Serving Ashford
Ashford is a Kent town with country-house venues. From the nikah to the walima, we keep the day flowing across venues throughout Tenterden, Charing and Hythe. Whether your nikah is in Ashford itself or elsewhere across Kent, we plan the day around your venues.
We are mindful of modesty throughout, and photograph the gender-segregated celebrations with sensitivity. We let the nikah unfold at its own pace and meet the rukhsati with a quiet, watchful eye. We capture the details too, the henna, the nikah-nama and the mehndi jewellery, that make your day yours.
We have photographed Muslim weddings throughout Tenterden, Charing and Hythe for many years, and Ashford, a Kent town with country-house venues, is a familiar and welcome destination. We also cover nearby Gravesend and Dartford. Close to Ashford, we have worked at venues including Eastwell Manor, Kennington Hall and The Secret Garden.
Ashford is a Kent market town that grew as a railway and market centre. Ashford International station is on the HS1 high speed line and the town is served by the M20 motorway. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Victoria Park, a Green Flag park near the town centre, and the grounds of Godinton House, and Godinton House and Gardens, and the restored Willesborough Windmill gives the day a strong sense of Ashford.

What we offer
From the ijab-e-qubool and the mahr to the signing of the nikah-nama, every moment of the nikah understood and captured.
Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your nikah, mehndi and walima.
Evenings of singing and drumming at the dholki before the wedding, captured with all their energy.
Every tradition
A female photographer can cover the ladies' side of the nikah, so the women's moments are not lost. The rukhsati, when the bride leaves with the groom, is the most tender moment, and we photograph it gently. We know the order of the nikah by heart, so we are always in position for each moment.
We capture the groom's arrival in procession, surrounded by celebrating family. The reception and walima are the joyful finale, with speeches, family and dancing. The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention.

The whole celebration
The ladies' mehndi is often a celebration of its own, and a female photographer can cover it fully. Many families hold a mangni long before the wedding, and a mehndi the night before the nikah.
The wedding day itself is a journey, from the nikah and the ijab-e-qubool to the rukhsati and the walima. We capture the walima in full, the speeches, the family and the energy of the floor.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years behind the lens means we know exactly when the ijab-e-qubool gives way to the signing of the nikah-nama. Experience means we are ready for the nikah, the signing of the nikah-nama and the emotional rukhsati.
From our London base, Ashford and the rest of Kent are an easy journey for your nikah. We are used to celebrations spread from the mosque to the banqueting hall, and keep the day flowing between them.

Where we travel
Wherever your mehndi, nikah and walima take place across the Home Counties, we will be there in good time. We will travel to your nikah, your walima and your mehndi and dholki, wherever they are held.

Good to know
Of course. We regularly photograph weddings that blend cultural events such as the mehndi and the baraat with the religious nikah, and we cover fusion and mixed-faith celebrations with care, respecting the traditions of both families throughout the day.
Most Muslim weddings run from the morning preparations through to the walima, so full-day coverage works best. For multi-day celebrations, taking in the mehndi and the dholki, we tailor the hours to your events and your budget.
Absolutely. The mangni, the mehndi and the dholki are often where the warmest, most natural moments happen, and we are glad to cover them as part of your wedding, with a female photographer for the ladies' events where you wish.
Yes. We travel to Ashford and across Kent for Muslim weddings, and further afield across the UK. The nikah, the mehndi and the walima are a speciality, and distance is never a problem for us.
Yes. We stay through the evening to capture the walima in Ashford, from the grand entrance and the speeches to the family gatherings and the last dance, right through to the final guest to leave the floor.
