Serving Swindon
Swindon is a Wiltshire town with a South Asian community. Across Highworth, Wroughton and Royal Wootton Bassett and the rest of Wiltshire, we cover the milni, the Anand Karaj and the reception with a careful eye. We are as at ease with a quiet family langar as we are with a reception of several hundred guests.
We anticipate each part of the Anand Karaj, so the milni, the four laavan and the ardaas are never missed. We are at ease with large, multi-day Sikh celebrations and intimate gurdwara ceremonies alike. Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own Anand Karaj rather than posing for it.
We travel throughout Wiltshire for Anand Karaj ceremonies, and Swindon, a Wiltshire town with a South Asian community, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Bath and Southampton. Venues we have photographed at near Swindon include Chiseldon House, Stanton House Hotel and Blunsdon House Hotel.
Swindon is a Wiltshire town that grew around the Great Western Railway works and retains a strong railway heritage. Swindon railway station is on the Great Western Main Line with fast trains to London Paddington. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Lydiard Park, a country estate with formal walled gardens and a Palladian house, with STEAM, the Museum of the Great Western Railway, housed in a former railway works building close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
The standing prayer that frames the Anand Karaj, captured as the sangat bow before the Guru Granth Sahib.
From the Akhand Path and maiyan to the doli, every day of the Sikh celebration covered.
From the milni and the kirtan to the four laavan before the Guru Granth Sahib, every part understood and captured.
Every tradition
The langar that follows the ceremony, shared by the whole sangat, is a moment of community we capture with warmth. The kirtan and shabads that fill the gurdwara are as much a part of the story as the laavan themselves. The most sacred moments inside the gurdwara are captured with a quiet long lens, from a respectful distance.
The maiyan, when turmeric is applied, is full of colour and play, and often holds the warmest moments. We photograph the sehra bandi, when the groom's turban and sehra are tied, with all its ceremony. We capture the family moments around the bride and groom, not just the rituals.

The whole celebration
The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration. The turmeric of the maiyan and the henna of the mehndi are rich with colour, and we make the most of it.
We document the grand moments and the quiet ones in between, so nothing is lost. The story often turns to the doli in the afternoon, before the energy of the evening reception.
Why choose us
We are trusted with Sikh celebrations of every size, from an intimate darbar sahib to several hundred in the langar hall. We bring the steadiness that only comes from photographing the Anand Karaj for twenty-five years.
We are used to Sikh celebrations spread across several venues, and keep the day flowing from the milni to the langar. We cover the whole of the UK for Anand Karaj ceremonies, so distance never stands between us and your gurdwara.

Where we travel
Reaching your gurdwara is simply part of how we work, and distance is never a barrier to covering the milni. We are London-based and travel across Wiltshire and the wider region for the Anand Karaj and every event around it.

Yes, and it is one of our favourite events. We capture the music, the dancing and the candlelit pots, with all of the energy the jaggo brings.
Yes. For larger Sikh weddings we bring a second photographer, so the milni and the bridal preparations can be covered at once and both the ceremony and the guests are fully captured.
