Indian Weddings in Jersey City: photography & video

An Indian wedding is rarely a single day. Between the haldi, mehndi, sangeet, baraat, ceremony and reception, there can be four or five events across a long weekend, each with its own colors, music and rituals. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers can cover one event or all of them, and we plan each day with you so the coverage follows your family's traditions rather than a generic wedding checklist.

Jersey City is a major city in New Jersey, home to roughly 264,000 people. We cover Indian wedding events at wedding and reception venues across the area, from Liberty House Restaurant, Liberty Science Center and Hyatt Regency Jersey City on the Hudson to private homes, restaurants and community halls.

Hindu, Sikh, Jain and regional ceremonies all follow their own order, and the most important moments, such as the jaimala, kanyadaan, the pheras around the sacred fire, the sindoor and mangalsutra, or the laavan in a gurdwara, happen quickly. We ask about your rituals in advance, coordinate with your priest or granthi and planner, and position ourselves so we capture these moments without getting in the way of the family or the officiant.

For a typical Indian wedding, clients in Jersey City book about 6 hours of photography ($750) and 6 hours of videography ($1,300). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Jersey City costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Henna designs being applied, the bride's hands and feet in detail, and the music and dancing that fill the afternoon around her.

Planning tips

Planning your coverage in Jersey City

Map out every event

Send us a schedule for each day with start times, locations and the key rituals. This lets us suggest hours per event and plan travel between venues.

Book hours per event, not per weekend

A haldi or mehndi is often covered well in 2 to 3 hours, while the baraat and ceremony usually need 4 to 6 and the reception 4 to 5. You only pay for the hours you need.

Plan for light and the mandap

Haldi and mehndi photograph best in daylight or near windows. For the ceremony, let us know where the mandap will stand and whether there will be a sacred fire, so we can choose lenses and positions.

Add a second photographer or videographer

Large guest lists and simultaneous preparations, such as the bride getting ready while the baraat assembles, are easier to cover with a second photographer or second videographer.
