What a wedding photographer must get right for a Jain wedding

Directing the couple to repeat a ritual moment for a better frame. In a sequence with a fixed muhurat that is not a small ask, and in a derasar it may not be permitted at all.

The requirements

Specific and checkable. Take this list to any wedding photographer in your city.

  • Ask before photographing inside a derasar — many do not permit it at all, and permission comes from the temple, not the family
  • No flash during the pujan sequences unless it has been cleared
  • Know the Vinayakyantra Pujan and where to stand for it; it is short and it will not be repeated for the camera

Ask them this

Word for word. The answers tell you more than the portfolio does.

  • “Have you shot inside a derasar before, and did you get permission yourself or did the family?”
  • “How do you light a ceremony where flash is not allowed?”

Who has confirmed they do this

Nobody yet — we are still calling. We speak to around 150 Gujarat wedding vendors a week, and we are now asking each one whether they meet this brief. Only vendors who tell us yes, directly, will appear here.

We could have filled this section by guessing which businesses are Jain from their names. That would have been quicker and it would have been made up. The list below stays empty until it is real.

Are you a wedding photographer who meets this brief? Tell us and we will list you. No fee, now or ever.
