Sikh Wedding Photographer in Reigate

Our approach is uncomplicated, a booking fee to confirm followed by the balance a fortnight or so before the celebrations begin. If it suits your budgeting, we happily agree an interim payment in between, particularly for multi-day bookings. We never spring unexpected costs on you once the wedding is over, so the figure quoted is the figure you settle. Open air sessions near Reigate tend to use Priory Park, home to the 13th century Reigate Priory with formal gardens and a lake.

Not in the slightest, that is how a Sikh wedding day usually runs. We work the journey from the gurdwara to the banqueting hall into the timeline, and often turn that window into couple portraits while your guests are on the road. Where the Reigate venues sit far apart, our second photographer goes ahead to shoot the room before anyone arrives.

Yes, we do. Each of our fine-art albums is hand-finished with archival printing and covers built to be handled for decades. A Sikh wedding lends an album a natural arc, running from the pre-wedding nights through the Anand Karaj to the doli, and we lay out the spreads so the story flows as it should. Couples in Reigate and {COUNTY} often add parent copies.

Certainly. A number of couples want us solely for the ceremony at the gurdwara, from the milni out front to the four laavan before the Guru Granth Sahib, and handle the remaining events themselves. That is a perfectly good arrangement and fairly priced. Many end up adding the reception once we have walked through the day in full. We cover Reigate and nearby Reigate Heath, Merstham and Betchworth.

That is why we leave room in our timings, since kirtan, the ardas and guests arriving seldom keep to the clock. Should the laavan start late or the milni run long, we simply carry on shooting, no fuss made. Your job is to be present at your wedding, not to keep one eye on us worrying about the hours. Venues we know near Reigate include Reigate Manor and Kingswood Manor.

We work with professional camera bodies and carry complete spares for cameras, lenses, batteries and flash, so a single fault never halts the coverage. Each camera writes every frame to two memory cards simultaneously. An Anand Karaj cannot be staged again, so redundancy is not an optional extra for us; it is simply how we work. We know Reigate well, including Reigate Castle grounds, a public park on the site of a former Norman castle.

Absolutely, the palla is one relatives always request. We record your father placing the scarf in your hands, the emotion he shows and the pair of you linked by it right through the four laavan. It happens fast, so our familiarity with the order of the Anand Karaj means we are in position for it, not scrambling after it. Getting to Reigate is straightforward for us: Reigate railway station on the North Downs Line, with connections via Redhill to London.
