Serving Manchester

Your Sikh wedding photographer in Manchester

As a Sikh wedding photographer working in Manchester, Manchester is a great northern city with one of the UK's largest South Asian communities and the famous Curry Mile, and we travel throughout Rusholme, Cheetham Hill and Longsight 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 Manchester and the wider region for Sikh weddings. The Anand Karaj and its celebrations are a speciality and distance is never a problem.

Every tradition

From the milni to the four laavan

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 Manchester.

The whole celebration

Every event, across every day

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 Manchester a second photographer covers two places at once.

Good to know

Sikh weddings in Manchester, FAQs

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.

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 Manchester we bring a second so two places at once are always covered.
