Muslim Wedding Photographer in Sarratt

Serving Sarratt

Nikah and walima photography in Sarratt

Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green. Across Chorleywood, Chipperfield and Rickmansworth and the rest of Hertfordshire, we cover the nikah, the walima and the celebrations with a careful eye. We photograph nikah ceremonies at mosques, banqueting halls and homes right across Hertfordshire.

We blend candid storytelling of the mehndi with a handful of timeless portraits after the nikah. We are a reassuring presence at the banqueting hall, so the baraat and walima flow naturally. We arrive early for the mehndi, stay late for the walima and keep pace with every part of the celebration.

We know Sarratt and the surrounding part of Hertfordshire well, having photographed Muslim weddings throughout Chorleywood, Chipperfield and Rickmansworth. Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green, and we are often in nearby Knebworth and Welwyn too. Local Muslim wedding venues we know near Sarratt include Micklefield Hall and The Grove.

Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village in the Three Rivers district, clustered along a long narrow historic green about four miles north of Rickmansworth. Sarratt is served by nearby Chorleywood and Rickmansworth stations on the Metropolitan line, and lies close to junction 18 of the M25. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as The Chess Valley and Sarratt Bottom, a chalk stream landscape in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with The Church of the Holy Cross, a flint and brick church founded around 1190 close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

From the nikah to the walima

We photograph the signing of the nikah-nama by the couple and their witnesses with quiet attention. From the ijab-e-qubool to the dua, the ceremony tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We are ready for the agreeing of the mahr, the gift from the groom to the bride.

The walima is the joyful feast hosted by the groom's family, and we cover it in full. The reception and walima are the joyful finale, with speeches, family and dancing. The mehndi night is full of colour, music and dancing, and often holds the warmest moments of all.
