What does a Nepali wedding photographer cover in Thailand?
A Nepali wedding in Thailand is usually a celebration over one to three days: a Mehendi or Haldi with friends, the wedding ceremony with its rituals around the sacred fire, and a reception. Koro Films photographs and films all of it with one Bangkok-based team: natural photos, a cinematic highlight film and a full-length film, plus a live stream for family in Nepal or abroad if you want one.
Nepali weddings are not all the same. Most follow Hindu rites, while Buddhist families and communities such as Newar, Sherpa, Gurung or Tamang have their own customs. That is why we start with your schedule and your order of rituals, so we know where to stand when the garlands, the sindoor and the walk around the fire happen. A Nepali wedding is called bibaha in Nepali (विवाह) and งานแต่งงานแบบเนปาล in Thai.

Nepali wedding film
Watch a Nepali wedding film from Pattaya
Tenzing and Ardahun celebrated their Nepali wedding over two days in Pattaya, with the ceremony on the beach at Cape Dara Resort. Every film package includes a cinematic highlight film like this one and a longer film of the day.
Many Nepali Hindu rituals — the garlands, Kanyadan, sindoor and the sacred fire — are close to the Hindu weddings we film every year. If your ceremony follows Hindu rites, these films show how we work:

What does a Nepali beach wedding in Thailand look like?
Tenzing and Ardahun celebrated over two days in Pattaya: a Mehendi pool party on day one, then the wedding ceremony on the beach at Cape Dara Resort and a reception under the stars. This is how their wedding flowed, and what we photographed at each moment. Read their full story →
01
Mehendi & pool party
Day 1 · Pool party in Pattaya
The Mehendi (also spelled Mehndi) is the relaxed day before the wedding. Tenzing and Ardahun held theirs as a pool party at a different venue in Pattaya: the bride had henna on her hands, her friends wore pink and lilac, and the groom’s friends raised a glass by the pool.
What we capture: Henna details, the bride with her friends, the groom’s side and the party as the sun goes down.
02
Getting ready
Day 2 · Morning in the suite
The bride dressed in a red and gold sari with her bridesmaids, while the groom got ready in his red wedding outfit with the sea behind him. These quiet hours give some of the most natural photos of the day.
What we capture: The outfit and jewellery, the bridesmaids helping, the groom on the balcony and small moments between the two of them.
03
Beach décor
Day 2 · Before the guests arrive
The mandap stood on the beach at Cape Dara Resort: peach drapes, flowers and the couple’s monogram, with rows of clear chairs facing the sea. We photograph the décor while it is still empty and the light is clean — your planner and florist will want these photos too.
What we capture: The mandap, the aisle, the chairs, the reception tables and the sea view.
04
Walk to the mandap & garlands
Day 2 · The ceremony begins
Family walked the veiled bride through white orchids and down the flower-lined aisle to the mandap. Under the canopy, the couple exchanged flower garlands — in Nepali Hindu weddings this exchange is often called Swayambar.
What we capture: The bride’s walk, the guests’ faces, the first look under the mandap and the garland exchange.
05
The sacred fire
Day 2 · Rituals at blue hour
As the sun set, the priest led the rituals around the sacred fire. Family sat on both sides of the couple, the couple’s hands were joined over the offerings, and the couple walked around the fire together.
What we capture: The fire and the offerings, the priest, the families on both sides, the joined hands and wide frames of the mandap with the sea behind.
06
Blessings
Day 2 · After the rituals
When the rituals ended, the mandap glowed against the evening sky and relatives came up one by one to bless the couple.
What we capture: Blessings from family, the couple together and the whole mandap at blue hour.
07
Beach reception
Day 2 · Dinner, cake and dancing
The couple changed into pink and white for a reception on the beach: a tall flower cake, champagne, fire dancers and a crowded dance floor.
What we capture: The couple’s entrance, the cake, the show and the dancing until late.

A short guide
What happens at a Nepali wedding?
A Hindu Nepali wedding usually moves from a Mehendi with friends to the groom’s procession (Janti), the exchange of garlands, Kanyadan, sindoor and the rituals around the sacred fire, and then a reception. The priest leads the ceremony, and the order and names change from family to family and from community to community.
| Ritual | What happens | What we capture |
|---|---|---|
| Mehendi | Henna is drawn on the bride’s hands and feet, with music and dancing. | Henna details, the bride with her friends, the dancing. |
| Haldi | In many families, relatives spread turmeric paste on the couple for luck. | Colour, laughter and the family around the couple. |
| Janti | The groom arrives with his family and friends, often with Panche Baja, the traditional five-instrument wedding band. | The arrival, the music and the welcome by the bride’s family. |
| Swayambar | The bride and groom exchange flower garlands. | The garland exchange and both families’ reactions. |
| Kanyadan | The bride’s parents give their daughter’s hand to the groom. | The parents’ faces and the joined hands. |
| Sindoor & pote | The groom places red sindoor in the bride’s hair parting and gives her the pote, a green bead necklace worn by married women. | Close-ups of the sindoor and the pote, and the bride’s reaction. |
| Rounds of the sacred fire | The couple walk around the sacred fire (agni) as the priest recites mantras. | The fire, the priest and wide frames of the mandap. |
| Reception | Dinner, speeches and dancing — in Thailand often on the beach. | Entrances, the cake, the speeches and the dance floor. |
Buddhist families and some communities, such as Newar, Sherpa, Gurung or Tamang, follow their own rituals. Tell us your order of ceremonies and we plan the coverage around it. Clothes matter too: brides usually wear red, and many grooms wear the Daura Suruwal with a Dhaka topi.
On the day
How do we photograph a Nepali wedding ceremony?
The ceremony is for you and your families first. This is how we work so it looks beautiful in photos and film without getting in the way.
01
Learn your order of rituals
Every family and every priest runs the ceremony a little differently. Before the day we go through your schedule, the rituals and your family photo list, so we know when the garlands, the sindoor and the walk around the fire will happen.
02
Stay close, stay out of the way
We work around the priest and the sacred fire without blocking your guests’ view: long lenses for the rituals, wide frames for the mandap and both families.
03
True reds and natural skin tones
Photos and films are edited in natural, balanced colour, so the reds and golds of your wedding clothes look the way they did on the day.
Family in Nepal?
Watch the ceremony live
Our live streaming team (WedLives, our sister company) can stream your ceremony and reception online for relatives in Nepal or anywhere else who cannot travel to Thailand.
