Amira and Robin’s wedding in Mumbai was celebrated at Taj Lands End in Bandra and was one of the happiest weddings I can remember. Not that weddings are not usually a happy event, but some are just more emotional than others. Maybe because it is so close to home, and maybe because these tow families are […]
Richard and Tuiya’s destination wedding in Kenya is a wedding I will remember forever, for many reasons. For once, after covering so many destination weddings as a photographer, this was the very first wedding I have ever traveled to another country to attend, as a guest. I knew Richard and Tuiya separately before they got married. They […]
Nikita Puri from The Indian Express (Delhi) and I had this long telephone conversation a few weeks ago. It was about Behind the Indian Veil book, self publishing and Indian weddings in general. The interview, or at least part of it, was published a couple of days ago (2014.12.08) and is available larger so you could […]
About a year ago I wrote a post titled 10 tips for an Indian wedding photographer which I though was a good introduction to the field of wedding photography in India. A week later I added a second post with a few more tips on how to be a better wedding photographer and stand out in the crowd. […]
Muslim weddings are not easy to photograph. I can tell you that for sure. I mean, if you are a muslim than this might sounds strange, after all a wedding is a wedding. However, if you are used to all the music, alcohol, and party atmosphere usually associated with Indian weddings than you are up […]
The 16th century Samode palace lies a little more than an hour drive from the pink city of Jaipur, in the midst of ancient granite rock formation and away from the world we know. Memories belonging to a very distant past are hidden in its maze of bougainvillea covered courtyards and quaint narrow staircases. Lounges adorned […]
The very first wedding I ever photographed in India was a TamBrahm, or in its full name; a Tamil Brahmin wedding. This was back at the end of 2007 when I started working on my book on Indian weddings. I had no idea what I was going to see. I had no clue the wedding […]
We continue with the post production for wedding photographers Tuesday column on it’s seventh edition and back to Udaipur at high noon. It was a Mehendi party at the Guava gardens of the Leela Palace. People were hanging out by the lake and the sun was high in the sky. I knew I was going to […]
After a break we took from this column last week to review the Nikon D750 camera we now back with number 06 of creative post production for wedding photographers. Following the review last week it only makes sense that we look into the D750 files this time. It is in a way a bit unfair to the […]
If you are planing a church wedding in Goa there are quite a few places to hold the ceremony. There is a small chapel at the top of a hill which remains locked most of the time. Nevertheless, it is worth coming up here for a spectacular view of the Salcette countryside in general and the town of […]

Some Indian wedding traditions can be very strange to an outsider. I have been here for a while and have experienced some of them but there is always a new experience. I have heard of the marriage of the Tulsi plant in Goa but this is the first time I actually made the time to […]
Full disclosure before I start; I did not pay for the Nikon D750 so you are free to think that I am biased. I might be. Nevertheless, I am not going to try to sell you anything. This is also not going to be a statistical comparison or a technical review of the pixels and […]
Having a destination wedding is now a popular trend in India as more and more couples opt for a travel plan instead of a wedding hall experience. Femina magazine publishes a feature on the new trend in the November 2014 issue now on stands. It is always nice to see my work in print.Destination Weddings in India […]

I hope you are following up as the comments part is still very silent.This week was super busy, as usual. You are viewing this post on the new and revamped wedding photography […]
ime flies and we are already at the forth edition of creative post production for wedding photographers. This post is also the very first post on the new website so I am especially pleased.I’ve been very busy with the book and also setting up the new website in the last few weeks but am really […]
This is the third post of creative post production for wedding photographers. This time it is an image from a destination wedding in Udaipur. A good example of how an image that is seemingly not good to start with can turn out to be rather fine, albeit rather kitsch I must admit, with some Lightroom attention.
Wedding photography can be a lot more forgiving in terms of the amount of post production we apply to our images than photojournalism will ever be. Yes, we are supported to tell the truth, but no one will be mad at us it we make it more beautiful.
Last week I posted a first in a series of posts on creative post production for wedding photographers and I’m happy to continue. I hope that this column grows to become a tool for both inspiration and technical solutions for wedding photographers struggling with Lightroom post production. As I mentioned last week, I will be sharing before […]
I’ve been talking a lot about post production in my wedding photography workshops and I’ve noticed that there is a huge misconception about it among photographers in India. So here is something to start your creative juices flowing. My new ‘column’ on post production will be running on this blog every week and will hopefully […]
Udaipur is quite possibly the most romantic city in India. I come to the ‘Venice of Rajasthan’ a few times a year and it always manages to surprise me and look different than it did before. Different but always stunning. There is something about this city on the lake that is just so perfect as a destination […]
