Capturing Mehendi and Holud: Colour, Light and Ritual

Mehendi and Holud are full of colour, music and emotion. How to plan these ceremonies so every ritual is captured beautifully.

Mehendi and Holud are some of the most colourful days of a South Asian wedding — full of music, laughter and family traditions.

Share the order of the rituals with your photographer in advance, so nothing important happens while they are in the other room. A short list of key family members helps too.

Light matters indoors. If possible, place the stage near a window or ask the venue for warm, even lighting instead of strong coloured spots.

Most of all, enjoy it. The real emotion — a grandmother’s smile, friends dancing, turmeric on cheeks — is what makes these photos timeless.
