Documentary Storytelling for Sikh, Hindu & Fusion Weddings

Capturing the Asian Wedding Experience in photo & video.

There's a raw energy to Indian and Asian weddings that is unlike anything else ...
From the riot of colour at the Sangeet or Maiyan to the pulsating rhythm of the dancefloor and the emotional farewell of the Vidaai, the experience is not just seen—it’s felt.
We cater to couples who want to break away from the staged, production-heavy norms of traditional Asian wedding photography & films to find something more authentic. We don’t stop the ceremony for a pose, and we certainly don’t direct the Milni; instead, we respect the flow of these sacred traditions, allowing the true narrative of your day to emerge naturally.
We simply capture the unscripted chaos, joy, and intricate detail of your celebration exactly as it unfolds, creating a vibrant, cinematic record that transports you right back to the heart of the action.

The greatest privilege of our job is to have had the opportunity to have photographed and filmed weddings of all faiths, traditions and cultures. With 20 years experience of shooting weddings in an unposed, documentary style, we're ready for anything. We'll never ask you to redo something, we use all of that experience to ensure that we are in the right place at the right time to capture magical moments big and small throughout the day. We use discrete, compact equipment to blend in with your guests and capture the event just the way it was - no interference, no bulky camera rigs, no need to perform for the camera. Just real moments and real memories beautifully captured in photo and film. Whether your style is more brash and bollywood or more subtle and camera-shy, our candid style Indian wedding photography and filming tunes in to our couple's personalities to create something unique to you.

The Full Narrative

Sikh Weddings

We understand the sanctity of the Gurdwara. We know the flow of the Anand Karaj, ensuring we are always in the right place for the Palla ceremony or the Lavaan without ever obstructing the view or disrupting the service. We capture the tradition with respect, and the celebrations with unbridled energy.

Hindu Weddings

The Mandap is the centre of the action, but often the best moments happen on the periphery. We capture the intricate rituals—from the Ganesh Puja to the Saptapadi (seven steps)—but we also focus on the stolen glances, the laughter of friends during the games, and the emotional reactions of parents. We handle the complexity of the ceremony so you can simply live it.

Fusion Weddings

Blending two cultures requires a sensitive, observant eye. We excel at capturing the unique dynamic of Indian Fusion weddings, celebrating the coming together of two families with different traditions but shared joy. Whether it's a civil ceremony followed by a Bollywood-style reception, or a dual-faith day, we ensure both sides of your story are told with equal weight.

A Coordinated Team for Multi-Day Celebrations

Asian weddings are rarely just a single day, and they are almost never small. From pre-wedding parties like the Sangeet or Maiyan to the grand scale of the main wedding day, you need a team that has the stamina, experience, and coordination to cover it all without missing a beat.

As a family team of four (two photographers, two filmmakers), we work as a single, intuitive unit. We don’t need radios to communicate; we know each other's moves. This allows us to be in multiple places at once—covering both the Bride and Groom's morning preparations simultaneously, or capturing different angles of a crowded dancefloor—ensuring the sheer scale of your event is captured without ever missing the intimate moments within it.

No strangers at your wedding, no fighting for angles—just one family, perfectly in sync, capturing yours.

Every time we look at the photos we laugh and cry in equal measure. We are taken straight back to the day and the emotions we were feeling. Thank you Liam and Matt for making us feel so relaxed and laughing at and with us throughout the day. We really will treasure the memories you have captured so perfectly. Our next challenge is picking which ones we want to frame!

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. We understand that for Indian and Asian weddings, formal family portraits are an essential part of the history of the day. We are happy to allocate time to capture these important records of your immediate family and VIPs. We work efficiently and politely to get these done quickly—usually within 20-30 minutes—so you can get back to the party and we can get back to capturing the real, unposed moments.

Yes, we have extensive experience capturing weddings across many different faiths and cultures. We understand the flow and significance of key ceremonies—from the Anand Karaj and the Milni to the Saptapadi and Nikah. We know exactly where to be to capture the pivotal moments (like the Palla or the Mangalsutra) without ever needing to stop the proceedings or block the view of your guests.

Large weddings are our speciality. Because we are a family team of four (available as two photographers and two videographers), we are uniquely equipped to cover large-scale celebrations. We can be in multiple places at once—capturing the bride and groom’s preparations simultaneously, or covering different angles of a crowded dancefloor—ensuring that the scale of your event is captured without missing the intimate moments within it.

We love capturing pre-wedding events! These celebrations are often where the most vibrant, energetic, and colourful moments happen. We offer bespoke packages for multi-day celebrations, allowing us to tell the full story of your wedding week, from the intimate home rituals to the final reception party.

Yes, and we highly recommend it. Indian weddings are fast-paced and visual, and having a unified photo and video team makes a huge difference. Because we are all family, we work seamlessly together—we don’t fight for angles or block each other’s shots. You get a consistent documentary style across both your photos and your film, with a team that knows how to work together to get the best result.

We are specialists in low-light photography and videography. Our core philosophy is to capture the mood and ambience of your wedding exactly as it looked to your eyes, which means we avoid using artificial flash or video lights whenever humanly possible. Instead, we use professional, high-end cameras and lenses designed for extreme low-light conditions, allowing us to embrace the natural atmosphere of a candlelit Mandap or a dim winter reception without killing the vibe with bright lights. We do carry emergency lighting just in case, but our goal is always to use the light that is there to tell the true story of the setting.
