The Kottayam Vibe

Elegance, Heritage, and the Knanaya Spirit.

There is a distinct 'Old Money' elegance to Kottayam weddings, especially the Christian ceremonies. It’s less about noise and more about class.

Our Favorite Part

The Manthrakodi rituals. The red sarees against the vintage ivory of Kottayam’s old churches (like Vimalagiri) create a color palette that is timeless.

The Photographer's Eye

We love the 'Mylanchi' nights here. They are intimate, fun, and full of candid laughter—perfect for our documentary style.

Ideal For: Couples who value tradition, family heritage, and a sophisticated, classy aesthetic.
