The love that was turned into pictures in less than 24 hours after the wedding.

My deepest gratitude to this beautiful couple who placed so much faith in me—from their engagement all the way to their wedding day. It has been such an incredible journey capturing their love.

It’s truly a blessing to meet couples like Erin & Tyler—so calm, so organized, and so trusting of the people they bring into their lives.

Congratulations, Erin & Tyler—it’s the beginning of a beautiful new chapter.

If you really know me, you know my first love was always cinema. I grew up finding comfort in stories — in love, chaos, betrayal, friendship — because real life didn’t always feel as kind.

And after years of soul searching, of feeling a little lost in places I didn’t belong — I heard my calling. It came late, maybe by society’s standards, but it came with thunder. I didn’t have a film school degree. I didn’t know how to technically hold a camera. But in 2020, I picked one up anyway. That was the beginning of everything.

It would be unfair to say I only wanted to capture “happy moments.” What I truly wanted — was to hold onto the kind of happiness that saves you. The kind that heals you — the tears that fall from joy, the smiles that break through pain, the laughter that echoes through lifetimes. That’s what I wanted to chase. Because that’s what made my world feel whole.

It’s 2025 now, and I’m doing what I was born to do — telling love stories, especially Asian weddings that are loud, colorful, emotional, and rooted in culture.

I’m one of the few Indian photographers in San Diego, and I bring with me not just my camera — but my languages, my culture, and my whole heart.

So if you let me, I promise to give you more than just photographs. I promise to give you an experience that lingers long after the day is over — maybe even long after we’re gone.

And I’m not doing this alone. I’ve teamed up with the best — the incredible wedding coordinator sonyapangali and the talented videographer itsnickpowers . Together, we are here to hold space for your story.

Welcome to House of Kala by Pauleen — where art meets heart. Where your story becomes eternal.

and we,

She cried the sweetest tears that night—
Her family and his had learned to dance,
To her favorite song, a surprise just for her,
And they brought it out on the Sangeet floor.

The joy in her eyes, the dimple on her chin,
Laughter and love poured from deep within.
She couldn’t stop smiling, couldn’t stop crying—
It was pure magic, no denying.

That’s the beauty of a Sangeet, you see,
Hearts wide open, dancing free.
And lucky me, I get to freeze it in time—
One photo at a time, one frame, one rhyme.

Having a wedding at the iconic Hotel del Coronado is truly the stuff dreams are made of. This San Diego gem offers everything—golden sunsets, ocean views, timeless architecture, and that perfect mix of indoor elegance and outdoor charm.

As a photographer, it’s places like this that make my heart skip a beat. Every moment here felt straight out of a fairytale, and I felt so lucky to capture the love, beauty, and celebration that unfolded.

A huge thank you to Sonya sdepc.me for being the most thoughtful and talented coordinator, and to the incredible decor team for creating such a breathtaking setting tbdsandiego 

And to Anu and Joe—what can I even say? You both looked absolutely radiant. It was such a joy capturing your chemistry and connection.
thank you for being my perfect muse 🤍 good.humaine joe.shoulders

This amazing couple flew in all the way from Houston to San Diego—and I’m so glad I got to capture their big weekend! 🌴✨
Desi weddings in San Diego are getting grander by the day—it’s officially turning into a destination hotspot! From haldis to sangeets to pheras, it’s now a full-blown 2–3 day celebration.

Here they are on their vibrant sangeet day… and guess how long they gave me for portraits? 8 minutes. EIGHT. MINUTES.
I swear, I think couples believe I’m a magician 🤣😂🤣😂

Introducing the newly minted Mr. & Mrs.—stealing hearts and sprinting through timelines! 💛🎉

If only I could call every client before their shoot and tell them—
Wear this color.
Go for this makeup look.
Style your hair like this.

Because when all of that comes together, the photos turn out THIS perfect. Just like this gorgeous couple right here—exactly how I imagined it in my head!

So if you’re a future client:
Trust your photographer.
We’ve got the vision—you might not see it yet, but you’ll feel it when you see the photos.

LA is an hour and a half away and yes, I hate the traffic…
BUT I love love shooting there!

There’s just something about LA couples — they’re so into the photos and totally down to follow creative direction. Makes my job a dream.

Also… the food?? OMG. If you know me, you know I usually avoid eating at weddings. But this one? I ate like a real human. No shame.

Shot this beauty for the wonderful mkeshoots — thank you for having me!

This session was incredibly special. I was genuinely amazed by her strength and energy. I had the honor of capturing their wedding, and now their maternity session—and I guess this is how a photographer becomes part of a family’s journey.

She’s just days away from welcoming her baby, yet she made a two-hour drive, hiked through a wildflower valley—and she wasn’t even wearing flats! By the end of the session, I was the one who was tired, but she was still going strong. The power of women, I tell you.

Her favorite color is yellow, so I found the perfect golden field just for her. These moments are the kind I’ll never forget.

2017 to 2025… who is she?!
From luscious hair to… “ma’am, is this breakage or layers?”
From glowing skin to “wait, when did this wrinkle move in?”
From heels and sass to sneakers and back pain like it’s a personality trait.
From thinking carbs were the enemy to now being the carb.

But through all the changes—face, body, style, and sanity—one thing’s stayed strong:
The fire to be someone great and do something that matters.
Still here. Still dreaming. Still figuring it out—just with more under-eye cream and way less hair.

Swipe through this transformation and laugh with me. Aging is wild.

Taking pictures, for me, is like stepping into another world—a place where time stands still, and all my worries, pain, and even my own existence fade away. In that moment, nothing matters except the connection between the person in front of the lens and the one behind it. A photograph isn’t just an image; it’s a relationship, a silent conversation, a fleeting second frozen forever in time.

Some master this craft through years of study, perfecting every technique. Others, like me, simply feel it, capturing emotions instinctively without knowing all the rules. But building a career in photography—that’s where the real challenge begins. In a world overflowing with talent, being seen, being chosen, is never easy.

I can only hope that those who cross paths with me, those who trust me with their memories, will see photography through my eyes. That they’ll recognize the passion, the light, and the joy I pour into every frame. Because there’s nowhere I’d rather be than behind the camera, creating the perfect moment for you—one that will last a lifetime.

In the last three years, I’ve shot so many Desi weddings, but this one? This one holds a special place in my heart. Why? Because it’s always the people that make a wedding truly unforgettable.

Kind, patient, and incredibly generous—this couple made every moment feel effortless. Creating the perfect portrait takes time, trust, and teamwork. It’s never just the photographer; it’s the magic that happens when both the couple and I work together, step by step, frame by frame.

And this? This feels like my best shot ever. Not just because of the lighting, the angles, or the setting—but because when you work with amazing people, everything just falls into place beautifully.
