Asian Wedding Photographer in Forest Gate

Serving Forest Gate

An Asian wedding photographer for Forest Gate

Forest Gate is a diverse east London neighbourhood. The banqueting halls, mandaps and places of worship of East Ham, Stratford and Manor Park are familiar ground, and we know how each one handles light and space. 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.

Fusion weddings that blend two faiths get double the attention, and we make sure both sets of rituals are honoured fully in the coverage and the album. We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless, beautifully lit portraits. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of your events.

We have photographed weddings in and around Forest Gate for years, and Forest Gate is a diverse east London neighbourhood, which makes its venues and its traffic no mystery to us. We also cover nearby Tooting and Croydon. Venues we know well in and near Forest Gate include PalmTree Banqueting and The Wisteria.

Forest Gate is a diverse neighbourhood in the London Borough of Newham that borders the open green space of Wanstead Flats. Forest Gate station is managed and served by the Elizabeth line, around twelve minutes from Liverpool Street. For relaxed couple photographs, we like West Ham Park, the largest park in Newham, and Wanstead Flats, the southernmost part of Epping Forest gives the day a strong sense of Forest Gate.

Understanding the Order of Your Ceremony

As the sindoor is applied and the mangalsutra tied, a Hindu marriage is complete, and we are ready for both of those small, fast gestures. For Gujarati families we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras and photograph each as you keep it. At a Gujarati mandap we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras, and we photograph them in the order your priest keeps rather than a generic script.

We photograph the bridal and groom's preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye. We capture the groom's arrival in procession, on a horse, in a car or on foot, surrounded by dancing family. The dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy.
