Sikh Wedding Photographer in Shrewsbury

Serving Shrewsbury

Your Sikh wedding photographer in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is a historic county town in a loop of the Severn. Across Telford, Bayston Hill and Wem and the rest of Shropshire, we cover the milni, the Anand Karaj and the reception with a careful eye. From Shrewsbury we cover weddings right across Shropshire, at gurdwaras, hotels, marquees and banqueting suites.

Inside the gurdwara we work with great discretion, heads covered and shoes removed, never intruding on the kirtan. We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless portraits taken away from the bustle of the gurdwara. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the choora and kaleere as well as the four laavan.

We know Shrewsbury, a historic county town in a loop of the Severn, and the surrounding part of Shropshire well, having photographed Sikh weddings throughout Telford, Bayston Hill and Wem. We are often in nearby Telford and Worcester too. We are at home at Shrewsbury-area venues such as Albright Hussey Manor Hotel, Rowton Castle and Albrighton Hall.

Shrewsbury is the historic county town of Shropshire, set within a loop of the River Severn and the birthplace of Charles Darwin. Shrewsbury railway station is a junction served by lines from Birmingham, Crewe and Wales, with the A5 and A49 close by. We often take couples to The Quarry park with its sunken Dingle gardens beside the Severn for a few quiet portraits, and Shrewsbury Castle and the medieval Shrewsbury Abbey is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every tradition

From milni to the four laavan

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. The hukamnama, the reading taken after the laavan, closes the ceremony, and we capture it with respect.

The jaggo night is an evening of music, dancing and pots lit with candles, and we capture all of its energy. The maiyan, when turmeric is applied, is full of colour and play, and often holds the warmest moments. The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention.
