Upanayanam photography in Chennai

A once-in-a-lifetime ceremony for your son, covered step by step with respect for the rituals and the priests.

An Upanayanam has many important steps: the Udakashanti, the first Brahmopadesam, the wearing of the Poonal, the Bhiksha. We know the order of the ceremony and position ourselves so that we capture each step clearly without disturbing the priests or the family.

Traditional photography and video record the full ceremony and every relative who blesses the boy. Candid photography adds the expressions of the boy and his parents, which families treasure the most years later.

You receive edited soft copies to choose from, an edited video, and a 12×36 acrylic pad album.
