Serving Lichfield

Photographing Asian weddings in Lichfield

Lichfield is a cathedral city in Staffordshire. Across Staffordshire, including Burntwood, Rugeley and Tamworth, we photograph the colour and devotion of every Asian tradition. We are ready for the giving of the sindoor and the tying of the mangalsutra at a Hindu ceremony.

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. We follow your family's customs closely and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless, beautifully lit portraits.

Wherever your venues are across Lichfield and Staffordshire, we plan the route and the timings in advance. Lichfield is a cathedral city in Staffordshire. We also photograph in nearby Stoke-on-Trent and Stafford. Local wedding venues we know near Lichfield include Swinfen Hall Hotel, Netherstowe House and Coton House Farm.

Lichfield is a small cathedral city and the birthplace of the writer Samuel Johnson. Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley stations serve the city, with the A38 and A5 close by. For portraits away from the celebration, Beacon Park and the adjoining Minster Pool and Museum Gardens works beautifully, and Lichfield Cathedral, the only medieval English cathedral with three spires adds a real sense of place.

Every tradition

Each Custom Photographed as You Intend It

For Sikh couples, the Anand Karaj and the four laavan in the gurdwara are the heart of the day, photographed with the calm the Guru Granth Sahib deserves. At a Hindu wedding, the pheras around the sacred fire seal the marriage, and we capture them close. 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.

The bhangra and the dancing carry the reception late into the night, and we stay for all of it. Away from the couple, cousins reunite, aunts organise and children weave through the crowd, and we watch the family moments that fill the edges of the day. We photograph the bridal and groom's preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye.

The whole celebration

From the first ritual to the final dance

A celebration often opens with an intimate mehndi at home and a lively sangeet full of music and dance. We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations.

Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue. We photograph the ceremony, the portraits and the reception in balance, so each is given its due.

With respect for the space and its customs. We remove our shoes, cover our heads where required and stay mindful of areas we should not enter. Knowing how these venues work lets us find quiet vantage points, so we document the ceremony without ever intruding on it.

Yes. We photograph the nikah and walima with care for the customs of the day, working discreetly during the signing of the contract and the exchange of vows. Where the celebration is segregated, we can arrange a female photographer so guests feel entirely comfortable throughout.
