Candid Wedding Photography in San Francisco
Candid portraits are the best way to capture the emotions and stories of a day as special as this. When the world around you fades, you turn into the subject of a beautiful picture you’ll treasure forever. These moments are the ones we strive to capture in the best possible ways.

Big Colors, Bigger Films
The wedding films we shoot are our pride, and we are always aiming to give you the best we have. Shot in 4K, every important moment and event are captured with absolute beauty. No templates, only edited to match your taste, so you look your best, forever.
If you would like a short teaser to play on the same day, we offer same-day edits as an add-on service.
Events We Know Well
We have experience working with many traditions, and we’re happy to welcome new ones too.
Pre-Wedding Shoots
Whether San Francisco is your home or your dream backdrop, we help plan a relaxed, natural shoot.
Telugu Weddings
Early morning wake-ups for the muhurtham and the peals and petals for the talambralu, are all scenes familiar to us, so you can relax.
Punjabi and Sikh Weddings
From the roka to the milni, we know the order, and we know the feelings that come with them.
Muslim Weddings
Nikkah and the Walima are as familiar to us as anything else. There aren’t any moments to miss for such beautiful times.

San Francisco Wedding Venues We Know
Indian weddings are already a beautiful event. But with these venues, their beauty is shot to unparalleled levels.
The Fairmont San Francisco
Nob Hill is steep, and the gradient decides the baraat route more than the distance does. Walk it with the coordinator before the day.
The Palace Hotel
The glass-domed Garden Court is a statement of this beautiful hotel. With chandeliers and high ceilings, every entrance is a dream.
Stonetree Estate
With striking views of the mountains, this is an all-inclusive venue with a grand ballroom and a ceremony patio that is simply beautiful.
Ritz-Carlton
The baraat is the complication here, not the ballroom. Downtown streets mean SFPD coordination if you want horses or a loud procession.
Easy Spots for a Pre-Wedding Shot
These places have the simplicity and beauty to make you look great on camera
We Cover the Whole Bay Area
Many of our couples and their families live across the wider Bay Area, so we shoot wherever the celebration happens. We work regularly across these areas:

Kind Words from Our Couples
Words from our clients that we keep up at every turn
We were nervous about being on camera, but the team made us feel at ease right away. They told us to just be ourselves, and the pictures came out looking like us, they looked honest, not like we were posing.

Divya & Harish
On our first call, they didn’t really talk about packages. They asked us how we wanted to seem, the way we wanted our story to be told, and so much more. That made all the difference to us. Every picture felt like “wow, this was the perfect moment to capture that”.

We chose What A Story after seeing their films, and we were sold. Every piece of work felt made just for us. The team was also so great to work with, it was the easiest thing ever. We would pick them again in a heartbeat.
