From Aki and Sabi: This pop up wedding was the joining of two people whose lives were already intertwined. We couldn’t be more different, and yet we somehow managed to create a perfect day full of love and fun! One of our favorite elements was the venue. The light-filled, wood-and-glass sanctuary tucked amongst the trees […]
Kate and Matt found each other through a chance encounter at a bar. After a few years of back and forth, and Matt battling cancer and surviving it, they were able to move toward their happily ever after. When Kate contacted me for a couples session, I was intrigued as it was not a typical […]
It’s not everyday that you get a call to photograph a San Francisco Dive Bar Wedding. I am always up for a challenge and to do something a little different in today’s world of highly stylized weddings. Don’t get me wrong, I love classic weddings and glamor, but the most important thing to me is […]

Am finally, blogging this delightful engagement shoot done back in April. It was photographed in Mumbai in a neighborhood close to where my parent’s live. There is something magical about Old World Mumbai. Sadly, that world is slowly disappearing amidst new construction and skyscrapers. Whenever, I go back to Mumbai, I try to document something […]
I have seen these photos somewhere-perhaps on facebook and I love them more each time I see them.
This is so perfectly Bombay and the couple does full justice to the photos. Love how she is wearing a black sari. So subtle and gorgeous.

When Cindy contacted me for their engagement photos, she had some some favorite San Francisco spots in mind that held special memories for both of them. We started out at City Hall and made our way across to the South Beach area by the Bay Bridge. As the sun came down the city lights made […]

Steve - Genuine smiles are the best!
Great session Alpana!
Danielle - I am always so uplifted by hearing triumphant stories of couples who encountered hardship. Love and marriage is never a promise of perfection, in fact it is typically a guarantee there will be suffering but the beauty and truth that manifests within that suffering, amidst the pain, is what makes it all worth it. Gosh these words and these images shake me to my core. So beautifully done Alpha! Bravo
Danielle - Sorry for the typo Alpana;)
Lindsay Madden - Wow. Seriously, stunning!
Kel Ward - Wow, these images are stunning!! What a gorgeous couple (and I’m obsessed with her freckles).

melanie - these are so perfect!! i love the way you capture portraits!
