Years of Experience
What Sets Us Apart?
We’re veteran filmmakers and photographers for Indian weddings, with more than ten years of experience, we’re well versed with any needs that can and will come up at a large scale wedding like yours.
We understand the drive from Cary to Asheville, just as well as we can run with every ceremony that will happen on your big day(s)! Once we’ve taken charge of your big day, we know you’ll receive what is our pure expertise, and no awkward frames.
Candids at the Center
A good candid photographer would always know that the moments on camera are always so close to being missed. But, the best candid photographers in North Carolina know this, and are always prepared; to never miss that split-second.
Your Stories, Our Cinema
Starting at the sweet mehndi and ending at the big dhol of the barāt, the cinematic films captured for your Indian wedding by our team are usually the pièce de résistance of the services we offer. We make a teaser, available to you within just a few days after the wedding, and a full film with short cuts, full ceremonies at the final delivery. Our same-day wedding films can be availed as an add-on to your initial package.
Weddings We’ve Covered
Be it a dhol entrance or a mameru ceremony, or even an oonjal swing. If its a wedding, we know how to navigate it.
North Indian and Punjabi Weddings
The dhol-led entrance, down to the vidāi that sends you off as a married couple.
South Indian Weddings
From the oonjal swing ceremony to the kanyadanam moments, for Telugu and Tamil weddings.
Gujarati and Marwari Weddings
A mameru ceremony, a grah shanti puja, and the knot-tying rituals, all captured, none missed.
Multi-Cultural or Fusion Weddings
We love the bringing together of two cultures, giving love to everyone we can. We love turning your stories into tales that last for years.
