The Nikah and Walima
From the signing of the nikah-nama to the joy of the walima, we know the events and their order.
Documentary-style Muslim wedding photography in Barking, covering the henna night, the signing of the nikah-nama and the walima with elegance and discretion.
Serving Barking
Barking is an east London town with a large South Asian community, and we love photographing Muslim weddings here. Across Dagenham, East Ham and Ilford we cover the mehndi, the nikah and the walima with a careful, discreet eye, mindful of every family's customs.
From the mangni and mehndi to the nikah and the walima, we document the whole celebration with a calm, unobtrusive eye, always respectful of your family's wishes. We are London-based and travel across Greater London and the wider region for Muslim weddings. Nikah and walima celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

What we offer
From the signing of the nikah-nama to the joy of the walima, we know the events and their order.
We photograph sensitively, mindful of segregated celebrations and each family's customs.
Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your celebration.
Every tradition
A Muslim wedding is built around the nikah, the marriage contract, and we photograph it with all the dignity it deserves. We are familiar with the signing of the nikah-nama, the giving of the mahr and the ijab-e-qubool, the words of acceptance.
Around it sit the mangni, the mehndi with its henna and music, and the warmth of the walima hosted by the groom's family. We know when to step in close and when to stand quietly back, in Barking and wherever you marry.

The whole celebration
We plan our coverage around the shape of your wedding. Many celebrations begin with the mangni and mehndi, move through the nikah, and build to the walima reception over one or more days.
Whatever your schedule, we arrive in good time, stay late and work discreetly so every event is photographed properly. For segregated or multi-venue days in Barking a second photographer makes sure nothing is missed.
Why choose us
With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, we understand the rhythm of a Muslim celebration in Barking, the signing of the nikah-nama, the emotion of the rukhsati and the joy of the walima, and we capture each with care.
We are London-based and travel across Greater London and the wider region for Muslim weddings. Nikah and walima celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Good to know
Yes. We travel to Barking and across Greater London for nikah and walima celebrations. Muslim weddings are a speciality and distance is never a problem.
Yes. We are very used to working sensitively at segregated weddings and, where it helps, can arrange a second photographer so both sides of the celebration are properly covered.
Absolutely. We regularly cover the mangni, mehndi, nikah and walima across several days in Barking, with additional photographers for the largest celebrations.
You will receive a small preview soon after the wedding, with your full edited gallery and album to follow. A Muslim wedding produces thousands of frames, so careful editing takes a little time and is well worth the wait.
It depends on the size of your celebration. Many weddings are covered beautifully by one photographer, but for large multi-event days in Barking we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
