If you’re planning a South Asian wedding in the GTA — a Sikh Anand Karaj, a Hindu ceremony, or both — you don’t need a photographer who’s going to Google how the day flows the night before.

I’m Bobby. I’m Punjabi and Sikh, I grew up in this community, and I photograph weddings right across it — Anand Karajs at gurdwaras like Nanaksar, Dashmesh Darbar and Ontario Khalsa Darbar, Hindu ceremonies under the mandap, and mixed weddings that bring both together in one weekend. The Embassy Grand, Chandni Banquet Hall, the baraat rolling through a Brampton street at 9am — this is familiar territory. I don’t need a map and I don’t need a briefing. I just need your timeline.

About Still Motion Frames

There’s a difference between a photographer who has shot a few South Asian weddings and one who has spent a decade living them.

Since 2016, I’ve photographed more than 200 South Asian weddings — first from the back of the darbar as a second shooter, learning the rhythm of an Anand Karaj, then stepping into the lead role over the last several years. Still Motion Frames is the name I put on that work today: a smaller, more deliberate practice, built on everything those years taught me. I keep my bookings intentionally limited, so every couple I work with gets my full attention — there are no retakes at a wedding, no second chances at the moment your parents see you for the first time.

I’m Punjabi and Sikh, and today I photograph as many Hindu and mixed-faith weddings as Sikh ones — an Anand Karaj in the morning and a Hindu ceremony under the mandap the same weekend is familiar ground. I speak Punjabi with your parents and grandparents to make them feel at home and involved, English with you. I know when the baraat is about to move before anyone announces it, I know the light inside a packed gurdwara hall or under a mandap, and I know that your Maiyan or Haldi is going to run forty-five minutes late — I’ve already planned for it.

Still Motion Frames is built around one idea: your gallery should feel like reliving your week — the milni, the Anand Karaj or the pheras, the tears during the doli or vidaai, the dancefloor at the reception — not scrolling a stranger’s highlight reel. The wedding day and reception are each covered by two photographers and delivered in full resolution, about three months later. When it lands, I want you to open it and feel like you’re right back there. Some moments only a frame can hold.


This Is Your Community. It’s Mine Too.

From the Haldi and Mehndi to the Jaggo, the Sangeet to the reception, I’ve been navigating South Asian, Sikh and Hindu wedding traditions from the inside for years. That means less explaining and more anticipating — I’m already in position for the moment before it happens, so you get to simply be present at your own wedding.

Gurdwaras, Mandirs & Venues

I know these spaces the way most photographers know their own living room.

I’ve photographed Anand Karajs at Nanaksar, Dashmesh Darbar and Ontario Khalsa Darbar, Hindu ceremonies at Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton and Vishnu Mandir in Richmond Hill, and receptions at venues like the Embassy Grand and Chandni Banquet Hall.

From Brampton and Mississauga to Vaughan and Richmond Hill, I already know the light, the layout and the rhythm of these rooms — so on your wedding day I’m anticipating the moments, not learning the space.


No surprises on your wedding day — because we’ve already talked through everything.

01

Pre-Wedding Consult

We go through inspiration photos, your timeline, family dynamics and the moments that matter most. By the time I show up to your Haldi, Jaggo or Maiyan, there are no surprises on either end.

02

Two Photographers On The Day

On the wedding day and at the reception, no exceptions. The baraat and the bridal prep happen at the same time — and so do we.

03

Your Gallery

Delivered in approximately three months, full resolution, on a private online gallery — every real moment of your week, not just the posed ones.

Frequently Asked

Questions couples ask before booking.

A few of the things we’re asked most often. Have a question that isn’t here? Get in touch and I’ll answer it personally.

Deeply — I’m Punjabi and Sikh, and I’ve photographed South Asian weddings across the GTA since 2016, from Sikh Anand Karajs to Hindu ceremonies under the mandap. I know the flow of the day and the customs — the jaimala, the pheras, the vidaai, the doli — and the gurdwaras, mandirs and banquet halls across the region, so I’m anticipating key moments rather than reacting to them.

Yes. I know the customs and the rules — covering your head, where a photographer can and can’t stand during the Anand Karaj, respecting the Guru Granth Sahib, and working discreetly under the mandap. I’ve photographed in gurdwaras and mandirs across the GTA and beyond, so I know how to capture the moments without ever interrupting the sanctity of the ceremony.

My style is documentary — I capture your day as it actually happens: the emotion of the milni, the Anand Karaj or the pheras, the tears at the doli, the energy on the dancefloor. I’ll still guide you through family portraits and a relaxed couple’s session, but the heart of your gallery is the real, unscripted moments rather than stiff, over-posed setups.

Yes. Most couples book full-day or multi-day coverage that spans the pre-wedding events (Haldi, Mehndi, Jaggo, Maiyan, Sangeet), the ceremony — whether that’s a Sikh Anand Karaj, a Hindu ceremony under the mandap, or both — and the reception. Your wedding day and reception are covered by two photographers, so nothing is missed while the baraat and bridal prep are happening at once.

Absolutely — mixed weddings are a big part of what I do. If your celebration brings together a Sikh Anand Karaj and a Hindu ceremony, or two different cultures entirely, I’ll help you plan a timeline that gives each tradition its moment and captures all of it seamlessly.

Yes — every booking includes a pre-wedding consultation where we go through your events, family dynamics and the moments that matter most. Together we’ll build a timeline that leaves room for the photos you want, from the Maiyan and Jaggo to the ceremony and reception, without ever feeling rushed.

You’ll receive roughly 100 fully-edited images per hour of coverage, delivered in full resolution on a private online gallery in approximately three months. You’re free to download, print and share every image.

Your photos are delivered on a private online gallery, and you can order professional prints right from it through an approved print lab in your area. I’ll personally proof your prints before they go to print, so the colour and quality are exactly right.

Still Motion Frames is a photography studio, but if you’d like one team for both photo and video, I work with a videographer I trust and can put together a combined quote. Just mention it when you reach out.

I’m based in Brampton and regularly photograph weddings across the Greater Toronto Area — Mississauga, Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Scarborough and Ajax — as well as destination weddings. If you’re getting married outside the GTA, just ask.

Yes. I’m based in Brampton, but I travel for destination weddings and have recently photographed Sikh and South Asian celebrations in Cancun, California, Germany, Italy and New York. Tell me where and when, and I’ll put together a quote that includes travel.

As early as you can. Popular dates — especially summer and long-weekend weddings — get claimed first, and I keep my bookings intentionally limited each year so every couple gets my full attention. Many couples reach out 9–12 months ahead, but if your date is sooner, still get in touch and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m free.

In ten years and more than 200 weddings, I’ve never missed a wedding or lost a single event’s footage — and that comes down to how I work, not luck. I carry multiple camera bodies, lenses and flashes, and I record to two memory cards at once through your entire day, so there’s always a duplicate as it’s captured. Afterward, your footage is backed up in two separate locations until your gallery is delivered. And in the rare case of a genuine emergency, I’m part of a trusted network of colleagues who can step in — so your day is always covered.

Every wedding is quoted around your specific events and timeline. As a starting guide: pre-event coverage (Jaggo, Maiyan or Sangeet) starts at $600, Anand Karaj day coverage starts at $4,000, and a wedding-plus-reception package starts at $5,500 — a typical full Sikh wedding week runs around $6,700. Every package includes a pre-wedding consultation, two photographers on the wedding and reception days, and a full-resolution online gallery.

Send me your dates and a few details through the contact form and I’ll come back to you within 24 hours with availability and a tailored quote.

After our first meeting, once we’ve mapped out your timeline and a quote to match, booking is simple: when you’re ready to go ahead, a 30% retainer secures your date, and the balance is due two weeks before your first event.


Serving All Of The GTA

Based in Brampton, at home anywhere across the GTA.

I photograph weddings right across the Greater Toronto Area — from Brampton and Mississauga to Toronto, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Scarborough, Ajax, Caledon and Milton.

And I travel for destination weddings — recently an Anand Karaj at Moon Palace in Cancun, a multi-day Sikh wedding across Germany, an engagement at Greystone Mansion in California, a golden-hour engagement on the New York skyline, and a proposal on Lake Como. If you’re planning a destination Sikh or South Asian wedding, I’d love to be there.
