Radhika Photography - Brooklyn, New York

Lydia S.

I cannot recommend Radhika highly enough. Radhika photographed our destination wedding in Cape Cod in September 2012 and she was outstanding in every way. She was responsive and creative as we planned our event; patient, professional and unbelievably talented on the day of our wedding. Her peaceful, unobtrusive presence put us at ease and she made sure that we (and our guests) looked the very best version of ourselves, both candid and posed. Her photos bring the story of our weekend back to life; they really capture the emotions, beauty and special moments – even some we weren’t aware of at the time. Months later, her pictures still take my breath away.

Picking someone to capture our wedding was a difficult process: most of the photographers we spoke to had nice photographs, friendly personalities and polished sales pitches and there was no easy way to tell them apart. I turned to Radhika, an old friend, for advice. I knew her to be an award-winning international photojournalist and wedding photographer, but I didn’t want her to have to “work my wedding”; I wanted her to be our guest and enjoy the festivities. In the end, though, I was swayed by her photojournalistic approach, her beautiful portfolio and the fact that she really understood me and what I wanted. She agreed to work with another photographer that we hired so that she could still have fun at the party.

Radhika is the best. She brought so much to the planning process and to the wedding day itself - she made everything so easy and hassle-free. She helped us think about our schedule so that we could get the photographs we wanted without missing out on the party and our guests. She showed us examples of decorations/lighting that would enhance the reception photographs. She was undaunted by the high noon sunlight that concerned other photographers we spoke to, and she used it to create the most beautifully lit photographs I have ever seen. Some of my favorites were from the very end of the night when we lit sparklers on the bay – not only was Radhika still there to capture the moment, but she did something incredible with the light that I just haven’t seen before. She was even willing to get up before dawn to photograph us dressed up at sunrise on the beach. If you notice the difference that great natural light makes to a morning or afternoon, you should work with Radhika – she really knows how to capture any light to take amazing photographs.

I never imagined that our photos could look so good. We are so grateful that Radhika was able to work with us.
