I’m Jiten Melwani!
Luxury Wedding Photographer in Aruba
But you can call me “G10”… yes, that’s how it’s pronounced!
I may just be the most easy-going guy you’ll meet. I’m basically a mixture of Chandler’s humour, Joey’s looks (or so I’ve been told) and Monica’s common sense.
So when it comes to your wedding day, I’ll make sure all your questions are answered, I’ll keep everyone entertained, fix any awkward silence or nerves with a knee-slapper joke, and most importantly, I’ll make sure I can distract your annoying Aunt Karen by asking her “how you doin’? ”... just save me if she’s a talker!
My top priority however is to connect with you and your soulmate on a deeper level than just photographer and client. I want us to know and trust each other so that you can relax on your wedding day and I’ll know how to capture your authentic love story, no BS! By the end of it all, we’ll be sending each other memes in our group chat! That’s why I absolutely love what I do.
Think about it… Your father seeing his princess in her wedding dress for the first time, your first kiss as a married couple to the cheer of your loved ones, or dancing the night away with the people that mean the most to you. Moments like these only last for a second (especially if you’re drunk), but I want you to feel and remember them forever. Let’s start your forever right here!
My Photography style is a mixture of documentarian and editorial. Which means sometimes I’ll pose you for those show-stopping photos, but most of the time I’ll be capturing everything as it happens naturally, with authentic emotion. I’ll always make it a point to ensure you feel as natural and as relaxed as possible before I take any photos. You may even here me cracking jokes in between shots, it’s like we’re just having a conversation!
My editing is timeless, vibrant, and sometimes a dramatic black and white… it all depends on what your love story is, the emotions that were there in the moment, and how I want you to feel when you look back onto your beautiful lifelong memories. It’s funny how from a simple well-edited photo you can transport yourself to that exact moment in time. Have a look…

He made the time to get to know us which was translated in the final result, as the pictures have captured our essence. Our wedding pictures are amazing, colorful and a great memory of a beautiful day. Jiten made us feel relaxed all the time, and he made sure we were taken care of. And needless to say, we recommend Jiten 100%!”
Maria & Dennis Wedding, 2024
“From start to finish everything was seamless. He did a great job at making everyone feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera on such a special day. He brought great vibes the entire day and it was truly a wonderful experience working with him. The photos turned out amazing and we will cherish for a life time!”
Erin & William Wesnofske, Wedding at Marriott Stellaris Aruba, 2024
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jiten for our wedding in Aruba. From the moment we had our first Zoom call I totally vibed with his energy and knew he was the perfect photographer to capture our big day. Jiten brought so much fun and energy to the day, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. The candid shots, in particular, were incredible—Jiten has a knack for capturing genuine emotions and turning them into lasting memories.
Beyond Jiten’s camera skills, what really stood out was how personable and funny he was. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understood our vision, and went above and beyond to make sure it was brought to life. It felt like having a friend with us on our wedding day, which made the entire experience even more special. Jiten’s fun personality became part of our and the guests memories of the night!
If you're looking for a photographer in Aruba who is not only professional and talented but also brings a joyful presence to your big day, look no further than Jiten.”

I always recommend booking at least 6 months prior to have the best chance of guaranteeing your desired date. A deposit is required to confirm your date, this ranges from 30-50% of the total cost, and is non-refundable. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks prior to the wedding day.
-
You can expect your final gallery within 8 weeks from your wedding day, sometimes faster depending on my schedule / the size of your booking. I will always try my best to also throw in a sneak peek so you have something to look back on!
-
No, you will receive all the best photos. I have had friends complain to me in the past that their wedding photographer sent them way too many photos. The good, the bad and the ugly. ALL in a single link. So when she tried to spend an evening with her family watching her wedding slideshow, all they saw was 5 of the same photo taken with eyes closed, bad lighting, etc… imagine doing that for 4000 photos… you’d never look at your wedding photos again!!!
I never send RAW files. All final photos in your gallery will be professionally and meticulously edited, and delivered to you via an online link. You can expect to receive up to 80 final photos per hour of wedding photography booked. I do not cap the total number of photos for weddings as I believe after paying a luxury price you deserve a luxury experience and I don’t charge you for any extra photos. If a photo isn’t how I would like it to be, but it’s a special memory / moment from the day, I’ll make sure you have it to remember that moment forever.
-
Yes. Once you have chosen a venue, it’s important to keep me in the loop. Even exclusive venues such as Marriott Stellaris only allow a handful of photographers to work on premises, but I am on their vendor list too.
-
Packages start at $2499. Once you inquire, you will be sent a pricing guide and a link to book a call with me. We will discuss which package may be best for you and any other services I can provide, and you’ll get a better idea about planning your wedding… I’ve helped countless couples before with freebies and wedding planning guides! You can download yours at the bottom of this page…
-
Yes, I offer both Wedding Photography & Videography services.
-
Yes, I travel for work. I currently do not charge for airfare for some destinations, as I am an avid traveller and love traveling for work! However there may be a minimum spend depending on the destination. London / Aruba both have no extra fees involved.
Inquire to see if your destination includes free travel!

1. Let’s meet👋
I will organise a call with both of you, mainly for us to get to know each other & break the ice.
You’ll help me visualize your dream wedding, and then you can leave it up to me to make your dreams come true through the lens!
I’ll help you get an idea of how many hours of coverage you’ll need, and the packages I have for you.
Booking can be done online, it’s straightforward and easy! I take a deposit online for each and every wedding, and I work on a first-come, first-served basis. As soon as you book, the date is yours! I would recommend booking between 6-12 moths in advance to ensure you are not disappointed. Then you’ll be locked in on my calendar and we start the planning process to iron out all the details and make sure it’s smooth sailing on the big day!
The step-by-step guided experience
2. Preparations⏳
Not done just yet!
I’ll make sure I have everything I need from you two before the big day. You’ll receive my wedding questionnaire which takes around 15 mins to fill out, and from this information I’ll create the official first timeline of your big day down to every 5 minutes. This will be shared with all the other vendors to make sure everyone is on the ‘same page’.
I know being a bride and groom is hard, you’ll have people asking you questions 24/7 so I’ll do this early on. After receiving your timeline you’ll also have a clear picture of what the day will look like.
I’ll make a group chat for us to casually talk and shoot questions at each other, and then our final meeting will be in person, a few days before the wedding!
Now it’s at that point where it feels like my two besties are getting married🥹
3. The Big Day is here 💒
The time has come. No pressure! (for me😂)
While you guys enjoy the best day of your life with your loved ones all around you, I am that friend you invited to the wedding who has a cool camera and is just “such a nice guy, we have to invite him!” (quoted word-for-word).
I’ll tell you if you have something in your teeth, I’ll fix your hair, and I’ll say stupid jokes to get everyone laughing and maybe I’ll even have a few drinks with you! And you’ll know and trust that all those moments I captured will be yours to enjoy for lifetimes to come.
4. Et Violà, Your Final Gallery
It’s not over yet!! We’re besties now remember?!? We’ll keep in touch after your big day up until you call me back for your first family photoshoot!
But in between all that, I’ll try my best to send you some teaser photos as soon as I can after your wedding day.
And the next big delivery will be all the cherished pictures and photo-album-worthy memories, for you to gather your family around the living room and enjoy the slideshow over dinner and some wine.
You’ll have these in highest quality, professionally edited and ready to be printed, framed, shared, sent as Christmas cards, you name it! (Who knows you might even end up on the cover of a magazine!)
Albums and prints are available through my store - with album design included, straight to your doorstep! These are made online, printed in the US and shipped to your home.
Memories
Memories are truly something special in life. I got into photography by simply being obsessed with “never missing a moment”. Every so often, I look back at all the photos of my loved ones during the happiest moments I’ve shared with them.. Through the photos I can hear their laugh, feel their hug, and even feel what I felt at that exact moment.
Your wedding day will be nothing short of the most beautiful memories of your life, surrounded by the most important people in your life. And my goal is to give you the ability to feel everything as many times over as you can, and cherish those things that make life and love so beautiful.
Family
And a tonne of FUN
I will arguably be the 3rd most important wedding guest…
Taking someone’s photograph may seem like a pretty simple task…
But…
Capturing every outpour of love and emotion on the biggest day of your life, and making sure that each time you open that wedding album you feel those same emotions come back in full effect, is something you should only trust to the very best.
Your wedding day will be nothing short of the most beautiful memories of your life, all captured by me through my camera… not missing a beat!
I’m so excited to work with you! Inquire now to see if your date is available!
Inquire for The Wedding Experience!
I will respond to Wedding Inquiries within 72 hours with a pricing guide and booking information! Please bare with me on weekends! Thank you!
