Serving Ealing
Ealing is a west London borough with a diverse community and elegant venues. Your celebration in Acton, Hanwell and Greenford is in experienced hands, from the milni to the doli. We know the local gurdwaras and their early-morning timings well, and plan the day around them.
Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own Anand Karaj rather than posing for it. We anticipate each part of the Anand Karaj, so the milni, the four laavan and the ardaas are never missed. We are at ease with large, multi-day Sikh celebrations and intimate gurdwara ceremonies alike.
Much of our work takes us across Greater London; Ealing, a west London borough with a diverse community and elegant venues, and the towns around it, including Acton, Hanwell and Greenford, are very familiar to us. We also cover nearby Neasden and Tottenham. We are at home at Ealing-area venues such as Pitzhanger Manor, Ealing Town Hall and The Brentham Club.
Ealing is a west London borough long nicknamed Queen of the Suburbs, with a diverse community. Ealing Broadway station is an interchange for the Elizabeth line and the Central and District lines. When there is time for couple portraits, Walpole Park, a Grade II listed park surrounding Pitzhanger Manor is a favourite, and Pitzhanger Manor, the country home designed by the architect Sir John Soane makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
For large gurdwara days, a second shooter covers the milni and the bridal prep at once.
We keep the calm of the darbar sahib and work quietly within gurdwara etiquette.
The tying of the groom's turban and sehra before the milni, photographed with all its ceremony.
Every tradition
We photograph the milni, the morning meeting of the two families, with all of its warmth and garlands. The kirtan and shabads that fill the gurdwara are as much a part of the story as the laavan themselves. We are ready for the palla, when the bride's father places the sash in the couple's hands before the laavan.
We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals. From the turmeric of the maiyan to the music of the jaggo, the events set the tone for the wedding. The doli, when the bride leaves her family home, is the most tender moment of the day.

The whole celebration
The jaggo night brings an evening of music, dancing and candlelit pots before the wedding day itself. The celebration usually builds gradually, from the quiet of a family gathering to the exuberance of the jaggo.
The vegetarian langar follows the ceremony, and we photograph the whole sangat sharing the meal. We stay through the evening to capture the reception, from the grand entrance to the last dance.
Why choose us
Years inside gurdwaras have taught us exactly how to photograph the Anand Karaj respectfully and unseen. A thousand weddings in, we still find every Anand Karaj unique, and photograph it that way.
We travel happily across Greater London and the neighbouring counties for the maiyan, the Anand Karaj and the doli alike. From our London base, Ealing and the gurdwaras of Greater London are an easy, familiar journey.

Where we travel
We cover the whole of the UK for Anand Karaj ceremonies, so distance never stands between us and your gurdwara. Reaching your gurdwara is simply part of how we work, and distance is never a barrier to covering the milni.
