Candid & Photojournalistic
Unposed, unhurried, invisible. The cousin doubled over laughing, the grandmother's hand on a shoulder, the second before the tears. We were among the first teams in America to shoot Indian weddings this way.
Wedding photography
Elegant photography for your grand ceremony
All Indian weddings are built on a glorious foundation of culture and tradition — varying by region, religion, community and the personal preferences of the bride and groom. We photograph all of it.

Three ways of seeing
One wedding, three photographic languages
Most couples want a blend. We shoot all three on every wedding and let the day decide the ratio.
Editorial
Magazine-grade portraits with intention behind every frame — light shaped, backgrounds cleaned, poses guided. This is where the images that end up framed on your wall come from.
Traditional & Ritual
Every rite documented in order and in full — because your parents will look for the moment the kanya daan happened, and your children will look for it thirty years from now.
The full day
From the first haldi smear to the last dance
An Indian wedding is not one event — it is a week of them. We plan coverage around the whole arc, working closely with your planner, decorator and venue so the crew is in the right room before the moment happens, not after.
- Engagement, roka and sagai ceremonies
- Pithi, haldi and mehndi celebrations
- Sangeet and garba nights
- Ganesh puja, mandap and grah shanti rituals
- Baraat, milni and varmala
- Pheras, saptapadi, kanya daan and mangal sutra
- Vidai and doli
- Reception, first dance and after-party
Cultural expertise
We know your rituals by name
Born in India, we have gained deep knowledge of Indian traditions, culture, values and languages — and have covered weddings from almost every community in the country.
Gujarati
Gol Dhana, Sagai, Pithi, Mehndi, Garba, Ganesh Puja, Grah Shanti (Satak) and Mameru.
Sikh
Anand Karaj, Milni, Baraat, Langar and the phera around the Guru Granth Sahib.
South Indian
The full south Indian marriage ceremony, explained and documented rite by rite.
Punjabi
A strong reflection of Punjabi culture — ritual, song, dance, food and dress.
Muslim
Traditional celebrations across three days, culminating in the Nikah.
Marathi
Sakhar Puda, Halad Chadavane, Saptapadi and Karmasamapti among the key rituals.
Malayalee Christian
Lighting the lamp together, and the moment the groom ties the Minnu.
Nepali & Guyanese
Nepali weddings can run four days; Guyanese Hindu ceremonies open with Matikor.
Interfaith & Fusion
Love knows no colour. Love knows no boundary. Love knows no distance.
Pre-wedding & engagement
Before the crowd arrives, there is just the two of you
A pre-wedding session is the rehearsal that matters. You get comfortable in front of the lens, we learn how you two actually behave together, and by the wedding day nobody is performing.

Good questions
The things couples ask us first
Most couples book us nine to eighteen months ahead. Peak season dates — particularly summer weekends in New Jersey, New York and Florida — go first, so send us your date as soon as your venue is confirmed and we will hold it while you decide.
Yes. We have documented weddings across the United States, India and internationally. With studios in New Jersey, Orlando and Vadodara, we are set up to travel with full crew and equipment anywhere your celebration takes place.
We have covered weddings from almost every culture and community of India — Gujarati, Punjabi, Sikh, South Indian, Marathi, Malayalee Christian, Muslim, Nepali, Guyanese Hindu and interfaith fusion celebrations. Being born in India, we know the sequence and significance of each ritual, so nothing is missed.
Yes. Chirali leads our stills team and is one of the most requested female Indian wedding photographers in the country — particularly valued for bridal getting-ready coverage and for families who prefer a woman photographing the bride.
We recommend it, and most couples do. Amish leads cinematography while Chirali leads photography, which means the two teams work as one unit rather than competing for the same moment. It also keeps your timeline simpler and your budget clearer.
