The Anand Karaj
We photograph the four laavan and the kirtan with the reverence the Guru Granth Sahib deserves.
Sikh wedding photographer serving Welwyn. Storytelling coverage of the whole celebration, from the maiyan and chunni to the Anand Karaj and the doli, with twenty-five years of experience.
Serving Welwyn
Welwyn is a historic village in the Mimram valley. We photograph Sikh weddings throughout Welwyn Garden City, Codicote and Knebworth, 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 Hertfordshire 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 Welwyn are captured as they happen and never staged.

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 Welwyn and across Hertfordshire.
