Welcome to a world of timeless and chic Indian wedding photography by Natasha Gillett Photography. We have honed our expertise in capturing the grandeur and beauty of Indian weddings, from Silicon Valley to Bangkok, Thailand. Our journey began nearly a decade ago when our very first Indian wedding was featured on Wedding Wire. Before venturing into photography, Natasha specialized in South Asian studies at UC Berkeley and served as a Founding Board Member of the 1947 Partition Archive, a nonprofit organization dedicated to documenting the oral histories of Partition survivors.

Our Portfolio of Indian Weddings

We've had the privilege of documenting a myriad of South Asian wedding traditions, from Hindu to Sikh to Islamic ceremonies and rituals from Punjab and South India.

Fine Art in Indian Wedding Photography

Our approach extends beyond merely documenting moments; we strive to infuse creativity and art into every photograph. We seek shadows, captivating foregrounds, and perfect lighting to craft exquisite images. Utilizing a blend of lighting techniques and post-production artistry, we deliver photographs that are truly exceptional and aligned with your vision.

We understand the significance of vibrant colors in Indian weddings. We believe that your wedding photography should be modern yet timeless and to honor this we produce true to life color tones, ensuring that we capture all the action, colors, and emotions of your Indian wedding. We carefully edit each photograph to be a work of art that your families will treasure for generations to come.

Photographing the Baraat

The Baraat holds a special place in our hearts. The energy, anticipation, dancing, and music create a lively scene that we adore capturing. From majestic elephants to golf carts and even imported rickshaws from India, we've witnessed it all and are committed to preserving these cherished moments.

Bride and Groom Editorial Portraits

Our daytime and nighttime bride and groom portraits reflect a blend of timeless editorial portraiture. We have photographed celebrities, models and are familiar with fashion forward poses. We avoid any cheesy, clichéd shots and guide you to being confident and relaxed in front of the lens.

These portraits are always printed and cherished for generations to come.
