Taj Mahal Hotel, Lucknow – 300+ Royal Weddings Captured by H.D.R.I. Studio

Taj Mahal Hotel, Lucknow

A Royal Journey Through My Lens

By Amit Saheta (H.D.R.I. Studio)

Introduction

When I began my journey as a photographer back in 1992, Lucknow was transforming—Gomti Nagar was just beginning to develop, and so was my perspective as a visual artist. My camera was capturing the city’s evolving elegance, and little did I know, a new chapter in my career was about to begin.

In 1995, the iconic Taj Mahal Hotel, Lucknow opened its doors, adding a new symbol of luxury and heritage to the city. Just two years later, in 1997, I had the honour of shooting my first luxury wedding at the Taj, for the son of a well-known industrialist. It was the first time I stepped inside the hotel—and I was awestruck. The opulence, the architecture, the ambiance—it was unlike anything Lucknow had seen.

Years Have Passed,

But the Taj’s Grandeur Remains

Over the years, I’ve seen the hotel evolve—from Vivanta by Taj back to its original identity as Taj Mahal, Lucknow. Yet, through every name and phase, the hotel has preserved its charm, its Nawabi elegance, and its modern soul.

From the marble floors to the intricate jaali work, from the domed lobby to lush gardens—every inch of this hotel tells a story. And every story finds a perfect frame through my lens.

300+ Weddings,

One Iconic Location

Since 1997, I’ve had the privilege of capturing over 300 weddings at Taj Mahal Hotel, Lucknow. Each celebration has been unique—new faces, new emotions—but one thing remains the same: the timeless charm of the Taj.

I’ve had the honour of photographing weddings of prominent political figures, industrialists, and business families—all choosing Taj for their most special day. These are not just events; they are royal experiences, and I take pride in immortalizing them with precision and soul.

A Photographer, A Family Member

After so many years, Taj no longer feels like just a venue—it feels like home. From the staff to the management, everyone at Taj knows me personally. Their words stay close to my heart:

“In Lucknow, when it comes to wedding photography with unmatched quality and trust, there’s only one name we recommend—Amit Saheta from H.D.R.I. Studio.”

That’s an honour I cherish, and a responsibility I uphold with every wedding I shoot.

Beyond Weddings

Commercial Work & Creative Collaborations

My journey with Taj extends beyond weddings. I’ve also been fortunate to shoot commercial campaigns, lifestyle visuals, promotional films, and food photography for the hotel.

The Taj offers a photographer an unmatched canvas—natural light, Nawabi design, modern aesthetics, and an atmosphere that breathes culture. Every corner is a perfect frame waiting to happen.
