The Anand Karaj
We photograph the four laavan and the kirtan with the reverence the Guru Granth Sahib deserves.
Sikh wedding photography in Banbury, capturing the Anand Karaj, the four laavan and the joy of the celebrations with calm, storytelling coverage and fine-art albums.
Serving Banbury
Banbury is a market town with country-house venues. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout Bicester, Brackley and Chipping Norton, telling the full story from the maiyan and chunni to the laavan, the doli and the reception.
From the maiyan and mehndi to the Anand Karaj and the reception, we document the whole celebration with a calm, unobtrusive eye, always respectful of the gurdwara. We are London-based and travel across Oxfordshire and the wider region for Sikh weddings. The Anand Karaj and its celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

What we offer
We photograph the four laavan and the kirtan with the reverence the Guru Granth Sahib deserves.
Heads covered, never turning our backs to the Guru, we know exactly how to work respectfully inside the darbar.
Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your celebration.
Every tradition
From the kurmai that seals the engagement to the doli that closes the wedding day, a Sikh celebration tells a complete story, and we photograph all of it. The milni, the laavan and the langar each carry their own feeling.
Having photographed Anand Karaj ceremonies for many years, we read the rhythm of the gurdwara instinctively, so the sacred moments before the Guru Granth Sahib in Banbury are captured as they happen and never staged.

The whole celebration
The finest Sikh wedding photographs are spread right across the celebration, not saved for the Anand Karaj alone. The maiyan and sangeet often hold the warmest moments, and the milni sets the tone for the day.
We document the baraat, the four laavan, the doli and the reception with the same attention, telling the full story from first event to last. In Banbury we are glad to cover a single day or the whole celebration.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years of experience and more than a thousand weddings mean nothing about an Anand Karaj surprises us. In Banbury we know the gurdwara etiquette by heart and capture the ceremony without ever intruding on it.
We are London-based and travel across Oxfordshire and the wider region for Sikh weddings. The Anand Karaj and its celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Where we travel
Although we are London-based, a large share of our work takes us out across Oxfordshire and beyond. Banbury and the surrounding areas of Bicester, Brackley and Chipping Norton are very familiar to us, and we factor in travel and timings so we are always in the right place when it matters.
