From mehendi to bhangra, every moment is a photo-worthy party!
When it comes to Punjabi weddings, there’s no such thing as too much. It’s a riot of colors, emotions, rituals, and non-stop dancing! So, naturally, Punjabi Wedding Photography needs to be just as vibrant and full of energy.
If you’re planning a Punjabi wedding in Kolkata or Howrah, and looking for the perfect lens to capture the madness, joy, and raw emotion of your celebration — you’ve landed on the right blog.
We at Kolkata Wedding Photographers live for the chaos, the glam, and of course — the dance floor drama.
1. Haldi Hai Toh Brightness Zaroori Hai!
The Haldi ceremony is where it all begins — marigolds, turmeric, family, and laughter.
Photography Tip: Use natural sunlight, yellow filters, floral backdrops, and candid angles for the smeared-with-love moments.
Don’t Miss: The group splash shot and the bride running away in yellow flip-flops.
2. Sangeet & Dance Floor Frenzy – Bring on the Bhangra!
If there’s one thing a Punjabi wedding guarantees — it’s a crazy dance floor!
Photography Magic: High-speed bursts, motion blur effects, low-light LED backdrops, and aerial drone shots of the sangeet crowd.
Must-Have: Groom’s solo dance moment + aunties with sunglasses + bride’s bestie group choreography!
3. Baraat Madness – Dhol, Horses & Hype
You haven’t seen fun until you’ve seen a Punjabi Baraat.
Pro tip: Use a GoPro for first-person dhol shots. Capture those dancing shoes, the lifted uncles, the groom on the ghodi (or even in a vintage car!).
In Kolkata? Locations like Rajarhat or Park Street with wide roads are great for baraat entry visuals!
4. Anand Karaj – The Sacred Vows at the Gurudwara
After the madness comes peace. The Anand Karaj is calm, graceful, and soulful.
We go silent-mode here — capturing minimalistic, respectful portraits, focus on folded hands, pheras, and the quiet emotion on parents’ faces.
Bonus: Use soft light, clean white tones, and gold detailing to enhance the Sikh ceremonial aesthetics.
5. Bridal Entry – Because She Deserves the Spotlight
Punjabi brides don’t walk in — they make an entrance. Be it under a phoolon ki chaadar, to her favorite song, or with cousins dancing beside her — it’s a showstopper.
Photography Style: Wide lens, dramatic angles, slow-motion clips, and drone perspectives.
Mood: “Desi Girl meets Bollywood Diva”
6. Couple Portraits – With Swag & Sass
Punjabi couples bring personality and power poses!
Ideas:
Matching sunglasses
Dupatta in the air slow-motion
Dhol props
Night portraits in fairy lights
Candid laughter while teasing each other
7. Reception Glam – Royalty on the Ramp
Velvet lehengas, bandhgalas, chandeliers and very Punjabi photo booths! The reception night is all about style and celebration.
Go bold with LED lights, glossy black backgrounds, and editorial-style couple portraits.
