Hindu Asian weddings at Braxted Park Estate in Essex

Photographing Riya and Neel’s Asian wedding celebrations was an absolute blast! They’re both as crazy as each other (in the best way possible), and I loved capturing their true personalities throughout the day. That’s what I loved most about the day. From crazy expressions to cheeky banter, non-stop laughs, Riya and Neel’s wedding was a definite favourite.

When I met with Riya and Neel over Zoom, we instantly hit it off and started to become great friends. After spending a morning with them on their prewedding shoot, I found out how crazy they are, and I could see how well they’re meant to be together.

Riya and Neel’s wedding took place at the beautiful Braxted Park in Essex, and it’s the perfect setting for a Hindu Asian wedding. Even though the weather was typical British, it didn’t stop anyone from enjoying the day. We even embraced the rain for the couple portraits!

The day started with Neel’s lively arrival with his whole entourage accompanied by dhol players. When both sides met, the liveliness increased, and I knew it was going to be a crazy wedding! The first ceremony of the day was the Hindu wedding ceremony, which was beautifully conducted by Milan Mehta. He made sure that all guests fully understood the different stages of the Hindu wedding.

After the Hindu wedding, the civil wedding took place, and then it was time to celebrate and dance the night away. The dancefloor was packed throughout, and the expressions, well – you can see for yourself shortly!

Riya, Neel, you guys (and your loved ones) are amazing! I feel so lucky to have been part of your wedding events, and it’s been a pleasure getting to know you both. No doubt we’ll see each other again soon!

Enjoy the moments!
