Calm, unobtrusive photography that captures the real devotion and emotion of the day.
Award-winning Tamil wedding photographer in Bicester. From the nichayathartham to the reception, we document every ritual of your South Indian celebration with warmth and an unobtrusive eye.
Serving Bicester
Bicester is an Oxfordshire town with country venues. We photograph Tamil weddings throughout Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley, telling the full story from the kashi yatra and oonjal to the saptapadi and the reception.
From the nichayathartham and the mehndi to the muhurtham and the reception, we document the whole celebration with a calm, unobtrusive eye. We are London-based and travel across Oxfordshire and the wider region for Tamil weddings. South Indian celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

What we offer
Calm, unobtrusive photography that captures the real devotion and emotion of the day.
Extra shooters for large celebrations so no ritual or family moment is missed.
Hand-finished albums, wall art and prints, crafted to last for generations.
Every tradition
A Tamil wedding is rich with precise, meaningful ritual, and we have learned the order and the timing of each. The day often opens with the kashi yatra, the playful moment the groom pretends to renounce married life, before the maalai maatral, the exchange of garlands high above the guests.
Then comes the oonjal, the gentle swing ceremony, the kanyadaanam, and the heart of the wedding, the maangalya dharanam, when the thali is tied to the sound of the nadaswaram. We know exactly when each happens in Bicester, so nothing is missed.

The whole celebration
A Tamil wedding rarely fits into a single afternoon, and we love that. The celebration often begins the day before with the nichayathartham and a mehndi, the henna and laughter of the women around the bride.
The wedding morning then arrives early with the muhurtham, the kashi yatra, the garland exchange, the oonjal and the thali ceremony, followed by the reception. We can photograph a single key event or several days, and for the largest celebrations in Bicester we bring a second photographer.
Why choose us
Having photographed over a thousand weddings across twenty-five years, we know the flow of a Tamil celebration in Bicester, from the oonjal to the nalangu, and we are ready for all of it.
We are London-based and travel across Oxfordshire and the wider region for Tamil weddings. South Indian celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Where we travel
Although we are London-based, a large share of our work takes us out across Oxfordshire and beyond. Bicester and the surrounding areas of Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley are very familiar to us, and we factor in travel and timings so we are always in the right place when it matters.

Good to know
Yes. We have photographed South Indian weddings across Oxfordshire and the wider region for many years, at temples, mandapams and banqueting venues alike.
Yes. We photograph Iyer, Iyengar and other South Indian Tamil traditions, and are familiar with the differences in their rituals and order of events.
Of course. We regularly photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings in Bicester, blending South Indian traditions with another family's customs with care.
You will receive a small preview soon after the wedding, with your full edited gallery and album to follow. A Tamil wedding produces thousands of frames, so careful editing takes a little time and is well worth the wait.
It depends on the size of your celebration. Many weddings are covered beautifully by one photographer, but for large multi-event days in Bicester we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
