Serving Crawley
Crawley is a Sussex town with a large South Asian community near Gatwick. We are comfortable in every setting in Horley, Horsham and Gatwick, from a lavish mandap to a quiet family puja. Whether your mandap is in Crawley itself or elsewhere across West Sussex, we plan the day around your venues.
We read the rhythm of a Hindu celebration and are always in the right place at the right time. We follow your family's customs closely and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We photograph with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind each ritual.

What we offer
The most emotional moment of the day, photographed with great sensitivity and care.
Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian Hindu weddings, with the customs understood.
Calm, unobtrusive coverage that captures the day as you lived it, never staged.
Every tradition
We know the order of the mandap rituals by heart, so we are always in position. The jaimala, when the couple exchange garlands, is a moment of pure joy we love to photograph. We are mindful of every family's customs at the mandap, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari or North Indian.
The day often opens with a Ganesh puja for an auspicious start, and we are there for it. For Gujarati families, we know the mandvo, the grah shanti and the pithi, and photograph each with care. The mehndi is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it.

The whole celebration
We can join you for a single event or follow the whole journey from the very first ritual. The early events are full of warmth and laughter, and we photograph them with the same care as the ceremony.
Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue. The best galleries are spread evenly across the day, not saved for the pheras alone.
Why choose us
Our long experience means a calm, capable presence whatever the day brings. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a Hindu ceremony surprises us.
From our London base, Crawley and the rest of West Sussex are an easy, familiar journey. We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire.

Where we travel
Wherever your events take place across the Home Counties, we will be there in good time. We cover the Home Counties and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request.

Good to know

Of course. We regularly photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings, blending Hindu traditions with another family's customs with care.
Yes. A pre-wedding or roka shoot is a lovely way to relax in front of the camera before the big day, and we are happy to arrange one at a location you love.
Very much so. We know the mandap rituals by heart, from the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and the saptapadi, and we position ourselves so the sindoor and mangalsutra are always captured.
Very. We photograph the pheras and the sacred fire from a respectful distance with quiet, long-lens work, so the ceremony is never disturbed.
