Serving New Malden

Hindu, Sikh and Muslim Wedding Photography in New Malden

New Malden is a diverse south-west London area. Across Kingston, Worcester Park and Raynes Park and the rest of Greater London, we cover the mehndi, the ceremony and the reception with a careful eye. We work quietly around the priest, the granthi or the imam so the ceremony is never disturbed.

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 work discreetly around the priest, the granthi or the imam, never intruding on a sacred moment. For a Sikh anand karaj we keep our distance during the laavan, photographing the ragis and the family without a single interruption to the prayer.

Every tradition

At home with every Asian wedding tradition

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 seven steps of the saptapadi and the couple's first steps as a married pair. The kanyadaan, when a father places his daughter's hand in her husband's, is quiet and full of feeling, and we frame it without ever intruding.

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. We are glad to cover a single evening or a long weekend of celebrations, shaping our hours around the events your family holds dearest. The mehndi or henna night is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it.
