Serving New Malden
New Malden is a diverse south-west London area. We are used to multi-venue days throughout Greater London, moving smoothly between Kingston, Worcester Park and Raynes Park. Whether your mandapam is in New Malden itself or elsewhere across Greater London, we plan the day around your venues.
We make sure the families are in the story too, not just the couple at the mandapam. We move quietly around the mandapam, capturing the thali tying as it happens rather than staging it. A long lens and a light touch let us capture the sacred muhurtham from a respectful distance from the homam.
Couples come to us from right across London and the surrounding area, and New Malden is firmly on our patch. New Malden is a diverse south-west London area, and we know its venues well. We also cover nearby Barking and Dagenham and Barnet. We are at home at New Malden-area venues such as The Royal Oak.
New Malden is a diverse south-west London area home to the largest Korean community in Europe, with many Korean shops and restaurants earning it the nickname Little Korea. New Malden station is on the South Western Main Line with direct trains to London Waterloo. For portraits away from the celebration, Beverley Park, an open green space with sports pitches and a playground works beautifully, and The concentration of Korean businesses along the High Street and Burlington Road, known as Koreatown adds a real sense of place.

What we offer
The groom's playful mock-pilgrimage that opens the ceremony, photographed with all of its humour and warmth.
The music of the nadaswaram and thavil that carries the sacred moments, captured as it plays.
At home with Iyer, Iyengar and South Indian Brahmin customs and their order of events.
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 ammi midithal and the paalikai each have their place, and we capture them as they happen.
We photograph the warmth of the two families meeting at the sammandhi mariyathai. The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention. The mehndi, the nichayathartham and the nalangu each carry their own mood, and we photograph them all.

The whole celebration
Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them. The muhurtham is often set for the very early morning, so the wedding day begins while it is still dark.
We stay through the evening to capture the reception, from the grand entrance to the last guest. For the busiest days, a second photographer covers two moments at once, the ceremony and the guests.
Why choose us
We have built our reputation on reliability, warmth and a genuine love of the Tamil wedding day. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a Tamil muhurtham surprises us.
From London we reach New Malden easily, and we know the kalyana mandapams of Greater London well. We factor in travel and the early muhurtham start carefully, so we are in position before the nadaswaram begins.

Where we travel
Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the early muhurtham timings in advance. Wherever your kalyana mandapam is across London and the surrounding area, we will be there in good time for the auspicious muhurtham.
