Serving Maple Cross
Maple Cross is a Hertfordshire village in the Three Rivers district. Sikh families throughout Mill End, Sarratt trust us with their celebrations, large and small. Whether your Anand Karaj is in Maple Cross itself or elsewhere across Hertfordshire, we plan the day around your venues.
We move quietly around the darbar sahib, capturing the four laavan as they happen rather than staging them. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the choora and kaleere as well as the four laavan. We are at ease with large, multi-day Sikh celebrations and intimate gurdwara ceremonies alike.
We are often in Maple Cross, a Hertfordshire village in the Three Rivers district, for Sikh weddings, and from London the area, taking in Mill End, Sarratt, is an easy journey. We also photograph in nearby Mill End and Oxhey. Local Sikh wedding venues we know near Maple Cross include The Grove, The Waterside Venue and Moor Park Golf Club.
A small Hertfordshire village on the western fringe of Rickmansworth in the Three Rivers district, made up largely of post-war housing. Sits beside junction 17 of the M25 motorway on the A412 Denham Way. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Maple Lodge Nature Reserve in the Colne Valley Regional Park, with The Cross Inn, a seventeenth-century former coaching inn close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
The tying of the groom's turban and sehra before the milni, photographed with all its ceremony.
Beautifully bound albums designed around your favourite images of the four laavan and the milni.
Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your Anand Karaj and every event around it.
Every tradition
The langar that follows the ceremony, shared by the whole sangat, is a moment of community we capture with warmth. From the milni to the final ardaas, the Anand Karaj tells its own story, and we follow it closely. We photograph the choora and kaleere given to the bride, and the quiet blessings of her elders.
From the turmeric of the maiyan to the music of the jaggo, the events set the tone for the wedding. The kaleere tied to the bride's choora carry their own meaning, and we photograph the ritual with care. We photograph the bridal preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye.

The whole celebration
The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration. Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them.
We keep the day flowing, moving smoothly between the ceremony, the langar, the family photos and the reception. The story often turns to the doli in the afternoon, before the energy of the evening reception.
Why choose us
We have photographed Sikh weddings and their gurdwara ceremonies across the country for more than two decades. Over a thousand celebrations have taught us when to step close for the milni and when to stand quietly back during the laavan.
From our London base, Maple Cross and the gurdwaras of Hertfordshire are an easy, familiar journey. Wherever your jaggo and your Anand Karaj take place across the Home Counties, we will be there in good time for the morning kirtan.

Where we travel
