  • Sonia and Timal’s Hindu Wedding at Fennes Estate, Essex

    Sonia and Timal’s Hindu Wedding at Fennes Estate, Essex

    Sonia and Timal had an incredible two-day Asian wedding celebration at Fennes Estate in Essex. They had a dream of having an outdoor Hindu wedding as the grounds are absolutely stunning, so they went for it. Up until a few days before the wedding day, I had only spoken to Sonia on the phone and exchanged messages on whatsapp, but when we met, I felt like we’d known each other for a long time and I was very excited to be part of the celebrations.

    The day before the Hindu wedding, Shiv (the videographer) and I encouraged Sonia and Timal to have the wedding outdoors even thought the weather reports weren’t that positive. We even made a wish to the weather gods that night! But guess what? The next morning, it was grey clouds and a bit chilly. I was worried, wondering if we had made a mistake by encouraging an outdoor wedding. But then, around 9 am, the sun broke through, and it warmed up perfectly for an outdoor wedding, Phew!

    It was worth the risk, and the Hindu wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful, with the stunning grounds as the backdrop. I even got a tan!

    Timal’s lively process kick-started the day, and everyone was buzzing with energy. The excitement carried on throughout the day, and I had an absolute blast capturing the wedding ceremony as it unfolded. The Hindu wedding was conducted by Sunday Dar, and everyone was captivated by the different rituals and it was the perfect balance of tradition with a modern twist.

    After the ceremony, it was time to celebrate, and these guys partied like crazy! I don’t think I ever saw the dancefloor empty. It was all thanks to DJ Rugrat and the Musical Movement team.

    Throughout the day, there were a mix of emotions – smiles, joy, laughter, fun, and even a few tears. That’s what a wedding is all about, right? I had an incredible time being part of Sonia and Timal’s day, and I absolutely love how the photographs have turned out.

    Sonia and Timal, thank you so much for choosing me to be part of your wedding day. I had an amazing time with you and your loved ones, and it was an honour documenting your special day.

    Much love to you both, and I can’t wait to see you soon! Enjoy the memories.

    On the days of the events, Sanjay was calm, friendly, and wonderfully personable, making the whole experience smooth and fun. The photos were delivered super quickly, and the album was ready in no time. We were blown away by the stunning quality, which perfectly showcased our fun-loving personalities.

    Photographing Deepa and Dharmesh’s Indian wedding was a blast! A beautiful HIndu wedding in the morning and then a reception party that was insane, one of the wildest I’ve ever shot.

    I met Deepa and Dharmesh a few months back when I captured their civil wedding and I was thrilled to document their Hindu wedding and reception party. I also had two other couples at the wedding, so it was great to catch up with them too.

    The wedding took place at The Great Barn in Harrow. I loved that it’s just a five-minute drive from my home (bonus!). It’s a really cute barn and it’s quite unique as a wedding venue since there aren’t many barns in the area that can host Indian weddings. It was the perfect backdrop for Deepa and Dharmesh’s wedding, and Om Creatives did an amazing job with the mandap and décor setup.

    The day started with the traditional Hindu wedding, conducted by Pandit Ram Bhai. He delivered the Vedic wedding ceremony in his charismatic way.The wedding ceremony was full of small, intimate moments and expressions that I loved capturing. Deepa and Dharmesh are such a fun and happy couple, and their personalities shine through in the photos. That’s something I love being able to show.

    Once the Hindu wedding was over, it was time to party and I didn’t expect how wild it would be! I even stayed until the very end, because I didn’t want to miss out on capturing the fun, madness, killer and dance moves (and lots of expressions, alcohol, and amazing music). DJ Nills, you were on fire, so much so that I think the dancing photographs show how crazy the party was.

    Deepa, Dharmesh, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your wedding day. I had an absolute blast with you and your loved ones, and I can’t wait to see you again soon!

    Enjoy the moments!

  • Riya and Neel’s Hindu Asian wedding celebrations at Braxted Park

    Riya and Neel’s Hindu Asian wedding celebrations at Braxted Park

    Photographing Riya and Neel’s Asian wedding celebrations was an absolute blast! They’re both as crazy as each other (in the best way possible), and I loved capturing their true personalities throughout the day. That’s what I loved most about the day. From crazy expressions to cheeky banter, non-stop laughs, Riya and Neel’s wedding was a definite favourite.

    When I met with Riya and Neel over Zoom, we instantly hit it off and started to become great friends. After spending a morning with them on their prewedding shoot, I found out how crazy they are, and I could see how well they’re meant to be together.

    Riya and Neel’s wedding took place at the beautiful Braxted Park in Essex, and it’s the perfect setting for a Hindu Asian wedding. Even though the weather was typical British, it didn’t stop anyone from enjoying the day. We even embraced the rain for the couple portraits!

    The day started with Neel’s lively arrival with his whole entourage accompanied by dhol players. When both sides met, the liveliness increased, and I knew it was going to be a crazy wedding! The first ceremony of the day was the Hindu wedding ceremony, which was beautifully conducted by Milan Mehta. He made sure that all guests fully understood the different stages of the Hindu wedding.

    After the Hindu wedding, the civil wedding took place, and then it was time to celebrate and dance the night away. The dancefloor was packed throughout, and the expressions, well – you can see for yourself shortly!

    Riya, Neel, you guys (and your loved ones) are amazing! I feel so lucky to have been part of your wedding events, and it’s been a pleasure getting to know you both. No doubt we’ll see each other again soon!

    Enjoy the moments!

  • Vanisha and Kabir’s Hindu wedding at Shendish Manor, Hertfordshire

    Vanisha and Kabir’s Hindu wedding at Shendish Manor, Hertfordshire

    Photographing Vanisha and Kabir’s Hindu wedding events were an absolute joy! I had the pleasure of photographing three Pre-wedding events in the build-up to the main wedding ceremony so I got to know everyone really well and I genuinely felt like one of the family.

    I met Vanisha and Kabir in person a few weeks prior to the wedding, but I felt like I was photographing friends that I’ve known for a long time and this helped me blend in and enjoy myself thoroughly.

    The Hindu wedding took place at Shendish Manor in Hertfordshire and was beautifully conducted by Priest Milan Mehta. The day was a rollercoaster of emotions and for me, I loved capturing the little moments throughout the day where you see Vanisha and Kabir’s personalities where you can see/feel how close they are with their families. I feel that this is really important to document as these real moments, as they matter the most on a wedding day, in addition to the rituals being performed. I’ll let the photographs do the talking as this is a set that I’m very excited to share.

    Big Thank You Vanisha and Kabir for having me there to capture your Hindu wedding ceremonies and for the warm hospitality from all of your loved ones. I hope the moments captured help you re-live your wedding day with huge smiles.

    Much love to you both and enjoy the moments below.

  • Anisha and Bhav’s London Asian wedding celebrations

    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

    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!

  • Asian Hindu wedding at Manor by the Lake in Cheltenham, UK

    Asian Hindu wedding at Manor by the Lake in Cheltenham, UK

    [vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]

    Meera and Kiran had their wedding celebrations at the stunning Manor by the Lake in Cheltenham and what a day it was.

    The Hindu wedding started off with a lively procession from Kiran’s side and when they met Meera’s family, the energy increased, you can see that both families get on well. The Hindu wedding itself was conducted by Pandit Raju Pandya and he beautifully explained the meaning behind each ritual of the wedding ceremony.

     

    I would say that the wedding day was full of emotion. I particularly remember Meera’s speech before she walked into the mandap as what she said was really emotional, everyone (including me) had teary eyes. This really set the tone for the day and I loved being part of the celebrations.

    As the wedding ceremony flowed, I could see Meera and Kiran’s fun, energetic personality showing and I loved picking up on the little moments between them and their close ones. Meera has some great facial expressions that you’ll shortly see!

    After the Hindu wedding was over, it was time to party and both sides went all-out and partied hard till 4am. The dancefloor was packed throughout the night and the drinks were flowing. Everyone was out to have great time to celebrate Meera and Kiran’s wedding and what a celebration it was! A lively entrance, beautiful speeches, some food and drink, and then on the dancefloor, or at the bar!

    Meera and Kiran, Thank you So much for choosing me to me part of your wedding day. I have so many fond memories and it’s been a joy being a small part of such a big day for you both. I wish you both all the best for the future and I look forward to keeping in touch

    Enjoy the moments I’ve selected and much love.

    Krupi and Prash’s Hindu wedding took place at the beautiful Oshwal Centre in Potters bar over the summer and I had a blast photographing the energy on the wedding day.
    When I met Krupi on the morning of the wedding day, she was full of life and energy and I loved capturing her crazy personality throughout the day. Prash (as always), was chilled when I met him in the morning and was busy perfecting his beard and moustache, it was worth it as he definitely looked the regal part in her Sherwani!

    The day started with a lively procession from Prash’s side and the energy was matched my Krupi’s side when both families came together with a solid dance off between both families. I could tell that everyone had become close and it was fun capturing both families coming together as one.

    The Hindu wedding ceremony was beautifully conducted by Milan Mehta and it was a lively one which was a reflection of Krupi and Prash’s personalities.  A fun Hindu wedding tradition is where the bride’s side try and steal the groom’s shoes before he enters the mandap and it’s always a fun part to capture. Krupi’s side really went for it and you’ll see how crazy it got…I wonder if the shoes survived!

    The wedding day was a mix of emotions throughout the day for both families. Even though a wedding day is a happy occasion, there were times where tears were caught and it was a privilege to capture these (happy and sad) moments. For me, the wedding day is much more than just photographing the ceremony, it’s about the little things that happened inbetween and I know the families will cherish the moments forever.

    Krupi and Prash, it’s been a joy getting to know you both and seeing your personalities in the photos; I know they will bring you a lifetime of joy every time you re-live your wedding day.

    I look forward to seeing you both soon.

    After multiple date changes and even a change from having their events in Cardiff to London, Aisha and Rishi finally tied the knot and what an incredible few days of celebration it was!  

    I met Aisha and Rishi back in June on their pre wedding shoot and we totally hit it off. They said they were awkward infront of the camera, but I think they are total naturals. After the preshoot, I was really looking forward to being part of their celebrations as I knew it would be something special. 

    Aisha and Rishi’s Hindu wedding and reception party took place in the Ballroom at JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London and it was beautifully transformed by Dream Occasions. Rishi arrived in style in an awesome Indian Tuk Tuk with LOTS of noise and brightly coloured flares down Park Lane, I’m sure the tourists were loving the scenes as much as I was capturing them!

    The Hindu wedding ceremony was beautifully conducted by Pandit Soham Acharya who explained the wedding rituals in the perfect way. I knew the wedding ceremony would be full of emotion and I loved seeing the day as it unfolded. While documenting, I loved seeing the smiles between Aisha and Rishi as they were totally enjoying the moments! Check out the expressions, some of them are priceless! It’s easy to see that Aisha is very close to her family as the vidhai (leaving ceremony) was really emotional with lots of tears. Even though they are sad moments, they are priceless which I’m sure the family will appreciate.

    Once the wedding ceremony was over, it was time to celebrate and DAMN, these guys partied Hard! DJ Vish hosted the evening and as usual, he rocked the dance floor which was packed out throughout the night! Awesome food, excellent speeches, incredible bar, lots of dancing and your nearest people, what more do need hey?  

    Aisha and Rishi, thank you So much for having me there to capture your wedding events, it’s been amazing being part of your wedding celebrations and I know these memories will last a lifetime and beyond! 

    Enjoy the moments and I’ll see you soon!

  • Varsha and Kunal’s Wedding at The Dorchester Hotel, London

    Varsha and Kunal’s Wedding at The Dorchester Hotel, London

    Varsha and Kunal recently got married at The Dorchester hotel in central London and what an awesome day it was!

    The day started off with Kunal and his family proceeding with dhol players down Park Lane, I’m sure the tourists must’ve been snapping away as everyone made their way to the venue. Soon after breakfast, the Hindu wedding ceremony took place and this was beautifully conducted by Pandit Kamal Pandey. Varsha and Kunal are some-what shy but I loved capturing the little moments and smiles between them and you can clearly see they are made for each other! Varsha and Kunal said they are a bit awkward in front of the camera, but based on the moment captured, I think they are awesome infront of the camera. I loved capturing the day as it unfolded with everyone coming together and having a lot of fun.

    The wedding reception party followed in the evening and this was one of fav ones to date with quite a few memorable highlights. Kunal’s 5-year-old niece did a speech and it was the best speech I’ve ever heard. Kunal’s niece memorised a 4-page speech and barely looked down at what was written and the delivery was spot on, ripping into Kunal and Varsha throughout, everyone was in hysterics and at the end there was well deserved standing ovation! The best man after had a tough act to follow, he did pretty good 😉
    Varsha and Kunal hired a glitter artist (Dave Sharps Arts) and on a black canvas he started painting something with glue, but no one could see what he was painting. After Dave was done painting, he threw a load of glitter onto it and it revealed a portrait of Varsha and Kunal, pretty awesome hey?!

    Once the flaming desserts had been served, it was time to burn off the calories and the dancing kicked off with Varsha and Kunal’s first dance followed by an epic party hosted by Jas from Kudos Music. I won’t say much about it, just enjoy the pics below and you’ll see how incredible it was.

    The wedding moments captured are a true reflection of an amazing day and I wish Varsha and Kunal all the very best for the future as Mr and Mrs Patel, I’m sure the photographs will bring back a lifetime of memories that they will cherish forever.
