Indian wedding photography and film · Serving Melbourne
An Indian wedding is rarely one day. You might have a mehndi, a haldi, a sangeet or garba, the baraat, the ceremony and a late reception, often at a few different venues with hundreds of guests. J Y Productions photographs and films Indian weddings across Melbourne. We know the order of the day, we respect the rituals, and we keep out of the way when it counts.
We have worked weddings, community festivals and big cultural events since 2018, from our base in Beaconsfield in South-East Melbourne. We speak English, Hindi and Gujarati, so we can chat with your parents, grandparents and priest as easily as with you.
Indian weddings are all different, so fixed packages rarely fit. You book only the functions you need.
Full details are on our wedding photography and videography page.
Gujarati weddings are loud, colourful and full of fun. There is the pithi, the mandvo mahurat, then nights of garba and raas. Garba moves fast and is often lit with coloured lights, so we plan our lighting and positions ahead and keep shooting while everyone dances. On the wedding day we photograph the jaan arriving, the bride’s family hiding the groom’s shoes, the kanyadaan and the pheras around the sacred fire. We speak Gujarati, so the elders can tell us who needs to be in each family photo, and the group shots move along without fuss.
Hindu ceremonies change with the region and the family, so we start by asking how yours will run. We cover the haldi, mehndi and sangeet, the baraat with the dhol and dancing, the jaimala, and the ceremony itself, including the saat phere, sindoor and mangalsutra. The time is often set by a muhurat, so we build our plan around it and get in position before the priest starts. We always follow the priest’s advice on where to stand.
A Sikh wedding is built around the Anand Karaj at the gurdwara, where the couple walk the four laavan around the Guru Granth Sahib. We work quietly, follow the gurdwara committee’s rules on photography and head coverings, and don’t use flash during the ceremony. Around it, we photograph the lively jaggo, the chooda and kaleera, the milni when the families meet, and the emotional doli.
You can see how it all comes together in our Sikh Punjabi wedding story for Jatin and Aman. We did photo, video and live streaming across a multi-day celebration.
For Muslim weddings we photograph the mehndi, the nikah and the walima. Your family and the imam guide us on what is appropriate. Many families like separate coverage for the men’s and women’s areas, or want some moments kept private. Just tell us and we will plan the team to suit. We can also film the nikah so relatives overseas can watch.
We also love fusion and multicultural weddings. Maybe you have a Hindu ceremony and a Western reception, or two families from different communities. Tell us what matters to each side and we will put together a shot list that respects both. Our planning guide for Gujarati, Sikh and Hindu weddings explains how to share your timeline with us.
We are used to big crowds. We were the official photography, video and live-streaming partner for Sonu Nigam at Rod Laver Arena. We have also covered community events like Janmashtami and Bhajan Clubbing at Melbourne Town Hall.
We are based at 28 Wattle Crescent, Beaconsfield VIC 3807, and often work in Berwick, Narre Warren, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Dandenong and the Melbourne CBD. We also travel around Melbourne and Australia. See every area on Locations We Cover, or browse the wedding gallery.
