A wedding specialism

Every ritual, beautifully told

A Hindu wedding is a devotional, joyful celebration, built around the mandap and the sacred agni and surrounded by days of events, and it deserves a photographer who understands each one. We are completely at home with Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian Hindu weddings, from the Ganesh puja, haldi and sangeet to the pheras, the saptapadi and the vidaai.

With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, we work calmly and unobtrusively around the pandit, the havan fire and the lively baraat, with second photographers for the largest events. Distance is never a problem. We travel wherever your celebration takes place.

A wedding specialism

Hindu wedding photography, every ritual understood

A Hindu wedding is a joyful, days-long celebration of family, faith and colour, and it deserves a photographer who already knows the rhythm of the day. We photograph the whole story, from the Ganesh puja and haldi to the mehndi, sangeet, baraat, the sacred fire at the mandap and the vidaai, so nothing is missed and nobody has to pause the ceremony to explain what comes next.

With twenty-five years and more than 1,200 weddings behind us, rated 4.8 from 539 reviews, we work calmly and unobtrusively across Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian celebrations. We understand the differences, from a Gujarati pithi and mandvo to a Punjabi milni and a Marwari toran, and we shape our coverage around your priest, your family and your timings rather than a fixed shot list.

How we work

How we photograph a Hindu wedding

We arrive early for the getting-ready and the family blessings, then move quietly through the day so the pheras, the kanyadaan and the tears at the vidaai are captured as they happen. For larger baraats and multi-venue days we bring a second photographer, and a female photographer is available for the more intimate haldi and mehndi moments. Fine-art albums are hand-finished so your gallery becomes an heirloom.

We are booked across the UK for Hindu weddings in Leicester and Birmingham, and closer to our Northwood studio for celebrations in Harrow, Wembley, Watford and Croydon. Distance is never a problem, and Hindu weddings sit within our wider Asian wedding photography and wedding work.

If you are still planning the day, our Hindu wedding photography guide walks through each ritual, our Asian wedding timeline helps you order the events, and our guide to Asian wedding photographer costs in London explains what shapes a quote.
