Indian wedding photography and cinematic 4K films in Washington DC and Maryland.
Overview
Washington has a height limit, so there is sky in every frame here.
The monuments are federal parkland, the diagonals mean you are never more than a few minutes from the next backdrop, and the light coming off the Tidal Basin in the hour before sunset is the reason most of our couples pick this city. We have shot here, and we know which parts need a permit. A wedding in Washington works around a city that has its own schedule. Motorcades close streets with no notice, the monuments empty out at different hours depending on the season, and a Saturday in April is not the same city as a Saturday in August. We plan the day around that instead of hoping for a clear run. A thousand weddings teaches you when to be close and when to disappear. You will not be posing for us, waiting on us, or looking around for us. Our teams have shot across India's traditions and across the USA, and the part that matters on your day is that nobody has to explain the running order to us. Give us a date and a vision board, or just a few ideas, and we will build the day's coverage around them. We shoot Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi and Sikh, North Indian, Gujarati and Marwari, Muslim and Christian weddings, along with the roka, mehendi, haldi and sangeet in the days before. Every wedding is shot and filmed in 4K, across every ceremony and reception, and editing is tailored to your taste, not a template.
The package
Fully edited photo sets — a complete, privately delivered gallery for every event you book; a complete wedding film covering the entire celebration, delivered as quick highlights for reels and full-length videos; coverage of every tradition and ceremony; aerial-style height shot from rooftops and upper floors (drones are banned over Washington); a private online gallery shareable with relatives anywhere and kept live and backed up; and a hand-designed Love Story Book.
Extras
Details
No travel fee anywhere for premium bookings.
Drones are banned over Washington, so height is shot from rooftops and upper floors. Each National Park Service location is its own permit application with its own fee and a four-day minimum notice, and none of it can be filed by email — which is why we push couples on dates early. Same-day edits are available as an add-on. We also shoot maternity, gender reveals, baby showers, newborn sessions and first birthdays, often with the same photographer you already know.

Questions
Coverage is built around your celebration — anything from 4 to 9 hours, or multi-day. The final rate is shaped by how long you need us for and how big a team you'll need.
Yes — we travel where the celebration takes us, across DC, Maryland and Virginia, and we fly to cities like New Jersey and New York. There is no travel fee anywhere for premium bookings; we set our schedules around your plans and everything around our travel is accounted for.
Yes. As long as you have all the permits required for locations that need them, we are happy to shoot anywhere, and we're happy to walk you through the process of getting your permits. Each NPS location is its own application, with its own fee and a four-day minimum notice, and none of it can be filed by email.
Yes, always. We carry weatherproof gear and clear umbrellas, and we know which indoor backdrops look best if we need to move things.
We make contingency plans for anything that could happen, and we always arrive as early as we're permitted at shoot locations, so unplanned traffic isn't a deterrent for the What A Story team.
Drones are banned over Washington, so we shoot the height from rooftops and upper floors instead.
Yes — same-day edits are offered as an add-on service. Every wedding is shot and filmed in 4K, across every ceremony and reception.
Telugu, Tamil, North Indian, Punjabi and Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Marwari, and Christian weddings, plus roka, thaka, mehendi, haldi and sangeet. If your tradition isn't listed, tell us — we have shot traditions that are not on the page, and we would rather ask than assume.
