Sikh Wedding Photographer in Sevenoaks

We shoot on professional bodies and bring complete spares of everything, cameras, lenses, batteries and flash, so one fault could never halt the day. On top of that, each camera saves every shot to two cards simultaneously. You cannot restage an Anand Karaj, which is exactly why backing everything up is not optional for us but built in. Venues we know near Sevenoaks include St Julians Club and Riverhill Himalayan Gardens.

Very much so. The Anand Karaj is generally held in the morning, so we frequently begin before sunrise with the bride's preparations, the choora and the groom's household preparing. We handle all our own logistics the previous night, arrive early and stay fresh right through a day that can run to fourteen hours. Early mornings are simply how Sikh weddings go. Sevenoaks and neighbouring Riverhead, Seal and Dunton Green are all covered.

We build protection in from the first frame, as each image is captured to dual cards inside the camera. Back at base, everything is copied to multiple separate drives before any card gets cleared, and the files sit in several places until your gallery has been delivered and saved. That means your wedding exists in more than one copy from the outset. Locally in Sevenoaks that takes in Knole, a National Trust house set in a medieval deer park.

Yes, our public liability and professional indemnity insurance are both in place, and we are happy to pass the certificate to your gurdwara committee or Sevenoaks venue in advance. Plenty of venues expect to see it these days. That kind of cover is one of the understated hallmarks of an established professional rather than a well-equipped hobbyist.

Yes, that is fine. Some couples choose professional coverage of the Anand Karaj on its own, from the milni outside to the four laavan before the Guru Granth Sahib, leaving everything else informal. We are glad to take that on and price it honestly. It is common for couples to extend to the reception after we have discussed the day together. Getting to Sevenoaks is straightforward for us: Sevenoaks station runs Southeastern services to London Charing Cross in around 35 minutes, near the M25 and M26.

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. For outdoor photographs in Sevenoaks we often use Knole Park, with over 1,000 acres of parkland and fallow deer.

Sikh weddings rarely fit tidy hours, so we shape our coverage around your real running order instead of a fixed clock. A full day usually spans the morning preparations and the baraat, the Anand Karaj, the langar and family portraits, and carries on to the reception. When things overrun, and they often do, we just stay with you. We know Sevenoaks well, including Knole, a National Trust house set in a medieval deer park.
