We have extremely limited availability for 2025. Request Information

A vibrant, respectful, and expertly organized experience for multi-day South Asian celebrations.

Welcome! We’re DeLong Photography—Shannon and Tim, a husband-and-wife wedding photography team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. We proudly serve couples across the Carolinas and beyond. Indian and South Asian weddings are rich with color, meaning, and community. Our approach blends photojournalism (to capture candid moments across long timelines) with magazine-worthy portraiture (to showcase fashion, décor, and family). We understand the flow of Mehndi, Sangeet, Haldi, Baraat, Varmala/Jaimala, Pheras, and Vidaai, and we’re ready with the right coverage for every moment.

Our love of world travel and curiosity about different cultures have shaped how we approach photography. Every Indian wedding teaches us something new, and it is an honor to learn about and document traditions that are deeply meaningful to you and your families.

What Makes Our Coverage Different

  • Experience with Multi‑Day Events: We plan for multiple events and locations, ensuring seamless coverage from welcome party to reception after‑party.

  • Color-True Editing: Skin tones, outfits, and décor stay rich and accurate—no dull, desaturated edits here.

  • Cultural Respect: We research traditions, coordinate with your family or planner, and follow venue/religious guidelines.

  • Curiosity for Customs: Our passion for learning about cultural traditions and customs helps us capture your celebration with authenticity and sensitivity.

  • Timeline-Savvy: We help structure portraits around rituals, travel time, and hair/makeup so you can stay fully present.

  • Two Lead Photographers: We split to cover simultaneous moments—like Baraat + bridal details or reception room reveal + cocktail hour.

  • Calm, People-First Presence: We’re warm, organized, and unflappable. (Large families and tight schedules? We’ve got you.)

Throughout this process, our appreciation for world traditions shines through. We take the time to understand your family’s unique customs so that every important detail is preserved in your photographs.
