Serving Manchester

Your Tamil wedding photographer in Manchester

As a Tamil wedding photographer working in Manchester, Manchester is a great northern city with one of the UK's largest South Asian communities and the famous Curry Mile, and we travel throughout Rusholme, Cheetham Hill and Longsight for South Indian celebrations, photographing the nadaswaram, the rituals and the quiet family moments alike.

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 Greater Manchester and the wider region for Tamil weddings. South Indian celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Every tradition

From kashi yatra to saptapadi

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 Manchester, so nothing is missed.

The whole celebration

Every ritual, across every day

We plan our coverage around the shape of your wedding. Many Tamil celebrations begin with the nichayathartham and mehndi, move into the early-morning muhurtham, and build through the mandapam rituals to the reception.

Whatever your schedule, we arrive early for the auspicious hour, stay late and keep pace with the day so every ritual, large or small, is photographed properly. For multi-venue days in Manchester a second photographer covers two places at once.

Good to know
