Authentic Storytelling
No forced poses. We document the day as it actually unfolds — the tears, the laughter, the in-between.
About the studio · Est. 2014
We don't shoot weddings.
We remember them.
Wedding Story Nepal is a small, intentional studio of photographers and filmmakers. For twelve years, we've quietly documented the people, rituals and unscripted moments that make a Nepali wedding feel like a lifetime in a single day.

Our Story
A twelve-year love letter to Nepali weddings.
From a single borrowed camera to two studios and a team of twelve — here's how we got here.
- 2014
A first frame
Two friends, one borrowed camera, and a backyard mehendi in Butwal. The studio is unofficially born.
- 2017
A second city
We open our Kathmandu studio and start documenting Newar, Hindu and inter-cultural ceremonies side by side.
- 2020
Films, properly
Our cinematic team grows. Long-form wedding films, same-day edits and teasers become a signature offering.
- 2023
Beyond borders
Destination weddings take us to Pokhara, Lumbini, Goa and Bali — always with the same intimate approach.
- 2026
Now
850+ weddings, a team of 12 storytellers, and one quiet obsession: making images that age well.
The Founder
Hari Krishna Gyawali
Founder · Lead Photographer
"I grew up in a family where every wedding was a four-day affair — and the only photographs that survived were a handful of blurry studio portraits. I started this studio so that no one's grandchildren would have to ask the same question I did: what did it actually feel like?"
— Hari
What we believe
Four things that shape every frame.
Cinematic Craft
Painterly light, considered composition, films that feel like cinema rather than a recap reel.
Discreet Presence
We move like guests, not paparazzi. Your family barely notices we're there until the album arrives.
Lifetime Archive
Hand-edited, color-graded and delivered in a private gallery you can revisit for decades.
The Process
From hello to heirloom — in five steps.
