Ambani family, Nayanthara wedding photographer is an IIM graduate. Who is Joseph Radhik? Know about his career, educational qualifications

He’s the man behind the lens capturing some of India’s most extravagant love stories—from the grandeur of the Ambani celebrations to the intimate charm of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding. But did you know Joseph Radhik is also an IIM Indore graduate who once walked the corporate path before turning shutterbug extraordinaire? Recently, he captured the attention of the internet with his spectacular and electrifying image of lightning-lit Mumbai skies. With a camera in hand and an eye for magic, he turned a hobby into a headline-making career.

His career

Joseph Radhik, co-founder of Stories by Joseph Radhik, is one of the most sought-after wedding photographers in the country today. Known for transforming big moments into timeless memories, he has shot high-profile weddings like that of PV Sindhu and Venkata Datta Sai, Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan, and the much-talked-about second pre-wedding bash of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant aboard a Mediterranean luxury cruise.

Education Qualifications

But before he became the go-to name for celeb nuptials, Joseph was cracking CAT exams and climbing the corporate ladder. A graduate in engineering from Osmania University, he went on to earn his PGDM from IIM Indore. He spent four years in a typical corporate job before making what he calls the “leap” into wedding photography.
