Photographing Muslim weddings in Gravesend

Gravesend is home to a large and long-established Sikh community and the landmark Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara. From grand banqueting suites to intimate nikah ceremonies, we are at home everywhere across Northfleet, Dartford and Meopham. We are experienced with segregated celebrations, covering both sides of the day with sensitivity.

We keep the calm of the nikah and the energy of the walima and dholki in equal measure. We photograph the nikah with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind the mahr and the dua. We make sure both families are in the story of the walima, not just the couple.

Muslim families across Northfleet, Dartford and Meopham trust us with their weddings, and Gravesend, home to a large and long-established Sikh community and the landmark Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara, is a place we return to often. We also cover nearby Dartford and Maidstone. Gravesend and the towns around it offer venues such as Woodville Halls, Legion Rooms and Cobham Hall, all familiar to us.

Gravesend is home to a large and long-established Sikh community centred on the Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara. Gravesend station offers Southeastern high speed services on HS1 to London St Pancras, and the town lies close to the A2. For portraits away from the celebration, Gravesend Promenade and the Riverside Leisure Area beside the Thames works beautifully, and Guru Nanak Darbar gurdwara, and the statue of Pocahontas at St George's Church adds a real sense of place.

The most solemn moments of the nikah are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens. We know the order of the nikah by heart, so we are always in position for each moment. 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 her family home, is the most tender moment of the day. Where the celebrations are segregated, we cover the men's and ladies' sides with equal care. From the henna of the mehndi to the music of the dholki, the events set the tone for the wedding.
