Ahmedabad, India · (+91) 812-8887-222 · ahesan@agphotography.in

I am a self-taught visual artist and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the wedding and fashion photography industry. In 2011,
I founded Handcrafting Memories by AG Photography, a boutique brand known for fine art storytelling, cinematic visuals, and authentic emotional captures.

Driven by passion and shaped by perseverance, I began my journey after a life-changing event in 2009, choosing photography as my path in 2011. Since then, I’ve had the honor of documenting over 400 weddings across India and beyond, blending traditional aesthetics with modern narrative techniques.

My role spans from directing creative shoots to managing large-scale destination projects, mentoring upcoming photographers, and continuously innovating client experiences. I believe every frame is a memory in the making—and I strive to handcraft each one with honesty, artistry, and heart.
