Some photographers grow into their style. Others, like Gaurav Shukla, arrive with a creative language already honed.
“I’m Gaurav Shukla, founder of Fourfold Pictures.”
He recalls the beginning with clarity and affection:
“My journey began as a fashion photographer, a craft I continue to pursue through my personal editorial projects.”
Those early years shaped everything that followed. The discipline of high fashion – controlled lighting, intentional posing, conceptual mood – became the framework that slowly spilled into weddings.
“Over the years, I’ve brought the same high-fashion visual language into the world of weddings—creating imagery that feels cinematic, stylized, and deeply personal.”
And with that evolution, FOURFOLD PICTURES carved a space uniquely their own.
When asked how long he has been part of the industry, Gaurav smiles in a way that reveals just how many love stories have been woven through his lens.
“14 years now.”
Over that time, he and Priyanka have built a brand that attracts couples seeking intention, aesthetic depth, and a visual identity—not just documentation.
Their style can be summed up in two words Gaurav uses unapologetically:
“EDITORIAL TASTE”
It’s a philosophy more than a label—a commitment to photographing weddings as carefully as a magazine cover story, without losing the authenticity beneath the artistry.
Every creative voice has its instruments. For FOURFOLD, the choice of gear carries as much purpose as their storytelling approach.
Gaurav lists his essentials simply:
CANON R5M2 & MEDIUM FORMAT FILM HASSELBLAD
Film gives soul. Digital gives precision. Blended together, they create the polished, modern, emotionally resonant look that defines the studio.
Post-processing follows the same restrained, intentional philosophy:
“LIGHTROOM”
Subtle refinement rather than heavy retouching—enough to preserve tone, texture, and the editorial structure of every frame.
A signature part of the FOURFOLD workflow is collaboration. The team guides couples early and thoroughly, helping them understand how styling, mood, and timing shape the final result.
“I guide clients through mood boards, styling suggestions, and conceptual planning. This ensures we’re working from a shared visual language rooted in editorial sensibility.”
This approach isn’t about control—it’s about elevating the story.
Gaurav is also honest about what matters most on a wedding day:
AESTHETIC IS VERY IMP & TIMINGS
A shared aesthetic direction and well-planned schedule allow the photographer to create the same level of visual resonance found in fashion editorials.
Whether the wedding is intimate or grand, local or overseas, FOURFOLD PICTURES tailors everything to the couple’s personality and vision.
When asked if custom packages are available, the answer comes without hesitation:
“YESS OF COURSE.”
This flexibility reflects their desire to create not only images but experiences—ones that feel personal, considered, and aligned with the couple’s identity.
Though editorial sophistication defines their portfolio, the true spark behind FOURFOLD PICTURES lies in human connection.
When asked what he loves most about photography, Gaurav answers with unexpected simplicity:
“TO MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE.”
Every story becomes a new world. Every couple, a new narrative. This sense of curiosity fuels the artistry of the brand.
FOURFOLD PICTURES is no stranger to travel.
Destination weddings are a core part of their work:
“YESS ALL OVER GLOBE.”
Their name has also become synonymous with high-profile celebrations.
Gaurav shares with pride:
SHOT MULTIPLE BOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY WEDDING LIKE PARINEETI CHOPRA & RAGHAV CHADDA. N ALOT OF INFLUENCERS WEDDING EXCLUSIVELY FOR VOGUE INDIA. FEATURE MULTIPLE TIME IN VOGUE,ELLE,BAZZAR.
These milestones aren’t just accomplishments—they reflect the trust placed in their ability to merge editorial style with emotional storytelling on the biggest stages.
Gaurav and Priyanka believe in crafting something lasting—a visual narrative that couples can return to again and again with the same sense of awe.
Their promise is simple: to approach every wedding with the refined eye of fashion photography and the warmth of genuine human connection.
As Gaurav often says, they don’t just document—they create stories meant to outlive the moment.
