Beautiful Sikh wedding photography in Chalfont St Peter

Chalfont St Peter is a picturesque Buckinghamshire village. Across Gerrards Cross, Denham and the rest of Buckinghamshire, we cover the milni, the Anand Karaj and the reception with a careful eye. Sikh weddings often begin early in the gurdwara, and we are always in good time for the milni.

We photograph with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind each shabad the ragis sing. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the choora and kaleere as well as the four laavan. We anticipate each part of the Anand Karaj, so the milni, the four laavan and the ardaas are never missed.

Sikh families across Gerrards Cross, Denham trust us with their weddings, and Chalfont St Peter, a picturesque Buckinghamshire village, is a place we return to often. We also cover nearby Denham and High Wycombe. Chalfont St Peter and the towns around it offer venues such as The Greyhound Inn, The Bull Hotel and Denham Grove, all familiar to us.

A large Buckinghamshire village described as the gateway to the Chiltern Hills, with the chalk stream river Misbourne flowing through it. The A413 links the village towards Amersham and Gerrards Cross, with Gerrards Cross station on the Chiltern Main Line nearby. We often take couples to Gold Hill Common, around 16 acres of open green and small woodland near the village centre for a few quiet portraits, and St Peter's parish church, a Grade II listed building dating from 1715 beside the Misbourne is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

From maiyan to doli

Heads covered and seated on the floor with the sangat, we photograph the laavan without ever intruding. The hukamnama, the reading taken after the laavan, closes the ceremony, and we capture it with respect. We are ready for the palla, when the bride's father places the sash in the couple's hands before the laavan.

The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention. The mehndi, the jaggo and the maiyan each carry their own mood, and we photograph them all. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration.
