Serving Maple Cross
Maple Cross is a Hertfordshire village in the Three Rivers district. Across Mill End, Sarratt and the rest of Hertfordshire, we cover the baraat, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. From Maple Cross we cover weddings right across Hertfordshire, at temples, hotels, marquees and banqueting suites.
We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the agni as faithfully as the bhangra. Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own wedding. We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally.
From the mandap to the reception, we keep the day flowing across Hertfordshire, and Maple Cross is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Mill End and Oxhey. Local Hindu wedding venues we know near Maple Cross include The Grove, The Waterside Venue and Moor Park Golf Club.
A small Hertfordshire village on the western fringe of Rickmansworth in the Three Rivers district, made up largely of post-war housing. Sits beside junction 17 of the M25 motorway on the A412 Denham Way. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Maple Lodge Nature Reserve in the Colne Valley Regional Park, and The Cross Inn, a seventeenth-century former coaching inn gives the day a strong sense of Maple Cross.

What we offer
From the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and saptapadi around the agni, every ritual and its timing understood.
A sneak preview soon after the wedding, with your full gallery and album to follow.
At home with the mandvo, the pithi, the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras.
Every tradition
We work quietly around the pandit so the ceremony at the mandap is never disturbed. We keep our distance during the most solemn moments and step in only for the joyful ones. We photograph the lighting of the havan and the blessings of the pandit with respect.
The dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy. For Gujarati families, we know the mandvo, the grah shanti and the pithi, and photograph each with care. The haldi is full of colour and play, and often holds the warmest, most natural moments.

The whole celebration
Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them. We arrive in good time for each pre-wedding event and stay until the celebrations wind down.
For the busiest days, a second photographer covers two moments at once, the baraat and the bridal prep. Whether the wedding and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.
Why choose us
Families return to us, and recommend us, because we treat every ritual as it deserves. We understand how much the day means, and we photograph it with the care it deserves.
We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire. We are London-based and travel across Hertfordshire and the wider region for Hindu weddings.

Where we travel
We are used to celebrations spread across several venues, and keep the day flowing between them. We factor in travel and timings carefully, so we are always where we need to be.

Most Hindu weddings run from the morning preparations through to the reception, so full-day coverage works best. For multi-day celebrations we tailor the hours to your events.
Yes. We understand that the auspicious muhurat sets the pace of the ceremony, and we plan our coverage around it so the pheras and saptapadi are always captured calmly and on time.
Yes. We travel to Maple Cross and across Hertfordshire for Hindu weddings. The mandap ceremony and its many events are a speciality and distance is never a problem.
