Telling your Sikh wedding story in Cambridge

Cambridge is a historic university city with grand college venues. We photograph Sikh weddings across Cambridgeshire, including Histon, Cherry Hinton and Trumpington, at gurdwaras, banqueting halls and marquees. We photograph at gurdwaras, banqueting halls and marquees right across Cambridgeshire.

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 let the Anand Karaj unfold at its own pace and meet the four laavan with a quiet, watchful eye.

From the gurdwara to the reception, we keep the day flowing across Cambridgeshire, and Cambridge, a historic university city with grand college venues, is firmly within our patch. We also photograph in nearby Huntingdon and Peterborough. Venues we know well in and near Cambridge include Trinity Hall, Jesus College and Downing College.

Cambridge is a historic university city on the River Cam known for its ancient colleges. Cambridge railway station connects to London King's Cross and Liverpool Street, with the M11 and A14 nearby. When there is time for couple portraits, The Backs, the riverside college lawns and gardens along the River Cam is a favourite, and King's College Chapel with its late Gothic fan vaulting makes a memorable setting.

What we offer

Sikh wedding coverage in Cambridge

01

The Langar

The vegetarian langar shared by the whole sangat after the Anand Karaj, photographed with warmth.

02

The Reception

The speeches, the first dance, the bhangra and the giddha, captured to the very last guest.

03

The Doli

The bride's departure from her family home, the most emotional moment of the day, photographed with great sensitivity.

Every tradition

Knowing the order of your day

For families holding a Sri Akhand Path, we photograph the continuous reading with quiet reverence. We are ready for the palla, when the bride's father places the sash in the couple's hands before the laavan. We know the order of the Anand Karaj by heart, from the kirtan to the ardaas and the four laavan.

The kaleere tied to the bride's choora carry their own meaning, and we photograph the ritual with care. We document the sagai and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals.

The whole celebration

From the milni to the reception

The maiyan and mehndi are intimate, colourful gatherings that set the tone for everything to come. The early events are full of warmth and laughter, and we photograph them with the same care as the Anand Karaj.

The wedding day itself is a journey, from the morning milni and the kirtan to the laavan and the doli. We stay through the evening to capture the reception, from the grand entrance to the last dance.

Why choose us

A safe pair of hands in Cambridge

Couples choose us for our calm presence and our knowledge of every ritual, from the milni to the four laavan. Decades of gurdwara weddings mean we read the day instinctively and never miss the milni or the doli.

We travel happily across Cambridgeshire and the neighbouring counties for the maiyan, the Anand Karaj and the doli alike. Wherever your jaggo and your Anand Karaj take place across East Anglia, we will be there in good time for the morning kirtan.
