From the sacred first rituals to the last song of the night — we offer complete wedding photography, films, planning and décor. Based in Chennai. Available anywhere.
A South Indian Hindu wedding is a universe unto itself. The smell of jasmine and camphor. The weight of silk. The chanting of mantras older than memory. The bride's eyes — closed, then open — when the thaali is tied. These are not moments you miss. These are moments you spend months preparing to capture.
Naveen has spent nine years photographing Tamil Brahmin muhurthams, Nadar weddings, Telugu ceremonies, Iyer and Iyengar traditions, and everything in between. He researches each family's customs before the wedding day — so he knows where to be, before the moment even happens.
The best photograph from your wedding will probably be one nobody planned. It'll be your mother laughing with her eyes closed. Your best friend catching a tear before it falls. Your groom watching you walk towards him, forgetting, for a second, that anyone else is in the room.
Candid photography — real, documentary-style storytelling — is where Naveen's work truly comes alive. He moves quietly through weddings like he belongs there, building up to nothing and capturing everything. No staged poses. No asking you to do it again. Just truth.
There is a particular quality of light inside a church during a wedding. It falls through stained glass in colours that feel chosen. It lands on a bride's face at exactly the right moment. And if you're not in position — patient, low, ready — you miss it forever.
Thulir Weddings has documented Christian weddings across Chennai, Kerala, Bangalore, Goa, and internationally — Catholic, CSI, Anglican, Pentecostal and interdenominational ceremonies. Every church is different. Every couple's faith is personal. We honour both.
There are wedding videos, and then there are Thulir wedding films. The difference is intention. Our films are colour-graded frame by frame, scored to music that makes your breath catch, and edited with the rhythm of a story — not a slideshow.
We use full-frame cinema cameras, gimbals, drone aerials, and slow-motion rigs. But the real craft is in the edit — knowing which moment to linger on, when to cut, where the silence should breathe. We've studied cinema. It shows.
A pre-wedding shoot is not about perfect poses. It's about getting comfortable in front of the camera before the most important day of your life. It's about having a conversation with Naveen, understanding how he works, and walking away with images that already feel timeless.
We've shot pre-weddings on the beaches of Pondicherry, in the backwaters of Kerala, on the rooftops of Dubai, in the forests of Coorg, and in streets of ancient European cities. We'll go wherever your story deserves to be told. You name the place. We'll do the rest.
Planning a wedding in India — or a destination wedding from abroad — is a full-time job. Vendors. Timelines. Family expectations. Last-minute crises. Flowers that arrive late and caterers who promised the world. We've seen it all. More importantly, we've fixed it all.
When Thulir Weddings manages your event, you don't spend your wedding morning on the phone with a venue manager. You spend it getting ready, being with your family, and trusting that everything is exactly where it needs to be. Because it will be.
We believe décor shouldn't just be beautiful in person — it should be impossible to photograph badly. Because Naveen understands light, space, and composition, our décor team creates sets that are naturally cinematic. Every arch. Every centrepiece. Every entrance.
From traditional marigold-and-jasmine South Indian mandaps to contemporary floral installations for modern receptions, we design with your culture, your colour palette, and your photographs in mind. The result is a space that feels like it was always meant to be yours.
We've packed our cameras and flown across continents for couples who needed a photographer who understood their culture, their ceremony, and the weight of the day. Wherever your wedding is, we'll be there.
Every wedding is different. These are starting points — not rigid limits. Contact us and we'll build something together that fits your day, your budget, and your vision.
Perfect for intimate ceremonies and couples who want honest, beautiful photography without the full cinematic production.
Our most chosen package — photography plus film, two shooters, full day coverage and everything in between.
The complete Thulir experience — multi-day coverage, event planning, décor consultation, and everything your wedding deserves.
