Sikh Wedding Photographer in Croydon

Serving Croydon

Telling your Sikh wedding story in Croydon

Croydon is a large south London town with a diverse community and grand event venues. From the gurdwara to the reception, we keep the day flowing across venues throughout Thornton Heath, Purley and Norbury. We photograph at gurdwaras, banqueting halls and marquees right across Greater London.

We follow your family's Sikh customs closely and photograph the sehra bandi and the palla exactly as you keep them. We balance documentary coverage with a few quiet portraits, so your album holds both the reverence of the darbar sahib and the energy of the bhangra. We are calm and unhurried, gathering the whole story of the Anand Karaj without ever getting in the way.

We are often in Croydon, a large south London town with a diverse community and grand event venues, for Sikh weddings, and from London the area, taking in Thornton Heath, Purley and Norbury, is an easy journey. We also photograph in nearby Hayes and Rayners Lane. Close to Croydon, we have worked at venues including Grand Sapphire, Addington Palace and Imperial Banqueting.

Croydon is a large town in south London with a diverse community and a major town centre. East Croydon station is a major rail hub and interchange with London Tramlink. When there is time for couple portraits, Lloyd Park, a large landscaped park served by its own tram stop is a favourite, and Fairfield Halls, a major arts, theatre and concert venue makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

Every ritual, photographed with care

We are mindful of gurdwara etiquette throughout, never turning our back to the Guru Granth Sahib. At the heart of a Sikh wedding is the Anand Karaj, the blissful union performed before the Guru Granth Sahib. The kirtan and shabads that fill the gurdwara are as much a part of the story as the laavan themselves.

We capture the groom's arrival for the milni, surrounded by dancing family and the beat of the dhol. The kaleere tied to the bride's choora carry their own meaning, and we photograph the ritual with care. We photograph the sehra bandi, when the groom's turban and sehra are tied, with all its ceremony.
