Luxury Wedding Photography and Videography in New York and New Jersey
Photo and film for large, formal and multi-day weddings across NY and NJ, with a team sized to the day and heirloom albums at the end.
A large wedding asks more of a photography team than a small one. More events, more family, more rooms, more outfit changes, and a higher standard for every frame that ends up in your album. Verma Photography is a luxury wedding photographer and videographer for New York and New Jersey, working from our studio in New York, with full-time photographers, videographers and editors on staff.
Luxury, for us, is not a look. It is the level of care around the work: enough people to cover every part of the day, a plan built with you and your planner, and finished photographs, films and albums that hold up for decades.
What luxury wedding photography means with us
A team sized to the wedding
One photographer cannot be with the bride, the groom and the ballroom at the same time. We staff photographers and videographers for the shape of your day, so both getting-ready rooms, the ceremony and the room details are covered as they happen.Photo and film from one company
Our photographers and videographers plan together and work together on the day, so they share the light and the best angles instead of competing for them.Every event, not only the main one
We cover multi-day weddings that mix Indian and American events, from a Haldi or Mehndi through the ceremony and reception. One of our couples had a four-day wedding.Heirloom albums and prints
Albums and canvas prints are designed with you from the finished edit, so the best of the day lives somewhere other than a phone.Aerial coverage where it is allowed
Drone photo and video shows the estate, the waterfront or the scale of a Baraat in a way the ground cannot.
Luxury wedding videography
A film is often the part of the wedding couples return to most. We offer wedding videography from a highlight film to longer edits of the full ceremony and speeches, and same-day edits: a short film cut during the wedding and screened for your guests the same night. You can watch our films on the films page.
For a large wedding we plan the film with the photography, not as an add-on. Videographers know when the photographer needs a clear line to the couple, and photographers know where the camera for the vows will stand.
Discreet coverage in formal rooms
Ballrooms, estates and hotel venues have their own rhythm: a cocktail hour in one space while the main room is turned, a grand entrance, a timed dinner service. We work with your planner and the venue coordinator so that coverage follows that rhythm. The team dresses to match a formal event, moves quietly during toasts and ceremonies, and keeps equipment out of guests’ way.
We also photograph the room before it fills. Flowers, the stage or mandap, the table settings and the lighting design are a large part of what a luxury wedding is, and they are only perfect for a few minutes.
Luxury Indian weddings
A luxury Indian wedding is often the most complex day a photography team will work: several events, several outfits, a Baraat in the driveway, and a ceremony that needs a team who knows what comes next. Our Indian wedding photography, South Indian and Sikh and Punjabi pages cover the rituals in detail. On a large wedding we split the team across simultaneous events, so a Mehndi and a family puja in two rooms are both covered.
How planning works
We start with a call about the size and shape of your celebration, then build coverage around it: how many events, how many people on our team at each, and which films and albums you want at the end. Packages can be customized with extra hours, albums and prints. Closer to the date we confirm the timeline with you and your planner, along with a family list for the portraits.
Send us your date and we will tell you whether it is open.
Where we work
We photograph luxury weddings across New York and New Jersey: Long Island estates and the Hamptons, ballrooms and hotels in New York City, Westchester and the Hudson Valley, and banquet venues across New Jersey. We also travel for destination weddings.
Who is in the room, and why
A team sized to the day, not a single photographer stretched thin.
On a large wedding the work happens in several places at once. While one photographer is with the bride and her mother, another is with the groom and his brothers, and a videographer is filming the ballroom before the doors open.
We decide the size of the team with you, event by event, so nothing important happens without one of us there.
Where a larger budget actually goes
More people on the day
Extra photographers and videographers so getting ready, the ceremony and the details are covered as they happen.
A same-day edit
A short film cut during the wedding and screened for your guests that night.
Aerial coverage
Drone photo and film of the venue, the grounds and the Baraat, where the venue and the rules allow.
Every event
Coverage of the Haldi, Mehndi, Sangeet and rehearsal dinner, not only the wedding day.
Heirloom albums
Albums designed with you from the finished edit, made to be handed down.
Canvas prints
The photographs you love most, printed large for your home or your parents’ home.
Wedding films that follow every event

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!
