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 Solihull, covering the milni, the kirtan, the four laavan and the lively reception with elegance and care.
Serving Solihull
Solihull is an affluent town near Birmingham with grand venues. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout Shirley, Knowle and Dorridge, telling the full story from the maiyan and chunni to the laavan, the doli and the reception.
Whether it is an intimate gurdwara ceremony or a celebration 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 the West Midlands 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 the West Midlands for many years.

The whole celebration
Your celebration unfolds over several days, and we are there for all of it. It might open with an intimate maiyan and a joyful jaggo, before the wedding morning brings the milni and the calm of the darbar.
From the four laavan to the doli and the reception, we follow the day at its own pace. Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them, in Solihull and across the West Midlands.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years of experience and more than a thousand weddings mean nothing about an Anand Karaj surprises us. In Solihull we know the gurdwara etiquette by heart and capture the ceremony without ever intruding on it.
We are London-based and travel across the West Midlands 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

From our London base we regularly travel across the West Midlands and the surrounding area, taking in Shirley, Knowle and Dorridge, and we are used to venues spread across a town and to early starts.

Good to know
Popular dates in Solihull 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 Solihull 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.
