Serving Horsham
Horsham is a West Sussex market town with country venues. Across West Sussex, including Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater, we photograph the colour and devotion of every South Indian ritual. We are comfortable in every setting, from a grand kalyana mandapam to a quiet family temple.
We follow your family's customs closely, Iyer, Iyengar or Sri Lankan Tamil, and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We keep the calm of the mandapam and the energy of the reception in equal measure. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the jasmine and the thali alike.
From our London base we travel across West Sussex for Tamil weddings, and Horsham, a West Sussex market town with country venues, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Crawley and Plymouth. In and around Horsham, we have photographed at venues such as South Lodge, Random Hall Hotel and Cisswood House Hotel.
Horsham is a West Sussex market town whose pedestrianised Carfax has hosted a market since medieval times and still holds a Saturday market with a bandstand for summer performances. Horsham railway station, on the line to London Victoria and the south coast, has served the town since 1848, with the current listed station building dating from 1938. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Horsham Park, a large public park with a boating lake close to the town centre, with The Capitol Theatre in the town centre close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
Calm, unobtrusive coverage that captures the muhurtham and the mandapam as you lived them, never staged.
The seven steps the couple take together around the homam, photographed as the marriage is sealed.
Beautifully bound albums built around the thali tying and the muhurtham, to pass down the family.
Every tradition
We work quietly around the priests so the ceremony at the mandapam is never disturbed. The thali, tied to the sound of the nadaswaram, is the sacred heart of the ceremony, and we capture it close. The nadaswaram and thavil announce the sacred moments, and we are in position when they sound.
We photograph the warmth of the two families meeting at the sammandhi mariyathai. The grihapravesam welcomes the bride into her new home, and we are there for it. The nadaswaram and thavil players fill the venue with music, and we photograph them at work.

The whole celebration
The mehndi brings an intimate evening of henna and laughter before the wedding day itself. We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations.
We know the order and timing of the wedding day, so we are always in position for each ritual. Whether the wedding and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.
Why choose us
Families return to us because we treat the homam and the saptapadi with the reverence they deserve. We have photographed South Indian mandapam ceremonies across the country for more than two decades.
We cover the Home Counties and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield for the muhurtham on request. We photograph across West Sussex regularly, and travelling to a kalyana mandapam in Horsham is second nature.

Where we travel
We are used to celebrations spread across a temple and a banqueting suite, and keep the day flowing between them. We travel happily across West Sussex for the whole celebration, from the kashi yatra to the reception.

Good to know
Yes, and they are among our favourite parts of the celebration. The oonjal swing with its songs, and the playful nalangu games between the two families afterwards, are full of warmth and laughter, and we capture every bit of it.
Yes. Our style is mainly documentary, capturing the day as it happens, but we will also gather a handful of timeless couple and family portraits, so your album holds both the natural energy and a few quieter, elegant images.
Yes. We know the flow of a Tamil ceremony by heart, from the kashi yatra and the maalai maatral to the oonjal, the kanyadaanam, the thali tying and the saptapadi, so we are always ready for each one in turn.
Yes. Many Tamil muhurthams are set for the very early morning, sometimes before dawn, and we are used to it. We arrive in good time and are fully ready, so the sacred hour is captured calmly and without any rush.
You will receive a small preview soon after the day, followed by your full edited gallery. We then design a hand-finished, fine-art album that holds the whole story of your celebration, from the first event through to the reception.
