Hindu Wedding Photographer & Videographer in Thailand

Pre-wedding shoot

Optional · before the wedding week

Many couples add a pre-wedding session before the functions begin — on a long-tail boat, among limestone islands, on a rooftop above Bangkok or in a city that means something to them. It is relaxed time together, and the photos are ready for your save-the-date or a slideshow at the Sangeet.

What we capture: Natural portraits, outfit changes, drone views and short film clips.

Welcome party

Day one · evening

The first evening brings both families and their friends together — a cocktail night, a beach dinner or a party on a boat. Guests often fly in from around the world, and for many it is the first time the two families meet.

What we capture: Arrivals, toasts, the dance floor and candid moments between people who have not seen each other in years.

Ganesh puja

Blessings · often the first ritual

Many Hindu weddings begin with a puja to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, so that the celebrations ahead go smoothly. The pandit leads the prayers with close family; it is often quiet, early and very personal.

What we capture: We keep a respectful distance, work with natural light and follow the pandit on where we can stand.

Mehndi

Henna ceremony · 1–2 days before

Henna artists draw intricate designs on the bride’s hands and feet while family and friends sing, dance and have their own mehndi done. Many brides hide the groom’s initials in the pattern — and tradition says the darker the colour, the deeper the love.

What we capture: Close-ups of the designs, the bride’s reactions and the music and colour around her.

Haldi

Turmeric ceremony · morning

Family members apply a paste of turmeric (haldi), often mixed with sandalwood and rose water, to the bride and groom. It is a blessing before the wedding — and it soon becomes a happy, very yellow mess.

What we capture: Fast, close coverage in the middle of the fun. We protect our cameras and plan on yellow everywhere.

Sangeet

Music & dance night

An evening of music and dance where each side of the family performs — choreographed numbers, surprise acts and the couple’s own dance. At destination weddings in Thailand it is often the biggest party of the week.

What we capture: Performances on stage, reactions in the crowd and the dance floor once it opens. We talk to your DJ and lighting team before the show.

Pool party

Daytime · destination weddings

Between functions, many couples plan a pool or beach party — a chance for everyone to relax in the sun before the big day.

What we capture: Bright, fun coverage, including waterproof cameras for shots from inside the pool.

Getting ready

Wedding morning

On the wedding morning the bride’s lehenga, jewellery and makeup come together, while the groom puts on his sherwani and has his safa (turban) tied by family.

What we capture: Details, family helping each other get ready and the first full look before the Baraat.

Baraat

The groom’s procession

The groom arrives in style — on a horse, an elephant, in a vintage car or even by boat — while his family and friends dance to the dhol all the way to the venue. The bride’s family welcomes them at the entrance.

What we capture: We move with the procession, stay ahead of the groom and catch the welcome at the gate.

Bride’s entrance & Varmala

Jaimala · exchange of garlands

The bride makes her entrance — under a floral canopy, with her brothers, or across the water by boat — and the couple exchange flower garlands. Friends love to lift the groom out of reach, so the Varmala is often full of laughter.

What we capture: Both families’ reactions and the garland moment itself, covered from two angles in photo and film.

Mandap & Pheras

The main ceremony

Under the mandap, the pandit leads the heart of a Hindu wedding: the Kanyadaan, when the bride’s parents give her hand; the Pheras, the rounds around the sacred fire (four or seven, depending on family tradition) with the Saptapadi vows; then the sindoor and mangalsutra that mark the couple as married.

What we capture: We agree positions around the mandap in advance, so we never block the pandit or your family’s view.

Vidaai

The bride’s farewell

The emotional farewell to the bride’s family. She throws rice back over her shoulder as thanks to her parents’ home, then leaves with the groom — often in a decorated car.

What we capture: Quiet, honest moments between parents and daughter — some of the most treasured photos of the whole wedding.

Reception

The final celebration

The evening party with the couple’s grand entrance, speeches, first dance, cake and often fireworks — usually with a change of outfits and every guest in one place.

What we capture: Entrances, speeches, the dance floor and the last moments of the night. With a same-day edit, your film premieres on screen here.
