Tapan Parikh – An ace photographer from Vadodara have hailed a long way into the art called photography.
“A day before my wedding, the photographer that I booked backed out. I panicked and started looking for another one. I went on google, called Tapan(he was shooting an event) and explained my situation. He was patient and understood everything. He called me back in a couple of hours and everything was set so quickly.
As soon as the team showed up on time, they got right to work to make sure they maximised our experience - they made us feel so comfortable, were assertive with what did and did not look good in the photo.
My whole family and friends were blown away at how they made them relaxed and confident in front of the camera.
The pictures turned out so BEAUTIFUL that I am confused which ones to frame.
Tapan and the team are truly a magician.
I highly recommend them!”
Shooting Lives by Tapa bhai is the most creative and innovative experience.
He and his team has handsome experience in photography, video shooting and creative professional service with humble approach.
Tapan Parikh's Shooting Lives and team I would definately recommend for all looking for photographer and related services to get in touch atleast once before finalizing with other options available.
Absolutely amazing experience with Tapan Bhai and his team at our wedding - they captured everything, great fun to have around, always coming up with new ideas to make things interesting and unique, really adaptable.
The photos and videos we have seen so far have been INCREDIBLE - thank you much so for everything!
I have known Tapan for a few years by now.
In simple words, I am a big fan of his work. I often wonder how he captures things with his camera & presents them with a whole new perspective!
Would always recommend him for any type of Photography & Videography Projects.
I booked Mr.Tapan Parikh as my Wedding Photographer.
He is a thorough professional having excellent knowledge and passion of photography. Its their family business since many years... The team was very awesome, un loving, punctual and with full of enthusiasm.
They made our wonderful day even more memorable. Words are not enough to describe the traditional as well as detailed candid photoshoots. We got all our photos on the very 2nd day. After seeing the album, we were on cloud nine.
You must go with "Shooting Lives" without having a second thought on your special days.
Tapan is an exceptional photographer and more importantly he has a very proficient and efficient team of people who works for him.
Right from corporate photography to event photography using drones and pulleys he does it all.
I have used his services and have referred him to quite a few friends and companies and, he has never failed to surprise me with his expertise.
Mr.Tapan is a photographer with passion. He like perfection for himself.
Knows very well the crowd. Phogtaphic skills are very good. Quality of photographs and video is fabulous.
Recently, he and his team had done entire photography and videography at my daughters marriage and results are very good.
Those who are looking for the best can rely on him.
“A moment once gone is gone forever.”
This is what Tapan Bhai emphasized on during our first meeting, he started with a presentation of different wedding photographs he and his team had taken over the years, explaining us different forms of wedding photography, distinguishing between candid and non-candid shots, wedding videos and so on. At first, it felt like perfect photography, everything was on point. We could clearly see his creativity and innovation reflect in his work. And the important thing was, he wanted to understand our expectations. It was an easy yes, because even though we were not too strong-headed about our wedding photography, we were convinced to go with the best to preserve the happiest moments of our lives.
Fast forward to the wedding festivities and the wedding day, we thoroughly enjoyed working with Tapan Bhai’s team. The team knew what they were doing, and captured every single moment. They captured us as the person that we are. They captured our candidness and everything that we were feeling. And not to mention those splendid posed shots! The team always cheered us up, were ever so patient with us, and would find even a 5-minutes of time to take shots and were always mindful about the time. They went above and beyond to capture it all.
The guests thoroughly enjoyed our wedding, and the best part for them was getting their pictures only days after the wedding on their phones. They simply had to scan a QR code, register themselves and they could see all the pictures they were in. Cool stuff!
We were leaving for the US only 3 days after the wedding and to my surprise, we got to take all the wedding memories in a hard drive with us. I never expected it to be done in such a short time.
Moreover, I am speechless about how the instagram reels that Tapan Bhai made for us turned out!
All in all, we had the most wonderful experience with Shooting Lives and am certain that I’ll go to Tapan Bhai for getting any of our future occasions shot. We would like to thank Tapan Bhai and everyone on the team for their precious time and skills for capturing the most beautiful moments of our lives before they were gone forever.
I can only fall short of words for my experience with the entire team of Tapan Parikh’s Shooting Lives. Tapanbhai and the entire team provided us with a flawless experience throughout the entire 3 day wedding.
The support during each function was so good, each and everyone kept patience with us and helped us capturing each moment beautifully. I am so happy and glad we chose and trust Tapan Parikh’s Shooting Lives to capture our big day and help us make the most beautiful memories for a lifetime.
Thank you so much for this excellent experience and helping us create the most amazing memories.
Tapan and his team of Shooting Lives are truly a dream team to work with!
Here’s why:
Everyone knows that wedding planning can be very stressful, let alone planning it from across the world. You spend months planning for a special day that creeps up on you suddenly and is over before you know it.
On that day, one of the most important aspects is photography and videography. Tapan and his team have truly captured events of our special day in a way that looking back at the pictures and videos makes us re-live the moments every time. This is the true essence of shooting lives. From the day that I sat down with Tapan in his office, he shared multiple examples of his previous work and took the time to get to know me and what I valued. After that, the rest was magic.
Photography is truly an art and every member of the shooting lives team are fantastic artists. It can get very tiring to smile endlessly during the wedding events, however each and every member of Tapan’s team including himself knew how to bring out our true smiles and laughter despite the chaos that we were surrounded by. Each and every picture reflected a true emotion and told a beautiful story.
I would hire Tapan and his team over and over again! Thank you truly for making our day and events extremely memorable. We will be cherishing these moments for life thanks to you all!
What can I say about Tapan and his team…just one word comes to mind…AWESOME…
Every member of Shooting Lives team makes you feel really special. Each and everyone treats you nicely and I must say they are most courteous people I have ever seen.
They all go beyond just being photographers. All of them are very skilled professionals and they always know what’s that special moment. It’s needless to say that all of them are real punctual as far as timing is concerned, someone will always be there to capture that special moment.
Thanks Tapan and his entire team for making our functions memorable and capturing all the moments which we all are going to cherish forever.
Absolutely beautiful is what I can say :)
What truly sets Tapan apart is not just his technical skill, which is undeniable, but also his ability to see and capture the emotion behind each shot.
I highly recommend Tapan and his team for your best day. If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning images but also makes the entire experience unforgettable, look no further. Thank you for helping make our wedding day truly magical!
The passion they have for their work is visible in the kind of work they deliver. The team puts in a lot of hard-work, cooperates well and they also have a good sense of humour :P You won’t be disappointed.
Also, I like how they have started focusing on content and social media. Keep it up guys! Thank you so much :)

I consider myself extremely lucky to have met a person and an artist like Tapan Parikh.
Having met so many photographers in the city for my wedding and many more on my list of photographers, I stopped considering anyone else after my very first meeting with Tapan Parikh. The one thing that made me so decisive was I met an artist with a vision and not a businessman. He was so invested in knowing our love story, our ideology of marriage, our different cultures and our family backgrounds which honestly made such a big difference.
WHAT A TEAM. Tapan bhai has one of best photographers in the city as a part of his team. We had a team of 8-10 photographers covering all the events of our wedding and all of them were so warm hearted, humble, always on time and hardworking. During all the events, we were so comfortable and enjoyed getting each and every picture clicked.
I cannot thank the whole team and the man behind it all, Tapan Parikh, enough for being such an integral part of our wedding and doing it with such a finesse. Looking at our amazing wedding pictures and the small beautiful moments that are captured, I am so glad I made the perfect decision.
I highly recommend Tapan Parikh for shooting events, weddings and photoshoots. He has a great amount of experience, he is very creative and undoubtedly one of the bests in the field.
Tapanbhai - Thank you so much for capturing the joy, beauty, and emotion of Sanjna and Aravind’s wedding so perfectly. Every photo tells a story, and your attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism truly brought the entire celebration to life.
From the smallest candid moments to the grandest ceremonies, you preserved memories that we will cherish forever. We are incredibly grateful for your and your team’s talent and for being such a warm and calming presence throughout the festivities.

The best experience with a photographer to date!
Tapan Parikh is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. At Karni mahal Jaisamand Resort Jaipur.
He is the best photographer I have ever seen On time. Followed through on everything he said he would do. Would highly recommend him to family, friends and business associates
Tapan is super creative and is genuinely a nice guy. He is an extremely personable individual, with an artistic eye, he will make your experience memorable!!
He has an amazing eye and is so easy to work with.
Don’t pass up the chance to work with him!
There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo that Tapan snaps. He has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions.
He creates magic. He has captured the most special moments of our life at Karni mahal Jaisamand Resort Jaipur.
I would never hesitate to recommend r. Tapan PMarikh to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.
We want to share our experience of working with
Tapan Parikh and Shooting Lives team for our wedding.
We were referred to Tapan by one of our family friends and he has done numerous weddings for our relatives.
His photography comes as highly recommended from everyone that we spoke to.
Once we contacted Tapan, he walked through the entire process as well pricing.
We looked at his past work and were truly impressed to sign him on for our entire wedding shoots.
During the entire wedding celebrations, he took great pictures and paid attention to all the details.
One of the crucial steps in dealing with photographers is getting the prints as the photgraphers can take extensive time for edits.
However, Tapan and his team were quick and we received our albums few weeks after the wedding.
Tapan and the entire Shooting Lives team is very talented, organized and most importantly fun to work with.
We will certainly recommend them to our friends and family.
Best wishes,
Love
Hansal & Jayna Sheth

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But I wonder, what else do “they” say?
Your Photography is the story I fail to put into words.
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be gratified with silence. Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after everyone has forgotten everything.
You make photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
Your photography for us is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.
A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.
The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
You don’t take a photograph, you make it.
When people ask us what equipment he uses?
We tell them "His Eyes, because He is Shooting Lives.."
Thank you Mr. "T" !!!
Tapan Parikh, A person who will always remain close to my heart!!!
He is not just a photographer or a friend, he is now a family...
My journey from Anita Dighe to Anita Jadhav, he & his team had been a very important part of this transition!
From late night prewed shoot to wedding, he always stood by me. It’s the pics he clicked that gave me a confidence, made me feel beautiful.
I absolutely admire the way he is passionate about his work. At times he disagreed my suggestion, and had his own views. But looking at results, I feel thankful that he had disagreed with my suggestion.
The candid pics he clicked, are not just pictures, they are moments captured, my memories trapped in frames, which are and will remain my biggest treasure.
Once he is on project, he no more remains a photographer, he becomes a friend whom you can always turn to for advice.
A secret thing, he is a great philosopher, n had been a mentor on various wedding related matters, which made this journey fun, easy, stress free and memorable.
His handpicked team is also excellent, and that’s not what I felt, that was view from all the family & friends who were part of wedding.
A tough guy when it comes about shooting, he ensures that he delivers the best. I had been lucky to have such a wonderful and talented team around for the most important task of my wedding.
And I won’t call it photograph, I will call it capturing memories!!!
