Non-Resident Indians planning their Indian wedding from abroad face unique challenges. Here's how to choose and coordinate with your wedding photographer remotely.
The NRI Wedding Photography Challenge
Every year, thousands of Non-Resident Indian couples return to India to celebrate their wedding — bringing together diaspora family and friends from around the world with their Indian family and heritage. Coordinating a wedding from London, New York, or Dubai is complex. Coordinating your wedding photography from abroad adds another layer of challenge.
At Weddings Mafia, approximately 25% of our annual bookings come from NRI couples. We have built our consultation and delivery systems specifically to serve international clients seamlessly.
How to Choose a Wedding Photographer from Abroad
Step 1: Virtual Portfolio Review
We send every prospective NRI client a curated set of 5 complete wedding galleries (not just highlights) via a private online link. Review these at your own time, across multiple sessions, to understand our full capability.
Step 2: Video Consultation
Book a 45-minute Google Meet or Zoom consultation with our founder Ritik Dixit. We recommend scheduling this at a time that works for your international timezone — we accommodate EST, GMT, GST, and AEDT time zones.
Step 3: References from Previous NRI Clients
We provide references from NRI couples we have previously photographed — in their city if possible. Hearing directly from someone who managed the entire process from abroad is tremendously reassuring.
Step 4: International Payment
We accept international bank transfers, PayPal, and Wise for our NRI clients. We provide all necessary documentation for foreign currency transactions.
