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 York, covering the henna night, the signing of the nikah-nama and the walima with elegance and discretion.
Serving York
As a Muslim wedding photographer working in York, York is a historic walled city with grand venues, and we travel throughout Acomb, Haxby and Fulford for nikah and walima celebrations, photographing the ritual, the joy and the quiet family moments alike.
Whether it is an intimate nikah or a grand walima of several hundred guests, we cover every event with sensitivity and an instinct for the moments that matter. We are London-based and travel across North Yorkshire 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
We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal sensitivity. The nikah is a solemn, beautiful moment, and we cover it discreetly; the mehndi and the walima are full of colour and celebration, and we capture all of their energy.
We are mindful of modesty and of segregated events wherever a family keeps them, and we work in a way that always respects your wishes. It is something we have done for couples across North Yorkshire for many years.

The whole celebration
A Muslim wedding often unfolds across several events, and we are there for all of it. It frequently begins with the mangni and a mehndi night, the henna, the music and the laughter around the bride.
Then comes the nikah, with the signing of the contract and the emotion of the rukhsati, followed by the walima reception hosted by the groom's family. We can cover a single event or the whole celebration, with a second photographer for the largest days in York.
Why choose us
With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, we understand the rhythm of a Muslim celebration in York, 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 North Yorkshire and the wider region for Muslim weddings. Nikah and walima celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Where we travel
For couples in York, working with a photographer who travels widely is an advantage, not a complication. We know North Yorkshire well, including Acomb, Haxby and Fulford, and we are glad to discuss your mosques, banqueting halls and marquees and the route between them in advance so the day runs smoothly.
