The Nalangu
The playful post-wedding games between the couple and their families, captured with fun.
Award-winning Tamil wedding photographer in Redditch, covering the whole celebration, from the first nichayathartham to the final nalangu, captured as it happens and never staged.
Serving Redditch
Redditch is a Worcestershire town near Birmingham. We photograph Tamil weddings across Worcestershire, including Bromsgrove, Studley and Alvechurch, at temples, kalyana mandapams and banqueting suites. From grand banqueting suites to intimate temple ceremonies, we are at home in every South Indian setting.
The nadaswaram, the jasmine and the homam fire all have their place, and we photograph each of them. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of the mandapam rituals. We anticipate each ritual, so the kashi yatra, the oonjal and the saptapadi are never missed.
From the muhurtham to the reception, we keep the day flowing across Worcestershire, and Redditch, a Worcestershire town near Birmingham, is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Bromsgrove and Worcester. Redditch and the towns around it offer venues such as Old Rectory House, Southcrest Manor and Bordesley Park, all familiar to us.
Redditch is a Worcestershire town that grew as a centre of the needle and fishing tackle manufacturing industry, later expanded as a New Town. Redditch railway station is the southern terminus of the Cross City Line to Birmingham New Street and Lichfield, with the M42 close by. When there is time for couple portraits, Arrow Valley Country Park, with its lake and open parkland along the River Arrow is a favourite, and Forge Mill Needle Museum and the ruins of medieval Bordesley Abbey makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
The playful post-wedding games between the couple and their families, captured with fun.
Discreet, respectful coverage around the Iyer and Iyengar priests and the homam fire.
Beautifully bound albums built around the thali tying and the muhurtham, to pass down the family.
Every tradition
We are ready for the moment the thali, the mangalsutra, is tied around the bride's neck. The kashi yatra, the groom's playful mock-pilgrimage, opens the ceremony with laughter, and we are ready for it. We work quietly around the priests so the ceremony at the mandapam is never disturbed.
We document the nichayathartham and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration. The reception is the joyful finale, with the couple greeting hundreds of guests.

The whole celebration
A multi-day Tamil wedding can run across two or three days, and we plan our coverage around all of them. The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration.
The wedding day itself is a journey, from the early muhurtham and the kashi yatra to the saptapadi and the reception. Whether the wedding and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.
Why choose us
We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from an intimate temple ceremony to several hundred guests. We know the rhythm of a mandapam ceremony by heart, so the thali tying is always captured.
We photograph Tamil weddings throughout the Midlands, and Redditch is firmly within the area we cover. We cover the Midlands and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield for the muhurtham on request.

Where we travel
Distance is never a problem; reaching your temple, your kalyana mandapam and your reception is simply part of how we work. Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the early muhurtham timings in advance.
