Sanjay Thevaparan

I’m Sanjay, the photographer behind Mandap & Muhurtham. Raised in a Tamil household in Connecticut, I bring a personal understanding of the rituals, relationships, and quiet moments that give an Indian wedding its meaning.


My approach pairs thoughtful portraits with an attentive eye for the day as it unfolds. The ceremony matters. So do the people beside you, the anticipation before it begins, and the joy that follows.


Based in Connecticut, I photograph celebrations across New York, New England, and beyond.

our every day a day in paradise."

Let's connect

"Every wedding tells a story that deserves to be honoured, not just documented. I'd love to help you preserve yours, one sacred moment at a time."
