Best Delhi Wedding Photographers
Punjabis rock! Any time! This was the first June wedding of 2012. And what a way to being a month! I would so totally miss being there at her wedding (in case it happens on 30th Nov as is likely). Because I am getting married on 29th and can’t afford to do a shoot the next day. :) Neelabh is shooting me on 29th Nov, then flying to Delhi for another shoot on 30th and then coming back to join me in my reception. Anyway, let this post not become about Neelabh and my November plans. Let this post be just about Anika’s engagement to Aman. And let the pictures speak.
PS: This was also the first time I shot inside a Gurudwara.
Delhi weddings move fast. Between the mehndi, the engagement, the ceremony and the reception there are often four events in three days, sometimes in different corners of the city. A photographer who knows Delhi knows how much time the Ring Ceremony actually takes, how the light falls inside a Gurudwara in the morning, and why the family portraits after the Anand Karaj should never be rushed.
For Anika and Aman’s engagement we worked the way we always do: one shooter with the bride’s side, one with the groom’s, and a shared shot list agreed with the family a week earlier. That planning is what lets candid photography stay candid — nobody is waiting for instructions while the moment happens.
If you are comparing Delhi wedding photographers, ask to see one full wedding, not a highlight reel. A full set shows how the photographer handles the boring middle hour of a reception, the dim temple corner, and the chaos of the baraat — the parts where averages show.
What to look for in a Delhi wedding photographer
| Criterion | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Candid portfolio | Real moments, not staged poses |
| Gurudwara and temple experience | Every venue has its own light and rules |
| Two-shooter coverage | One photographer cannot be in two halls at once |
| Clear pricing | Travel and albums should be stated upfront |
In short
- Candid coverage of the full day, from getting ready to the reception.
- Travel across India without extra travel fees.
- Edited pictures and optional printed photo books.
