Tamil wedding coverage in Birmingham

Birmingham is one of the UK's great Asian wedding cities, with countless temples, gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting venues. We regularly photograph Tamil weddings throughout Smethwick, Handsworth and Edgbaston and the surrounding part of the West Midlands. We are comfortable in every setting, from a grand kalyana mandapam to a quiet family temple.

We move quietly around the mandapam, capturing the thali tying as it happens rather than staging it. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of the mandapam rituals. We let the muhurtham unfold at its own pace and meet it with a quiet, watchful eye.

From our London base we travel across the West Midlands for Tamil weddings, and Birmingham, one of the UK's great Asian wedding cities, with countless temples, gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting venues, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Coventry and Wolverhampton. Local Tamil wedding venues we know near Birmingham include Al Miraj Banqueting Suite, Grand Occasions Banqueting Hall and The National Conference Centre.

Birmingham is the largest city in the UK outside London and one of the most ethnically diverse, with long established South Asian communities in areas such as Sparkbrook and Handsworth. Birmingham New Street is a major national rail hub, and the city sits at the heart of the motorway network near the M6 and M5. When there is time for couple portraits, Cannon Hill Park and the nearby Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston is a favourite, and The Library of Birmingham and the Grade II listed Council House in Victoria Square makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

From the muhurtham to the thali

For Iyer and Iyengar families, we know the rituals and their timing and photograph each as you keep it. From the kanyadaanam to the saptapadi, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We know the order of the mandapam rituals by heart, so we are always in position.

The reception portraits and the receiving line are covered to the very last guest. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration. We photograph the maalai maatral, the exchange of garlands, with all of its energy and laughter.
