LUMIÈRE is a darkroom for memories that refuse to fade. Editorial, honest, couture light — Jaipur, Mumbai, Delhi & worldwide. Crafting Indian weddings with Parisian light. Documentary honesty × couture light, from Udaipur palaces to Bandra ateliers. Marigold, film & heart first.
“They don’t take photos. They preserve feelings.”
— VOGUE INDIA, EDITOR'S PICKNo stiff posing. No trends that age in 18 months. Just honest light — the laugh between the pheras, the marigold in her hair, the quiet after the dhol fades. We shoot on film because it forces us to wait. And waiting is where truth — jaise roshni — lives.
We don’t sell hours. We craft experiences — from intimate mehndi to 500-guest palace reception. Tap to expand — hover on desktop.

2014. C-Scheme, Jaipur & Le Marais, Paris. No business plan, just a belief: photographs should feel like exhaling after the varmala. We shot our first wedding for chai and a train ticket from Jaipur to Udaipur. They still have the album — with marigold pressed inside.
Contax 645, Leica M6, Hasselblad. Portra 400, Tri-X. We develop in-house in Jaipur. No presets. Each frame hand-coloured in the darkroom above the studio. Slow is the point — jaise chai dhire banti hai.
We take 24 weddings a year — max. Not to be exclusive, but to stay devoted. From palace pheras to Bandra brunches. When you book us, you get us. Not associates. Not templates.
Read the Journal → Behind the scenes & field notes from Jaipur“They made our 3-day palace wedding feel effortless. From mehndi chaos to the quiet pheras — they captured it exactly how it felt. Nani is still crying over the album.”
“Every shoot with LUMIÈRE pays for itself. They understand Indian textiles, light and desire. Our bookings doubled after the new lookbook.”
“I have never liked photos of myself until this. In my red saree, 34 weeks — she captured something I did not know was visible. I cried, mum cried.”
