Serving Ruislip
Ruislip is a Hillingdon suburb with its own lido and woods. We are used to multi-venue days throughout Greater London, moving smoothly between Ruislip Manor, Eastcote. We work discreetly at mosques and banqueting halls, mindful of prayer times and every family's wishes.
We anticipate each moment, so the ijab-e-qubool, the signing of the nikah-nama and the closing dua are never missed. We move softly around the imam through the nikah, capturing the real moments rather than staging them. We document each event as it happens, from the mehndi to the walima, so your gallery feels true to the day you lived.
A female photographer for the ladies' side is available across Greater London, and Ruislip, a Hillingdon suburb with its own lido and woods, is well within our patch. We also cover nearby South Ruislip and Southwark. Around Ruislip we regularly photograph at Winston Churchill Hall, Venue 5 and Ruislip Lido, among others.
A Hillingdon suburb known for its lido, ancient woods and historic Manor Farm village core. Served by Ruislip station on both the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, on the Uxbridge branch. When there is time for couple portraits, Ruislip Woods National Nature Reserve, the largest area of ancient woodland in Greater London is a favourite, and Ruislip Lido, a nineteenth century reservoir with a sandy beach and miniature railway makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
The groom's family walima feast, from the grand entrance to the last dance, captured in full.
From the morning preparations to the last dance of the walima, every event told as one story.
A female second photographer for the ladies' side, so the women's mehndi and celebrations are fully covered.
Every tradition
The rukhsati, when the bride leaves with the groom, is the most tender moment, and we photograph it gently. We are mindful of every family's customs at the nikah, Pakistani, Bengali, Arab or Turkish. We work quietly around the imam so the nikah is never disturbed.
From the henna of the mehndi to the music of the dholki, the events set the tone for the wedding. The mehndi, the dholki and the walima each carry their own mood, and we photograph them all. The music and dancing of the mehndi are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy.

The whole celebration
The pre-wedding events often span several days, each with its own mood. Many families hold a mangni long before the wedding, and a mehndi the night before the nikah.
We capture the walima in full, the speeches, the family and the energy of the floor. Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue.
Why choose us
A thousand weddings in, we still find every walima unique, and photograph it that way. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about a nikah or walima surprises us.
We travel happily across Greater London and the surrounding counties for the baraat, the nikah and the walima. We factor in travel and prayer times carefully, so we are always in position for the signing of the nikah-nama.

Where we travel
We will travel to your nikah, your walima and your mehndi and dholki, wherever they are held. We cover London and the surrounding area and beyond for the mehndi, the nikah and the walima, and travel further afield on request.
