Rakesh and the Raxprit Images team are Leicester wedding photographers and cinematographers specialising in Indian and Asian weddings. We blend candid photojournalism with cinematic wedding films.
Hi — I’m Rakesh, founder of Raxprit Images. For more than 17 years I’ve made it my mission to document Asian weddings across Leicester, the UK and beyond with sensitivity, colour and storytelling. As a team of specialised wedding photographers and cinematographers, we focus on Indian and Asian ceremonies — Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati and Muslim — and bring an experienced, culturally aware eye to every event. Why choose Raxprit Images? We combine a documentary-led approach with considered portraiture. On the day we capture the energy of pre-wedding rituals, the emotion of the ceremony and the laughter and dance at the reception by using a blend of candid, photojournalistic shots and carefully crafted portraits. We guide couples into flattering poses when needed, yet we know when to fade into the background so natural, unscripted moments can shine. Our style is about light, composition and authentic emotion — photos that look as timeless as the memories they hold. Cinematography is a core part of what we do. Our videography team creates cinematic wedding films that weave together preparations, vows, speeches and celebrations into a moving narrative. We deploy modern filmmaking techniques and professional equipment to ensure your film feels cinematic without ever overpowering the day. Every shot is chosen to tell the story of your wedding in a way that’s true to your traditions and personalities. How we work with couples: it starts with a conversation. We take time to understand your schedule, the rituals that matter most and any venue-specific needs. Many couples choose a pre-wedding shoot to become comfortable in front of the camera — a practical and fun way to build trust before the big day. On the wedding day we stay discreet, professional and respectful of cultural etiquette (for example, Gurdwara or temple customs), ensuring we capture each ceremony with appropriate sensitivity. What drives us is the privilege of preserving family history. Being a Britain Asian Wedding Awards finalist for five consecutive years reflects our commitment to quality and service, but the real reward is seeing couples and families relive their day through our photos and films. Based in Leicester, we’re proud to serve couples across the UK and internationally, crafting visual stories that will be treasured for generations.
