Photographing Muslim weddings in Chester

Chester is a historic walled city with grand venues. Muslim families throughout Ellesmere Port, Hoole and Saltney trust us with their celebrations, large and small. Your celebration is in experienced hands, from the mehndi to the last dance of the walima.

We document each event as it happens, from the mehndi to the walima, so your gallery feels true to the day you lived. We anticipate each moment, so the ijab-e-qubool, the signing of the nikah-nama and the closing dua are never missed. We take time beforehand to understand your customs, from the agreeing of the mahr to the order of the walima.

Much of our work takes us across Cheshire; Chester, a historic walled city with grand venues, and the towns around it, including Ellesmere Port, Hoole and Saltney, are very familiar to us. We also cover nearby Warrington and Liverpool. We are at home at Chester-area venues such as Peckforton Castle, Crabwall Manor and The Old Palace.

Chester is a historic Roman walled city on the River Dee, known for its distinctive medieval Rows galleries. Chester railway station is a junction with services to Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, with the A55 and M53 close by. We often take couples to Grosvenor Park, a Victorian park close to the city centre and the River Dee for a few quiet portraits, and The Eastgate Clock above the city walls is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

Muslim wedding coverage in Chester

01

The Imam's Blessing

The imam or qazi's khutbah and blessing of the couple, photographed from a respectful distance.

Every Tradition

Pakistani, Bengali, Arab, Turkish and Somali nikah customs, each understood and honoured.

Every tradition

From mehndi to walima

The dua at the close of the nikah brings the families together, and we capture it with warmth. The ijab-e-qubool, the proposal and acceptance said three times, seals the marriage, and we capture it with care. The rukhsati, when the bride leaves with the groom, is the most tender moment, and we photograph it gently.

For many families the mehndi is the ladies' celebration, and a female photographer can cover it with ease. We capture the lively baraat as the groom arrives, with the family and the celebration around him. The mehndi night is full of colour, music and dancing, and often holds the warmest moments of all.

The whole celebration

From the first mehndi to the last dance

The mehndi and dholki are lively, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come. The mehndi brings an evening of henna, music and dance before the wedding day itself.

From the morning preparations to the final celebration, we give every part of the day the same care. Whether the nikah and walima are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.

Why choose us

A safe pair of hands in Chester

Experience means we are ready for the nikah, the signing of the nikah-nama and the emotional rukhsati. We understand how much the nikah means, and we photograph the mahr and the dua with the care they deserve.

From our London base, Chester and the rest of Cheshire are an easy journey for your nikah. We are London-based but rarely in London; much of our work takes us to mosques and banqueting halls across the North of England.
