Narnaware

"At 7 Knots, we don't just capture weddings; we document the knots of love, heritage, and human connection that tie a family together."

Avinash Narnaware’s journey is a thoughtful blend of structure, creativity, storytelling, and the instinct to build brands from the ground up. His foundation began in engineering, where he first pursued a Diploma in Civil Engineering from KDK College, Nagpur, followed by a B.Tech in Civil Engineering from Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technological University at JD College of Engineering and Management, Nagpur.

Those early years shaped the way he thinks. Engineering gave him logic, discipline, systems thinking, and an eye for detail. But somewhere along the way, curiosity started pulling him toward a world that was less about blueprints and more about brands, people, content, and communication.

That curiosity led him to digital marketing training under Govind Chandak, a turning point that opened an entirely new direction in his career. What started as an interest slowly became a serious professional path, taking him from his first role as an SEO Executive at Ebizfiling Pvt. Ltd. in Ahmedabad to the fast-paced agency culture of Mumbai.

The Agency Years

At FCB Kinnect, Avinash worked at the intersection of performance, content, and brand visibility, contributing to digital growth for leading real estate and fashion brands. This phase gave him a deeper understanding of how search, content, and consumer intent come together to build a meaningful online presence.

He later joined Tonic Worldwide, where his exposure expanded across global markets including the US, UK, and Middle East. Working across diverse industries and geographies helped him understand that marketing is never one-size-fits-all. Every brand has its own context, audience, emotion, and story.

His final corporate chapter at Tilt Brand Solutions brought him closer to the world of brand strategy. Here, he worked on some of India’s recognized fintech, FMCG, entertainment, and consumer-facing brands. This phase pushed him to think beyond rankings, keywords, and search engines. It taught him to look deeper into consumer behaviour, cultural insights, brand positioning, and long-term storytelling.

Through these years, Avinash evolved from an SEO professional into a sharper brand thinker, someone who could connect performance with purpose and strategy with emotion.

The Birth of 7 Knots Wedding

While marketing shaped his professional identity, photography had always been quietly present in his life. Since his college days, Avinash was drawn to frames, emotions, people, and the beauty of unscripted moments. What began as a personal passion slowly grew into something much larger.

On Sunday, 30 March 2025, the auspicious day of Gudi Padwa, he decided to turn this passion into action by investing in his first professional camera setup. That moment marked the beginning of a new creative chapter.

Driven by the raw emotions of pre-weddings, candid celebrations, and real human connections, he founded 7 Knots Wedding, a photography brand built on authenticity rather than staged perfection. For Avinash, photography is not just about creating beautiful images. It is about preserving moments that feel honest, emotional, and timeless.

Today, 7 Knots has expanded beyond weddings and pre-weddings. Avinash now shoots commercial events, founder podcasts, fashion campaigns, lifestyle portraits, LinkedIn headshot photoshoots for professionals, personal branding shoots, and other creative visual projects.

His work brings together the precision of engineering, the strategic thinking of digital marketing, and the emotional eye of a storyteller. Every frame he creates carries a simple belief: the best stories are not forced, they are felt.

From civil engineering classrooms to brand strategy rooms, and from agency life to building his own creative identity, Avinash Narnaware’s journey reflects the courage to evolve, the discipline to learn, and the passion to create something meaningful from scratch.
