There is already beauty around us. It just needs to be seen clearly enough to last.

We photograph weddings for people who care how things are made. Our couples tend to be thoughtful, culturally layered, and more interested in the truth of a day than a curated version of it. We are too. For more than a decade that belief has shaped how we work and how we want the experience to feel. The rest is in the images.

Photographing weddings since 2014

Film isn’t an upgrade

It’s how we see. Every Radian wedding includes film photography, and we carry four instruments through the day so we never have to force a moment into the wrong one.

Medium format

Luminous portraits with extraordinary depth. The frames that end up on a wall.

35mm

Movement, grain, imperfection and surprise. The photographs you didn’t know happened.

Super 8

Motion on film, for the moments a still frame cannot hold. Included in Collection III.

Digital

Instant responsiveness when the light or the moment will not wait. You never have to choose.

Two people.
One practice.

A shared way of seeing

Radhika and Ian are a husband and wife team who have spent more than a decade photographing weddings together. Their strengths are different and they meet in the frame.

Just as important, they know how to move through a room in a way that lets people relax. Warm, unobtrusive, ever present.

The collections

Two perspectives, four formats, one day photographed properly. Every collection includes film.

What couples say

“The professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched. Their understanding of love and how to capture it in a photo is so special. Their communication style is simple and direct, which took the pressure off of me as a bride and allowed me to be myself. I truly loved their presence and work, and look forward to working together to photograph our growing family in the future.”“

Trayce and Addison

“Radhika and Ian were our favorite vendors for our wedding. They shot our wedding, our engagement photos, and my bridal portraits. They were so easy to work with, professional but relatable, and the pictures are absolutely stunning. We also got so many compliments from our wedding guests and family about our photographers. Seriously book them. They are worth every penny and your photos are the only thing you have after the wedding.”“

Victoria and Daniel

“Radhika and Ian are the dream team to work with! Ever since our first meeting with them, we knew we were in good hands. While Radhika and Ian are extremely professional, they know how to have a good time! They make you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera, to the point you forget they are there and you can really focus on each other and the moments they are capturing. With them, no detail goes unnoticed.”“

Suz and MC

“We would recommend Radian Photography to friends and family who want to memorialize moments in the most stunning way. They are equally good at catching side glimpses of intimate moments as they are with organizing strategic shots. If you want to remember it, you want them to be in charge of how you remember it.””

Amy and Richard

We’d love to hear what you’re planning.

If you’ve made it this far, there’s probably something in our photographs that feels like you. Tell us about the people you’re bringing together, the places that matter to you, and what you want your wedding to feel like.

We take on a limited number of weddings each year so we can be fully present for the people who trust us with them.
