Serving Waltham Forest

Beautiful Tamil wedding photography in Waltham Forest

Waltham Forest is a green east London borough and former Borough of Culture. We are used to multi-venue days throughout Greater London, moving smoothly between Redbridge, Haringey. Whether at a temple, a kalyana mandapam or a banqueting suite, we work quietly around the priests and the homam.

We photograph with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind the thali and the saptapadi. We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the oonjal songs flow naturally. We anticipate each ritual, so the kashi yatra, the oonjal and the saptapadi are never missed.

From our London base we travel across Greater London for Tamil weddings, and Waltham Forest, a green east London borough and former Borough of Culture, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Wandsworth and Wealdstone. Waltham Forest and the towns around it offer venues such as William Morris Gallery, The Great Hall and Chambers and Fellowship Square, all familiar to us.

A green east London borough and former London Borough of Culture, known for its arts scene and links to William Morris. Served by Walthamstow Central station on the Victoria line and London Overground. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Lloyd Park in Walthamstow, with formal gardens and open lawns, with The William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, set in Lloyd Park close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

From kashi yatra to saptapadi

We are mindful of every family's customs at the mandapam, Iyer, Iyengar or Sri Lankan Tamil. The most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens. From the kanyadaanam to the saptapadi, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely.

The nadaswaram and thavil players fill the venue with music, and we photograph them at work. The grihapravesam welcomes the bride into her new home, and we are there for it. The reception is the joyful finale, with the couple greeting hundreds of guests.

The whole celebration

Every ritual, across every day

The nichayathartham and mehndi are warm, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come. Many Tamil weddings begin the day before with the nichayathartham and a mehndi.

We capture the reception in full, the entrance, the greetings and the celebration. We photograph the ceremony, the portraits and the reception in balance, so each is given its due.

Why choose us

Knowing every ritual in Waltham Forest

We know the rhythm of a mandapam ceremony by heart, so the thali tying is always captured. We have spent twenty-five years learning the detail of Tamil weddings, and it shows in every muhurtham gallery.

We are London-based and travel across Greater London and the wider region for the early muhurtham and the mandapam rituals. We photograph across Greater London regularly, and travelling to a kalyana mandapam in Waltham Forest is second nature.

Where we travel

We are London-based but rarely in London; much of our work takes us to temples and mandapams across London and the surrounding area. We factor in travel and the early muhurtham start carefully, so we are in position before the nadaswaram begins.
