Sikh Wedding Photographer in Lewisham

Serving Lewisham

Documenting Sikh weddings in Lewisham

Lewisham is a south-east London borough. Wherever your events are held across Greenwich, Bromley, we plan the timings and travel with care. We cover the whole of London and the surrounding area, and Lewisham and the towns around it are well known to us.

We take the time beforehand to understand your family's customs and the order of the maiyan, mehndi and jaggo. We arrive early for the gurdwara start, stay through the doli and keep pace with the reception. We let the Anand Karaj unfold at its own pace and meet the four laavan with a quiet, watchful eye.

We are often in Lewisham, a south-east London borough, for Sikh weddings, and from London the area, taking in Greenwich, Bromley, is an easy journey. We also photograph in nearby Merton and Newham. Around Lewisham we regularly photograph at JK Banquet Hall and The Garden of Lewisham, among others.

A diverse south-east London borough that was named London Borough of Culture for 2022. Served by Lewisham station and DLR terminus, with the A20 running through the borough. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Manor House Gardens in Lee, with The Horniman Museum and Gardens at Forest Hill close by for a striking backdrop.

Every tradition

At home with Sikh wedding tradition

The kirtan and shabads that fill the gurdwara are as much a part of the story as the laavan themselves. We are mindful of gurdwara etiquette throughout, never turning our back to the Guru Granth Sahib. Heads covered and seated on the floor with the sangat, we photograph the laavan without ever intruding.

The mehndi is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it. We photograph the sehra bandi, when the groom's turban and sehra are tied, with all its ceremony. We document the sagai and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us.
