About Verma Photography
A New York studio of full-time photographers, videographers and editors, led by Jay Verma, photographing and filming weddings for 10 years.
Verma Photography is a wedding and event photography and videography studio in New York. Jay Verma leads a team of full-time photographers, videographers and editors, so your coverage, from the first shoot to the final edit, stays with one studio.
Built for weddings that run for days
Many of the weddings we cover are not one event. They are a Haldi in the morning and a Mehndi the night before, a Sangeet with both families on the dance floor, a ceremony, and a reception that may follow American traditions. One of our couples celebrated over four days. We plan coverage around that whole arc, so each event gets proper attention and your story holds together from the first ritual to the last dance.
Every tradition, done properly
We photograph and film weddings from across South Asia and its diaspora, and we learn your order of events before the day so we know when the Thaali is tied, when the Laavan begin or when the Nikah is signed, and where we need to stand.
- South Indian weddings: Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayali
What couples tell us
Reviews from our couples talk about a friendly team, professionalism, attention to detail, on-time delivery and an experience that felt easy. They also tell us we were there for every event. You can read them on our reviews page.
More than weddings
We also cover engagement and pre-wedding shoots, proposals, anniversaries, birthdays, sweet 16s and corporate events, portraits and staff headshots, and drone photo and video. Your photographs can come as digital files, albums or canvas prints.
Where we work
We cover all of New York, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, and all of New Jersey. We also travel for destination weddings. See the areas we serve, or tell us about your wedding.
How our team is organized
Photography, film and editing under one studio.
Photographers
Our photographers cover the stills, from the details in the morning to the dance floor at night. On larger weddings, more than one photographer means both families and both sides of the day are covered.
Videographers
Our videographers film the day and record the vows, mantras and speeches, working alongside the photographers rather than around them.
Editors
Our editors turn the coverage into your galleries and films. They are part of the same studio, so they can talk directly with the team who were at your wedding.
The studio
Planning, questions and your order of events come through our studio in New York, so you deal with one team from inquiry to delivery.
Why we focus on multi-day cultural weddings
A wedding that runs across several days asks more of a team than a single event. The same faces need to appear across the Haldi, the Sangeet and the reception. Relatives change outfits and roles from one day to the next. And the order of the rituals matters deeply to the families.
Covering the full arc also means your families get to know our team over the weekend, and that ease shows in the photographs and films.
One studio, from the first ritual to the last edit
Photography, film and editing, all from our team in New York.
Jay Verma leads the studio
Jay Verma owns and leads Verma Photography. He has built a team of full-time photographers, videographers and editors, so couples work with one studio throughout rather than a different set of people for each part of the day.
When you get in touch, your events, your traditions and the team they need are planned together at the studio.

What Couples Say About Working With Jay’s Team
In their own words on Google: four-day weddings, Diwali parties, anniversaries and more.
A Virk
From start to finish, Jay and his entire team made our wedding experience effortless, joyful, and incredibly special. We had a four-day wedding celebration with a mix of Indian and American events, and somehow they captured everything, every emotion, every ritual, every candid moment, without ever feeling intrusive or stressful. Jay is not only an insanely talented photographer, but also a calm, organized, and reassuring presence. His team kept everything running smoothly, helped guide us when needed, and truly understood the flow and importance of both cultures. From Punjabi ceremonies to the American wedding events, they knew exactly what moments mattered and how to document them beautifully. What stood out most was how easy they made the entire process. During a long, multi-day wedding, that peace of mind is priceless. If you are looking for a photography team that is professional, culturally fluent, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely invested in your experience, I cannot recommend Verma Photography enough. We would choose them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone and everyone.

When you work with Verma Photography, you don't just get amazing photos and videos to remember your events by. You also have a lot of fun and feel valued as a client. We hired Verma Photography for our destination wedding and we had a wonderful time working with them. They all were kind and professional, they kept us smiling and laughing throughout the whole weekend, they were respectful of our time and our schedule, and they interacted very well with our guests and vendors. They understand that it isn't just about the photos and videos, but also being able to read the clients' needs, energy, comfort level, and vision. Leading up to our wedding, they took the time to understand what our vision was. They showed great enthusiasm and professionalism from start to finish. They were always prepared and on time, and they handled challenges very well. The entire Verma Photography team works really hard while striving to give the best results. We enjoyed working with them, we loved the photos and videos they delivered, and we know we'll be looking to hire them again in the future. The entire experience that we had working with Verma Photography exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them for any of your photo and video needs!
