The Mandap Ceremony
From the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and saptapadi around the agni, every ritual and its timing understood.
Experienced Hindu wedding photographer serving Knebworth, from the kanyadaan and hastamelap to the saptapadi and the mangalsutra, with hand-finished albums made to pass down the generations.
Serving Knebworth
Knebworth is home to the grand Knebworth House, a celebrated wedding venue. We photograph Hindu weddings across Hertfordshire, including Stevenage, Welwyn and Hitchin, at mandaps, temples and banqueting halls. Whether your mandap is in Knebworth itself or elsewhere across Hertfordshire, we plan the day around your venues.
We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally. Our style is unobtrusive, so the day feels like yours and never a photoshoot. We document each event as it happens, so your gallery feels true to the day you lived.
From our London base we travel across Hertfordshire for Hindu weddings, and Knebworth, home to the grand Knebworth House, a celebrated wedding venue, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Welwyn and Wheathampstead.

What we offer
From the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and saptapadi around the agni, every ritual and its timing understood.
The seven steps around the holy fire and the giving of the sindoor and mangalsutra, captured with reverence.
Discreet, respectful coverage around the pandit and the sacred fire.
Every tradition
From the kanyadaan to the saptapadi, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We photograph the couple's first steps as husband and wife around the sacred fire. At the heart of a Hindu wedding is the agni, the sacred fire that witnesses the marriage.
We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration. The vidaai, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day.

The whole celebration
The haldi and mehndi are intimate, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come. A multi-day Hindu wedding can run across three or four days, and we plan our coverage around all of them.
On the wedding day, the baraat, the mandap ceremony and the pheras build to the vidaai and the reception. From the baraat to the last guest, we follow the whole day at its own pace.
Why choose us
We understand how much the day means, and we photograph it with the care it deserves. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a Hindu ceremony surprises us.
We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire. We factor in travel and timings carefully, so we are always where we need to be.

Where we travel
From London we reach Knebworth easily, and we know the venues of Hertfordshire well. We cover the whole of the UK for weddings, so distance never stands in the way.
