The story
so far.
My sister and brother-in-law gifted me a camera when I was young. I'd go on long walks, looking for light, expressions, small details — moments that felt worth keeping. Even then, photography was not just about taking pictures. It was a way of paying attention.
Electronics diploma. Campus placement at an MNC in Kochi. After a year in corporate life, I understood clearly: that world was not where I belonged. So I resigned. With my PF savings and some support from my father, I bought the camera that would begin my professional journey.
I spent long hours walking alone through forests — photographing birds, wildlife, small creatures. Waiting for a paradise flycatcher to appear. Studying silence, patience, timing, and instinct. That was my first real school in photography.
A friend asked me to photograph his cousin's wedding. I hesitated — I had no confidence in photographing people. But I went. The shutter speed was not always right. The ISO was not always right. But the feeling was there. That wedding taught me I was not bad at photographing people. In fact, I was drawn to them.
Portraits, birthdays, engagements, holy communions, family gatherings. One small assignment became another. The earliest clients who trusted me before I had a strong portfolio — they became part of the foundation of what Memorygraph is today.
Shaped by forests, by uncertainty, by family, by friendship, by mistakes, by instinct, and by the quiet belief that some moments deserve to be remembered with care. Today, we photograph weddings with the same attention that began it all: patiently, honestly, and with deep respect for the people in front of us.
Memorygraph did not begin as a wedding company. It began with a camera, long walks, quiet observation, and a boy trying to understand the world through photographs.
Years before Memorygraph had a name, photography had already found its place in my life. My first camera was a gift from my sister and brother-in-law when I was young. I remember walking with it, looking for light, expressions, small details, and moments that felt worth keeping. Even then, photography was not just about taking pictures. It was a way of paying attention.
Later, I completed a diploma in Electronics and was placed through campus selection at an MNC in Infopark, Kochi. On paper, it was the kind of beginning many people would have considered stable. But after a year in corporate life, I understood something clearly: that world was not where I belonged.
So I resigned.
With my PF savings and some support from my father, I bought the camera that would begin my professional journey. At first, I photographed birds, forests, small creatures, and wildlife. I spent long hours walking alone through forests, waiting for a paradise flycatcher to appear, watching the movement of snakes, studying silence, patience, timing, and instinct.
That was my first real school in photography.
Weddings came unexpectedly. A friend asked me to photograph his cousin's wedding in Kottayam. I hesitated. I did not think I was good at photographing people. I had no confidence in handling the pace, emotion, and chaos of an Indian wedding. But the family needed someone, and my friend insisted.
So I went.
That first wedding stayed with me. Even now, nearly a decade later, I remember the moments clearly. I remember the nervousness, the mistakes, the frames I chased, the technical imperfections, and the photographs that somehow still carried something honest. The shutter speed was not always right. The ISO was not always right. But the feeling was there.
That wedding taught me that I was not bad at photographing people. In fact, I was drawn to them.
From there, I began photographing friends, small portraits, modelling sessions, birthdays, engagements, holy communions, and family gatherings. I worked with a designer friend to create my first printed album for a birthday event. Slowly, one small assignment became another. Then came my second wedding, this time for a friend.
Looking back, the earliest clients and friends who trusted me before I had a strong portfolio were not just supporters. They became part of the foundation of what Memorygraph is today.
Memorygraph was built by those first acts of trust.
It was shaped by forests, by uncertainty, by family, by friendship, by mistakes, by instinct, and by the quiet belief that some moments deserve to be remembered with care.
Today, we photograph weddings with the same attention that began it all: patiently, honestly, and with deep respect for the people in front of us.
Because for us, a wedding is not just an event to be covered. It is a memory being formed in real time.
