Hindu Wedding at Ladywood Estate – A Joyous Celebration of Love

A Hindu wedding is a vibrant and deeply meaningful celebration, and Shriya and Hitesh’s Hindu Wedding at Ladywood Estate was no exception. Set against the stunning backdrop of this elegant countryside venue, their special day was a perfect blend of tradition, love, and joy, captured beautifully in a documentary style.

A Natural Approach to Hindu Wedding Photography

For couples who want to step away from the traditional posed style of Indian wedding photography, a documentary approach allows for a more natural and authentic retelling of the day. From the intricate wedding rituals to the spontaneous laughter of family and friends, every moment was captured as it happened, allowing Shriya and Hitesh to relive their wedding exactly as it unfolded.

Moments like the Mangal Phera, where the couple walked around the sacred fire, or the beautiful moment when the Sindoor was applied, were documented without intrusion. Instead of staged poses, the emotions of the day – the anticipation, excitement, and joy – took centre stage. The image of Shriya, smiling as petals rained down upon her, is a testament to how documentary wedding photography captures the real essence of the occasion.
