Asian Wedding Photographer in Cheshunt

Serving Cheshunt

Every Ritual, Every Day, Photographed Across Cheshunt

Cheshunt is a Lea Valley town with banqueting suites. From a mandap raised in a hotel ballroom to a marquee on family grounds, we photograph Asian weddings in every kind of setting across Waltham Cross, Hoddesdon and Enfield. For Tamil and South Indian families, the muhurtham reaches its heart as the thali is tied, and we are in position for that single, defining second.

For the jaimala and the joota chupai we stay close to the fun, because these lighter rituals carry as much of the family's character as the solemn ones. Before the day we talk through the timeline in detail, flagging where the light will be, where the crowds will gather and where the quiet will fall. On the dance floor we shoot fast and close, catching the bhangra, the dhol and the uncles who never sit down, so the party reads as alive as it felt.

We have photographed weddings in and around Cheshunt for years, and Cheshunt is a Lea Valley town with banqueting suites, which makes its venues and its traffic no mystery to us. We also cover nearby Tring and Kings Langley. In and around Cheshunt, we have photographed at venues such as De Vere Theobalds Estate, Cheshunt Marriott Hotel and Cheshunt Country Club.

Cheshunt is a Lea Valley town in the Broxbourne district, close to the parks and waterways of the Lee Valley Regional Park. Cheshunt station is on the West Anglia line to London Liverpool Street, and the A10 runs alongside the town. When there is time for couple portraits, Cedars Park and the Lee Valley Regional Park waterside meadows is a favourite, and Cedars Park, laid out on the grounds of the former Theobalds Palace makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

At home with every Asian wedding tradition

Around the sacred fire, the seven steps of the saptapadi bind a Hindu couple together, and we photograph each vow from close enough to feel its weight. At a Muslim wedding, the nikah and the signing of the contract carry great dignity, and we cover them with respect. We photograph the seven steps of the saptapadi and the couple's first steps as a married pair.

The bride's farewell, as she leaves her parents' home, is the most tender passage of many Asian weddings, and we photograph it with the gentleness it deserves. Preparations hold a quiet anticipation of their own, and we photograph the jewellery, the tying of the turban and the last still moments before the day begins. 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.
