Multi-day Indian and fusion weddings across Chicago

I offer set collections for single-day or day-and-a-half coverage, and I also create custom proposals for multi-day South Asian weddings. Your proposal is tailored to the events you’re planning, the number of hours across those days, whether you’d like additional photographers, and if you’d like to include film coverage. Most couples investing in South Asian wedding photography spend between $7,500–$11,000 for multi-day coverage.

I’ve been photographing South Asian weddings for the past five years. In that time I’ve documented Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Pakistani, Bengali, and fusion weddings, each with their own traditions and rhythms. I approach these celebrations with patience and respect, knowing that every part of the ceremony carries meaning, even if I don’t always understand the language. My focus is on observing closely and treating every ritual as significant. And yes, sometimes aunties will pull me aside for a photo of their outfits or the priest will pause mid-ceremony so everyone can look at the camera, I’m there to capture those moments too. I take great care to include extended family and elders in portraits, making sure no one is overlooked. I take great pride in honoring each tradition with both artistry and heart.

Yes. I can include a wedding highlight video from my video partner Prathiba Productions (based on availability) as an add-on to your custom proposal. If you’re looking for full videography coverage, I also have trusted teams I can recommend. Many of my couples choose one of these options so their wedding story is preserved in both photographs and moving images, with a photo and video team that’s aligned in approach. The teams I work with share my style of documenting the day naturally, without turning it into a production.

Film photography is available upon request. For some of my South Asian couples, having their wedding documented on film feels especially meaningful, while for others it’s not a priority. Shooting on film is a very intentional process and does carry additional costs for the rolls themselves, developing, and scans. If film photography speaks to you, just let me know, I’d be happy to incorporate it into your custom proposal and create a collection that blends film and digital in a way that feels seamless.

It’s important to capture the traditional, posed family photos — those are heirlooms — but I also prioritize time for structured, editorial-style portraits of the couple. These can happen during a first look, after the ceremony, or even woven into quiet moments between events. Many couples choose to separate their ceremony and reception across two days to maximize portrait time, while others keep everything in one day, which simply means I’m more intentional about making the most of the time we do have. Throughout it all, candid storytelling remains at the heart of my work, I’m constantly capturing the unscripted moments that bring your celebration to life.

I am available for Indian Weddings and South Asian Ceremonies throughout the Chicago and surrounding areas. I’ve photographed ceremonies in Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan. I am always happy to take the show on the road for my couples!

Being flexible is important. Coming in with a strong game plan is key. I collaborate with your planner and venue team to protect time for family portraits and couple portraits, and I keep the flow organized so we’re not scrambling. Part of my process includes pre-scouting your venue and nearby locations so that I have backup plans for time restrictions, weather, operating hours and timeline shifts. The goal is to use every minute well, without the photographs feeling hurried or forced.
