Sikh Wedding Photographer in Leicester

Serving Leicester

Punjabi and Sikh weddings in Leicester

Leicester is a city with one of Britain's largest South Asian communities, the Golden Mile and many wedding venues. We are comfortable in every setting in Belgrave, Oadby and Evington, from a busy gurdwara to an intimate family maiyan. From Leicester we cover weddings right across Leicestershire, at gurdwaras, hotels, marquees and banqueting suites.

We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the Anand Karaj as faithfully as the bhangra. Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own Anand Karaj rather than posing for it. We arrive early for the gurdwara start, stay through the doli and keep pace with the reception.

Leicester is a city with one of Britain's largest South Asian communities, the Golden Mile and many wedding venues, and we love photographing Sikh weddings here and across the Midlands. We regularly cover nearby Warwick and Loughborough as well. Venues we know well in and near Leicester include Winstanley House, Devonshire Place and The Platinum Suite.

Leicester is a city with one of Britain's largest South Asian communities, centred on the Golden Mile along Belgrave Road and home to major Diwali celebrations. Leicester railway station is on the Midland Main Line with direct services to London St Pancras, and the M1 and M69 serve the city. When there is time for couple portraits, Abbey Park, a Victorian park on the River Soar near the city centre is a favourite, and Leicester Cathedral, reburial place of King Richard III makes a memorable setting.

Every tradition

Every ritual, photographed with care

From the milni to the final ardaas, the Anand Karaj tells its own story, and we follow it closely. Before the ceremony the groom's sehra is tied, and we photograph the sehra bandi with a gentle eye. The exchange of garlands and the joy of the sangat around the couple are moments we love to photograph.

The day often opens early with kirtan in the gurdwara, and we are there for it. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals. We photograph the sehra bandi, when the groom's turban and sehra are tied, with all its ceremony.
