What is the perfect Asian wedding venue? Couples all have the dream wedding venue in mind, sometimes couples do have varying opinions of what is the perfect venue. For some, it’s functional places, like a dedicated venue like Nawaabs London, or Arianna Gardens. For others, it’s a Manor House with rolling fields backing onto a lake with sailboats in the distance.
Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable events of your life. From the dress and the flowers to the food and the music, every detail should be perfect. One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right venue. Not only should it be functional and comfortable for your guests, but it should also provide a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photographs. Here are some tips for picking the perfect wedding venue that could lead to some amazing Asian Wedding Pictures.
The Connaught rooms London
Consider the lighting: When you’re looking at potential venues, pay attention to the lighting. The best lighting for wedding photos is natural light, so look for a venue with large windows or outdoor space. If the venue doesn’t have great natural light, make sure it has good artificial lighting that can be adjusted to create the right atmosphere.
Think about the scenery:
The scenery is a critical element in setting the tone for your wedding photos. Choose a venue with beautiful scenery and architecture, whether it’s a stunning garden or a historic building. Make sure the scenery complements the theme of your wedding, so everything looks cohesive.
Research the location
The location of your wedding venue will play a significant role in your wedding photography. Look for venues that are close to scenic locations or landmarks that you might want to include in your wedding photos. If you’re planning a destination wedding, make sure to scout out the best spots beforehand.
Check the rules:
Some venues have strict rules about photography, which could limit your photographer’s creativity. Be sure to ask the venue about their photography policies before you book, so you know what to expect.
Visit the venue in person:
Before you book a venue, it’s crucial to visit it in person. This will give you a chance to see the lighting, scenery, and location for yourself, and to imagine how your wedding photos will look. Take a camera with you to take some test shots and see how the venue looks on camera.
Your wedding venue is an essential aspect of your wedding day. It sets the tone and creates the backdrop for your wedding photos, which you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Keep these tips in mind as you search for the perfect venue, and you’re sure to find one that will create the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos.
Well we can all dream right, if you are still not sure about the venue have a look at the venue list in a previous blog post here or visit Asian Venue Guide here

Wedding Storybook: Your wedding day is one of the most special and memorable days of your life. Capturing the moments of that day through photography is crucial to relive those cherished memories. However, the way in which you present those photographs can significantly impact how you and others experience them. This is where wedding storybooks come in – they have revolutionised the way in which you can access and share your wedding day in a social and personally engaging way.
While digital copies of photographs may be more convenient, there are some significant benefits to having a printed wedding storybook. One of the most apparent benefits is the physical presence of a book that you can hold, flip through, and feel. Unlike digital copies that can be lost in a sea of files, wedding storybooks stand out as a tangible objects that can evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder every time you revisit them.
Moreover, wedding storybooks allow you to curate your wedding day’s story and flow, making it a more personalized experience. With a printed album, you can arrange your photos in an order that makes sense to you, and you can add meaningful captions to accompany each picture. This creates a narrative that brings back the emotions and memories of your wedding day, making it easier to relive those moments.
Another critical aspect of printed wedding storybooks is their longevity. Digital photos can quickly become outdated as technology advances, making them inaccessible as time goes on. A printed album, on the other hand, is a timeless keepsake that can be passed down from generation to generation, becoming an essential family heirloom that tells your family’s story.
While digital copies of photographs are more convenient, they lack the physical and emotional impact of a printed wedding storybook. Having a printed album allows you to create a personalised narrative that can be passed down for generations to come. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and investing in a high-quality wedding storybook is an investment in reliving those memories for years to come.

As a wedding photographer, capturing the essence of a cultural wedding can be a challenge. This is especially true when it comes to photographing Asian weddings, which are filled with rich traditions and customs. I’ve had the privilege of photographing Pakistani weddings in Oslo, and each time, it’s been an incredible experience.
One of the biggest challenges I face when photographing Pakistani weddings is capturing the essence of the culture while also giving it a contemporary twist. I believe that it’s important to showcase the traditions and customs of the wedding while also putting my own unique spin on the images. I aim to create photos that are not only beautiful but also tell a story.
Another challenge that comes with photographing Pakistani weddings is ensuring that I don’t interrupt the flow of the moment. I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible while still capturing all the important moments. I want to create a natural and relaxed atmosphere for the bride, groom, and their families so that they can enjoy the day to the fullest.
Despite these challenges, photographing Pakistani weddings in Oslo has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Each wedding is unique, and I get to witness the love and joy between the couple and their families. I feel honored to be a part of such a special day and to capture memories that will last a lifetime.
To achieve the perfect shot, I work closely with the couple and their families to understand their needs and preferences. This includes learning about the customs and traditions they want to showcase and any special moments they want me to capture. By building a relationship with the couple and their families, I can create a comfortable and relaxed environment, which leads to more natural and beautiful photos.
Photographing Pakistani weddings in Oslo is a challenging yet rewarding experience. It’s an opportunity to capture the beauty of rich culture and create memories that will last a lifetime. By working closely with the couple and their families, I can create stunning images that showcase the traditions and customs of the wedding while also giving it a unique contemporary twist.

What Are the Different Asian Wedding Photography Styles?
Asian Wedding Photography Styles. Photography adds a unique dimension to your wedding, not just on the day, but for many years after the big day. These will be the only keepsake of value from your wedding. And when you look back on your wedding story book, these will be the ultimate family heirloom.
Getting the right photographer for your wedding is vitally important, and tips on choosing one can be found on the article how to book a photographer. One of the aspects I discuss in the article is finding a style that suits you. But what are the options and styles, what does it all mean. When you do your research, you will find that, us photographers use a of jargon that can be confusing and loose you. I have always felt that its my job to make your wedding planning journey as easy as possible.
I have put together a quick guide to help you find your way around styles. To find out more about my style have a read here
The styles are not strict standards but disciplines followed by wedding photographers, that shape the tone of your story in a specific way which means that you are limited to their style like it or not. My style for example is a combination of disciplines ranging from fashion, candid, reportage way…. with doing it again…. lets start the guide.
Asian Wedding Photography Styles
Traditional Asian Wedding Photography
When you flick through old wedding albums or newer wedding storybooks, they are likely to tend to include a lot of traditional shots. By which I mean they are classic posed shots of the key moments of the day; The signing of the register, the formal group shots, the Jai Mala or ring exchange, cake cutting, the viday or ruksati, shots of the cake cutting, first dance and the couple portraits and of course some very classic formal shots of the couple ( just think back to your parents pictures…)
This style puts the photographer in charge of the wedding, getting involved in guiding, directing and posing and in some cases managing the flow of the wedding. If this is your preferred style, make sure your photographer has the experience in people management and taking charge.
Photojournalistic Asian Wedding Photography

A ever growing style is Photojournalistic or reportage photography. A popular shooting style especially for capturing the unguarded relaxed moments of the day. With this style you are giving the photographer a lot more room to flex their creative story telling and capturing moments they see that flows to retell your story in a relaxed and informal approach.
A lot of creativity, experience and some serious kills is required for this style of photography. The Photojornalistic/Reportage style relies heavily on the experience of the photographer and understanding the art of photography. This will put their visual and technical skills to test, they will need to have mastered the art of quickly aiming, adjusting settings, framing, and shooting as moments unfold around them. The results will be real and natural images. But be warned if a photographer only has 1 year of experience and is self taught, and they offer this style tread carefully as their style may not have developed yet!
Cinematic Asian Wedding Photography
This is a new and developing style of wedding photography, when done right can result in awe inspiring images. Mainly reserved for stand out couples portraits, cinematic wedding photography places emphasis on the composition, lighting, and background. The couple are posed either formally or candidly, within a picturesque setting. This combined with the understanding of landscape photography in landscape photography, and some fancy post production work gives rise to some inspirational and timeless wedding photographs. An added element of this is that some of the photos will have a degree of fashion photography withing it.
However, again, if not done correctly can result in out of date “on trend styles” ( just think back to spot colour styles where an image is black & white, but on part is in colour!)
Natural Light Wedding Photography
Another skill based style, and heavily depends on the photographer knowing their craft. Natural light wedding photography is basically using natural and available light to take the picture rather than using a camera flash or artificial light sources.
For daytime and outdoor weddings, or in a wedding venue which has a lot natural daylight this is the perfect choice, The result is obviously more natural. This style choice is for the brave and a for experienced photographer who knows how to deal with shadows and allowing for low light and other extreme lighting conditions such as harsh midday light. Your photographer must be very experienced in this, again if the photographer is relativity new, then be sure they have the relevant training to provide this style. Its not as easy as it sounds.
Fine Art Wedding Photography
Fine Art Wedding photography, is a style suited for the more creative couple. You will see some creative framing, lighting and compositions. if you select this option, you will likely see things from a different perspective, you may just see elements of the story, rather than the whole picture, and relies on the viewer to fill in the gaps and see the beauty in the image rather than the full image. Don’t be surpeised to see only a hint of your wedding lengha, or just details of a shot. The emphasis on this style is the “Art” and creativity. This style is best used in conjunction with another style if you are worried about missing the key shots. Checking with your photographer they can do both styles will be invaluable.
Fashion Wedding Photography
This one is for the style conscious couple, whose key focus will be the wedding day portraits. based on the commercial shoots of fashion and bridal magazines this has crossed over from engagement photography or pre-wedding shoots. Its quite intensive, with multiple lighting setups, and loads of directions on poses and setting your outfits – its very time consuming and takes you away from the main wedding action for a while. Which means you will have to balance your schedule with the need for stylistic portraits.
The Asian wedding photography styles, you choose will determine the look, feel and ultimately your wedding story. My style, in simple terms is a combination of disciplines that is made up of my experience in photography from working for fashion magazines, newspapers and commercials clients, and over the years have combined to create a look and style which works well for all couples that provide classic, cinematic and timeless stories.

Yes, this is the Asian Wedding at Froyle Park, with a frozen fountain and a wandering peacock!
Winter weddings are amazing, what’s not amazing is the cold. February has sightly like longer days. But the weather has a different point of view. Froyle park is set in the surrey country side, close enough to London to get there, but far enough away to be considered the country.
As a venue for Asian Weddings, we are no strangers to Froyle Park, and is one of those hidden gems of the home counties and ideal for those more intimate weddings. Over the years we have been there a few times, but not during such a cold spell.
The driveway leading to the main house is short but has a big grandeur about it, leading to the fountain, this time round it was frozen and was slowly defrosting. The Asian Wedding at Froyle Park on this day was going to be unique, intimate, and low-key. The Reception was just as low-key. But elegant with it, with the most amazing wedding cake with 5 tiers of different flavors.

Fusion Wedding Photography features in Picture of the Day. A regular feature on the Asian Wedding Journal, a daily image, reflecting why i enjoy weddings so much. My remit for Asian Wedding photography its not just to focus on the Bride and Groom. I look for what the bride and groom are don’t get to see on their big day. In essence I become their eyes, their witness the re-teller of their wedding day story.
Once I have captured what I feel tells enough of the story of the main event. I wander off looking for quirky moments that will add depth to their wedding memories. Things that will make them smile, laugh and sometimes cry, but always to ensure they appreciate their wedding.
This image is an iconic fun shot. The Groom and groomsmen were waiting out side the the Criterion restaurant and looking bored. SO i lined them up and said jump. and they did. Took three or three attempt’s but we got there. I just love the bemused look in the bystanders face.
This was taken in the morning of a Tamil / English wedding. This is what makes Fusion Wedding Photography fun. The different cultures coming together and sharing huge moments.

The Hilton Syon Park host to a amazing Hindu wedding.

Leena and Hamir’s Asian wedding journey with me started around 6 months before the wedding with an engagement shoot in the heart of London. Fast forward one Engagement shoot, three planning sessions later we are at The Hilton Syon Park.
An early start, and lots of moments to capture, the morning atmosphere was relaxed. Full of joy and anticipation of the day ahead, just as Leena & Hamir had discussed. The Hindu ceremony was lively and full of charm. The Priest while reading in Sanskrit also translated the ceremony in English, so everyone could understand.
The Hilton Syon Park, is nestled in the grounds of Syon House just slight west of Chiswick. Syon House lends it self well as a eye catching backdrop for for some emotive portraits. Both on site and off site, and if you time it properly you may be able to get on the sandy beach. The evening reception was electric and contrasted the traditional ceremony of the morning, with a Disney style theme, and the Engagement shoot was shown as a slide show just before they made their entrance into the reception.

How much does Asian Wedding Photography Cost in UK? you will never get a straight answer to this, it should be simple but the cost of the photographer for your wedding well depends on you too. As with all great things, and weddings, in particular, there is a price for everything, some items are easily priced and you can see how the pricing is done. A venue, for example, you are hiring a physical building for the duration of your wedding. With other items, it’s a little tricky to establish what are you actually paying for.
Wedding photography, it seems is one of those items that can cause some confusion when it comes to cost and how costs are determined. There are many factors that can affect wedding photography prices, but as suggested key factor in that will be you.
What do you want?
First things first. There is no such thing as average price/cost of a wedding photographer. every business has its own business model. Some photographers operate from studio space, some operate from home, this will be reflected in the cost ( to see a full breakdown of how we calculate cost see have a read of our costs page). The number of events you are having, how many wedding storybooks or prints you would like and how many photographers you want will impact the cost. For some photographers, they will factor in hours of coverage as part of the price ( my fees are 99% unlimited coverage per event).
So you can see how the elements build the cost of the wedding photography fee. So far its been a focus on the fixed costs, this is where the difference of cost takes shape across the wedding photography industry and secondly where confusion can start when comparing photographers prices alone. The core cost of wedding photography is actually the photography or rather the creation of the photograph and who is behind the lens telling the story. It’s about the creativity, about who you trust and whose style you like, and their experience in the field, because that’s what you are actually paying for. You are paying a photographer to document your wedding to capture the moments, the emotions and atmosphere of the day. This is a unique skill set that takes time and experience to gain, and prices often reflect that.
Now if you are just looking at the price as an indicator let say two photographers provide you with two costs, one is £550 the other is £1450 – what is your first instinct? how are you comparing the photographers – the commodities ( images on usb, prints, albums) or the trust, value and experience they bring to your wedding.
How much will you value the memories?
The third and final element of the costing or how much you should pay depends on you and what experience you get out of it. If you are looking a pragmatic, utilitarian approach for your wedding and just need a person to take a few snaps, group shots and a couple of portraits then maybe consider allocating a lower budget for the service or even get some friends to do it. However, if your view on the Weddings photos is more about the emotional connections, the moments and the story told by an experienced wedding photographer and storyteller, who will curate a bespoke wedding storybook then consider allocating a higher spend in relation to your overall wedding budget.
Pricing is where photographers set themselves apart from each other, the more experience and more quality of service you demand a higher price. You really can’t match a new photographer with 2 weddings under their belt to a seasoned and experienced photographer who has covered 200+ weddings. This is where you make the decision on how much you should pay, this is driven by the personal value of those wedding memories.
As you can see its not easy by any means on working out costs, but two simple rules and the above advice should steer you in the right direction. Rule 1, Spend what you can afford. Rule 2, allocate around 10-15% of your wedding budget to the photography – as this will be one of two things from your wedding you keep forever as family heirlooms the other being your love.

The Guru Nanak Gurdwara Hosts Beautiful Sikh Wedding in Bedford. One of the countries hidden gems, this Gudwara is just awe inspiring. The ornate hand crafted stone and marble building hosts many a Sikh Wedding.
The wedding started very early, well for the groom it did, leaving Manchester around 5pm to get to Bedford for 10am. Sukhi. No rest for the bride either she was up and busy at 5am too! The Milni ( Gathering and meeting of the families) happened out side on a sunny morning. The purpose of the Milni is for blessing for the day and also to formally introduce the two families to each other. It starts with the parents, then siblings, cousins and then uncles. But we have seen Milinis that had a list of 30 from each side, luckily not this one.
The ceremony, was elegant and a little emotional at times, but was quite fluid and fast. The Anand kāraj, was followed by a Civil Ceremony. The on to the reception, a short drive away nestled in the Bedfordshire country side. The reception was what you expected, the bride and groom had a dress change, then joined the guests for drinks, a bit of cake and an the opening of dance floor. Hope you enjoy this little story of the Sikh Wedding in Bedford.
