North Indian wedding photography in Chennai

We're already familiar with how North Indian weddings work, not just from photographing them, but from knowing the traditions themselves. We've covered these weddings in Chennai for families who've moved south, NRI couples flying in, and destination weddings where a North Indian family chose Chennai or the coast nearby for the venue.

We've shot Marwadi weddings, Gujarati weddings, and weddings from Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, each with its own version of the same broad structure and its own particular details within it.

The usual shape of it

Haldi, Mehendi and Sangeet spread across the days before the wedding, then the Baraat, Jaimala and the wedding ceremony itself, with a reception either the same evening or on its own day. It's usually a longer, multi-day wedding, which means the photography plan has to hold together across several separate events rather than one long day.

Why it matters that we already know this

A North Indian wedding held in Chennai often means the venue staff and sometimes even the guests are less familiar with the specifics than they would be in Delhi or Jaipur. We're not learning the wedding at the same time as everyone else in the room. We know what's coming, so the day runs the way it's meant to.

The traditional photographs

Both families, properly arranged, planned in advance rather than assembled on the spot in the middle of a multi-day wedding.

One wedding a day, never two. Both of us lead every wedding and shoot alongside our own team.
