The Anand Karaj
We photograph the four laavan and the kirtan with the reverence the Guru Granth Sahib deserves.
Documentary-style Sikh wedding photography in Dorking, covering the milni, the kirtan, the four laavan and the lively reception with elegance and care.
Serving Dorking
Dorking is a Surrey town beneath Box Hill with country venues. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout Leatherhead, Reigate and Guildford, telling the full story from the maiyan and chunni to the laavan, the doli and the reception.
We move quietly through the day, from the morning kirtan to the last bhangra, so the story of your Sikh wedding is told in full. We are London-based and travel across Surrey 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
No two Sikh families keep their customs in quite the same way, and we photograph yours as you keep them. From the roka and kurmai to the chunni, the maiyan and the vatna, we follow each event closely and respectfully.
We are used to the emotion of the doli as the bride leaves, the joy of the langar and the music of the sangeet, and we cover them all without ever getting in the way. It is something we have done for couples across Surrey for many years.

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 Dorking we are glad to cover a single day or the whole celebration.

Good to know
Popular dates in Dorking book up well ahead, so we recommend enquiring as early as you can. Tell us your date and we will confirm availability straight away.
Yes. For larger Sikh weddings we bring a second photographer so the milni outside and the kirtan inside the darbar are both fully covered.
Yes. The milni, the meeting of the families, and the energy of the baraat with the dhol are some of our favourite moments to photograph.
It depends on the size of your celebration. Many weddings are covered beautifully by one photographer, but for large multi-event days in Dorking we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
You will receive a small preview soon after the wedding, with your full edited gallery and album to follow. A Sikh wedding produces thousands of frames, so careful editing takes a little time and is well worth the wait.
