Meet the Creators

Shweta Balaji

Co-founder, lead photographer

I picked up a camera when I was 19, mostly just messing around and learning from my dad—who’s been a photographer for 30 years. Honestly, I didn’t think much of it at the time. But here we are, and now I can’t imagine doing anything else. It’s one of those passions that just kind of grabbed me and never let go.

The best part? I get to be there for people on some of the happiest days of their lives. And somehow, that’s my job. I’ve teared up during father-of-the-bride speeches, grinned like an idiot while couples say their vows, and danced (with my camera, of course) at more receptions than I can count. If you’re a bride, I’m basically your bonus bridesmaid—fixing your dress, making sure you look amazing, and catching every moment that actually feels like you.

So yeah, I’d say I lucked

I guess if you’re here, you probably want to know a little about me—not just the photographer me, but the actual human behind the camera. So, here’s the rundown:

I’m the kind of person who will absolutely tear up at a good speech, laugh way too hard at dad jokes, and probably end up on the dance floor at your reception (still shooting, don’t worry). I thrive in the chaos of a wedding day—pinning boutonnieres, fixing veils, rounding up the bridal party like a professional cat wrangler. My camera might be in my hands, but I’m all in for making sure you have the best time ever.

At the end of the day, I love people. I love real moments.

And I love turning those moments into photos that bring you right back to how it all felt.

Alright, so here’s a little about me—because if I’m going to be spending your wedding day with you, capturing all the big (and small) moments, you should probably know what kind of person I am.

For starters, I’m ridiculously clumsy. If there’s something to trip over, I will find it. It keeps life interesting, I guess. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me completely lost in an Ilayaraja song, imagining myself as the lead in one of his movies. No shame—I fully commit to the daydream. I love animals (I’ve got two dogs, and one day, I will have a farm with cows).

Here’s something that might make you question everything: I hate coffee. I mean, I wish I liked it, but I just don’t get it. How are you all drinking this stuff every day? My partner has been trying to balance me out by getting me into reading books and watching classic movies, so we’ll see how that goes. But if we’re talking hobbies, basketball is more my thin.

Vignesh Krishnan

Co-founder, lead Photographer

What dragged me into photography was wildlife! I just imagined myself being the guy midst of all the wilderness in action happening in the most beautiful and raw form.

I had multiple dreams disorder! Before Photography entered in my blood, I was just on the verge of emerging as one of the best surgeons in the world carrying out the most complex surgery possible.

And then giving the toughest competition to Steve Jobs & Bill Gates by becoming a Software & geek nerd.

Just Last benchers thing!

Reality struck hard & one fine day it was all Photography and haven’t turned back yet.

What made me to stick onto weddings is the raw love, cultural harmony & emotions. That keeps me going and fuels all the creative part of my brain.

Right, so what’s it having me to celebrate along with you on your special day?

I’m that one who will be capturing everything love, at the first place & right in front of you, prompting you with puns and jokes to bring that best smiles in you!

I think I make the most sarcastic jokes. if we get along I’m sure you’ll laugh lout loud for my sarcasm.

Okay what contradicts me with Shweta is the love for coffee. I reach the wedding venues at the earliest, specially any South Indian Weddings just for the coffee, that’s another thing that fuels the creative part of my brain.

I still fight with my wife for getting a Play station for myself. Until then you are free to invite me over for a game of NFS, FIFA, COD with chilled beer!

That’s the way we’re friends forever!

Our Origin Story

East Coast Wedding co. was born out of a friendship that began in 2016 between Vignesh and Shweta, and our shared love for capturing the essence of life’s most beautiful moments. Founded in July 2024, our journey began with a simple idea: to tell stories that truly matter.

We believe in capturing emotions, the unscripted moments, and the quiet in-betweens that often speak louder than words.

Documenting every celebration with photographs and films that reflect a personal connection and the joy, laughter, and tears. We want to provide you with timeless memories that is your souvenir forever.

We would like to describe our style as ‘storytellers’, focusing on capturing the myriad of emotions that happen during your wedding day and being un-intrusive, raw & candid.

Timeless souvenirs of your

most loved days
