"When Kunal and I decided to get married in January of 2015 we knew it was going to be a very intimate affair with just three functions - a mehendi, the wedding itself and an evening reception with 100 of our nearest and dearest. It was a few days prior to the big day when we stumbled across our friends’ Juhi and Mike’s wedding video on social media. It was to say the least, stunning. The visuals, the music, the absence of intrusion on the part of the videographers, the ease and flow of the edit. The usual perception of a wedding video is a two hour long boring saga that you are subjected to viewing by the misfortune of being close to the couple - this was a two minute breath of fresh air. 

We had not thought of a wedding video until that moment but after seeing that piece we had to track and lock down the makers, the Lightsmiths. I was amazed to see it was a team of two, a perfectly proficient pair Vibhuti and Rahul.

They took the time to understand our vision, to get to know the people we needed to feature in the video, they were punctual, respectful and unintrusive - the latter being especially tough given the wedding only had 30 guests! They worked hard on the edit creating three cuts of different lengths for us. We were married in our living room and when you see the video it captures the simplicity and the intimacy, the formality and solemnity, the nervousness and anxiety, the celebration of our union, and the us-ness of us! Years later when I see the video I am immediately taken back to the place, the time and what I felt...thank you guys for creating the most perfect wedding video for us, one that helps us relive our favourite moments and one can we can share with all our friends and family."

For any couple, their Wedding is one of the most intimate & unforgettable moments in their lives. The Lightsmiths have this innate ability to capture moments in a way that those moments come alive with every revisit. We could not have asked for anyone better to shoot and capture our precious Wedding moments !

The Lightsmiths did the videography for our wedding in Sri Lanka. We had the best experience working with them. They have become an integral part of our story almost like family to me and Vish and our families. Both Rahul and Vibhuti got the brief pretty much from the time we met, they cut the most wonderful footage for our wedding video!

We highly recommend! Complete no brainer :)

Thank you to both of you for the momories!

"I met Vibhuti and Rahul after seeing their work in Top wedding photographers feature in Vogue, just in time when I was planning my wedding. Just in the first meeting, both Karan and I knew we wanted them to work with us in our wedding. The energy and enthusiasm was equivalent to the kind of energy we needed. As we were planning our wedding on our own, they really understood what we wanted. The images, the videos were beyond beautiful, which reflected in each of our events. We couldn't have asked for more."

We had the best experience with The Lightsmiths capturing our wedding pictures and videos. Vibhuti and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They beautifully captured the intimate moments between my husband and me, making us feel incredibly comfortable throughout the entire process.

The photographs were stunning, and the video was exceptional, featuring a perfect blend of traditional music for our South Indian wedding and modern tunes for the reception. Our family and loved ones adore the video, and it has quickly become a cherished keepsake. We are so grateful for their talent and professionalism.

Highly recommend The Lightsmiths for anyone looking to preserve their special moments!

I came across The Lightsmiths when I happened to see one of their videos online & I exclaimed “That’s how a Wedding is Shot!!!"

From the first time I called them, I felt an instant connection with Vibhuti. She was patient, listened to exactly what I wanted & I was instantly at peace because I knew, I have made the right choice & boy!! Did they deliver!!

They were punctual, (actually, earlier than the time that I needed them to be there ), happy and so so comfortable to work with. They were not people who were filming our wedding. They became a part of our family who also happened to film our wedding! They blended so well. They checked up on me, my husband, my family and went over and beyond with what I expected from them. 

When we received our videos we could not have been happier. From the short film, to the long film, the videos were captured so so so so beautifully .. when you’re busy being the bride and groom it all goes by in a flash and there are so many bits you miss, so watching the film, interviews and seeing some of the behind the scenes was absolutely fantastic. We will forever treasure our videos, they made us laugh and cry happy tears and bring out so many emotions. I can’t thank them enough !! 

If you are considering getting your wedding filmed – absolutely do so! They will NOT let you down !

Vibhuti, Rahul and their entire team at The Lightsmiths deserve great kudos for all their work, dedication & direction while covering our wedding! It was a pleasure working with them before, during and after our nuptials!

Vibhuti and Rahul have built a great team which bring immense talent, creativity and professionalism to wedding photography & videography. They took efforts to understand our needs, helped us in finalizing our plans and then provided an amazing portfolio which we will cherish forever.

My wife was in Mumbai and I was in the USA leading up to our wedding. They worked with both our schedules to be available for any questions we had during the planning stage. We had a 3 day wedding with multiple venues for the pre-wedding events. They covered all our events, big and small, including the sangeet, main wedding and later reception. Each and every occasion was captured perfectly!

A wedding is a big event for most people. Needless to say, Vibhuti and her team has the nous, expertise and dedication to capture those memories in such a way that one will cherish them forever!

Thank you so much!

Working with The Lightsmiths for my wedding photography & videos was an amazing experience! They took the time to understand our taste & needs for the style of photographs beforehand & were very flexible & understanding in the lead up to the wedding.

Through the wedding days, they managed to capture all the best moments and were present without being intrusive and also providing lots of advice along the way.

The end products with the photos and videos has been mind blowing!! The final video that they have shared has captured all the right moments and feelings, while really being an extremely well edited video. Our friends and family still give us loads of compliments on it

Highly recommend working with The Lightsmiths to capture your special days in the best way!

Vibhuti & Rahul , it's been two months since the wedding! My parents are in the US and we are all in my in laws place right now. We were just watching the wedding video again and again. They keep wanting to see more and more. All I have to say is how good a job you guys did. The scenes chosen, the music, the editing, everything was just so so perfect. Everyone loves it too and that means so much to me. I'm so so Glad we got to work with you!! Seriously, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I got my wedding documented by team Lightsmiths just 6 months ago, and we cannot stop watching what they have created for us. Vibhuti, Rahul and the entire team were there for us like family. Our guests still fondly remember them.

The films they have made, are a class apart. Everyone takes back a feeling after watching it. Their story telling, documentation, editing, choice of background score, i could go on.

Even through the days of the events, they ensured we were absolutely comfortable, they were fully professional with their timings and set up, and completely not-in-our-faces - which is very refreshing from photography teams.

Once again, thank you to team Lightsmiths. They've given us our most precious set of memories. 💛

-- ANIK & ANSHITA

I got their reference from a friend, so I just jumped in and called Vibhuti. After the first call itself, I was super sure I wanted to go ahead with her and the team. She was very warm and welcoming. There was a certain level of comfort I felt especially because while I was discussing my venues, she very openly and candidly told me all the pointers I should be asking and much more. I felt really comfortable with it because even though she wasn't our official photographer yet, she was being very honest and giving a lot of tips which were very helpful! And after this, things just flowed and we all had a blast! I couldn't have imagined the wedding being filmed by anyone else but them!! Loved working with every single person on the team and was super impressed with the outcome of the photos and videos! If you're here, reading this review just close your eyes and blindly trust them!!

The Lightsmiths captured our wedding in the sunny coastal city of Mangalore. They were still young as wedding photographers and while anyone would be unsure of a team that was just starting out, I had no doubt that they will be the ones to record our wedding memories. I had seen their earlier work and was really impressed with their talent, finesse, and professionalism that stood out among the ocean of photographers in the business. Right from the pre-wedding shoot in Mumbai, pre-wedding festivities and our wedding in Mangalore, both Vibhuti and Rahul made sure to beautifully balance the dynamics of our relationship with the rituals of a South Indian wedding. In short, they knew to how to blend contemporary and tradition with elan! Right from making us feel comfortable in front of the camera to capturing the candid and happy moments, the entire filming process felt effortless and non-intrusive, unlike the traditional way of photographers instructing the couple how to sit, stand, and pose at every turn! Not to mention how both of them are very sensitive to your needs but confident at the same time, making you trust their craft even more. Their energy and passion for what they do is inspiring indeed and even rubs off on you! I still remember how I was the groggy-eyed bride at six in the morning, but Vibhuti and Rahul were already ready with their gear, gung-ho about the d-day and rearing to go! We even got the pictures along with a beautiful wedding album on time as promised, without any nudging on our part. Thank you Vibhuti and Rahul for capturing our wedding so effortlessly and making the entire process stress-free. We were lucky to have you guys capture our precious wedding moments and couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Working with The Lightsmiths was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! They are highly professional - very efficient, skilled and with an in-depth knowledge of the industry. Their creativity and unique style resulted in beautiful photos which perfectly captured the events and emotions at both our weddings in Mumbai & France. They also went the extra mile to capture each and every moment of the ceremonies! And as a very camera-shy person, it was important for the bride to feel comfortable; both Rahul and Vibhuti succeeded in creating a safe space, we actually enjoyed the process which was something we weren't expecting! They are lovely people, very easy to work with, friendly and enthusiastic.

I met Vibhuti and Rahul in Mexico during a friend’s destination wedding. I got to see them both in action and knew right there that I wanted them to do my wedding photography and videography (even without a girlfriend at that time). Their passion, creativity and dedication to capturing intimate moments is what drew me initially. 3 years and an engagement later, both Rahul and Vibhuti flew down to Toronto, Canada for my pre-wedding & wedding shoot. They were accommodating and made us comfortable in front of the camera. They worked with us to make our vision of our wedding photos come to life and what we appreciated the most was that they took the time to get to know us and our story. The pictures from the wedding hang on our walls and we get to look at it in awe at how well it captured the entire day with all its candid moments. Thanks Vibhuti and Rahul for the priceless gift you have given us. You guys are incredible at what you do !

I had the pleasure of having The Lightsmiths cover my wedding last February, and I can confidently say they exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, their professionalism and passion for their craft were evident. They have a remarkable ability to blend into the background, capturing the most candid and genuine moments without ever feeling intrusive.

The quality of their photography is nothing short of superb. They masterfully balanced candid shots with technical precision, ensuring that every photo was not only a beautiful memory but also a work of art. The attention to detail in each frame, the play of light and shadows, and the natural expressions they captured were truly remarkable.What stood out the most was their commitment to making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. Their friendly and approachable nature made it easy to forget the camera was even there, allowing for the most authentic moments to be captured.

They were also incredibly flexible and accommodating to our requests, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

The final photos were delivered promptly, and the quality was exceptional. Each image told a story, beautifully encapsulating the emotions and joy of our special day. We have received countless compliments on our wedding photos, and we owe it all to The Lightsmiths.
