Serving Forest Gate

Capturing the Anand Karaj in Forest Gate

As a Sikh wedding photographer working in Forest Gate, Forest Gate is a diverse east London neighbourhood, and we travel throughout East Ham, Stratford and Manor Park for the Anand Karaj and the celebrations around it, photographing the ritual, the energy and the quiet family moments alike.

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 Greater London and the wider region for Sikh weddings. The Anand Karaj and its celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Every tradition

At home with Sikh wedding tradition

A Sikh wedding centres on the Anand Karaj, the blissful union performed before the Guru Granth Sahib, and we photograph it with the reverence it deserves. We know the kirtan, the ardas and the four laavan, the hymns the couple circle the Guru to.

We understand gurdwara etiquette deeply, covered heads, no shoes, never a back turned to the Guru, so we capture the ceremony respectfully and unobtrusively. Whatever your family keeps, we have photographed it many times in and around Forest Gate.

The whole celebration

From maiyan to doli in Forest Gate

We plan our coverage around the shape of your celebration. Many Sikh weddings begin with the maiyan, the mehndi and the sangeet, move into the milni and the Anand Karaj, and build to the reception over two or three days.

Whatever your schedule, we arrive early, stay late and keep pace with the day so every event, sacred or joyful, is photographed properly. For multi-venue days in Forest Gate a second photographer covers two places at once.

Good to know

Sikh weddings in Forest Gate, FAQs

Yes. We have photographed Anand Karaj ceremonies across Greater London and the wider region for many years, at gurdwaras, banqueting venues and marquees alike.

Always. We know the order of the Anand Karaj, the kirtan, the four laavan and the ardas, and we anticipate each so nothing is rushed or missed.

Of course. We regularly photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings in Forest Gate, blending the traditions of both families with care.

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.

It depends on the size of your celebration. Many weddings are covered beautifully by one photographer, but for large multi-event days in Forest Gate we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
