Gujarati Wedding FAQs
How important is Garba at Gujarati weddings?▼
Garba is central to Gujarati wedding celebrations. Usually held the night before the wedding, it brings both families together for energetic folk dancing. Many couples now host elaborate Garba nights with professional DJ setups and choreographed performances.
What makes Gujarati wedding food special?▼
Gujarati wedding cuisine is known for its balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavours. Traditional dishes include dhokla, khandvi, undhiyu, shrikhand, and elaborate thali meals. All food is strictly vegetarian, often prepared by specialist caterers.

About Photography
Asian weddings are uniquely vibrant, multi-day celebrations that demand a photographer who truly understands the culture. From the intimate mehndi night to the grandeur of the baraat and the solemnity of the ceremony, every moment carries deep significance. The best Asian wedding photographers blend candid documentary style with traditional posed shots, ensuring nothing is missed across events that can span three or more days. They know when the key rituals happen — the kanyadaan, the pheras, the lavaan — and position themselves to capture each one perfectly. Many offer pre-wedding shoots at iconic UK locations, same-day slideshows for the reception, and albums designed with a cinematic narrative. When choosing a photographer, review full wedding galleries rather than highlight reels, ask about their experience with your specific ceremony type, and confirm how many hours and shooters are included. South Asian weddings often run longer than Western ones, so ensure your package covers the full timeline without overtime surprises.
Common Questions
How much does an Asian wedding photographer cost in the UK?▼
Prices typically range from £800 for basic single-day coverage to £5,000+ for premium multi-day packages with two shooters. Most couples spend £1,500-£3,000 for comprehensive coverage of all events including mehndi, ceremony, and reception.
Should I book separate photographers for mehndi and the wedding day?▼
Most couples book the same photographer for all events to maintain a consistent style across the album. Many photographers offer multi-day packages at a discounted rate compared to booking each day separately.
What is the difference between candid and traditional Asian wedding photography?▼
Traditional photography focuses on posed family group shots and staged portraits, while candid photography captures natural moments as they unfold. Most modern Asian wedding photographers blend both styles, ensuring you get the formal family shots elders expect alongside emotional, unscripted moments.
How far in advance should I book an Asian wedding photographer?▼
Book 9-12 months ahead, especially for summer weekends which are peak Asian wedding season. Top-rated photographers in cities like London, Birmingham, and Leicester often book up 12-18 months in advance.
Do Asian wedding photographers shoot in temples and gurdwaras?▼
Yes, experienced Asian wedding photographers are familiar with the rules at religious venues. Some gurdwaras restrict flash photography during the Anand Karaj, and many mandirs have specific areas where photographers can stand. A specialist will know these protocols.
