It has been a memorable experience with Vivek. His photography skills are amazing and the calm & composed manner in which he goes about his job is a sight to behold. He clicked amazing candid photographs at my wedding. He will just mingle among the guests and click photos without anyone knowing. The pictures he has clicked are phenomenal and in our family, we still enjoy reliving those moments through his photographs. Completely dependable and thorough professional. Best wishes to him for the future.

Vivek covered my wedding in Feb 2019 as a candid wedding photographer. His work is excellent, and he is very diligent and passionate about his craft. He made sure that every relative and close friends are covered and the rituals are also reflected well across the images. Above all, he is a very nice and friendly person to have on your wedding, who mingles with the family members so well that you would not even realize, he is a photographer. I believe that's how a truly candid wedding photographer should be. Further, he also took my consent before using my wedding photographs on social media, which I really liked and delivered the images on time. I must say, he is truly professional, sophisticated and flexible enough to address last minute requests."

Vivek is an excellent photographer. We have been a fan of his style ever since our college days. He is also a thorough professional. Our designated photographer cancelled 3 days before the wedding and then we reached out to Vivek in panic.Vivek reassured us and managed to put together all logistics within 72 hours and captured our wedding stills to create some amazing memories.We would highly recommend him.Cheers

The first time I saw Vivek's pictures of my wedding, I was mesmerised as I had not imagined that my own wedding could be so beautiful! I felt so blessed to have chosen him as our photographer when I went through the entire album. We could re-live the whole thing as he had captured not just the events, but also the animated expressions and the joy on the faces of everyone around. He captured several cute moments like my cousins giggling, friends meeting up after long etc. and thus captured through his photos not just the look, but the also the FEEL of the whole wedding. My favourite photos are those of my camera shy mother who is smiling in so many photos! Vivek's photos speak to his superlative talent. His shots are lovely mix of artistic and candid, the quality of the photos is excellent and the final album comes out in such beautiful vibrant colours! Vivek is also an amazing person to work with. He is so cheerful and happy, and it feels like you've known him as a close friend for years almost instantly. I must mention how even though I had asked Vivek to capture only the main wedding, he volunteered to come the previous day and captured several lovely shots in the sangeet/reception as well. I was truly touched by this wedding gift! Further, Vivek had injured his leg which I thought would make it difficult for him to move around and manoeuvre freely - yet, it did not deter him one bit. At the wedding, mixes well with the crowd and generally puts everyone around him at ease. A photographer is one of the most important vendors at the wedding, I am ecstatic I got mine right. ?

Vivek and his team covered my wedding in December last year in Kerala. I really liked his work and would always recommend Creative Genes to anyone who is looking for a talented photographer at a very affordable price. (However, I would not really recommend the other photographer whom Vivek brought for traditional photography at the wedding. His work has quite a bit of room for improvement. Of course, Vivek brought this photographer with him because we asked him to bring a traditional photographer with him.) Other than Vivek's photography, what I really liked about him is his truly professional behaviour and on-time delivery. Most importantly, the whole team does not create a fuss about anything and tries to get the best out of any situation. (I was also happy to note that he asked my permission to share some of the photos from my wedding on his website, respecting our privacy.) Today, a few months later when I look back, I find the coverage complete in all respects and that part of my wedding celebrations, a truly memorable one. Thank you so much for your efforts and hard work. It really speaks for itself. All the very best!

Vivek and his team members were quite humble. They went an extra mile not once but many times to cover everything, from the smallest details to the important rituals. Honestly, he covered some of those candid moments/rituals that I had no clue about. It comes out as a surprise when he and his team delivers those moments to you. I highly recommend creative genes. Value for your money. And thanks again for the hard work put in by you guys, to make my wedding album memorable.

It's been more than a year since my wedding but I still can't forget the bitter experience I had with this photographer. A very money minded fellow, who was more interested in uploading my pictures on his site (includng a few inappropriate pictures) than providing me a copy of them. I even asked him to pull off my pictures from the net but he denied saying those pictures are his property now, He didn't even provide me pictures which he has uploaded on his website and WedMeGood. Moreover, he's not even capable enough for wedding photography as he was unable to be present at the memorable moments of my Goan wedding. There were hardly any pictures of my family (He was busy taking picutres of the beach apparently). He captured moments which were of more importance from his photography aspect. Very low on professionalism, may seem friendly before taking up the project but once he has grabbed his deal, he is on his own. I would never recommend him to anyone.

All deliverables came in well within time. Co ordinates smoothly with the rest of his team to ensure every aspect of the wedding is captured in rich detail.

We loved the candid photographs Vivek took at our wedding. From the Mehendi to the Bidaai, he covered everything, including the make-up and wardrobe shots. The pictures he has captured of our family and friends will be treasured for a lifetime. He was polite, patient, accommodating and got along so well with us that it felt like he was a part of our extended family. I?ve seen some weddings where the photographers ask the bride to make cheesy poses and get in the way but Vivek was the opposite of that. As a bride, I felt very comfortable having him around, he worked around our constraints and took photos that authentically captured the moments. Choosing him as the photographer for our destination wedding in Goa was our best decision.

Asking Vivek to do the photography at my engagement was one of the best decisions I could have taken. He is punctual, both to the venue and in giving the completed photos; he is polite; he knows when to take more photos or when to dial it back; he makes sure to talk to you about what kind of photos you want, he is supremely professional but very friendly at the same time, and most importantly, he is extremely talented. The finished photos are simply top class! Everyone loves them. I would highly highly recommend him for all event photography.

Thankyou Vivek and team for the amazing work executed at my engagement. Unlike other photographers who are at times rude and dominating, Vivek and team stood very calm and patient right from 7.00 am till 3.00 pm and made sure every requierement of the day is met at their best They made sure to give equal importance to all the guests and special space to bride groom, by capturing every expression and unforgettable natural moment. Right from almost a month before the D day (I had contacted him almost a month back) they were continuously in touch with us enquiring our requirement and understanding our tastes and preferrances. Over all we loved their photography and I would love them to capture our pictures even for our wedding. Wish you and your team a very good luck. Keep up the good work.

Vivek = flexible+ creative + reasonable+ friendly + flexible again Once we decided to have pre-wedding shoot and candid photographer for our big day, the treasure hunt began!! to search for the photographer...After several searches on the web we zeroed upon Vivek who was fitting in all aspects. Than came deciding the dates for the shoot. We both being doctors did not have luxury of spare time, had to squeeze in the shoot in some weekend. It was just four days prior to the shoot and suddenly realized that the shoot had to be done that weekend or else it won't happen at all because we both were occupied with work all other weekends- called up Vivek and he said he will be arriving in city from other shoot on Saturday but still could make it that weekend. On the day of shoot Vivek was up by 4:30 with full of energy while we both were like sleep deprived zombies. Conversation with him did infact got the energy within us. During the shoot he was always thinking about the picture composition and creative ways which infact is reflected in our pictures. He is open to ideas from the couple and actually encourages it. He gets so involved in his shoot that once he forgot where he left his one of the camera ;-) We anxiously waiting for him to capture our big day!

After looking at the outcome of our engagement photos taken by vivek and looking at some of the pre-wedding shoot that he did for one of our friends, we decided to contact him for our pre-wedding shoot. He asked us to meet before the shoot to know about our hobbies, likes and dislikes, outfits that would look good on us. Once all this was finalized during out meeting, we finally went for the shoot. During the photo shoot he kept interacting with us so that we wouldn't feel uncomfortable. The shoot came out brilliantly and everyone loved the photos. From my overall experience i would say that Vivek is an extremely talented Photographer, particularly when it comes to capturing the subtleties & natural moments. We were really impressed with the coverage of the day, and the beautiful finish to the shots. Thank you!

When we decide to get a pre wedding shoot, the biggest challenge was the search of a photo grapher who would understand all that we wanted to say through our pics. We searched and came to know about Vivek. He wanted to meet us before wedding shoot, so that we can get to know each other and during shoot we can be comfortable. Vivek was keen to know everything related to our story so that he can create magic in his pictures. He made sure that we shared our like, dislikes, how did we meet and fell in love, our quirks, what we liked about each other to the zodiac signs. He did all his research before the shoot. He only suggested the locations apt for shoot and guided us on the outfits that we were supposed to wear. He even took care to match the outfits that both of us were supposed to wear, so that it can come out beautifully. During the shoot, we never felt like we were posing in front of stranger. He kept on talking to us and eased us so can freely pose for pictures. The whole shoot came out beautifully and the magic that he created with his pictures is undeniable. Vivek put in lot of hard work and dedication in the whole shoot and kept smiling throughout. The whole shoot is exceptional. We would definitely seek his services in future and recommend for other couples

Vivek shot our Sangeet in September 2016. Although we requested him to focus on the photobooth, he went out of his way in capturing many other beautiful shots of the event as well. When we saw the photos, we were very satisfied - they were classy and beautiful.

Searching for wedding photographer is a tough process, there are lot of options on the internet. We contacted Vivek and finalised him as his photographs are at par with very very costly wedding photographers. He is polite, friendly and professional. He captured nice candid shots. He was kind enough to cover additional wedding events at last moment. He gave honest suggestions about hiring traditional photographer, which proved to be correct. Apart from his photography skills Vivek is very dedicated and reliable and his photography package is very reasonable.

When we decided to get a candid photographer on board for our engagement, we spent days trying to find the right one who met all our needs. We despised the cliched poses or the usual- stand in attention, fake a smile, click photos. We wanted a photographer who could capture the essence and soul of the event and getting Vivek to do that was the best choice we made. Well before the event, he made time to meet us both in person, conversed over what we were looking for. Friendly and polite, it took us very less time to get comfortable telling him our ideas and blending them with his. On the event day, he was right on time and captured some of the best candid moments which otherwise would have been lost with the usual photo sessions. He captured beautiful smiles, giggles, laughter and moments that meant the world to us. Now, to see the photos and relive those moments is a great feeling. All thanks to Vivek :) If you're looking out for a friendly, flexible and humble photographer- then do go with Vivek. I would happily suggest him. Keep up the good work Vivek. All the very best and thank you for giving back our event with a such a visual treat :)
