This article focuses on weddings and wedding videos in north Kerala, India, and asks two interrelated questions: one, how have marriage rituals and the ways in which a wedding is performed changed with the critical presence of the photographer and videographer? Two, how does the wedding video represent marriage, conjugality, and love, and how have these changed with changes in technology?
