From leaving behind a corporate desk to documenting over 500 weddings across 15 countries, Abhishek Behani has built Jodi Clickers into one of India’s most sought-after wedding photography and filmmaking teams.

We’re also loving motion blur and slow-shutter techniques for the energy and romance they bring to Indian weddings. What are the biggest wedding photography trends you’re seeing in 2025?Couples are leaning towards personal, documentary style storytelling capturing glances, laughter, and unscripted moments. Editorial-style portraits with cinematic framing and natural light are trending, creating timeless, magazine-worthy images.
