Sikh Wedding Photographer in Perivale

Absolutely happy. Since the Anand Karaj tends to take place in the morning, our day often opens before dawn with the bride's preparations, the choora and the groom's family getting ready. Having sorted our logistics the night before, we turn up ahead of time and keep our energy up across what can be a fourteen-hour day. Dawn starts come with the territory. Around Perivale we are glad to photograph at Royal Nawaab Perivale.

Quietly and with respect, from your entrance into the darbar hall through to the closing ardas. We stay well back from the Guru Granth Sahib, shoot entirely without flash and shift position only when it will not disturb the sangat. A quarter of a century of Sikh weddings means we anticipate each stage and are already placed before it starts. Outdoors in Perivale we would head for Perivale Wood, an eleven-hectare ancient oak woodland carpeted with bluebells each spring and the second oldest nature reserve in Britain.

Yes, and these are some of our favourite events to cover. The maiyan with its turmeric and laughter, the jago carried through the house with singing, and the emotional choora ceremony with the maternal family all photograph wonderfully. Covering them also means the wedding day feels easier, because your relatives already know us by then. We cover Perivale and nearby Greenford, Alperton and Ealing.

Yes. The moment your maternal uncle slides the red and ivory bangles onto your wrists is one of the most emotional of the whole week, and we make sure it is beautifully recorded. We also photograph the kalire being tied and the playful shaking of them over the unmarried girls, a tradition families in Perivale always want kept.

Yes, gladly. We travel to Perivale and further afield for Sikh weddings without a second thought. The Anand Karaj, along with the milni, maiyan and doli around it, is our speciality, so the distance is never anything for you to fret over.
