South Asian wedding photography refers to wedding photography of activities relating to Indian, Pakistani and other South Asian weddings. Indian weddings are a Rs. 800 billion industry, which is expected to grow by 25% per annum,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/todays-paper/tp-others/tp-variety/article1665705.ece )〕 with a significant part dedicated to photography. Indian weddings are significantly different from western marriages. While the western marriage rituals have become common in many countries, they have not become common in India except among the Christians. Indian weddings use bold colors, not white. Loud music is considered to be proper during parts of an Indian marriage. The ceremonies are elaborate and can take considerable time even when condensed. An Indian marriage is traditionally a public affair, with the bridegroom taken in a procession through the town. Even a modest Indian wedding can have several hundred participants, who are all thought to be "relatives and close family friends". By convention a photographer is required to include each guest in at least one photograph which includes the bride and the groom. These factors make photographing an Indian wedding significantly different from western weddings. Wedding photography is a now a major commercial endeavor in India that supports the bulk of the efforts for many photographers. There are photographers outside of India that specialize in Indian weddings. Bright colors such as red and orange are considered appropriate, and the photographs often use saturated colors.〔Vivah - Design a Perfect Hindu Wedding by Meenal Atul Pandya〕 Generally Indian wedding proceedings do not pause for photographs, requiring the photographers to anticipate the next event and be ready with the right angle.
