Out Thoughts on South Asian Weddings
“With over a decade of South Asian wedding experience, we have photographed over 100 Hindu, Sikh, Punjabi, Muslim, Bengali and Sri Lankan weddings. We understand and embrace the idea that an Indian wedding is about two families coming together, rather than two people. We believe it’s vital to photograph all of your guests, relatives and aunties (yes, they get their own category - haha), many of whom may have traveled across the world, so your entire family can enjoy these photos too. You can be confident that we will not miss a pivotal moment during your haldi, milni, baraat, jaggo or vadaai (to name just a few of the ceremonies) This experience and familiarity with all of the traditions an culture make us one of the world's best South Asian wedding photographers. In fact, many of our weddings have been published in Grace Ormonde, South Asian Brides, Mandala Weddings and more. Based in Los Angeles, we are available worldwide as many of our South Asian weddings have been in Cancun, Miami, Palm Beach, Mexico and beyond. In fact, Brian has even photographed a Bengali wedding south of Chennai in Mamallapuram. We encourage you to reach out soon, as our calendar books at least a year out, and talk to us about collaborating with you on your wedding celebration weekend.”
South Asian Weddings: A Family Affair"
"South Asian weddings are fundamentally different from Western celebrations—they're about two families becoming one, often with relatives traveling from India, Canada, the UK, and around the world for this once-in-a-lifetime gathering. Parents and grandparents need comprehensive coverage because many of these cherished family members and friends won't be together again for years. We understand that every auntie, uncle, cousin, and family friend matters deeply, which is why we ensure no one is overlooked. From the eldest grandmother who flew in from Mumbai to the youngest cousin meeting their American relatives for the first time, we capture the full family story. These aren't just wedding photos—they're precious family reunion documentation that will be treasured across continents and generations."
Cultural Expertise & Ceremony Protocol
"Hiring an inexperienced photographer for your South Asian wedding is a costly mistake we've seen too many times. We've witnessed videographers miss the crucial kanyadaan moment, photographers wearing shoes on the sacred mandap, or teams unfamiliar with Sikh protocols forgetting to cover their heads during Gurdwara ceremonies. These cultural missteps aren't just embarrassing—they're disrespectful and result in incomplete coverage of your most important traditions. Our decade of experience means we know exactly when the groom's sehra will be tied, how to anticipate the rice throwing during the ceremony, and most importantly, how to get non-Indian groomsmen pumped up for the baraat when they have no idea what's expected of them. This cultural fluency ensures we never miss a pivotal moment and that every tradition is documented with the respect and understanding it deserves."
