movies, love food, we love engaging in a heart warming conversation and laughter which is why perhaps we are drawn to similar people at weddings and end up making new friends at every shoot.
