About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: June 2026

Focal Storyteller is a London-based photography business led by Pranav, with over 10 years behind the camera. I cover weddings, parties, events, portraits and commercial work across East London, Essex and the wider UK, capturing real, candid moments in a relaxed, documentary-led style rather than stiff poses.

What makes me different is that I offer both photography and film from one person — so you get a consistent look, a single point of contact, and an easier experience on the day. Every booking is delivered to a professional standard via a private online gallery you can view, download and share, with fast turnaround as standard.

From intimate gatherings to large celebrations, I'd love to help capture your day.

Absolute sweetheart and a great professional

Pranav is an incredibly kind-hearted person and we're truly delighted to have had him photograph our wedding. We were in two minds about photography until the very last few days and a friend recommended Pranav. He made himself available immediately, he was bang on time (registry didn't want people arriving more than 5 minutes early to the venue!), he took LOTS of beautiful photographs that I cannot wait to have printed out and scatter all over our home! The photos are amazing given how little he had to work with (just the registry and a nearby park), he sent me the photos extremely fast (I've heard people having to wait 6 months for photos!) and was absolutely delightful throughout the whole day and after. My only regret is not asking him to be there for the wedding dinner too. Honestly, do not hesitate to hire him. He is the sweetest person and genuinely helped make our day so much more special. Thank you so so much, Pranav! Olly and Zlatina
