Serving Barking
Barking is an east London town with a large South Asian community. We regularly photograph Muslim weddings throughout Dagenham, East Ham and Ilford and the surrounding part of Greater London. Right across Greater London we photograph the colour and devotion of every event, large and small.
We read the rhythm of a nikah and walima and are always in position for the signing of the nikah-nama. We anticipate each moment, so the ijab-e-qubool, the signing of the nikah-nama and the closing dua are never missed. We are mindful of modesty throughout, and photograph the gender-segregated celebrations with sensitivity.
A female photographer for the ladies' side is available across Greater London, and Barking, an east London town with a large South Asian community, is well within our patch. We also cover nearby Acton and Willesden. Close to Barking, we have worked at venues including Eastbury Manor House and Oasis Banqueting Hall.

What we offer
Discreet coverage of the gender-segregated men's and ladies' sides, planned with care and modesty.
The groom's joyful baraat arrival with his family, photographed with all of its energy.
Evenings of singing and drumming at the dholki before the wedding, captured with all their energy.
Every tradition
The imam's khutbah and the dua that follows are moments of stillness we photograph with respect. We photograph the blessings and the prayers of the imam with reverence. The dua at the close of the nikah brings the families together, and we capture it with warmth.
The rukhsati, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day. We capture the lively baraat as the groom arrives, with the family and the celebration around him. The mehndi, the dholki and the walima each carry their own mood, and we photograph them all.

The whole celebration
A Pakistani celebration might open with the sanchaq and dholki, followed by the mehndi night. We arrive in good time for each pre-wedding event and stay until the celebrations wind down.
The story often ends with the rukhsati, as the bride leaves with the groom. Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue.
Why choose us
Couples choose us for our calm presence and our knowledge of the order of the nikah. Our experience across Pakistani, Bengali, Arab and Turkish nikah customs runs deep.
From our London base, Barking and the rest of Greater London are an easy journey for your nikah. We cover the whole of the UK for Muslim weddings, so distance never stands between us and your nikah.

Where we travel
