Asian Wedding Photographer | Emotive, Honest & Unscripted
We’ve been fortunate to photograph beautiful Asian weddings from our first in Delhi, to more recent celebrations in the UK — from vibrant Sikh celebrations to intimate Hindu ceremonies and elegant Nikah unions.
Each one is unique. Each one deeply moving.
What we love most is the heart behind the traditions. The way parents hold back tears during blessings. The shared laughter during the Mehndi. The silence just before the vows are spoken. These are the moments we quietly seek out — the ones that feel real, fleeting, and deeply human.
Whether you’re planning a Vivaah Samskar, Anand Karaj, or Nikah, our focus is the same: to respectfully document the energy, emotion and connections that make your day meaningful.
We don’t direct or stage. We observe. We attune. And we react in the split second that truth shows up.
For us, wedding photography is about more than the rituals. It’s about people. Generations coming together, cultures blending, and stories being passed down — not just through words, but through photographs that last a lifetime.
So if you’re looking for an Asian wedding photographer who values the raw, the real and the emotional, we’d love to be part of your journey.
Indian Weddings
Honouring the Moments That Matter Most
In many of the Indian weddings we’ve captured, it’s often the quietest moments that stay with us the longest.
Like the tearful glances during the Vidaai, when a bride prepares to leave her family home — a powerful pause that speaks volumes. Not just for the couple, but for parents, siblings, and generations standing witness. These are moments that don’t announce themselves. They unfold softly, in between the rituals, waiting for someone who’s truly paying attention.
We stay close, but not in the way. Attuned to the room, to the rhythm, to the breath just before emotion breaks. These are the frames that go beyond ceremony — they become legacy.
Japanese Weddings
The precision and ritual behind the preparation for a Japanese wedding is unreal!
It all takes time, but thats part of the joy capturing a Japanese wedding. From the many layers in dressing with a Kimono, to the tea ceremony.
Intuition and capturing the complete sentiment of the day, is what we aspire to do at every wedding celebration.
The tears of joy, along with the tenderness exchanged. A new beginning being celebrated with joy, colour and energy.

This one is still on my to do list!!!

Featured Weddings
We feel so lucky to have had Linus as our wedding photographer.
He captured the subtle, personal moments that made the day so special – all while being seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once. We had many friends and family members comment to us about how wonderful he was on the day. We even had vendors tell us his work is the best they’ve seen. We couldn’t recommend him enough.
Adam & Allison
We were able to just celebrate the day without worrying.
Linus worked so hard to get the pictures we wanted to document our celebration. On the day, Linus was everywhere but nowhere – it was proper fly on the wall stuff! We have ended up with a collection of photos that really tell the story of our day and will help us to remember it for years to come.
Nick & Heather
Once we spoke to him on the phone we knew he was the right person for our wedding!
We chose Linus to capture our Indian Wedding in Cornwall. We could see from his website that he had done Indian weddings before and so had experience in the different ceremonies and nuances of an Indian Wedding. He was calm, and clear about his style and that was exactly what we wanted! His documentary style photography really captures how your wedding looked and felt. We could not have been happier with the photos he took of our wedding! Nothing was too big an ask and we’re so happy we chose Linus.
Sam & Anuja
We are so happy to have a set of photos which will enable us to relive the day so vividly for the rest of our lives.
Linus’s style is so natural and candid that these pictures won’t date or age – no uncomfortable posing and no unnatural filters over anything, they’re just timeless and all of our guests have been blown away by them – many being bought to tears by them. Looking through the full set we got to see so much of the day that both of us had missed, it’s like he was everywhere at all times and yet he was never intrusive. I have no idea how he managed this…it was a big house and somehow he didn’t miss a thing!
Chad & Melanie
Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and we could not ask for them to be anymore perfect.
Linus is an incredible photographer. From day one of planning our Wedding he was engaged with our plans and we had a great meeting telling him all of our ideas right at the very beginning. On the Wedding Day Linus was calm, professional and a great presence to have around. Me and my Husband are not the best in front of the camera, but Linus didn’t make us stand and pose all day, he really captured the natural emotion of the day. Just like it says ‘Subtle, Emotive and Raw’. We can’t thank you enough Linus.

One from the archive, finally making it way onto the new platform.
Allison & Adam’s @WarmwellHouse wedding was everything you dream of — relaxed, elegant, and full of raw, honest moments.
Guests walked from the 13th-century church to the Jacobean manor. There were surprise family arrivals from Australia. The White Stripes played during the couple’s entrance. And the speeches? Equal parts hilarious + heartfelt.
This was storytelling at its best — and we were honoured to capture every second.
