Katha Images – Indian Wedding Photographer

So I am well rested now after my first few weddings of the season here in India.

Thanks to an incredible month off in Kerala.  My Fourth Visit to “Gods Own Country”

Still the beauty here takes my breath away! It’s like stepping back in time, to simpler days, watching the village life drift by in Alleppey.

The stunning red cliffs of Varkala Beach. The warmest,  friendliest people. Many who were so kind to offer help when needed, inviting me into there homes,

and even feeding me wonderful traditional meals served on a banana leaf. I am so greatful for the new friends I have made here and

can not wait to come back again! It is truely an inspiring place! Just what I needed before I take on the next few weeks of back to back weddings.

Stay tuned for a beautiful South Indian wedding I just photographed here in Kerala, Coming up next!

In the meantime; here are some shots from my favourite place in India!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Peace, Love and Happiness for a bright New Year!

Its been almost one year since my first wedding in Kolkata.  I never thought I would make it back here again. But then I met Tanya’s father Ravi in Toronto a few months back.
Tanya is also from Toronto, and met Vishal there too, so it was great having that Canadian connection with them. Many of their friends and family also travelled to Kolkata for the wedding festivities. The wedding took place at the Luxurius Swissotel. I must thank their families for putting me up there too, such a warm, kind family I was really touched by their wonderful hospitality, truly Indian! So THANK YOU!
And congratulations Tanya and Vishal!
Looking forward to the next two!

After photographing a few weddings in Jaipur, and all over India now I have become well aware of the diversity of this great Countries people,  I have also learned so much about how each region or caste has their own wedding traditions.  Sumedha and Sagars families both come from the Marwar Region of Rajasthan, and belong to the trader community called Baniya.  Baniyas are conservative, and enterprising.  They are also family people who respect family values. Which means, they respect their women and elders and instill good values in their children. I could tell from spending a few days with Sumedha’s family how closely knit they were.  Such a pleasure to be a part of!  The wedding itself had some beautiful rich details, gorgeous floral decor, wonderful heartfelt moments, delicious Rajasthani food, and traditions, all the elements that make for a beautiful wedding story! Here’s a collection of my favorite images.

Congratulations Sumedha and Sagar!
