Award-winning Tamil wedding photographer in Newcastle upon Tyne. From the nichayathartham to the reception, we document every ritual of your South Indian celebration with warmth and an unobtrusive eye.
Serving Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle upon Tyne is a great north-eastern city with grand venues. We photograph Tamil weddings throughout Gateshead, Jesmond and Gosforth, telling the full story from the kashi yatra and oonjal to the saptapadi and the reception.
We move quietly through the day, from the early-morning preparations to the last dance, so the story of your Tamil wedding is told in full. We are London-based and travel across Tyne and Wear and the wider region for Tamil weddings. South Indian celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

What we offer
Familiar with Iyer, Iyengar and South Indian customs, we keep to the timings and respect the sacred moments.
From the morning muhurtham to the reception, told as one flowing story.
Beautifully bound albums and fine prints designed around your favourite images.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne, so nothing is missed.

The whole celebration
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 Newcastle upon Tyne a second photographer covers two places at once.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years of experience and more than a thousand weddings mean nothing about a South Indian wedding surprises us. In Newcastle upon Tyne we anticipate the kanyadaanam, the thali tying and the saptapadi, and capture each without ever getting in the way.
We are London-based and travel across Tyne and Wear and the wider region for Tamil weddings. South Indian celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Where we travel
We are London-based, and Newcastle upon Tyne sits well within the area we cover for Tamil weddings. We photograph celebrations throughout Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Jesmond and Gosforth, and travel happily to temples, kalyana mandapams and banqueting suites and reception venues wherever your day is held. Distance is never an issue; it is simply part of how we work.

Yes. We are comfortable photographing respectfully inside temples and kalyana mandapams, working quietly around the priests and the sacred fire.
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 Newcastle upon Tyne we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
