Harish has now photographed three events for my family over the past year, and I can’t imagine using anyone else. I found him via Bark while searching for a photographer for my son’s third birthday party in Connecticut last summer.
Harish traveled from New York City for the event, and the photographs were so wonderful that my mom hired him several months later for a family holiday gathering in NYC. Earlier this month, I hired him for a third time to photograph a very special surprise birthday celebration.
Harish has an incredible gift for capturing genuine moments. Looking through his galleries instantly brings me back to each event. He notices the expressions, interactions, and little details that might otherwise be forgotten, preserving them beautifully and naturally.
As impressive as Harish’s talent is, what stands out just as much is his professionalism and calm presence. From the very beginning, communication is thoughtful and responsive. Before each event, he takes the time to understand what matters most, asking about the people, moments, and details that are especially important so he can thoughtfully plan his approach. He arrives early, comes prepared, and once everything begins, blends seamlessly into the background. You hardly realize he’s there, yet somehow he never misses a meaningful moment.
His work doesn’t end when the gallery is delivered. The highlight videos he creates are wonderful, and he’s been incredibly patient helping my mom order prints despite technology not being her strong suit. He’s creating a photo album for me, and the same care and attention continues well beyond the event itself.
I couldn’t recommend Harish more highly and look forward to having him capture our family’s future milestones.

Thank you, Ariella. Photographing your family across these three celebrations has been a genuine privilege, and Lili's surprise was something special. Looking forward to the album, and to whatever milestone comes next. — Harish
Phyllis & Kevin
We were referred to Harish via a relative whose wedding photos we really liked. We hit it off right away and found him to be friendly, professional, and very helpful.
He was consistent in his communication leading up to our big day and his rates were reasonable.
The day of, he and Pammi (who assisted him) were prompt, efficient and fabulous to work with. We had a very intimate wedding and he captured the most beautiful images of us, our venue and our special moments that I could imagine. Afterward, we got some lovely shots in Central Park and he made us feel like supermodels in the way he directed us. It resulted in a fun experience and gorgeous photos that I will cherish for a lifetime.
We highly recommend Harish Jaiswal Photography!

Sarah Khan & John Barrett
My fiance and I are absolutely blown away by Harish's inspiring character and incomparable artistry. It has been our honor to not only experience the energy Harish bought behind the camera, but that which he radiates from within.
From the day he was hired until delivery of the final product, Harish has consistently gone above and beyond to keep the joy of the moment at the center of the experience. Even before the shoot, Harish went out of his way to ensure the proposal unfolded seamlessly.
Throughout the process, Harish made us feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable. He created truly breathtaking images that capture every tender detail with grace and finesse. The level of compassion, empathy, and warmth woven into the his final work has moved us both to tears.
As someone who has modeled professionally, I can honestly say Harish is one of the most talented and effective artists I have had the honor of working with. Harish's work is a gift we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we are honored to carry a piece of his artistry forever.

Ronni
I was thrilled with the photos that Harish took of me and my family! The finished pictures were exactly what I had requested and they are beautiful.
Harish was very unobtrusive and low key and he kept the shoot moving quickly. With 2 toddlers in the group that was critical. He used his talent to move us in various positions to capture our personalities so nothing looked overly posed.
Harish and his assistant was very professional and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him as a photographer!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Listening. Before I ever pick up my camera, I spend time understanding what matters most to the person in front of me — what they want to feel, what they want to remember, and what they want others to see. A great photograph isn't just technically correct. It's emotionally true. The secret is creating an environment where people feel comfortable enough to be themselves, and then being ready when that moment happens.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I always start by asking: what do you want these images to do for you? Whether it's a headshot, a wedding, or a corporate event, the purpose shapes every decision — the location, the light, the pacing, the edit. I also ask what you've loved or disliked about photos of yourself in the past, what the setting will be, and if there are specific people or moments that are non-negotiable to capture. The more I understand upfront, the better the results.
What do you love most about your job?
The moment someone sees their images for the first time. There's nothing quite like watching someone recognize themselves the way others see them — confident, present, real. Whether it's a couple reliving their wedding day or an executive finally having a headshot they're proud to use, that reaction never gets old. It's the reason I do this work.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started Harish Jaiswal Photography because I wanted to create a more personal and thoughtful photography experience. I believe clients deserve clear communication, honest guidance, and images created with care. After more than 10 years of working with clients in New York City, I'm bringing that same approach to Santa Clara and Silicon Valley, focusing on quality, meaningful relationships, and a professional experience from start to finish.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Photography sessions are scheduled by appointment and take place on-location rather than in a shared photography studio. I discuss any relevant health or accessibility concerns with clients before the session and respect applicable venue requirements. If someone is unwell, we can discuss rescheduling according to the booking agreement. My goal is to provide a comfortable, considerate, and professional photography experience.
