Can you cover a multi-tradition celebration — for example, a Hindu ceremony and a Western reception?
Yes, and it is some of the most interesting work we do.

The documentary approach works particularly well here as we find the real story of two families and two cultures in the same space,
What does the editing and delivery process look like?
We deliver a full edited gallery colour graded, carefully culled and sequenced, online with download access. Standard delivery for a single-day celebration is 6–8 weeks. Multi-day South Asian wedding productions are 8–12 weeks due to the volume of material. We provide regular updates during the editing process and are reachable throughout.
Do you work with a second photographer and videographer?

Full team composition is confirmed based on your specific programme and guest numbers.

How is Koh Samui different from Phuket for wedding photography?
Three things: light direction, season and pace. Koh Samui faces east; its finest light is in the morning, not at sunset. Its dry season (January to September) is the opposite of Phuket's, which means they are genuinely complementary choices. And Koh Samui is quieter, more intimate and less internationally busy which produces a different atmosphere in the
What style of wedding photography works best in Phuket?
Documentary and editorial photography works quite well in Phuket, Thailand.
Is Phuket suitable for a large Indian wedding of 200+ guests?
For large celebrations of 200+ guests, the resort-based venues like Amanpuri (full buyout, up to 280+ across multiple spaces), Paresa, Thavorn Beach Village and larger north-coast properties are better suited than private villas, which typically accommodate up to 100–150 guests comfortably.
