Serving Tonbridge
Tonbridge is a Kent town with a historic castle and country venues. From the nikah to the walima, we keep the day flowing across venues throughout Tunbridge Wells, Hildenborough and Hadlow. A female second photographer is available for the ladies' side wherever your celebration is held.
We make sure both families are in the story of the walima, not just the couple. We move softly around the imam through the nikah, capturing the real moments rather than staging them. We photograph the small moments of the mehndi as carefully as the vows of the nikah.
From the nikah to the walima, we keep the day flowing across Kent, and Tonbridge, a Kent town with a historic castle and country venues, is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Tunbridge Wells and Rochester. In and around Tonbridge, we have photographed at venues such as Tonbridge Castle and Penshurst Place.
Tonbridge is a market town on the River Medway with a long history around its castle. Tonbridge station is a Southeastern junction on the Hastings and Ashford lines. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Tonbridge Castle grounds and nearby Haysden Country Park, with Tonbridge Castle, a Norman motte and bailey with a surviving gatehouse close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
The rukhsati, the bride's tender farewell as she leaves with the groom, photographed with great sensitivity.
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.
Every tradition
We photograph the signing of the nikah-nama by the couple and their witnesses with quiet attention. We keep our distance during the most sacred moments and step in only for the joyful ones. The rukhsati, when the bride leaves with the groom, is the most tender moment, and we photograph it gently.
The mangni, the engagement that begins the journey, is one we are glad to cover when families ask. The rukhsati, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the formal parts of the day.

The whole celebration
The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration. Many Muslim weddings begin days before with the mangni, the mehndi and evenings of dholki.
We know the order and timing of the wedding day, so we are always in position for each moment. We photograph the ceremony, the portraits and the reception in balance, so each is given its due.
Why choose us
We have spent twenty-five years learning the detail of the mehndi and the nikah, and it shows in every gallery. We know the rhythm of a nikah by heart, so the ijab-e-qubool and the mahr are always captured.
We factor in travel and prayer times carefully, so we are always in position for the signing of the nikah-nama. We are London-based and travel across Kent and the wider region for the nikah and the walima.

Where we travel
Wherever your mehndi, nikah and walima take place across the Home Counties, we will be there in good time. We cover the whole of the UK for Muslim weddings, so distance never stands between us and your nikah.
