What we offer

Tamil wedding coverage in Kingston upon Thames

01

The Nadaswaram

The music of the nadaswaram and thavil that carries the sacred moments, captured as it plays.

02

Pre-Wedding Events

The nichayathartham, mehndi and sumangali prarthanai, where the warmest moments often happen.

03

Documentary Storytelling

Calm, unobtrusive coverage that captures the muhurtham and the mandapam as you lived them, never staged.

Every tradition

From nichayathartham to grihapravesam

At the heart of a Tamil wedding is the maangalya dharanam, the tying of the thali that seals the marriage. We know the order of the mandapam rituals by heart, so we are always in position. For Iyer and Iyengar families, we know the rituals and their timing and photograph each as you keep it.

We document the nichayathartham and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us. The mehndi is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals.
