Telugu Photography and Videography – CandleLight Studio Capturing the once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Our team of photographers is experienced and understands the traditional cultures of Telugu weddings. We know exactly what needs to be captured during Telugu Ceremonies.

Pellikuturu, or the Haldi ceremony, is celebrated with many pomp and show, one or two days before the wedding day. In this ritual, naluga (a paste of flour and turmeric), with aromatic oils, is smeared on the bride’s body, followed by a holy bath for a thorough cleanse. A similar ceremony called Pellikoduku takes place at the groom’s house. It is a fantastic opportunity to cover the bride and groom in their glory, as friends and elders smear them with bright yellow paste. CandleLight Studio videographers will record every moment of the Pellikuturu and Pellikoduku ceremony with flattering angles and lighting for amazing videos and photo results.

Mangala Snanam takes place in the morning. Both bride and groom are given ceremonial baths, and an auspicious time is decided. It is a tricky affair here as the couple shouldn’t look wet and miserable. But don’t worry – Indian photographers shoot from such an angle that the essence of the ritual is captured brilliantly.

The Kashi Yatra is fun, where the groom pretends to depart for Kashi by leaving worldly pleasures behind. It is up to the bride’s brother to stop and convince him to marry his sister. Once the groom says yes, he is welcomed by the bride’s parents. It can be a hilarious video capturing the entire event. CandleLight Studio photographers capture these amusing moments, where the groom runs away, and the bride’s brother tries everything to stop him.

Ganesh & Gauri Pooja on the mandap is the next thing. Then it is time for the bride and groom to do the Ganesh and Gauri Pooja, respectively in the mandap. Telugu weddings have lavish mandaps embellished with gorgeous decorations – Indian photographers shoot them from every possible angle. The bride’s entry is grand and filmed beautifully. In some traditions, she is seated in a straw basket and carried to the mandap by her maternal uncle. The couple is separated by a curtain and not supposed to look at each other. We take pictures when the bride’s parents wash the groom’s feet and offer their daughter’s hand to the groom. CandleLight Studio team takes videos and photos of Jellakara-Bellam when cumin and jaggery paste is placed on the couple’s hands. The curtain is removed once Kanyadaan Kanyadanam and Panigrahanam rituals are completed.

The groom ties the sacred mangalsutra around the bride’s neck. This holy yellow thread is smeared with haldi – we zoom in on it as a special meaning. After this, the pandit chants mantras while the couple showers each other’s heads with pearls, thermocol balls, or rice colored by turmeric paste. Another enjoyable game is when a gold ring is dropped into a pot of milk and rose petals, and the bride and groom put their arms inside to see who picks it first. This is an exciting moment indeed. Indian photographers take close-up shots to capture the expressions on the couple’s faces and their loved ones.

The garland exchange is also a colorful affair, while the couple is showered with flowers and turmeric-colored rice. Now comes the most important part – Saptapadi and Sthaalipaakam, where the couple takes seven rounds circling the holy fire and recites marriage vows to each other. We pan our video cameras well to take close and wide-angle shots. The video is generally shot in a continuous sequence. Finally, the priest takes the couple out of the mandap to spot the Arundhati Nakshatram (star) in the sky. Our team of Indian photographers takes pictures of the radiant smiles on the newlyweds’ faces, which are priceless for sure!
