Hindu Wedding Photographer in Princes Risborough

Serving Princes Risborough

Twenty five years of Hindu weddings, now in Princes Risborough

Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp. The mandirs, hotel ballrooms and marquee sites of Buckinghamshire are familiar ground for us, and we have worked at a good number of the halls near Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Wendover. During the varmala we watch the hands and the eyes, so the teasing lift, the near miss and the finished garland exchange are all there when you look back at the set.

Across the mehndi and sangeet nights we blend into the celebration, photographing the music, the dancing and the henna up close without ever staging the fun. We photograph the details that carry meaning, the mangalsutra, the sindoor, the tied gathbandhan, close and clear, so the significance of each ritual is not lost. Our second photographer covers the reactions while the first stays with you, so the tears and smiles of your parents during the pheras are captured as they land.

We know Princes Risborough and the area around it well. Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp, and we photograph Hindu weddings here and nearby in Chalfont St Peter and Denham. Princes Risborough and the towns around it offer venues such as Princes Risborough Golf Club and Notley Tythe Barn, all familiar to us.

Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp, often described as a gateway to the Chilterns. Princes Risborough station is on the Chiltern Main Line and is also the terminus of the Chinnor and Princes Risborough heritage railway. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Whiteleaf Hill, the National Trust chalk grassland and viewpoint overlooking the town, and Whiteleaf Cross, the chalk cross cut into the hillside above the town gives the day a strong sense of Princes Risborough.

Every Hindu ritual

Every prayer, blessing and phera in Princes Risborough

We photograph the seven pheras around the sacred fire closely but unobtrusively, following the vows and the quiet glances between you as the priest leads each round of the ritual. The mangalpheras move quickly, and we anticipate each turn around the fire so the rings of the ritual, the trailing dupatta and the priest's guidance all sit clearly in the pictures. As the sindoor is applied and the mangalsutra tied, we photograph the closeness of the moment, the expressions and the hands, treating it with the reverence it holds for your families.

The garba and raas can run for hours, and we pace ourselves with it, photographing the shifting circles and the colour so the last dance looks as alive as the first. From the haldi to the vidaai we photograph the full run of your events, so the days flow together as one story rather than a set of separate occasions. During the vidaai we stay a step back, photographing the goodbyes, the rice thrown over your shoulder and the drive away, holding the weight of the moment with respect.
