How is a Hindu wedding photographed?

A Hindu wedding is photographed around a fixed sequence of rituals: the baraat arrival and milni, the jaimala garland exchange, the kanyadaan, the pheras around the sacred agni beneath the mandap, the saptapadi and the vidaai farewell. A Ganesh puja, haldi, mehndi and sangeet usually come on the days before. Kaushik Bathia covers Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian Hindu weddings from a studio established in 2001, working around the pandit and the havan fire without interrupting the ceremony. He covers London and the UK from the Northwood HA6 studio, with coverage from £750. Marrying in the capital? See our Hindu wedding photographer London page. A second photographer is available for the largest events, and we travel wherever your celebration takes place.

Jana A., Google review, 2025

Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.

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 plans around 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. Nothing is missed, and nobody has to pause the ceremony to explain what comes next.

Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian celebrations each keep their own customs, from a Gujarati pithi and mandvo to a Punjabi milni and a Marwari toran. Before the day we go through your family's rituals with you, then shape the 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. Fine-art albums are hand-finished so your gallery becomes an heirloom. Our town pages cover Hindu weddings in Leicester and Birmingham, celebrations closer to our Northwood studio in Harrow, Wembley and Watford, and south London weddings in Croydon. 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.

Good to know

Hindu wedding photography, frequently asked questions

Hindu wedding coverage starts from £750 and is usually quoted per event or as a multi-day package. The celebration can span a Ganesh puja, haldi, mehndi and sangeet before the ceremony itself, then the reception after it. What moves the figure is the number of days, how many events fall on each day, whether a second photographer covers the bride and groom at the same time while the baraat arrives, the travel involved if the mandap and the reception sit at different venues, and whether you add a hand-finished album. Our guide to Asian wedding photographer costs in London breaks down what shapes a quote; send us your dates and event list and we will price your day exactly.

Yes. We are based at our Northwood studio in North West London, and we cover Hindu weddings across the UK, including Leicester and Birmingham. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.

We photograph Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and North Indian Hindu weddings, and the customs differ from one to the next. From a Gujarati pithi and mandvo to a Punjabi milni and a Marwari toran, we adapt our coverage to your family's specific rituals and regional traditions.

Book as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. Popular and auspicious dates, especially summer weekends, often go a year or more ahead, but shorter notice is always worth asking about. Tell us your date and we will confirm availability straight away.

Yes. We design hand-finished, fine-art albums that turn your gallery into an heirloom to pass down through the family. Albums are chosen after the wedding once you have seen your images, and we guide you through sizes, materials and the story-led layout of the day.

We plan around the pheras and saptapadi, the kanyadaan, hastamelap and the tying of the mangalsutra, and we agree the order with your priest beforehand so we are in position for each. That way every ritual is photographed cleanly without interrupting your priest or asking the family to pause.
