Serving the City of London

Iyer and Iyengar weddings in the City of London

the City of London is the historic financial heart of the capital. We regularly photograph Tamil weddings throughout Camden, Islington and the surrounding part of Greater London. We know the venues of London and the surrounding area well, and move easily between the temple and the reception.

A long lens and a light touch let us capture the sacred muhurtham from a respectful distance from the homam. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the jasmine and the thali alike. We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the homam as faithfully as the nalangu.

We know the City of London, the historic financial heart of the capital, and the surrounding part of Greater London well, having photographed Tamil weddings throughout Camden, Islington. We are often in nearby Eastcote and Enfield too. Close to the City of London, we have worked at venues including Merchant Taylors' Hall, Painters' Hall and Ironmongers' Hall.

The City of London is the capital's historic financial district, known as the Square Mile and governed by the City of London Corporation. Served by Bank and Liverpool Street stations, with the Central, Northern, Circle and Elizabeth lines all running through it. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Postman's Park, a quiet green space near St Paul's with mature trees and benches, and St Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren gives the day a strong sense of the City of London.

Every tradition

Sacred moments, captured with respect

For Iyer and Iyengar families, we know the rituals and their timing and photograph each as you keep it. At the heart of a Tamil wedding is the maangalya dharanam, the tying of the thali that seals the marriage. We photograph the couple's first steps together around the sacred homam fire.

We document the nichayathartham and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us. The paalikai, when the seed pots are prepared, is a quiet, lovely ritual we cover with a gentle eye. The sumangali prarthanai gathers the married women of the family in blessing, and we photograph it with care.

The whole celebration

A multi-day celebration in the City of London

A multi-day Tamil wedding can run across two or three days, and we plan our coverage around all of them. The nichayathartham and mehndi are warm, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come.

The wedding day itself is a journey, from the early muhurtham and the kashi yatra to the saptapadi and the reception. Because the muhurtham is early, we are ready and in position long before the auspicious hour arrives.

Why choose us

The right photographer for your the City of London wedding

We are award-winning photographers with a long history of Tamil and South Indian mandapam weddings. The very early muhurtham holds no fear for us; we are used to being ready before the nadaswaram sounds.

We cover London and the surrounding area and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield for the muhurtham on request. We travel happily across Greater London for the whole celebration, from the kashi yatra to the reception.
