NYC wedding photographer Priyanca Rao Photography

Amilea and Peter's story is very Pride and Prejudice. Having met each other at different occasion they talked on and off until the sparks appeared! Their first bonding trip together to Iceland was what sealed their love for travel and each other. Central Park is one of...

This family is so special to me. I have been photographing the Samuel family for the last five years. When I first moved to NYC the very first shoot I booked was little Islin's first birthday party, and now she is 6 years old! Every year I watch them grow and become su...

Brian went all out for his big proposal to the love of his life Zuzana! When I mean all out he over came his own fears of heights to give her the best present, a helicopter ride over their favorite city- New York City! He surprised her with a limo ride to the helipad,...

Esha and Raj's wedding was so special for me. The first time I met Esha to talk about her wedding we spent several hours together drinking wine like old friends. The kids joined us at the end and we all just ended up having had a giant playdate! 

The wedding was very si...

Remina and Derek are two of the most chilled people you will ever meet. They survived all the challenges of a long distance relationship to be together, both moving mountains for their love. So, this day was everything to them! 

I love how their wedding had traditional...

Brooklyn bridge in all its glory with Sasha and Kefie was a blast! I always learn from every couple I meet. From these two I learned about caring for your partner. Kefei had a whole breakfast spread ready for Sasha for their early morning shoot. Neatly arranged in boxe...

When you meet your dream couple it doesn't take long for magic to play into your photos. Irene and Chien were so amazing! Their love for each other and creative photography was flowing from start to end. So much fun in the NY Public Library shoot. We walked over the Gr...

Jack and Marcela are some of the most honest people I have met. Full of Hope not only for themselves, for their family and the whole world. Their hearts are HUGE! When I met Marcela at their consultation, I asked her what she wanted the photos to say. She said I want t...

Becky and Rob's wedding is so so special to me, especially because they have become close friends. I truly understand what is important to them. Their families: Rob was home schooled and the oldest of six siblings. They are so close knit and their bond was so evident t...

Kavi and Neel came all their way from LA to capture their engagement photos in NYC. Neel's goofiness was just the right compliment to Kavi's energy and vibe! Between laughing and cracking up, I managed to get some of these epic shots of them just being themselves! Kavi...

Krishna and Natansh's intimate home wedding in Alpine NJ was one of my highlights from last year. Krishna and Natansh were so excited for us to capture authentic moments from their wedding day and break away from the clichés of South Asian weddings. The fact that they...

Jessy is a planner, well not professionally but she is very organized and really on top of things. She had a beautiful vision for her wedding and it was simply perfect. I feel like I have known these two for years, especially since they booked me so way in advance for...

This shoot with Esha and Raj had so many 'firsts' for me. First 2 am start to a shoot, first road trip with clients and breakfast at Dunkin donuts at 3:30 am!  First road rage incident on the way to a shoot. First people to arrive at a location for a shoot. And first p...

I had the pleasure of photographing Saman and Noopa a few weeks ago. They few all the way from Calgary Canada for their engagement session and are getting married in Cabo Mexico. These two amazing humans are a blast to be around. After our Central Park session we heade...

Akansha and Rishanth's beautiful Central Park engagement shoot now on the blog. It was one hellava frigid day for a shoot but your company and chemistry kept us all warm. Thank you Tia for your help with lighting. I had a blast with you all.
