We are a Kiwi-Indian Photographer duo based in Auckland since 2015. Manu has always had a passion for photography, and Baani caught the bug shortly after arriving in New Zealand, eager to document the beauty of this incredible country. Our love for outdoor photography has also taken us to the stunning landscapes of the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand in India, as well as the picturesque regions of California and Arizona in the USA. Check out some of our personal work here.

Our Journey

For many years, we’ve been the go-to photographers at events hosted by our friends and family. With their constant encouragement, we decided to make photography an even more significant part of our lives—if that’s even possible! And thus, Manu and Baani Photography was born.

Our Specialty

At Manu and Baani Photography, we specialize in cinematic-style portrait and lifestyle photography, capturing the essence of Individuals, Couples, and Families. Our services are perfect for a variety of occasions, including Weddings (from grand celebrations to intimate Elopements and Micro Weddings), Engagements, Proposals, Maternity shoots, Newborn sessions, and even “Just Because” moments.

Our Approach

We take great pleasure in getting to know our clients, allowing us to create emotionally charged images that tell their unique stories in an artistic and timeless manner. We believe the best photos capture real-life, natural moments that bring a smile to your face every time you look back at them.

Our Commitment

Our commitment to closely cater to each client’s expectations ensures that no two photo sessions are ever the same. Typically held outdoors, our sessions leverage natural light to achieve an un-staged, candid, and authentic feel.

Let’s Create Together

Let us help you create timeless memories that reflect your true essence.
