Tamil Wedding Photographer in Chalfont St Peter

Serving Chalfont St Peter

Documenting Tamil weddings in Chalfont St Peter

Chalfont St Peter is a picturesque Buckinghamshire village. Across Gerrards Cross, Denham and the rest of Buckinghamshire, we cover the muhurtham, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. We photograph at temples, kalyana mandapams and banqueting halls right across Buckinghamshire.

We photograph with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind the thali and the saptapadi. We read the rhythm of a Tamil celebration and are always in position for the maalai maatral and the saptapadi. A long lens and a light touch let us capture the sacred muhurtham from a respectful distance from the homam.

Much of our work takes us across Buckinghamshire; Chalfont St Peter, a picturesque Buckinghamshire village, and the towns around it, including Gerrards Cross, Denham, are very familiar to us. We also cover nearby Denham and High Wycombe. Venues we know well in and near Chalfont St Peter include The Greyhound Inn, The Bull Hotel and Denham Grove.

A large Buckinghamshire village described as the gateway to the Chiltern Hills, with the chalk stream river Misbourne flowing through it. The A413 links the village towards Amersham and Gerrards Cross, with Gerrards Cross station on the Chiltern Main Line nearby. For portraits away from the celebration, Gold Hill Common, around 16 acres of open green and small woodland near the village centre works beautifully, and St Peter's parish church, a Grade II listed building dating from 1715 beside the Misbourne adds a real sense of place.

Every tradition

Sacred moments, captured with respect

We know the order of the mandapam rituals by heart, so we are always in position. From the kanyadaanam to the saptapadi, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We photograph the kanyadaanam, the giving away of the bride, at the mandapam with quiet care.

The nadaswaram and thavil players fill the venue with music, and we photograph them at work. We photograph the warmth of the two families meeting at the sammandhi mariyathai. The oonjal swing, the singing and the rice balls offered to the couple are full of family warmth.
