Nirav Patel

Nirav Patel became a photographer for a simple reason. Photographs are among the most valuable things he owns. To him, they are far more than paper and ink. They are fragments of time, holding the weight of memories, emotions, and fleeting moments that might otherwise be lost. A single image has the power to transport, allowing people to relive the moments that shaped them or experience stories they were never a part of. That profound connection to memory and storytelling is what drew him into photography and continues to drive his work today.

As a multidisciplinary artist, Nirav brings an expert understanding of editorial, photojournalism, and fine art photography to his wedding work. This unique blend allows him to document a wedding day with depth, balancing storytelling with a refined and artful aesthetic. His work has been featured in Vogue and he has been recognized as one of the top photographers in the US and California by THE WED. But beyond accolades, what matters most to Nirav is crafting something meaningful for the couples he works with. He does not seek to fit their story into a formulaic template. Instead, he approaches each wedding with the intention of creating an honest and artful reflection of who they are as individuals, as a couple, and as part of a community bound by love.
