The Mehndi Night
The henna, the dholki music and the dancing of the mehndi, where the warmest moments often happen.
Your Muslim wedding photographer in Birmingham, from the dholki that opens the celebrations to the walima that closes them, captured as it happens and never staged.
Serving Birmingham
Birmingham is one of the UK's great Asian wedding cities, with countless temples, gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting venues. We regularly photograph Muslim weddings throughout Smethwick, Handsworth and Edgbaston and the surrounding part of the West Midlands. Your celebration is in experienced hands, from the mehndi to the last dance of the walima.
We are calm and unhurried at the mosque, gathering the whole nikah without ever getting in the imam's way. We arrive early for the mehndi, stay late for the walima and keep pace with every part of the celebration. We read the rhythm of a nikah and walima and are always in position for the signing of the nikah-nama.
Couples come to us from right across the Midlands, and Birmingham is firmly on our patch. Birmingham is one of the UK's great Asian wedding cities, with countless temples, gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting venues, and we know its venues well. We also cover nearby Coventry and Wolverhampton. Close to Birmingham, we have worked at venues including Al Miraj Banqueting Suite, Grand Occasions Banqueting Hall and The National Conference Centre.
Birmingham is the largest city in the UK outside London and one of the most ethnically diverse, with long established South Asian communities in areas such as Sparkbrook and Handsworth. Birmingham New Street is a major national rail hub, and the city sits at the heart of the motorway network near the M6 and M5. We often take couples to Cannon Hill Park and the nearby Birmingham Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston for a few quiet portraits, and The Library of Birmingham and the Grade II listed Council House in Victoria Square is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
The henna, the dholki music and the dancing of the mehndi, where the warmest moments often happen.
A female second photographer for the ladies' side, so the women's mehndi and celebrations are fully covered.
Beautifully bound albums and fine prints designed around your favourite nikah and walima images.
Every tradition
At the heart of a Muslim wedding is the nikah, the marriage contract that joins the couple. We photograph the blessings and the prayers of the imam with reverence. The imam's khutbah and the dua that follows are moments of stillness we photograph with respect.
Where the celebrations are segregated, we cover the men's and ladies' sides with equal care. The walima is the joyful feast hosted by the groom's family, and we cover it in full. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the formal parts of the day.

The whole celebration
The mehndi and dholki are lively, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come. The ladies' mehndi is often a celebration of its own, and a female photographer can cover it fully.
We capture the walima in full, the speeches, the family and the energy of the floor. From the nikah to the last guest, we follow the whole day at its own pace.
Why choose us
Decades of weddings mean we read the masjid instinctively and never miss the moment the nikah-nama is signed. A thousand weddings in, we still find every walima unique, and photograph it that way.
A female photographer for the ladies' side travels with us wherever your mehndi and walima are held. We factor in travel and prayer times carefully, so we are always in position for the signing of the nikah-nama.

Where we travel
We photograph across the West Midlands regularly, and travelling to a nikah in Birmingham is second nature. From London we reach Birmingham easily, and we know its mosques and banqueting halls well.
