Sikh Wedding Photographer in Barnet

Serving Barnet

Telling your Sikh wedding story in Barnet

Barnet is a leafy north London borough. Across Greater London, including Enfield, Brent, we photograph the reverence and joy of every Sikh ritual. From Barnet we cover weddings right across Greater London, at gurdwaras, hotels, marquees and banqueting suites.

We bring a long lens and a light touch, so the four laavan are captured from the sides of the gurdwara at a respectful distance. We keep the calm of the kirtan and the exuberance of the reception in equal measure. We capture the details too, the choora, the kaleere, the sehra and the palki, that make your Anand Karaj yours.

We travel throughout Greater London for Anand Karaj ceremonies, and Barnet, a leafy north London borough, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Bexley and Brent. In and around Barnet, we have photographed at venues such as West Lodge Park, Hendon Town Hall and Cavendish Banqueting Suite.

A leafy north London borough centred on the historic market town of Chipping Barnet, site of the decisive 1471 Battle of Barnet. High Barnet is the northern terminus of the Northern line. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Oak Hill Park in East Barnet, with The Hadley Highstone monument at Monken Hadley marking the Battle of Barnet close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

From milni to the four laavan

The hukamnama, the reading taken after the laavan, closes the ceremony, and we capture it with respect. The langar that follows the ceremony, shared by the whole sangat, is a moment of community we capture with warmth. We photograph the choora and kaleere given to the bride, and the quiet blessings of her elders.

We photograph the sehra bandi, when the groom's turban and sehra are tied, with all its ceremony. From the turmeric of the maiyan to the music of the jaggo, the events set the tone for the wedding. The day often opens early with kirtan in the gurdwara, and we are there for it.
