Hindu Wedding Photographer in Esher

Nothing that would affect your photographs. We use professional camera bodies and carry complete backup cameras and lenses at all times, so one piece of failing kit never halts the coverage. Every shot is also written to two memory cards at once as we go. A wedding day is unrepeatable, which is exactly why this redundancy is built into our standard way of working. Venues we know near Esher include Sandown Park Racecourse and Painshill Park.

Absolutely, the full arc of the day. We start with the preparations, remain for the baraat, the mandap ceremony and all the rituals, and continue into the reception and first dances. Because Hindu ceremonies move to their own tempo, we never clock-watch; we are with you until everything winds down and the complete story of the day has been told. Open air sessions near Esher tend to use Claremont Landscape Garden, a National Trust garden with a turf amphitheatre and serpentine lake just outside Esher.

Very much so. We know the jaimala is a happy, sometimes cheeky moment as the couple garland each other, and we watch for the laughter and the raising of the groom. The kanyadaan holds much deeper emotion, the bride's parents entrusting her hand, so we work quietly and tenderly, letting the family feel respected as we capture it. Esher and neighbouring Claygate, Hersham and Surbiton are all covered.

Absolutely, and they are a real treat to cover for our Esher couples. All that colour, the clack of the dandiya sticks and the constant motion play right into our documentary style. We get down low and move among the dancers to hold on to the energy, then pull back for the sweeping shots of the whole floor turning.

We do, and we relish them. There is an intimacy to the mehndi that suits detail work and soft portraits, and a warmth to the sangeet full of performance and laughter. Covering both deepens the record of your celebration, and couples often tell us the ease of these nights gave them some of their happiest, truest photographs. For Esher bookings, getting here is simple: Esher railway station on the South West Main Line, about 14 miles from London Waterloo, served by South Western Railway.

We keep it to a bare minimum near the sacred fire. Both respect for the ritual and the beauty of natural light lead us to rely on fast lenses and the venue's own light rather than flash around the agni and mandap. Should the setting be very dark, we bring in light quietly and unobtrusively, careful never to interrupt the priest or the prayers. Locally in Esher that takes in Sandown Park Racecourse, a well known horse racing venue in Esher.

Rather than counting hours, we shape coverage around your real schedule, because Hindu ceremonies seldom slot into a tidy time frame. A full day usually means we are with you from the morning getting-ready all the way to the evening reception. And when the timings move around on the day, which they often do, we move with them. Outdoors in Esher we like Claremont Landscape Garden, a National Trust garden with a turf amphitheatre and serpentine lake just outside Esher.
