Old Marylebone Town Hall Wedding Photography
Archna & Ankit had their Civil wedding at the iconic Marylebone Town Hall in the heart of London. The wedding ceremony took place in The Pimlico Room which was perfect as they decided to have an intimate wedding with just their closest family. There is always something special about intimate weddings. As you will see in the pictures below the day was full of Joy.
Aaaah the pictures are just the best pictures ever!!!
They are honestly incredible and bought back such amazing memories. We love them so so much and feel so lucky to have you capture our day so perfectly
An Indian Wedding and Reception at Ditton Manor
This beautiful Bride and Groom, Shrina and Milan, had their Indian Wedding and Reception soaking in the sun with an outdoor event at Ditton Manor.
Photography at Ditton Manor Wedding Venue
Housed in Berkshire, Ditton Manor is an iconic wedding and reception venue for Asian weddings. This venue gives an exclusive vibe, surrounded by a centuries old moat and gorgeous landscape of carefully manicured gardens which is a dream to photograph for any occasion, but even more special for a wedding ceremony.
The venue has a certain allure, with a sense of a magical and hidden location for a wedding venue which you can feel in the memories captured throughout the Indian wedding ceremony. The long pathway from the entrance to the manor house provides a great opportunity to make the most of the Jaan’s entrance, whilst the front of the manor house and the hedge maze make great settings for couple portraits. I had a ten-minute slot to create some amazing portraits with the bride and her bridesmaids and the Ditton Manor grounds made this a lot easier, and we had a lot of fun too.
Outdoor Indian Wedding Ceremony
The weather was nothing short of perfect for Shrina and Milan, with the couple having always dreamed of a spectacular outdoor wedding. The sun was shining from beginning to end adding to the happy atmosphere all round! The Groom’s entrance kicked off the shoe stealing fun and games, with Ditton Manor’s large and spacious grounds giving the perfect space to run around. Family members ran all over the grounds chasing the shoes which led to them losing their shoes in the process! Milan made his way to the mandap with the traditional nose pinching from the bride’s family, and they did not hold back!
The Bride made her entrance after a heartfelt message, thanking her family and husband-to-be and it was an honour to photograph such emotional memories. Throughout the ceremony it was clear to see that the lovely couple were surrounded by a loving family who were all showering them with well-wishes, particularly Milan’s grandma who it was evident he was very close to. There were an uncountable number of great memories to capture throughout the Indian wedding ceremony, including the bride showing her clear unhappiness at failing to sit down fastest after the Phera around the fire.
Fairmont Windsor Park Indian Wedding and Reception
In the depths of the English countryside, iconic heritage beautifully blends with modern elegance to create the perfect setting for the Indian wedding and reception for the lovely bride and groom, Charine and Nish.
Fairmont Windsor Park is a stunning location for an Indian wedding and reception, with a grand country house boasting luxury, nestled on the edge of the historic Windsor Great Park. This tranquil Windsor hotel is surrounded by 40 acres of green space with a lake that is ideal for wedding portraits. Charine and Nish had a vision of the bridal portraits they wanted, and this hotel was an Indian wedding photographer’s dream with so many spaces inside and out to capture great couple photos.
This venue exudes elegance and the modern guest rooms and suites really do cater to the comfort of all the guests at an Indian wedding (and we know there are usually a lot of them!). The big hotel rooms are perfect for getting dolled up and the natural lighting is helpful.
“You honestly exceeded all expectations (and believe me my expectations were high).”
Indian Wedding Ceremony
The day kicked off with a colourful and loud entrance from the Jaan’s side who really did bring the lively and fun energy that continued throughout the day. The Jaan arrived with colourful flares and the Band Baja that included dhol players, trumpets and a snare drum who got the party going with a mix of Bollywood and English songs. There’s nothing better than capturing emotions at a wedding and the smiles were everywhere I turned! The lively Groom had everyone on their feet as he stopped before the mandap to party in the aisle.
Indian Reception Party
The Indian wedding ceremony set the tone for the evening at the reception party where all the guests were on top form. The mood lighting and extravagant décor was fun to capture and lent a hand to some great shots. I love being able to surprise my guests and creating a slideshow from the Indian wedding certainly put a smile on the bubbly bride and groom’s faces. The Indian reception didn’t do things by halves, and it went beyond the status quo of things I had seen before. This creative bride and groom chose to play the traditional Indian koda kodi instead of cutting a cake, and the winner of each round nominating a table of their new in-law’s family to have shots! It was great to capture something alternative that surprised the crowd too and went down a real treat. It’s safe to say this fun-loving bride and groom hosted an Indian reception party to remember and had the dance floor heaving from start to finish.

De Vere Beaumont Estate Indian Wedding and Reception
The De Vere Beaumont Estate is set in 40 acres of parkland, with an 18th-century Georgian white house and 19th-century Chapel to create a historic and unique venue in Windsor for the Indian wedding and reception of Anika and Kush.
Despite its historic features, the De Vere Beaumont Estate has plenty of modern spaces that are ideal for an Indian wedding photographer to take portraits inside (if the weather isn’t great), as well as outside and this easy-going couple were incredible to snap in their different outfits throughout the day. The Main Room is particularly amazing with windows lining one side bringing in lots of natural light. The patio is also great for a drinks reception in the summer to make use of the spacious grounds.
“It honestly bought a tear to my eye reliving it all!! We can’t thank you enough, you’ve captured all of our events so perfectly and it’s given us a lifetime of memories”
Unique Indian Wedding and Reception
The Groom, Kush, arrived in unique fashion – with a yellow car from the legendary television show Only Fools and Horses! It was an absolute pleasure to capture such a fun entrance as the car was surrounded by an energetic crowd who were just enjoying the moment, dancing and smiling on a summer’s day. After a lively dhol entrance, Kush awaited his lovely bride under the floral mandap. Anika and Kush’s Indian wedding ceremony was filled with plenty of emotion, and you could see that everyone was having a great time. The chilled-out couple even had their dog join them under the mandap at the end of the ceremony which made for some great photos.
The variety of different spaces that the De Vere Beaumont Estate has is ideal to capture couple portraits ahead of the reception party. The party took place in a beautiful room with a stunning floral backdrop behind the happy couple. The funny speeches led to great memories being captured, including the Groom sitting on a toy pony – a first for me to capture! The Elvis impersonator was a surprise from the Groom to his dad and got the party rocking and rolling.
A day full of fun for Anj & Druv and all of their guests. The day was packed with smiles and joy which can easily be seen in the photos. Situated across 150 acres of serene Hertfordshire countryside, Manor of Groves was the ideal Indian Wedding venue for Anj and Dhruv.
The incredible architecture and swoon-worthy grounds are the perfect backdrop for an Indian wedding photographer to take beautiful couple portraits. The main room is full of natural light, and the bridal room was extremely spacious, both great places for capturing the bride and groom. The stunning gardens provide such a great view once you are in the main room and it creates a great background. It is also so versatile for couple portraits, with a pond, bridge, and metal gazebo (which can be used for civil ceremonies) all in close proximity. The walkway with wooden arches also serves as a great spot.
Indian Wedding and Reception
The day was busy with a hectic itinerary but working closely with the relaxed Anj and Dhruv beforehand helped to ensure all their special moments were captured well, and that the whole day ran smoothly.
A fun and fuss-free day was on the top of the agenda for this beautiful bride and groom. Despite having a busy day with an Indian wedding ceremony, civil ceremony and wedding reception all taking place at the Manor of Groves, the day was chilled out and full of smiles! The groom made his entrance in style with plenty of dancing and fun to get the day started. Both the bride and groom donned amazing, light-coloured outfits which looked even more incredible when surrounded by the beautiful décor from Shagun Weddings. The wooden mandap coupled with the bright orange flowers gave the perfect woodland look to act as a backdrop for Anj and Dhruv’s Indian wedding ceremony.
The civil ceremony was the perfect place for an outfit switch into a smart and indo-western bridal look. Following the civil ceremony, the Indian reception was eagerly awaited by this bubbly couple to get the party started. The Bride was certainly ready for a fun but comfortable night and brought her Skechers along to make sure nothing was stopping her dancing the night away! The speeches had all the guests in hysterics and was the perfect end to a perfect day.
The couple opted to have long tables around the room for their guests to be seated which was different from the norm but worked really well in my opinion. The long tables were dark wood which really complimented the rest of the decor.
I really enjoy being a Wedding photographer at Manor of Groves. Located just outside of London, in the countryside of Hertfordshire. A venue surrounded by lots of greenery and flooded with lots of natural light. Anj & Dhruv chose a wonderful venue for their Civil Wedding & Reception.
The photos themselves were stunning – everything we expected and more. He managed to capture all the little moments and we are so happy we chose him to capture our wedding day.
Kavi & Krish had an intimate wedding taking place during the Covid restrictions. However, neither the Covid wedding restrictions nor the soaring temperatures from the heatwave of the year could stop this couple from having the wedding of their dreams.
The pressure was certainly on with the Bride herself being a talented photographer with a keen eye for detail, she had a clear vision of how she wanted the photographer to capture her big day. The couple had opted for no videographer which meant I was the only one capturing the memories that would be treasured for a lifetime. I’m always determined to catch every emotion but without a videographer capturing the heartfelt vows or the funny speeches, it was up to me to make sure my pictures caught all the weight of the words. It was truly an honour as an Indian wedding photographer to be trusted for such an important task.
Outdoor Indian Wedding
The couple had both the Indian wedding and civil wedding outdoors, with the civil wedding under a gazebo. The gardens offered a stunning backdrop, whilst the gazebo itself created a spotlight for the couple (and some much-needed shade). The vibrant colours of the Indian wedding suited the greenery of the gardens well, whilst the pond with the iconic white bridge and fountains complimented the beautiful couples outfits perfectly!
Although this was a lockdown wedding, it certainly didn’t feel like one! The joyous day was filled with thirty lively guests, creating enough laughter to fill the whole Fennes venue! With the Father of the Groom being Bollywood Choreographer Jay Kumar, the Jaan’s side showed off their dancing skills throughout the day which is always fun for a wedding photographer.
We explored the entire Fennes grounds, making use of all the beautiful spots inside and out. The rooms within the Manor House each have a unique look which work great for couple portraits. These rooms are also cool which allowed the Bride & Groom to take a break from the heat and work the camera instead to get some gorgeous portraits.
The Reception
Despite restrictions limiting some activities, this clever couple were not short on sweet gestures or entertainment for their guests. Starting with a grand entrance for the Indian wedding reception, each guest was announced as they made their way in which was a pleasure to capture and a lovely way to honour them all. A clever game for an intimate wedding was ‘Who knows the couple best?’ with the Best Man pipping the Mother of the Bride. The entertainment was never going to lack some dancing when Father of the Groom Jay Kumar was around! Guests stood by their seats and followed a dance led by Jay Kumar which was a great way to liven the party up despite all the restrictions. Even the Fennes staff all got involved and had fun!
The marquee in Fennes wedding venue has windows along one side so natural daylight flowed in, providing some real warmth for the pictures which I feel truly represented the warmth and love felt by every guest on the day.
The wedding of Jashmina and Yajur took place at the serene Tewin Bury Farm, a tranquil farm tucked away behind River Mimram and Tewin Nature Reserve on 700 acres of Hertfordshire countryside. Tewin Bury Farm offers a multitude of areas for portraits and overall beautiful backgrounds for Indian weddings
This bubbly couple had their Indian wedding ceremony and reception in The Meadow Barn at Tewin Bury Farm which caters for 450 people seated; the perfect backdrop for their fun but chilled out wedding. The Meadow Barn has an interested history and is one of the most energy efficient venues in Hertfordshire as it’s a 17th century farmhouse dating back to 1931 when it was built as a dairy farm.
As an Indian wedding photographer, I found this venue to be an ideal fit for Jashmina and Yajur’s wedding festivities as the rooms and individually designed and purpose built which allowed us to make the most of the breath-taking surroundings when it came to photographs.
The Indian Wedding
Indian weddings are known for their bright and colourful scenes and this wedding was no exception! Yajur’s family kicked off the day on a high note with coloured flares and a big dancing entrance to ensure all the guests knew he had arrived which really set the fun tone for the day. The upbeat entrance was great to capture with the lively guests smiling away. Jashmina’s side weren’t to be outdone though when the games started; the best man made the error of letting his guard down and failed to protect the Yajur’s nose and Jashmina’s aunt took full advantage. The pinch was wild to say the least and she got the red powder all over his nose that he looked like he was bleeding!
There was no doubt that the room was filled with love for this couple but it was beautiful to witness the true love between the couple themselves too. When the cover was lowered to reveal Jashmina, Yajur was overcome to see his Bride and had the kind of reaction that all Indian wedding photographers love to capture!
This bubbly couple didn’t hold back on the day with anything and when it came to the Phere, Jashmina was determined to sit down first and even did so before the Maraj Ajit Panday has even started the prayers! Poor Yajur was shocked that he didn’t get a fair chance so he made up for it later in the wedding by sitting down first.
The Reception
The Meadow Barn in Tewin Bury Farm is a blank canvas which is great for completely changing the feel of the venue between the Indian wedding and the reception event. Before the event started, Jashmina and Yajur were able to sneak off and take some couple portraits across the many different options which Tewin Bury Farm offers including the barns, countryside greenery and wooden pagoda.
When it comes to a party, both Jashmina and Yajur’s families know how to have a good time! The shots I was able to capture were priceless as everyone naturally gelled together and had fun.
A dance off ensued between the Bride’s side and the Groom’s but was so enjoyable to see, (aside from the various shapes being thrown!) was the two families come together. There was no idea of who ‘won’ the dance competition as it simply turned into everyone merging into one big group which I felt really signified the joining of two families to celebrate this lovely couple.
