The Mandap Ceremony
From the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and saptapadi around the agni, every ritual and its timing understood.
Gujarati and Hindu wedding photography in Shenley, from the lighting of the havan to the giving of the sindoor and mangalsutra, with an unobtrusive documentary eye and heirloom albums.
Serving Shenley
Shenley is a village with country-house wedding venues. Hindu families throughout Radlett, Borehamwood and London Colney trust us with their celebrations, large and small. From Shenley we cover weddings right across Hertfordshire, at temples, hotels, marquees and banqueting suites.
We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless, beautifully lit portraits. We make sure the families are in the story too, not just the couple. We bring a long lens and a light touch, so the most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance.
We are often in Shenley for Hindu weddings, and from London the area, taking in Radlett, Borehamwood and London Colney, is an easy journey. We also photograph in nearby London Colney and Ware.

What we offer
From the jaimala and kanyadaan to the pheras and saptapadi around the agni, every ritual and its timing understood.
The haldi, mehndi and sangeet, where the warmest, most natural moments often happen.
The milni, the blessings and the ashirwad, so the whole gathering is remembered.
Every tradition
The exchange of garlands high above the guests is a moment of laughter and joy, and we are ready for it. The saptapadi, the seven steps the couple take together, seals the marriage, and we photograph it with reverence. We photograph the couple's first steps as husband and wife around the sacred fire.
The haldi is full of colour and play, and often holds the warmest, most natural moments. The day often opens with a Ganesh puja for an auspicious start, and we are there for it. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration.

The whole celebration
Many Hindu weddings begin days before the wedding with the Ganesh puja, the haldi and a mehndi. We arrive in good time for each pre-wedding event and stay until the celebrations wind down.
Whether the wedding and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it. 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. Experience means we are ready for the muhurat timing, the early starts and the precise order of rituals.
We cover the Home Counties and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request. We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire.

Where we travel
From our London base, Shenley and the rest of Hertfordshire are an easy, familiar journey. We photograph across Hertfordshire regularly, and travelling to Shenley is second nature.
