Asian Wedding Photographer in Stanmore

Serving Stanmore

Telling your Asian wedding story in Stanmore

Stanmore is a leafy north-west London suburb close to grand venues. We know the venues of London and the surrounding area well, and move easily between the ceremony and reception across Edgware, Harrow Weald and Belmont. The garland exchange, when bride and groom raise the jaimala over one another, releases the first great cheer of the day, and we catch it as it breaks.

We read the rhythm of an Asian celebration and are always in the right place at the right time. We capture the details too, the flowers, the jewellery, the mandap and the mehndi, that make your day yours. We cover both families equally, making sure the groom's side and the bride's side each come away with a full record of their own people and their own moments.

Stanmore is a leafy north-west London suburb close to grand venues, and from London it is an easy and familiar journey for us, whatever the tradition or the venue. We photograph in neighbouring Pinner and Ealing just as often. Stanmore and the towns around it offer venues such as Bentley Priory Museum and The Hive London, all familiar to us.

Stanmore is a leafy suburb in the London Borough of Harrow with several nature reserves and open spaces. Stanmore station is the northern terminus of the Jubilee line. We often take couples to Stanmore Country Park, known for its views across London for a few quiet portraits, and Bentley Priory, an 18th century estate that was the headquarters of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain is a lovely backdrop nearby.

The Ceremony, Captured as It Truly Unfolds

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. We work in the background of the priest, the granthi or the imam, reading their rhythm so the ceremony flows without a photographer in the way. At the gurdwara, the couple's walk around the Guru Granth Sahib during each laav is captured with reverence.

For Gujarati families the garba and raas fill an evening with circling colour and movement, and we love following the dandiya sticks and the swirling skirts. The bhangra and the dancing carry the reception late into the night, and we stay for all of it. From the turmeric of the haldi to the music of the sangeet, the events set the tone for the wedding.
