EXPERIENCED INDIAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS

Over the years, our team has become specialists in Indian Wedding photography in Iowa and the midwest. What began with one couple entrusting us with their day has grown into countless referrals, and now we are sought after as the go-to photographers for many couples.  We’ve loved ever minute with each client, but we are even MORE grateful that their experience exceeded their expectations so much that they shared it with others!

Our vibrant yet timeless style of photography, and  our deep understanding of the ceremonies, culture, and familial ties have allowed us to become the photographers of choice for high-end Iowa South Asian weddings.  We have photographed Hindu weddings, Sikh, fusion weddings mixing multiple religions, and many others. We’ve learned many of the traditions and know what to look for.  Having this specialized knowledge allows us to capture all of the beautiful moments of Indian weddings, ensuring a stress-free experience for you and your family!

HONEST PORTRAYALS OF LOVE THAT LAST

When you dream of your wedding day, you know it’s going to be an incredible day that flies by. From the moment you get ready and your mom places your dupatta, the energetic Bollywood style dances at your sangeet, squeezing the hands of your aunts that traveled from afar to place haldi on your hands…the craziness of the  jhoota-chuppai, and that moment you finally see each other during your ceremony and just breathe – together at last.

My experience photographing South Asian weddings allows you to be fully present with your loved ones, experiencing your day. Rest easy and get lost in the bliss of your day, knowing I will capture exactly how everything felt so you can relive it for years to come.

frequently asked questions

We recommend at least two photographers on your wedding day, and generally recommend our couples consider a third photographer for during their barat, ceremony, and immediately following.  There are a LOT of intricate events, many important people, and beautiful moments that happen in a short span of time, often at more than one location, which is why we typically recommend a 3rd photographer.  For your Mehndi, welcome party, Sangeet, or other events, we recommend 2 photographers for larger events or when more than one location is hosting an event, however I often photograph these events solo.

Having photographed many Indian weddings, we know that no two are exactly the same.  All of our Indian weddings are custom-quoted according to your needs.  We offer single-day coverage, though many of our South Asian weddings choose multi-day options, which is a wonderful way for us to really capture the entirety of your event and all the people who matter most to you.

We LOVE wedding albums and include a book or album in every package.  You may also add on a duplicate parent album, and custom engraved album case.  We finalize your custom album design after your wedding.

Absolutely.  We include travel within an hour for all of our quotes.  Travel & accommodations beyond that is quoted on a case-by-case basis. We travel quite a bit and will share travel dates with our out-of-state clients in case they would like to meet up with us elsewhere for an engagement session.

All of our booking and invoicing is done online, making it easy for our out-of-state clients and family members to contribute easily and at their convenience.  You may pay using credit card online or ACH transfer.  We require a retainer to book your date, and 50% is due 6 months prior, with your final balance due 30 days prior.
