The Eye Behind Dream Stories
Photographer, founder, and storyteller — creating timeless imagery from the moments that matter.
AN EDITORIAL APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, CREATED FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY
At The Dream Stories, photography is more than documentation. It is an art of observation — of seeing the beauty in the fleeting, the intimate, and the unexpected. From grand celebrations to the quiet moments in between, we approach every wedding with intention, allowing genuine emotion and natural connection to lead the frame. With a refined visual language and an appreciation for detail, we create photographs that feel timeless, personal, and effortlessly elegant. Your day, as beautifully as it felt.

Ravi Barvaliya
Ravi started The Dream Stories in 2014 during his college years, driven by a deep passion for photography and a desire to capture moments with an artistic touch. What began as a personal pursuit has grown into a dedicated wedding and travel photography studio based in Surat, India.
He specializes in wedding and travel photography, with a keen eye for composition, light and emotion. Through the lens of his camera, Ravi aims to capture the innate beauty of the people and places he encounters — crafting visual stories that feel honest and lasting.
When he isn't shooting weddings, he's usually exploring new destinations or refining the studio's editing and storytelling process.
“Every wedding is a story. My job isn't to pose it — it's to notice it, and make sure it's never forgotten.”
The Dream Stories Timeline
Where It All Began
I started learning photography alongside college in 2014. What began as a curiosity slowly became a passion — learning to understand light, composition, people, and the stories hidden in everyday moments.
From Passion to Purpose
Two years after discovering photography, I took the leap to start my first studio with partners. It was the beginning of turning a personal passion into something bigger — a creative space built around photography and storytelling.
A Dream Takes Shape
I wanted to create a wedding photography company that could go beyond the usual — to travel, discover new places, and tell stories wherever love took us. In 2018, that vision became The Dream Stories, marking the beginning of our journey into destination weddings.
The Decision to Tell Stories
I stepped away from the studio and chose a different path — to focus entirely on weddings. From that point on, the couple's story became the priority: their people, their emotions, their little moments, and everything in between. The Dream Stories began to feel like more than a name. It became a vision.
Built on Stories, Grown on Trust
In 2022, we opened our own office under The Dream Stories. By then, countless couples had trusted us with some of the most important days of their lives. Their genuine happiness, kind words, and honest reviews became a reminder that what we were creating meant more than just photographs. We were building something on stories, relationships, and trust.
The Story Continues
Today, The Dream Stories spans 550+ cities and countless couples across India and beyond. From intimate celebrations to destination weddings, what matters most isn't the numbers — it's the trust behind every story, every couple, and every frame.
And Yours Is Next
Every wedding is different. Every couple has a story worth remembering.
