Overview
Badal Raja Company, a New Delhi‑based photography and filmmaking house specializing in luxury weddings, celebrated its 24th anniversary on 15 September 2026. Founded in 2002 by brothers Badal Jain and Raja Jain, the firm has documented more than 600 weddings in 25 countries.
History and Evolution
The brothers, who began assisting their father’s production team at ages 12 and 13, gained experience with broadcasters such as BBC, NDTV, CNN, APTV and Doordarshan, including work on “The World This Week” with Prannoy Roy. Their entry into the wedding sector came through a 2002 introduction to Delhi wedding planner Meher Sarid. In 2005 they were among the first Indian wedding studios to adopt Sony CineAlta cinema cameras, bringing professional cinematic technology to wedding filmmaking.
Clientele and Portfolio
Badal Raja Company’s clientele includes prominent business families (Hindujas, Mittals), Bollywood actress Esha Deol, and royalty such as Shree Arvind Singh Ji Mewar of Udaipur. The company’s visual storytelling has been featured in publications including Vogue Weddings, Forbes India and The Wall Street Journal. Beyond weddings, the firm now undertakes fashion and corporate filmmaking assignments.
Market Context
The company’s growth mirrors a broader transformation of India’s luxury wedding market, where weddings have become increasingly global, elaborate and production‑led, driving demand for cinematic films, candid photography and editorial‑style narratives. Privacy and discretion are emphasized due to the high‑profile nature of many clients.
Outlook
The press release states that Badal Raja Company will continue to build on its documentary‑led philosophy while adapting to evolving expectations of the luxury wedding segment, positioning its work at the intersection of cinematography, photography, storytelling and large‑scale wedding production.
