Tamil Wedding Photographer in Richmond upon Thames

Serving Richmond upon Thames

Tamil wedding photographer in Richmond upon Thames

Richmond upon Thames is a riverside south-west London borough with royal parks. We regularly photograph Tamil weddings throughout Kingston upon Thames, Hounslow and the surrounding part of Greater London. From Richmond upon Thames we cover weddings right across Greater London, at temples, kalyana mandapams and banqueting suites.

We move quietly around the mandapam, capturing the thali tying as it happens rather than staging it. We read the rhythm of a Tamil celebration and are always in position for the maalai maatral and the saptapadi. We capture the emotion honestly, from the laughter of the mehndi to the tenderness of the maangalya dharanam.

Much of our work takes us across Greater London; Richmond upon Thames, a riverside south-west London borough with royal parks, and the towns around it, including Kingston upon Thames, Hounslow, are very familiar to us. We also cover nearby Ruislip Manor and Ruislip. Local Tamil wedding venues we know near Richmond upon Thames include York House, The Bingham Riverhouse and The Petersham Hotel.

A riverside south-west London borough famous for its royal parks and Thames-side setting. Served by Richmond station on the London Underground District line, South Western Railway and London Overground. We often take couples to Richmond Park, with wide open grassland, ponds and ancient trees for outdoor sessions for a few quiet portraits, and Richmond Park, a Royal Park and National Nature Reserve home to herds of deer is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

Sacred moments, captured with respect

The saptapadi, the seven steps the couple take together, completes the marriage, and we photograph it with reverence. The nadaswaram and thavil announce the sacred moments, and we are in position when they sound. The blessings of the elders and the sammandhi mariyathai close the ceremony, and we capture them with warmth.

We photograph the maalai maatral, the exchange of garlands, with all of its energy and laughter. From the henna of the mehndi to the songs of the oonjal, the events set the tone for the wedding. The nalangu, the playful post-wedding games between the couple and their families, is full of warmth and fun.
