Just like anybody else, I have a variety of guilty pleasures like watching too many reruns of supernatural, hoarding cookies for midnight snacks and eating wayyy too many Christmas tree cakes and all the unhealthy things one shouldn’t but I mean what is life without midnight snacks.. I also firmly believe that life is way too short to fold all your laundry. And although I try to deny it, I am a hopeless romantic & love me a romantic scene. That's probably why I love weddings so much!
In my twenties, I had this fantasy of living in a city like London or Paris, just hanging out at a cute little cafe sitting under one of those cute umbrellas and drinking fancy coffee or wine! Now in my thirties, I just dream about sitting on my couch and binge-watching FRIENDS all day and maybe drinking cheap beer lol! But I would much rather be sitting with you in a cozy cafe stuffing my face with a delicious cinnamon roll while we get to know each other better (Click here to set that up). For now, here is a peek of the girl behind the camera!
BORN AND RAISED IN INDIA, I CALL GEORGIA MY HOME WHERE MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH MADNESS, A “FULL-ER” HOUSE (3 DOGS, 3 CATS, 3 BUNNIES, 1 KID, AND THE HUSBAND) AND LOTS OF LOUDNESS & LAUGHTER BUT I AM CONSTANTLY DREAMING ABOUT BLUE MEDITERRANEAN SEA WATERS & TIRAMISU (WINK WINK* ITALY)!
It's me ruzin
About Me
hey friend
(pronounced as R-oo-z-ee-n)
Your love is all the romantic Taylor Swift lyrics put together..
I don’t want to convince you to believe that my photos of you will evoke emotion and make you cry and blah blah…I can say all of the big words that sound pretty and awes you but that’s not me. I want you to feel them for yourself! The thing is anyone can take a pretty picture but not everyone can give them the ability to come alive ….. not everyone can give you a photo that when you look at it, you can feel it and relive it and it sets your soul on fire, gives you that feeling of the first time you told your person you loved them, like you can almost hear the laughter through the photos and reminds you of the way your heart beats fast when your person looks at you. I want you to see my work and be obsessed with it and keep coming back because it makes you feel something!
Wedding days go by too fast and you are rarely able to stop, slow down and appreciate the details that compose your day and realize just how surrounded by magic and love you truly are: the moment you step into your dress, the anticipation you feel right before seeing each other, the sparkle in your love's eye when he sees you walking down the aisle, the butterflies in your belly right before your first kiss and knowing that in just a matter of minutes you will be husband & wife. I want to capture all that magic for you! I want to give you more than photos. I want to do more than just sneak you away for 5 minutes & pose you for photos. I want to give you time to stop breathe and take it all in and appreciate your time with each other and your wedding day. Trust me when I say, it goes by too too fast. I want to give you moments. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely get those romantic bridal photos that make you look like you should be in a magazine but I want prioritize those once in a lifetime moments …the one’s that you forgot about in the blur of a day and the moments you never want to forget so that so that when you look at these amazing photos 25 or 50 years down the line, you can remember how happy you were when you made your vows to each other. You will be able to relive all the moments and feel the butterflies come alive again!
I want to capture all your in-between moments, your littlest wedding day details that you worked on so hard to put together, the laughter & tears on your loved ones faces as they celebrate you & with you, those are my favorite. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want you to like me and I damn want to make sure you are comfortable. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your people, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw story. So if you are down to have a professional third wheel, then drop me a line, and let’s make something beautiful together. And if you love Harry Potter, well then that’s a bonus! For now, check out more of my work... 👉🏽

You deserve more than some cookie cutter wedding photos!
I have always been creative since the day I could hold a chalk in my hands (yes, chalk!! That’s what we used to learn to write in India back in the day lol) so it was a no-brainer when I found photography. As a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was passing my time flipping through old photo books of birthdays, vacations and other memories we created with extended family I am super close with . I’d take those books filled with old images lines in cellophane out of the drawers of my old closet and make myself comfortable on my childhood bed. My brother & I would sit there, reminisce, laugh & bring those photos to life through the memories. Relationships are the most important things to me. The love & the memories we share with people are worth documenting. Your wild, messy & imperfect love deserves to be documented.
I want to capture the moments that when you look at your photos, all of the feels come back with them. The photo of your mom smiling proudly as she sees you in your dress for the first time, the photo of your dad with a tear rolling down his cheek as he gives you away, of your boo nervously playing with his/her hands right before they are about to see you for the first time & the exchanged smiles and celebrations after being pronounced married. I want to celebrate the love, laughter & the realness of your story. I will always encourage you to be COMPLETELY YOU no matter what that looks like.
my why
Every couple I have ever photographed has said these things. Being photographed is uncomfortable, for me as well. Don't worry, I gotchu though!! I want to be your friend & get to know you so that when we finally hang out, you can feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Working with me will look something like running a lot all over the place, spinning till it makes you dizzy, and just being your wild, goofy, imperfect self! You will cuddle a lot, frolic around & say inappropriate things to each other that make you laugh your butt off. My #1 PRIORITY is that you and your boo feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am not here to change who you are. I don’t want to match an awkward pose off of Pinterest, what I want is for your personality to shine through your images. I have learned that every couple already knows how to pose. You have already found the nooks on each other's bodies where you naturally fall into when you hug or snuggle, you have a certain way you lean into each other when you sit and a particular way you hold hands & connect with each other in your own way. I pay attention to your favorite way of interacting with each other & I rely on your natural chemistry that lets me pose you guys genuinely. Each couple is different and I want to show that. There is something so beautiful about the way you hold each other’s hands, the way you make each other laugh and how your boo looks at you. I want to capture those beautiful somethings. I want to capture the butterflies & the sparks. I want to be there for all those somethings; planned, unplanned and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! I AM HERE TO TELL THE WORLD HOW MADLY IN LOVE YOU ARE, AND ALL THE SPECIAL MOMENTS THAT GOT YOU THERE.
"My fiance hates taking photos!
We are so awkward in photos!
What do we do with our hands?
I am afraid I won't look good in photos."
Does this sound like you?
believe me, All of these couples said those things as well...SERIOUSLY!!!

This is me, the girl behind the camera. I am an introvert. I am super awkward with small talk and hate talking on the phone. Although I dry to deny it, I am a hopeless romantic and love me a good romantic scene. That’s probably why I love weddings so much. And just like a through and through Libra, I am indecisive as hell so don’t ask me to pick a restaurant (my husband hates me for this). So basically what I am saying is, let’s get to know each other. Let’s go out and share a couple beers or coffees and some laughs before anything else. If you love to laugh, are sarcastic as hell, enjoy inappropriate jokes because I make a lot of them, are not afraid to let loose and be weird, value good photography and trust me completely to deliver them beautiful moments from their beautiful day then we will instantly be bffs. And you also must love F.R.I.E.N.D.S so I can send you GIFs but don’t worry if you don’t either coz I am sure we will find something else in common to obsess over.. So ditch the pinterest perfect and someone else’s expectation of YOUR day! Let’s be real! Be yourself! Bold, weird, fucking beautiful & wildly in love. And let's make photos that feel like you!
