Hindu Wedding and Reception at Maher Centre.

I originally met Devan and Jigna at Nisha and Sanjay’s wedding at the Belfry in 2018. Devan was one of Sanjay’s best men – but their friendship goes back so many years. So it was naturally my honour to photograph their wedding events.

The Prewedding Shoot in London

I love a good prewedding shoot and we created some stunning pictures in London for Jigna and Devan. With pictures at the stunning Barbican as a backdrop and ending with some cool images in the City meant we had a selection of beautifully composed and lit pictures.

The Civil Wedding

Devan and Jigna’s civil wedding took place the week before their main Hindu Wedding and Reception. It was an opportunity for me to meet their family and friends before the main event and it really allowed me to create some cool pictures. Their civil wedding took place at the Leicester Registry office in the town centre with their portraits at the local Botanical Gardens. I’m definitely going to go back there!

The Hindu Wedding and Reception

Taking place at the Maher Centre this is a venue well suited for large weddings and receptions. The morning ceremony was beautifully conducted by the local priest who ensured it was a beautiful mix of ceremony and sermon. But working with other great suppliers made the day such fun. With the fun we had during the ceremony to the portraits in the park ensured we got some incredible pictures.

The reception took place on the same day with my highlight being the amazing speeches from Jigna and Devans friends and families. It was one amazing party where everyone took part in celebrating the wedding union that took place. It culminated in an epic Groomsman shot being sprayed with champagne!

Mahar Centre - Hindu Wedding and Reception

“Just want to say thank you for being part of our wedding and how glad we are that we chose you to capture our special week. From our preshoot session to just meeting and getting to know us, you made us feel comfortable and reassured us you knew what you were doing and given our very tight schedule gave us confidence it could all be done which in the end it was.

From being a couple who aren’t used to having photos taken you showed us how to feel comfortable and confident throughout. Your experience and vision instantly showed when we were doing our preshoot in locations you were new too but still were able to get some amazing photos using your unique techniques.

We were also pleased with the way you and your team are able to work with other suppliers we had such as the videographer and work collaboratively to capture the wedding day and also the way you managed our family members so you were able to be at the right place at the right time to get that right photo. When it came to the LONG list of family/friend group photos you were able to organise the situation in a friendly manner very quickly which I was impressed with. Even our own family members told us how chilled out and nice photographer you were.”
