Serving Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth is a Three Rivers town. Across Chorleywood, Croxley Green and Northwood and the rest of Hertfordshire, we cover the muhurtham, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. Whether at a temple, a kalyana mandapam or a banqueting suite, we work quietly around the priests and the homam.
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. We make sure the families are in the story too, not just the couple at the mandapam.
We have photographed Tamil weddings throughout Chorleywood, Croxley Green and Northwood for many years, and Rickmansworth, a Three Rivers town, is a familiar and welcome destination. We also cover nearby Watford and Carpenders Park. In and around Rickmansworth, we have photographed at venues such as Moor Park Golf Club, Micklefield Hall and The Waterside Venue.
Rickmansworth is a Three Rivers town in Hertfordshire, set where the rivers Chess, Gade and Colne meet north west of London. Rickmansworth station is an interchange served by the London Underground Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Rickmansworth Aquadrome, with Batchworth and Bury Lakes, open grassland and woodland walks, and The Aquadrome, a lakeside park and nature reserve with lakes formed from gravel pits once dug to build the original Wembley Stadium gives the day a strong sense of Rickmansworth.

What we offer
Beautifully bound albums built around the thali tying and the muhurtham, to pass down the family.
Discreet, respectful coverage around the Iyer and Iyengar priests and the homam fire.
Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your Tamil celebration, from muhurtham to reception.
Every tradition
We are ready for the moment the thali, the mangalsutra, is tied around the bride's neck. The thali, tied to the sound of the nadaswaram, is the sacred heart of the ceremony, and we capture it close. The most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens.
We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals. The celebration often opens with the nichayathartham, the betrothal, and we are there for it. The sumangali prarthanai gathers the married women of the family in blessing, and we photograph it with care.

The whole celebration
The celebration usually builds gradually, from the quiet of the nichayathartham to the joy of the wedding morning. The mehndi brings an intimate evening of henna and laughter before the wedding day itself.
We always recommend a little time for couple portraits, often away from the bustle of the mandapam. We document the grand moments and the quiet ones in between, so nothing is lost.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years behind the lens means we know exactly what follows the maalai maatral in the order of the day. Our experience across Iyer, Iyengar and Sri Lankan Tamil weddings runs deep.
An early muhurtham often means an early start on the road, and we plan the drive to the mandapam without fuss. Distance is never a problem; reaching your temple, your kalyana mandapam and your reception is simply part of how we work.

Where we travel
We photograph across Hertfordshire regularly, and travelling to a kalyana mandapam in Rickmansworth is second nature. We are glad to discuss your temple, your mandapam and the journey between your venues when you enquire.

Good to know
Yes. We stay through the evening to capture the reception in Rickmansworth, from the couple's grand entrance and the greeting of the guests to the celebration, right to the very last person to leave.
Yes. We are comfortable photographing respectfully inside temples and kalyana mandapams, working quietly around the priests, the nadaswaram players and the homam fire, so the ceremony is captured beautifully and never disturbed.
Yes. For larger Tamil weddings we bring a second photographer, so the mandapam rituals and the guests are both fully covered, and the ceremony and the arrivals can be photographed at the same time without anything being lost.
Most Tamil weddings run from the early-morning muhurtham through to the reception, so full-day coverage works best. For multi-day celebrations with a nichayathartham and mehndi, we tailor the hours to the events that matter most to you.
Absolutely. The nichayathartham, the mehndi and the sumangali prarthanai are often where the warmest, most natural moments happen, and we are glad to cover them as part of your wedding, with the same care as the ceremony itself.
