Genuine Gratitude from Real Couples

We are really happy with Ruchika’s photography. They were easy to work with and took lots of time to make sure our vision was realised. The pictures were well edited and are great quality with a mix of candids and photoshoots. They captured everything we asked for. And we will treasure these images forever. We really appreciated the personal touches that they did and how they went above and beyond to capture our day.

Would recommend Ruchika for any occasion.

We had such a wonderful experience with Ruchika and DJ for our pre-wedding shoot! From the very beginning, Ruchika made everything so easy and comfortable — from the initial planning to guiding us through poses and suggesting beautiful locations. She instantly made us feel comfortable, turning what could have been a stressful day into something truly enjoyable.

She paid attention to every little detail, made us feel completely at ease, and captured our chemistry so beautifully. We were so excited (and a little impatient, especially me!) waiting for the final photos — and when we finally saw them, we were absolutely blown away! Every picture was filled with warmth, love, and genuine emotion.

We’re beyond excited to share these beautiful memories with our loved ones and see them come alive on the big screen at our wedding!

Thank you so much, Ruchika, for giving us such precious keepsakes and for making this entire experience so special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better team!

Regards,
Saloni & Amey.

Ruchika and DJ were fantastic! They had great communication and were very organised. Me and my husband aren’t big on getting our photo’s taken and they made us feel comfortable and made the process feel very easy on our wedding day. The quality of the photo’s were amazing and we received them very quickly. Highly recommend Ruchika and DJ!

Honestly we’re so glad we had Ruchika and her husband DJ as our wedding photographers. From the first meeting, they made us feel so comfortable—it honestly felt like catching up with old friends. That made it so easy for them to understand what vision we have for our wedding day.

We had a 6 hour wedding coverage at Ohariu Farm, and while the weather didn’t exactly cooperate (it was very windy!), they just worked perfectly. Somehow, they turned the unexpected conditions into cinematic scenes and captured close-up shots that were not only beautiful, but also candid and full of emotion. Really, really impressive. For now, we’re just enjoying the photos and videos privately with our friends and family—they feel really special and close to our hearts.

Thank you so much, Ruchika and DJ, for making our day feel even more magical.

Absolutley amazing! Having A Wedding Story with Ruchika and DJ capture our wedding was just amazing! We were made to feel so comfortable at our pre wedding shoot it made the wedding photos so easy to do. Our wedding party even made comments about how fun it was getting the photos and how they really enjoyed the vibe. I was so happy with all our photos as well and really enjoyed having a get together to go through them. Made it all feel so personal and just made me feel the love that goes into the work. I will be recommending A Wedding Story to everyone!

We had a really good experience with Ruchika and DJ. They were very determined to make it work for us! The process was very well executed with an initial call to get comfortable with the team and help our vision come to life. We had DJ take our photos on the day and we’re really pleased with how it went! Highly recommend them 🙂

We got married at Aston Norwood and had A Wedding Story capture our special day last year. Honestly, we were both super shy and awkward in front of the camera — but Ruchika and DJ made everything feel so easy. Their vibe was just calm, kind, and full of positive energy. Loveee it!

They didn’t make us pose too much or feel like we had to be anything other than ourselves, just enjoying the day together. Most of the photos were candid and natural — WHICH IS THE BEST PART. And when we saw the final photos, we were blown away! We had no clue when some of those beautiful moments were even taken.

We absolutely love love love everything! The photos, the experience, the people — all of it. Thanks so much, Ruchika and DJ. Highly recommend them to any couple wanting their day captured in the most natural way. Love lots xo

Ruchika and Dinesh are absolutely an amazing couple to work with. With SO many choices when it came to finding a wedding photographer, the options seemed endless. I had a particular vision and style I wanted for our wedding and when I came across their website I was absolutely delighted by what I saw. My family and I immediately contacted her for inquiry and when we met up with her to discuss the wedding photography plans, we just adored her and immediately knew she was the right photographer for us. This is not just a job for Ruchika and her husband. You can tell this is a passion for them and that they truly enjoy what they are doing. They are kind, patient, and keep everything so light hearted and fun. I am no model, but they had an amazing way of helping you feel comfortable when it came to posing for photos. I would hands down choose Ruchika and her husband for all your photography needs. Thank you both for all the amazing work you are doing. So lucky to have come across you guys and feel so lucky to share our special day with you!

I stumbled across Ruchika Photography by browsing on the web and on Facebook! After sending an enquiry to Ruchika, she got back to me quick! She invited me to sit down and have a session with her to go over my plans, my vision and my budget! After seeing her work in her beautiful home, I was so captured by the way she creates a story for her clients. During the planning process Ruchika was amazing with supporting me with payment options, and even in a turnaround of events where she helped me look for places when my ceremony venue suddenly become unavailable.

Ruchika and her family became more like family to me coming closer to the time of the wedding, I knew my Wedding Media was in good hands with amazing people. My family and friends loved the way they were so kind, chill and respectful people.

I would like to thank the team at Ruchika Photography by being so amazing to work with, bringing the best vibes and just going with the island time, the island noise and dancing! Would recommend Ruchika Photography 10000000000%
