Shaadi (by Daastaan)

"Shaadi" means marriage. For us it means a beginning, a joining of families, and stories worth telling well.

We're not just there to document your day. We're there to witness it. Photography, films or both, from the mehndi to the last dance.

Our Story

2021 to now. Still evolving, still driven by he(art).

  1. No. 107 2021: The Beginning In the chaos of a locked-down world, two creatives met. Not to make content, but to tell y(our) story with he(art).
  2. No. 108 2022: The Foundation Trial. Error. Obsession. We learned that chaos isn't messy. It's alive.
  3. No. 109 2023: The Shift While the world chased trends, we chose intention. Strategy met instinct. That's where our stories changed.
  4. No. 110 2024: The Identity Daastaan became more than an agency. Storytelling rooted in culture, emotion, and meaning.
  5. No. 111 2025/6: The Now Still evolving. Still curious. Still driven by he(art). Because y(our) story is never finished, only refined.
