Serving Oldham
Oldham is a Pennine town with a strong South Asian community. From the nikah to the walima, we keep the day flowing across venues throughout Chadderton, Royton and Failsworth. We photograph nikah ceremonies at mosques, banqueting halls and homes right across Greater Manchester.
We document each event as it happens, from the mehndi to the walima, so your gallery feels true to the day you lived. We move softly around the imam through the nikah, capturing the real moments rather than staging them. We blend candid storytelling of the mehndi with a handful of timeless portraits after the nikah.
We travel throughout Greater Manchester for nikah ceremonies, and Oldham, a Pennine town with a strong South Asian community, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Rochdale and Bury. Oldham and the towns around it offer venues such as The Grand Venue, Werneth Suite and Le Grand Hall, all familiar to us.
Oldham is a Pennine town with a cotton spinning heritage and a strong South Asian community. Oldham is served by the Metrolink tram network, with stops including Oldham Mumps, and the A627(M). We often take couples to Alexandra Park, a Grade II listed Victorian park with a boating lake for a few quiet portraits, and Gallery Oldham and the adjacent Oldham Parish Church is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
A handful of timeless portraits after the nikah, taken quietly away from the banqueting hall.
The imam or qazi's khutbah and blessing of the couple, photographed from a respectful distance.
Evenings of singing and drumming at the dholki before the wedding, captured with all their energy.
Every tradition
We know the order of the nikah by heart, so we are always in position for each moment. From the ijab-e-qubool to the dua, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We work quietly around the imam so the nikah is never disturbed.
We photograph the bridal preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the formal parts of the day.

The whole celebration
A Pakistani celebration might open with the sanchaq and dholki, followed by the mehndi night. The mehndi brings an evening of henna, music and dance before the wedding day itself.
We stay through the evening to capture the walima, from the grand entrance to the last dance. From the nikah to the last guest, we follow the whole day at its own pace.
Why choose us
With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a nikah or walima surprises us. We know the rhythm of a nikah by heart, so the ijab-e-qubool and the mahr are always captured.
We travel happily across Greater Manchester and the surrounding counties for the baraat, the nikah and the walima. We cover the North of England and beyond for the mehndi, the nikah and the walima, and travel further afield on request.

Where we travel
Multi-venue days from the masjid to the banqueting hall are never an issue; we plan the route and prayer times in advance. Distance is never a problem; travelling to your mosque and banqueting hall is simply part of how we work.
