What does CHHABI means?
/'chuh-b-EE/
(n) picture, photo, photograph, image, reflection
Wedding is not just an event that ends after a few hours — it becomes a corner of the heart, held gently for a lifetime. That’s why we put everything we have into transforming moments into memories: beautiful, honest, and unforgettable.
At Chhabi, photography is not just a profession, it’s a legacy built on love, trust, and time.
Dharmendra Soochak has spent over 40+ years behind the camera, capturing stories that matter. Having learned the craft from his father, he’s carried it forward with heart, humility, and a deep respect for real moments. For him, photography has never been about just clicking a shutter, it’s about preserving the feeling in a fleeting second.
The passion runs in the blood, both his son Bhumil and Karan have embraced photography, now shaping their own creative journeys.
Dharmendra continues to lead Chhabi with the same quiet passion he began with. Today, he stands at the heart of it all still creating, still feeling, and still choosing this path every single day.
We are more than a team we are a family of trusted, talented artists who believe in what we do. Each person in our crew brings something unique, but we’re all aligned by one shared intention:
To make photographs that feel like memories, and films that feel like moments you lived twice.
Big or small, loud or intimate; we adapt to every wedding with presence, sincerity, and skill. Our team includes a mix of full-time members and long-term Freelancers, built over years of work and trust. Whether it’s your thousand-guest celebration or a quiet ceremony under the stars, we’re here to tell your story with honesty and heart.
Because at Chhabi, we don’t just capture what’s in front of us
We reflect what’s real. Just like a chhabi in a mirror — soft, true, and made to last.
