My favourite wedding moments captured in 2024: A Season of Love, Laughter and Memories

Putting my thoughts into words about this past wedding season always feels more challenging than selecting my favourite photographs—something I find myself saying every year!

This year was especially meaningful as it marked fifteen years since I officially registered my wedding photography business—a milestone I’m incredibly proud of. Even after all this time, my love for photographing weddings remains as strong as ever. There’s something truly magical about capturing the beautiful, fleeting moments between loved ones, knowing how cherished these memories will be for years to come. And honestly? It’s a lot of fun, too.

I’ve loved every wedding I’ve photographed this year and feel so blessed to do what I love year after year. To all my incredible couples: a massive thank you for trusting me to document your big day. You’ve each been such a joy to work with, and I look forward to continuing the friendships we’ve built along the way.

Choosing the photographs below was no easy task—again, the same story every year! But as challenging as it was, I genuinely enjoyed revisiting these moments and reliving the joy, love, and connection I witnessed. What I’ve come to treasure most about wedding photography are the little things: the human connections, the energy of the day, and the authentic moments that unfold naturally. When selecting my favourite photographs, I focused on showcasing these elements, and I hope this shines through.

To my incredible industry friends and peers: thank you for your continued support. Working alongside you has been such a joy, and I look forward to doing it all again next year.

To my family and especially my wife Pinki, thank you for always being my rock, your support and encouragement mean the world to me.

To my amazing support team – Tejas, Sailesh, Meheer, and Dev, I’ve had the best times shooting with you, and I’m so grateful for everything you do. Stay awesome and keep pushing yourself!

Finally, to my 2025 couples: we’re almost there! I’m so excited to be part of your celebrations and can’t wait to capture incredible moments between you and your loved ones. Let’s make magic together!

For those newly engaged couples, feel free to say hi, I’d love to hear about your wedding!

As always, I wish I could include even more photographs, but I feel this selection strikes the perfect balance. In no particular order, here are my favourite wedding moments of 2024.

Much love,
Sanj

Anisha and Bhav’s London Asian wedding celebrations

Anisha and Bhav’s Hindu wedding, Civil and Reception party took place over the summer and I have to admit, it was one of my most memorable weddings to photograph. I got to know Anisha and Bhav the year before having photographed Anisha’s cousins wedding so I was looking forward to seeing many familiar faces once again. Before the wedding, I found out that I knew a lot of Bhav’s family too and that we’re somewhat distantly connected/related so the pressure was on!

The Hindu wedding took place at Anisha’s family home in south London and I love the idea of a home wedding, it was so personal and the weather was on our side. Anisha’s dad built the Mandap where the ceremony took place and it was the perfect setting for such an intimate event.

The celebrations started with Bhav’s and his family arriving, waking up the neighbourhood! His entrance was lively as anything and when both families met, the lively-ness went up a notch! I have to admit, the Milni was so much fun to capture, pretty much all family members got involved and it set the tone for the rest of the celebrations. Both sides are equally crazy and up for a good time. The Hindu vedic ceremony was perfectly conducted by Vasudev Mehta and his ceremony was on point, perfect explanation of the different rituals and the right level of enjoyment for everyone to enjoy. The wedding was full of fun emotion as expected and you can see how close the families are. I loved capturing Anisha and Bhav’s fun nature on the day and their personalities really show in the photographs.

The following week, Anisha and Bhav had their Civil wedding and reception party at The Landmark London hotel in London and it’s a stunning location for any wedding event. I have to admit, I was really nervous on the day. During the week, I sent Anisha and Bhav some teasers from the Hindu wedding and the response was insane, the pressure was on to deliver as good, or even better than I did the week before and knowing some of my family would be there, meant I wanted to do that bit ‘better’

I took the day in my stride and loved capturing the elegance of the day, beautiful moments, lots of smiles, hugs, capturing interactions between loved ones, this is what capturing a wedding day is all about.

The final event was the reception party and I did not know how WILD and energetic it would be! DJ Kabir (and Chris Williams, the saxophonist) did an incredible job keeping everyone on the dancefloor. I’ve not seen a dancefloor so full throughout the evening. Even after the first set of dancing had finished (for dinner), the dancing started up again within twenty minutes, and then the dancefloor was packed out, I barely had time to enjoy a glass of wine and then was back on the dancefloor! It’s definitely a party that I’ll remember and the interactions documented will be cherished for life!

Anisha and Bhav, it’s been a joy getting to know you both, and your loved ones. The wedding photographs are a true reflection of yours (and your families) personalities and I’ll always have fond memories of your wedding events. THANK YOU for letting me be a part of your wedding events and I Genuinely felt like one of the family.

Much love to you both

Oatlands Park Hotel Asian Wedding

Ayesha and Dil had their Hindu wedding back in May and I had an absolute blast photographing their wedding celebrations.

A few weeks prior to the Hindu wedding, I captured Ayesha and Dil’s civil ceremony which was so much fun! It was full of emotions and I was super excited to see everyone again.

I met Ayesha in the morning of the wedding and her bridal room was buzzing with energy, I knew it was going to be a fun day. Following on from Dil’s crazy, fun procession, the Hindu wedding was beautifully conducted by Arjun Pandey and it was full of FUN! What I love most about photographing the wedding day, were the little moments and interactions between everyone and you can see how close both families are. Ayesha and Dil have a very fun personality and I knew they would be just themselves in front of the camera and you can clearly see their personalities in the photographs.

I had a feeling the reception party would be insane and it was, credit to Dj Kabir for an insane music set throughout the night, from the pictures, you’ll see how hard these guys party! I admit, I didn’t want to leave…it was that good!

Ayesha and Dil, it’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know you both and being part of such an important part of your lives. We’ve spoken many times so it feels like you both are like friends to me.

Much love to you both and I look forward to keeping in touch, and enjoy the moments below!
