Capturing Asian weddings in Colchester

Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, with country venues. Across Stanway, Wivenhoe and West Mersea and the rest of Essex, we cover the mehndi, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. 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. Multi-day weddings ask for stamina and planning, so we map the running order with you beforehand and pace ourselves to be sharp from the haldi to the last song. The reception is its own event, so we cover the speeches, the entrance and the dancing with the same care we brought to the morning rituals.

Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town, with country venues, and we love photographing Asian weddings here and across the Home Counties. We regularly cover nearby Billericay and Epping as well. Venues we have photographed at near Colchester include Wivenhoe House, Prested Hall and Le Talbooth.

Colchester is often described as Britain's oldest recorded town and was granted city status in 2022, with a strong Roman and military heritage. On the Greater Anglia main line to London Liverpool Street, with Colchester and Colchester Town stations, and close to the A12. When there is time for couple portraits, Castle Park, a Victorian park beside the River Colne is a favourite, and Colchester Castle, a Norman keep built on the foundations of a Roman temple makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

Knowing the order of your day

The blessings of the elders close many ceremonies, and we capture them with warmth. During the most solemn passages we step back and lengthen the lens, so the granthi's words or the sacred fire are photographed from a respectful distance. 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.

From the turmeric of the haldi to the music of the sangeet, the events set the tone for the wedding. 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. For Gujarati families the garba and the raas fill the evening with colour and movement, and we love photographing them.
