Asian Wedding Photographer in Wembley

Serving Wembley

Capturing Asian Weddings in Wembley and Greater London

Wembley is a hugely diverse area, home to temples, gurdwaras and grand banqueting suites near the stadium. We travel throughout Harrow, Sudbury and Alperton for Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings, at home in temples, gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting suites alike. We keep our distance during the most solemn moments and step in only for the joyful ones.

When the baraat arrives with drums and dancing we are in the thick of it, moving with the crowd so the welcome looks and feels exactly as loud as it was. At a nikah we stay respectful and unhurried, letting the signing, the blessings and the quiet joy unfold without asking anyone to pose for us. Knowing the order of a Hindu ceremony means we are already in position for the pheras and the sindoor, not scrambling to catch up once they begin.

We are often in Wembley for Asian weddings, and from London the area, taking in Harrow, Sudbury and Alperton, is an easy journey. Wembley is a hugely diverse area, home to temples, gurdwaras and grand banqueting suites near the stadium. We also photograph in nearby Greenford and Northolt. Venues we know well in and near Wembley include The Clay Oven Banqueting Suites, Sattavis Patidar Centre and Wembley International Hotel.

Wembley is a hugely diverse district of the London Borough of Brent, home to major Hindu temples, gurdwaras and grand banqueting suites near the stadium. Wembley Park station on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, with Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium stations nearby. For portraits away from the celebration, King Edward VII Park, a green space in the heart of Wembley works beautifully, and Wembley Stadium, the national football stadium with its signature arch adds a real sense of place.

Every tradition

From the mandap to the gurdwara and the nikah

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 work quietly around the priest, the granthi or the imam so the ceremony is never disturbed. 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.

The sangeet is an evening of music and rehearsed dance, and we capture all of its energy. We document the engagement and pre-wedding events that begin the journey, when families ask us. For Muslim families the walima is a generous celebration in its own right, and we cover it as fully as the nikah that precedes it.
