Photo & film for South Asian weddings

Every ritual. Every relative. Every beat of the dhol.

Kesar is a photo and film team for multi-day weddings — from the first line of henna to the last song of the reception. We know the rituals, we know the timings, and we never miss an aunty.

Our way

Big weddings deserve photographers who don’t get tired.

Three days, five hundred guests, a dozen rituals and a schedule that runs on family time. We plan with your coordinator, learn the names that matter and stay until the dhol player goes home.

to your gallery and film

Six celebrations, one family.

Hindu, Sikh, Muslim or a beautiful mix — we photograph every ritual with the same care, and we’ll always ask before we step into the mandap.

Day one · afternoon

Mehndi

Henna, songs and the aunties who know every word. We photograph the patterns up close and the laughter wide.

Day two · morning

Haldi

Turmeric everywhere, including on us. We bring rain covers for the cameras and wide lenses for the chaos.

Day two · evening

Sangeet

Rehearsed choreography, unrehearsed uncles. Flash, motion and every family performance, start to finish.

Day three · arrival

Baraat

The horse, the dhol and a groom trying to stay composed. We run ahead of the procession so you see every face.

Day three · ceremony

Pheras

Seven rounds of the fire, photographed quietly and respectfully. We work with your priest, never around them.

Day three · night

Reception

Entrances, speeches and the dance floor that refuses to close. Portraits of the two of you before it all begins.

Photo & film

One team behind two cameras, so nothing is missed twice.

Photography

“Three days, four hundred guests, and somehow they caught my nani’s face at the exact moment the pheras ended. We watch the film every anniversary.”
