Serving Bicester
Bicester is an Oxfordshire town with country venues. From grand banqueting venues to the calm of the darbar sahib, we are at home everywhere across Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley. We photograph at gurdwaras, banqueting halls and marquees right across Oxfordshire.
We read the rhythm of a Sikh celebration and are always in the right place for the milni, the laavan and the doli. We follow your family's Sikh customs closely and photograph the sehra bandi and the palla exactly as you keep them. We make sure the families are in the story too, from the milni embraces to the blessings of the sangat.
From our London base we travel across Oxfordshire for Sikh weddings, and Bicester, an Oxfordshire town with country venues, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Oxford and Banbury. Venues we have photographed at near Bicester include Manor Farm Barn, Stratton Court Barn and The Tythe Barn.
Bicester is an Oxfordshire town best known for Bicester Village, its large designer outlet shopping centre. Bicester is served by two stations, Bicester Village and Bicester North, and by junctions 9 and 10 of the M40. When there is time for couple portraits, Garth Park, the town park with formal gardens and open lawns is a favourite, and The Church of St Edburg, the medieval parish church in the old town makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
Beautifully bound albums designed around your favourite images of the four laavan and the milni.
The standing prayer that frames the Anand Karaj, captured as the sangat bow before the Guru Granth Sahib.
At home with the sehra bandi, the choora, the kaleere and the energy of the bhangra.
Every tradition
We work discreetly at the back and the sides of the darbar sahib, so the Anand Karaj is never disturbed. Before the ceremony the groom's sehra is tied, and we photograph the sehra bandi with a gentle eye. The hukamnama, the reading taken after the laavan, closes the ceremony, and we capture it with respect.
The kaleere tied to the bride's choora carry their own meaning, and we photograph the ritual with care. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration.

The whole celebration
The jaggo night brings an evening of music, dancing and candlelit pots before the wedding day itself. The turmeric of the maiyan and the henna of the mehndi are rich with colour, and we make the most of it.
We always recommend a little time for couple portraits, often after the ceremony, away from the bustle. We stay through the evening to capture the reception, from the grand entrance to the last dance.
Why choose us
Our experience of Punjabi and Sikh weddings, inside the gurdwara and out, runs deep. We have built our reputation on reliability, warmth and a genuine love of Sikh weddings and their rituals.
We factor in the early gurdwara timings and the milni carefully, so we are always in position before the four laavan. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout the Home Counties, and the gurdwaras around Bicester are firmly within the area we cover.

Where we travel
We travel happily across Oxfordshire and the neighbouring counties for the maiyan, the Anand Karaj and the doli alike. Multi-venue Sikh days are never an issue; we plan the route from the gurdwara to the reception and the timings in advance.
