Capturing God’s Own Wedding Moments

Brahmin weddings echo with soft Vedic chants, the warm glow of ghee lamps, and families seated close around the sacred fire. At Dum Dum we stand beside the priest, quietly recording the moment ghee touches the agni, the mangalya thread circles the bride’s neck, and the prayer bell rings. We see the bride’s gentle nod during kanyadaan, smile at the groom’s playful Kashi Yatra return, and frame cousins showering akshata rice in blessing. Laja homa sparks send tiny embers upward while elders whisper mantras of prosperity. The seven steps follow at an unhurried pace, each vow sealed with a glance of trust. We move to that steady rhythm, guiding portraits only when asked and letting the ceremony’s grace unfold naturally.
