Indian Wedding Photography & Cinematography

Cultural fluency, and an editorial eye

Hindu weddings are a celebration of love, culture, and tradition — vibrant colors, intricate rituals, and joyous festivities that span several days. Capturing them takes more than technical skill; it takes knowing what each ceremony means and when the moment inside it will happen. We bring both to every wedding, from the haldi and mehndi to the baraat, the pheras, and the reception.

Haldi

A pre-wedding ritual where a paste made from turmeric, sandalwood, and other herbs is applied to the bride and groom by family and friends. This ceremony is believed to purify the couple, ward off evil spirits, and bless them with prosperity and happiness.

Under the Mandap

The four-pillared canopy the marriage happens beneath. We shoot the Jai Mala, the Madhuparka and the Saptapadi from angles agreed with your pandit beforehand, so nothing is blocked and nothing is intruded on.

Amazing Photographers

“Lulan came highly recommended to us by a close friend of ours whose wedding he had photographed last year. We were initially a bit hesitant as we weren't sure if Lulan knew South Indian wedding customs well enough to be able to capture the important moments.”

Arshitha WeddingWire · August 2021
★★★★★
