Serving Wellingborough
Wellingborough is a Northamptonshire town with a diverse community. We are used to multi-venue days throughout Northamptonshire, moving smoothly between Rushden, Irthlingborough and Kettering. Sikh weddings often begin early in the gurdwara, and we are always in good time for the milni.
We keep the calm of the kirtan and the exuberance of the reception in equal measure. We read the rhythm of a Sikh celebration and are always in the right place for the milni, the laavan and the doli. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the choora and kaleere as well as the four laavan.
Whether your Anand Karaj is in Wellingborough itself or elsewhere in Northamptonshire, we plan travel and timings with care. Wellingborough is a Northamptonshire town with a diverse community. We also photograph in nearby Kettering and Northampton. We are at home at Wellingborough-area venues such as The Stanwick Hotel and Grendon Lakes.
Wellingborough is a Northamptonshire market town with a diverse community and a heritage of the boot and shoe trade. Wellingborough railway station is on the Midland Main Line about 65 miles from London St Pancras, with the A45 close by. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Swanspool Gardens, an ornamental park near the town centre, with The Jacobean Croyland Abbey, now part of the town's heritage centre and library close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
From the Akhand Path and maiyan to the doli, every day of the Sikh celebration covered.
From the morning kirtan in the gurdwara to the last bhangra of the reception, told as one story.
The morning meeting of the two families, with garlands, the dhol and warm embraces, captured in full.
Every tradition
We work discreetly at the back and the sides of the darbar sahib, so the Anand Karaj is never disturbed. Heads covered and seated on the floor with the sangat, we photograph the laavan without ever intruding. The langar that follows the ceremony, shared by the whole sangat, is a moment of community we capture with warmth.
The jaggo night is an evening of music, dancing and pots lit with candles, and we capture all of its energy. We document the sagai and the engagement that begin the journey, when families ask us. The dhol and bhangra of the jaggo are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy.

The whole celebration
The celebration usually builds gradually, from the quiet of a family gathering to the exuberance of the jaggo. A celebration might open with the chunni ceremony, followed by the maiyan and the mehndi.
Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue. We know the order and timing of the wedding day, so we are always in position for each laav.
Why choose us
We have photographed Sikh weddings and their gurdwara ceremonies across the country for more than two decades. Experience means we are ready for the early gurdwara start, the milni and the precise order of the four laavan.
We are London-based but rarely in London; much of our work takes us to the gurdwaras and jaggo nights of the Midlands. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout the Midlands, and the gurdwaras around Wellingborough are firmly within the area we cover.

Where we travel
Reaching your gurdwara is simply part of how we work, and distance is never a barrier to covering the milni. We factor in the early gurdwara timings and the milni carefully, so we are always in position before the four laavan.

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. A pre-wedding shoot is a lovely way to relax in front of the camera before the big day, and we are happy to arrange one at a location you love.
Very much so. We know the ceremony by heart, from the milni and the kirtan to the ardaas and the four laavan, and we position ourselves so each laav is captured calmly and respectfully.
Very. We photograph the four laavan and the prayers from a respectful distance with quiet, long-lens work, seated with the sangat, so the Anand Karaj is never disturbed.
