Capturing Muslim weddings in Chalfont St Peter

Chalfont St Peter is a picturesque Buckinghamshire village. We know the venues of the Home Counties well, and move easily between the nikah and the walima across Gerrards Cross, Denham. We work discreetly at mosques and banqueting halls, mindful of prayer times and every family's wishes.

We keep the calm of the nikah and the energy of the walima and dholki in equal measure. We photograph the small moments of the mehndi as carefully as the vows of the nikah. We photograph the solemn nikah as faithfully as the henna and dancing of the mehndi night.

We have photographed Muslim weddings throughout Gerrards Cross, Denham for many years, and Chalfont St Peter, a picturesque Buckinghamshire village, is a familiar and welcome destination. We also cover nearby Denham and High Wycombe. Venues we know well in and near Chalfont St Peter include The Greyhound Inn, The Bull Hotel and Denham Grove.

A large Buckinghamshire village described as the gateway to the Chiltern Hills, with the chalk stream river Misbourne flowing through it. The A413 links the village towards Amersham and Gerrards Cross, with Gerrards Cross station on the Chiltern Main Line nearby. When there is time for couple portraits, Gold Hill Common, around 16 acres of open green and small woodland near the village centre is a favourite, and St Peter's parish church, a Grade II listed building dating from 1715 beside the Misbourne makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

The traditions that make your day

The rukhsati, when the bride leaves with the groom, is the most tender moment, and we photograph it gently. We photograph the blessings and the prayers of the imam with reverence. The exchange of consent and the joining of the two families is captured as it happens.

The dholki brings evenings of singing and drumming before the wedding, and we photograph their energy. Where the celebrations are segregated, we cover the men's and ladies' sides with equal care. We photograph the bridal preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye.
