Welcome

to the home of jermaine chandra

It is my intention to show you how your wedding event unfolded. I strive to do this in the most uninterrupted and vivid of detail. I do not direct your wedding. I document it. My style is colourful, imaginative and distinctive but my approach is simple. I want you to look through your images and see your day exactly as it felt — the laughter during the Sangeet, the stillness of the Thaali moment, the chaos of the Baraat and the tears at the Vidai.

 

Every Asian wedding I photograph is different. That is what keeps my work alive. A Tamil ceremony has a rhythm all its own. A Sikh Anand Karaj requires a photographer who can move quietly whilst respecting traditions. A Muslim Nikkah demands presence without intrusion. I understand these spaces because I have spent nearly two decades inside them.

"We cannot praise Jermaine enough."

Your Memories Beautifully Captured

I specialise in candid Asian wedding photography London couples trust because I know how these days move. The best moments happen fast and they never repeat. A glance between the bride and groom during the Pheras. A grandfather wiping his eyes during the Ardas. A flower girl falling asleep on a chair at 10pm. These are the images that matter and they cannot be staged.

 

My portraits are relaxed and natural. If you tell me you are camera shy you will not be the first couple to say it and your photos will not show it. I work with light, not against it. In a dark mandap, a windowless banquet hall or a candlelit Sofreh Aghd I use subtle lighting that keeps the atmosphere intact.

"We cannot imagine anyone else capturing our special moments as perfect as Jermaine!"

MY APPROACH TO ASIAN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Asian Weddings I Photograph

 

Sikh Wedding Photography

 

The Anand Karaj is a ceremony of devotion, music and quiet dignity. I have photographed Sikh weddings in London gurdwaras for years and I know the rules: no flash during the ceremony, stay seated during the lavaan and never walk in front of the Guru Granth Sahib. I arrive early to capture the Guru Granth Sahib, the rumalas, the prashad and the details of the Gurdwara before guests arrive. The Maiya, Mehndi, Jago and reception all receive the same detailed coverage.

 

Indian Wedding Photography

 

From Tamil ceremonies with the tying of the Thaali and the Poruwa to Gujarati weddings with the Madhuparka and four Pheras, I know the sequence before the ceremony begins. The mandap is the heart of a Hindu wedding. I scout it beforehand and position myself so I can capture the priests, the fire, the couple and the family reaction without moving. When the Thaali is tied or the Mangalsutra is placed I am already in position.

 

Muslim Wedding Photography

 

A Nikkah is intimate and often brief. The signing of the contract, the Dua, the first look between bride and groom — each of these carries weight. I cover Mehndi, Nikkah and Walima with the same calm presence each event requires. I also understand modesty requirements and segregated gatherings and I always work within the boundaries couples set.

 

Tamil Wedding Photography

 

The Poruwa ceremony, the Jayamangala Gatha, the seven steps, the breaking of the coconut — every ritual is layered with meaning. I have photographed Sri Lankan and Tamil Hindu weddings across London temples and venues and I know the pace well. I also know when to move and when to stay completely still.

 

Persian Wedding Photography

 

The Sofreh Aghd is a photographer's dream: mirrors, candles, honey, sugar cones and two families pressed together around a richly decorated spread. I arrive early to capture every detail of the table before the ceremony starts. Then I step back and let the rituals unfold.

 

Civil Wedding Photography

 

From Indian Christian weddings that blend Kerala tradition with a London church service to classic civil ceremonies held in registry offices and licensed venues, I treat every ceremony with the same care. A short civil ceremony can be just as emotional as a full religious wedding and I shoot it with the same intensity.

 

Whether you are looking for someone to immortalise your big day or do a pre-wedding shoot, I am the chosen photographer for many. Indian wedding photography in London involves documenting a challenging sequence of rituals whereby I bring my A-game to every single event. I have vast experience with the diverse and rich culture of Asian weddings. I am acutely aware of the changing trends and I have a great understanding of what my clients want. The picture that sets your heart aflutter every time you see it, an image that immortalises a pivoting moment during your wedding ceremony and the raw emotion that invokes a reaction from your loved ones is what I promise to deliver with each of my assignments.

 

 

How I work

 

I am dedicated to my art and as an Asian wedding photographer in UK, you can lay your trust in me to be well versed with all the customs and traditions involved in your wedding. I vast bring experience, multiple cameras, off-camera lighting and a thorough understanding of your ceremony before the day starts. I introduce myself to your priest or Granthi when I arrive. I walk the venue in the morning while the light is fresh. I find the angles, test the light and then I blend in.

 

When your ceremony is fast I shoot faster. When your mandap is dark I light it discreetly. When your reception dance floor fills with energy I am in the middle of it with a wide lens and a steady hand. You will not notice me working and that is the point.

 

I believe that beauty lies in details which should never be overlooked. Elements such as the excitement of the groom sitting behind the antarpat as he patiently awaits the arrival of his bride, the gentle and careful placement of the Sindoor symbolising the bride’s status as a married woman to the anxious and elated parents watching on, I am there, documenting it all. Everything is backed by my experience and technical creativity, helping ensure I give you a vision and perspective of your wedding that you never could have imagined. If you are searching for and Asian wedding photographer who can visually represent all that you see and everything you feel then I am glad that we have crossed paths.

Practical Tips for Your Asian Wedding

 

Book your photographer early: The most experienced Asian wedding photographers in London are often booked 12 to 18 months ahead. Secure your date as soon as your venue is confirmed.

 

Walk the venue together: A 20-minute visit with your photographer the week before the wedding removes most lighting and positioning problems before the day begins.

 

Check venue rules: Gurdwaras have specific rules about where photographers can stand. Some temples restrict flash photography. Ask your venue before the wedding day.

 

Build extra time into your timeline: Asian ceremonies rarely start exactly on the dot. A 15-minute buffer before each major event keeps the day relaxed for everyone.

 

Name a family coordinator: Choose one relative who knows both sides of the family to help round up groups for formal portraits. This saves time and stress.

 

Do not worry about being camera shy: Couples tell me this before every wedding. It never shows in the final images. I am not asking you to perform. I am asking you to be present.

 

Have your details ready when you enquire: Date, venue, expected guest count and which events you need covered. Having these ready makes the conversation smoother.
