WEDDINGS
Lumière by Aishia is an Orange County wedding photographer specializing in South Asian weddings, East Asian weddings, and multicultural celebrations across Southern California, Los Angeles,, and the Bay Area. We follow the light, find the real moments, and make images that feel like memories you can hold.
ENGAGEMENT
Your Southern California engagement session should feel like the best version of your relationship — easy, unhurried, and completely yours.
At Lumière by Aishia, we photograph couples across Orange County, Los Angeles, and Malibu with a relaxed, editorial approach. Golden hour cliffs, garden settings, city streets — wherever you feel most like yourselves, we'll find the magic there.
Let's turn an ordinary evening into something you'll keep forever.
ELOPEMENT/CIVIL CEREMONY
Some love stories don't need a ballroom.
At Lumière by Aishia, we photograph elopements across Orange County, Los Angeles, and Southern California for couples who want something intimate and entirely their own. Laguna Beach cliffs, historic courthouses, Malibu coastline, somewhere completely off the map — we'll be there for all of it.
Civil ceremonies, intimate celebrations, destination elopements throughout California. If you have a place in mind, we'll make it work. If you need help choosing, we love that conversation too.
Curious to see how I turn moments into memories?
The Process, Made SimpleFrom first hello to final gallery, here’s how it all comes together.
I. The Call.
Every great wedding starts with a conversation.
We’ll hop on a call to talk through your vision, your events, and how you want everything to feel. I’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and make sure we’re the right fit.
This is where everything starts to come together.
II. The Planning.
This is where it gets real.
From timeline guidance to location ideas and lighting, I’ll help you think through everything that actually impacts your photos — not just how it looks, but how it flows.
You won’t be left guessing what to do or when to do it.
Everything is intentional, so your day feels effortless.
III. The Wedding.
You show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
I’ll guide you when you need it — down to your fingertips — and step back when the moment is already perfect on its own.
Fixing your dupatta, adjusting details, keeping things on track… all while documenting everything as it naturally unfolds.
So you can stay present, and actually enjoy it.
IV. The Reveal
Your gallery arrives within eight weeks — and with it, every quiet moment, every stolen glance, every part of the day you were too present to notice. This is yours to keep forever.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Most couples book 8–14 months in advance, especially for multi-day South Asian weddings and peak season dates in Southern California.
If your date is already set, I’d recommend reaching out as soon as possible to check availability.
-
Yes. I would be so honored to travel to your wedding! Travel fees will simply be evaluated at the time of the consultation call then added to your package. I will reserve my travel and accommodations 3 months prior to the wedding.
-
Most couples invest in full wedding photography or multi-day coverage to ensure everything is documented seamlessly.
Wedding photography collections start at $4,800, and photo + video coverage typically begins at $9,000.
Every proposal is tailored based on your events, coverage needs, and overall vision — so you’re only getting what actually fits your day.
-
Yes — the majority of my work is South Asian weddings, including multi-day celebrations like Haldi, Sangeet, Baraat, and reception.
I’m very familiar with the flow, traditions, and pace of these events, which allows me to anticipate moments and capture them naturally.
-
That’s completely normal.
Most of my couples feel this way at first. I’ll guide you through everything in a way that feels natural and easy, so nothing ever feels forced or uncomfortable.
-
Yes — engagement sessions are available and often included when booking photo + video.
They’re also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day.
-
You can expect your wedding gallery within 8 weeks from your wedding date. In addition, you will also receive sneak peeks within one week to share the highlights with your loved ones.
-
We'll begin planning your engagement session with a detailed questionnaire that helps me understand not only your location preferences, but also your dynamic as a couple and how you want to remember this season of your life. Your engagement gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks.
About two months before your wedding day, we'll hop on a timeline planning call—think of it as our "dry run" where we walk through every moment of your day together. I'll hear what you're most excited about and ensure we're aligned on the milestone events that matter most to you. Most importantly, we'll make sure there's plenty of breathing room in your timeline so you can actually enjoy and be present for your celebration, not just rush through it
