Serving Bromley
Bromley is a green south-east London borough. Wherever your events are held across Lewisham, Croydon, we plan the timings and travel with care. We are as at ease with a quiet family langar as we are with a reception of several hundred guests.
We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the Anand Karaj as faithfully as the bhangra. We make sure the families are in the story too, from the milni embraces to the blessings of the sangat. We anticipate each part of the Anand Karaj, so the milni, the four laavan and the ardaas are never missed.
Whether your Anand Karaj is in Bromley itself or elsewhere in Greater London, we plan travel and timings with care. Bromley is a green south-east London borough. We also photograph in nearby Camden and the City of London. Venues we have photographed at near Bromley include Bromley Court Hotel, Oakley House and The Manor at Bickley.
A green south-east London borough, the largest by area in Greater London with extensive countryside on the North Downs. Bromley South and Bromley North stations serve the borough, with the A21 running south towards Kent. When there is time for couple portraits, Church House Gardens off Bromley High Street, with a lake and the river Ravensbourne nearby is a favourite, and Down House near Downe, the former home of Charles Darwin makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
The tying of the groom's turban and sehra before the milni, photographed with all its ceremony.
The morning meeting of the two families, with garlands, the dhol and warm embraces, captured in full.
Beautifully bound albums designed around your favourite images of the four laavan and the milni.
Every tradition
The kirtan and shabads that fill the gurdwara are as much a part of the story as the laavan themselves. Before the ceremony the groom's sehra is tied, and we photograph the sehra bandi with a gentle eye. We photograph the choora and kaleere given to the bride, and the quiet blessings of her elders.
The doli, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration. The mehndi is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it.

The whole celebration
We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations. Some couples keep an elaborate sequence of events; others a simpler one, and we shape coverage to yours.
Because gurdwaras often require an early finish, the Anand Karaj usually falls in the morning, and we plan for it. We document the grand moments and the quiet ones in between, so nothing is lost.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years behind the lens means we know exactly what comes next, from the sehra bandi to the doli. Decades of gurdwara weddings mean we read the day instinctively and never miss the milni or the doli.
We are used to Sikh celebrations spread across several venues, and keep the day flowing from the milni to the langar. We cover the whole of the UK for Anand Karaj ceremonies, so distance never stands between us and your gurdwara.

Where we travel
We photograph Sikh weddings throughout London and the surrounding area, and the gurdwaras around Bromley are firmly within the area we cover. We are glad to discuss your gurdwara, your reception venue and the journey between them when you enquire.

Good to know
Of course. We regularly photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings, blending the Anand Karaj and Sikh customs with another family's traditions with care and respect.
Yes. We know the four laavan well, and understand that the couple circle the Guru Granth Sahib once for each hymn. We photograph every round quietly from a respectful distance.
Yes. We photograph Punjabi and Sikh weddings across the country and know the order of the milni, the sehra bandi, the choora, the four laavan and the doli.
Very. We photograph the four laavan and the prayers from a respectful distance with quiet, long-lens work, seated with the sangat, so the Anand Karaj is never disturbed.
Yes. A pre-wedding shoot is a lovely way to relax in front of the camera before the big day, and we are happy to arrange one at a location you love.
