HINDU WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Modern Wedding Photography For Traditional Brides

Your Hindu wedding is a vibrant tapestry of rituals, familial bonds, and love—a celebration that deserves to be captured with authenticity & elegance. You want to balance the beauty of your heritage with a contemporary aesthetic. That means photos that capture the traditional without feeling overly posed, stiff, or edited into something unrecognizable.

That’s where I come in.

I specialize in documentary-style Hindu wedding photography—raw, candid, and deeply emotional storytelling that prioritizes real moments over staged & manufactured images. Less cheese and more of a natural approach that balances the unique grandeur of your wedding with the intimacy of unscripted moments. Hindu weddings deserve this sort of photography - they are colourful, chaotic, beautiful, and they should be treated like a festival, not a styled shoot!

MY PhILOSOPHY

Emotive, authentic & RELAXED!

My philosophy is about capturing photos that are emotive. Above all I want my couples to look at their photos and be both surprised and moved. The very best photos, the ones that bring the most joy, are the ones that document real moments and real stories, in a way that is elegant but authentic. As well as this, I seek uniqueness. I want your images to be different, to be you, to tell the tale of your own day, not the hundreds of other days I’ve captured. So to this end I’m always seeking and planning a twist, photos that are creative and beautiful at the same time. There are so many opportunities for creating something special, and I’m always searching for them.

I’m also a firm believer that wedding photography should not rule your wedding day. It shouldn’t take up too much time, and it should be something that exhausts you. Your day is to be enjoyed, and I am committed to making sure that you do that. So for most of your wedding I shoot in a way that is discrete. When we do spend some time on portraits I make this time as easy and enjoyable as possible. I will guide and direct you. Above all I want you to enjoy your wedding day, and I want your experience to be relaxed and pain-free.

You have a wedding to enjoy, after all!

WHY ME?

Because Your Wedding Isn’t JUST A CHECKBOX ITEM.

As an Australian photographer with years of experience documenting Hindu and cross-cultural weddings, I bridge the gap between tradition and modernity. I’m not the sort of photographer your mum would hire (but your mum will love me, I promise!)

Here’s what sets me apart:

• I Get Second-Generation Brides (Even if I’m a white dude!): You want to honor your family’s expectations without sacrificing your personal style. I’ll work seamlessly with you to capture both the rituals and the realness, while also soothing the many competing needs and wants from your extended family. I've got endless patience!

• No Over-the-Top Posing: Forget awkward “look at the camera and smile” prompts (there will be a few). I focus on genuine interactions—the way your partner’s hands shake during the Sindoor ritual or your mom’s proud smile as she adjusts your dupatta.

• Subtle, Not Showy: My compositions highlight the artistry of your ceremony—the intricate Mandap florals, the sacred fire, the drape of your lehenga—without overshadowing you.

• Flexible Packages: Full-day coverage, intimate minimonies, or multi-day events—I tailor my services to fit your vision.

• I shoot A LOT of photos: This is particularly important for mum! She wants every single moment captured, every intricate details, and especially all of your relatives. I can handle it, trust me!

• My photos. I hope. Please look through my galleries to see my style, and to make sure it aligns with your own. I take pride in my photography, and I’m a firm believer that I’m only as good as the last wedding I shot. I work hard, and I am passionate about what I do.
