Asian Wedding Photographer in Billericay

Serving Billericay

The story of your Billericay wedding

Billericay is an Essex town with country-house venues. The banqueting halls, mandaps and places of worship of Brentwood, Wickford and Basildon are familiar ground, and we know how each one handles light and space. In the gurdwara, the couple circle the Guru Granth Sahib through the four laavan, and we follow that slow procession with the reverence the moment asks for.

We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the vows as faithfully as the bhangra. We photograph the elders and the children as closely as the couple, because a wedding is the whole family gathered, not just the two people at the centre. We capture the emotion of the day honestly, from the laughter of the sangeet to the tears of the farewell.

Billericay is an Essex town with country-house venues, and we know its venues and its approaches well from photographing Asian weddings here over many years. We are often just along the road in Epping and Chigwell too. Local wedding venues we know near Billericay include Downham Hall, Stock Brook Manor and Hutton Hall.

Billericay is a commuter town in the Basildon district with a historic High Street and a strong sense of local identity. Billericay station sits on the Greater Anglia Shenfield to Southend line, around 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street. For portraits away from the celebration, Lake Meadows, a 40 acre park with a fishing lake works beautifully, and Norsey Wood, an ancient coppiced woodland and Site of Special Scientific Interest adds a real sense of place.

Every tradition

Respecting the Temple, the Gurdwara and the Mosque

For Gujarati families we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras and photograph each as you keep it. We photograph the seven steps of the saptapadi and the couple's first steps as a married pair. The blessings of the elders close many ceremonies, and we capture them with warmth.

Each pre-wedding event carries its own mood, the intimacy of the mehndi, the play of the haldi, the exuberance of the sangeet, and we photograph all three in their own key. The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings. The reception carries the celebration into the night with speeches, the first dance and the floor filling for the bhangra, and we stay to the final song.
