Pre-Wedding Events
The nichayathartham, mehndi and sumangali prarthanai, where the warmest moments often happen.
Tamil and South Indian wedding photographer in Romford, from the maalai maatral lifted high to the vows of the saptapadi, told honestly and gathered into an album to treasure.
Serving Romford
Romford is an east London town with country-house venues nearby. Across Hornchurch, Gidea Park and Collier Row and the rest of Greater London, we cover the muhurtham, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. From grand banqueting suites to intimate temple ceremonies, we are at home in every South Indian setting.
We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the jasmine and the thali alike. We let the muhurtham unfold at its own pace and meet it with a quiet, watchful eye. We document each event as it happens, from the kashi yatra to the reception, so your gallery feels true to the day.
We know Romford, an east London town with country-house venues nearby, and the surrounding part of Greater London well, having photographed Tamil weddings throughout Hornchurch, Gidea Park and Collier Row. We are often in nearby Barking and Acton too. Around Romford we regularly photograph at Maylands Golf Club, Romford Golf Club and Ingrebourne Links Golf and Country Club, among others.
Romford is a lively east London market town in the borough of Havering, with a charter market that has traded since the medieval period and country-house venues nearby. Romford station is on the Great Eastern Main Line and is served by the Elizabeth line into central London. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Raphael Park, a green space with a picturesque lake close to the town centre, and Romford Market, the historic market square in the town centre gives the day a strong sense of Romford.

What we offer
The nichayathartham, mehndi and sumangali prarthanai, where the warmest moments often happen.
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 work quietly around the priests so the ceremony at the mandapam is never disturbed. We know the order of the mandapam rituals by heart, so we are always in position. We anticipate the muhurtham, the auspicious hour that sets the pace of the whole ceremony.
The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention. The nalangu, the playful post-wedding games between the couple and their families, is full of warmth and fun. The sumangali prarthanai gathers the married women of the family in blessing, and we photograph it with care.

The whole celebration
The henna of the mehndi and the jasmine of the bride are rich with colour, and we make the most of it. A multi-day Tamil wedding can run across two or three days, and we plan our coverage around all of them.
We keep the day flowing, moving smoothly between the ceremony, the family photos and the reception. Because the muhurtham is early, we are ready and in position long before the auspicious hour arrives.
Why choose us
With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a Tamil muhurtham surprises us. We have photographed South Indian mandapam ceremonies across the country for more than two decades.
Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the early muhurtham timings in advance. We factor in travel and the early muhurtham start carefully, so we are in position before the nadaswaram begins.

Where we travel
We will travel to your temple, your kalyana mandapam and your reception, wherever the maalai maatral and the thali tying take place. From our London base, Romford and the rest of Greater London are an easy, familiar journey for a Tamil wedding.
