Sikh Wedding Photographer in Greenwich

Serving Greenwich

Sikh wedding photography in Greenwich

Greenwich is a riverside south-east London borough rich in maritime history. Your celebration in Lewisham, Bexley is in experienced hands, from the milni to the doli. Whether your Anand Karaj is in Greenwich itself or elsewhere across Greater London, we plan the day around your venues.

Inside the gurdwara we never turn our back to the Guru Granth Sahib, shooting discreetly from the sides and the back. We take the time beforehand to understand your family's customs and the order of the maiyan, mehndi and jaggo. Inside the gurdwara we work with great discretion, heads covered and shoes removed, never intruding on the kirtan.

From our London base we travel across Greater London for Sikh weddings, and Greenwich, a riverside south-east London borough rich in maritime history, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Hackney and Hammersmith and Fulham. Greenwich and the towns around it offer venues such as Old Royal Naval College, Charlton House and National Maritime Museum, all familiar to us.

Greenwich is a riverside south-east London borough rich in maritime history and home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site around its historic town centre. Cutty Sark DLR station and Greenwich station connect the area, with the DLR and National Rail links to central London. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Greenwich Park, a Royal Park with panoramic river views and tree-lined avenues, and The Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian line gives the day a strong sense of Greenwich.

Every tradition

From the milni to the laavan

Before the ceremony the groom's sehra is tied, and we photograph the sehra bandi with a gentle eye. We keep our distance during the laavan and the prayers, and step in only for the joyful greetings. We know the order of the Anand Karaj by heart, from the kirtan to the ardaas and the four laavan.

We photograph the chunni ceremony and the giving of the choora, and the emotion that comes with them. From the turmeric of the maiyan to the music of the jaggo, the events set the tone for the wedding. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals.
