Muslim Wedding Photographer in Hackney

Serving Hackney

Photographing Muslim weddings in Hackney

Hackney is a creative east London borough. Muslim families throughout Islington, Tower Hamlets 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 balance documentary coverage of the baraat with a few quiet portraits, so your album holds both energy and elegance. We photograph the small moments of the mehndi as carefully as the vows of the nikah. We work discreetly around the imam or qazi, never intruding on the ijab-e-qubool or the dua.

Couples come to us from right across London and the surrounding area, and Hackney is firmly on our patch. Hackney is a creative east London borough, and we know its venues well. We also cover nearby Hammersmith and Fulham and Haringey. Close to Hackney, we have worked at venues including Hackney Town Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall.

Hackney is a creative east London borough known for its independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations link the borough via London Overground services. We often take couples to Victoria Park, one of London's oldest public parks with lakes and open lawns for a few quiet portraits, and The Hackney Empire, a Grade II* listed Edwardian theatre is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

Knowing the order of your day

The exchange of consent and the joining of the two families is captured as it happens. We are ready for the agreeing of the mahr, the gift from the groom to the bride. The most solemn moments of the nikah are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens.

We photograph the sanchaq and the exchange of gifts between the families with all of their warmth. The rukhsati, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day. We capture the groom's arrival in procession, surrounded by celebrating family.
