Sikh Wedding Photographer in Islington

Serving Islington

The story of your Islington wedding

Islington is a fashionable inner north London borough. From the gurdwara to the reception, we keep the day flowing across venues throughout Camden, Hackney. Whether your Anand Karaj is in Islington itself or elsewhere across Greater London, we plan the day around your venues.

We make sure the families are in the story too, from the milni embraces to the blessings of the sangat. 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 take the time beforehand to understand your family's customs and the order of the maiyan, mehndi and jaggo.

Couples come to us from right across London and the surrounding area, and Islington is firmly on our patch. Islington is a fashionable inner north London borough, and we know its gurdwaras well. We also cover nearby Kensington and Chelsea and Lambeth. Venues we have photographed at near Islington include Islington Town Hall and Islington Assembly Hall.

A fashionable inner north London borough centred on Upper Street and Angel, with a lively mix of shops, theatres and restaurants. Served by Angel station on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington station on the Victoria line and London Overground. We often take couples to Highbury Fields, the borough's largest open space for a few quiet portraits, and The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal, in Highbury is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

Punjabi and Sikh customs understood

Heads covered and seated on the floor with the sangat, we photograph the laavan without ever intruding. The exchange of garlands and the joy of the sangat around the couple are moments we love to photograph. For families holding a Sri Akhand Path, we photograph the continuous reading with quiet reverence.

The reception is the joyful finale, with speeches, the first dance, bhangra and giddha. From the turmeric of the maiyan to the music of the jaggo, the events set the tone for the wedding. The maiyan, when turmeric is applied, is full of colour and play, and often holds the warmest moments.
