Wedding Photography at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in London
Sikh Wedding Photography in London at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara
Following a stunning few days for Mandev and Sasha's incredible Civil wedding ceremony at The Dairy in Waddesdon Manor and their amazingly colourful Sangeet and Mehndi at the Montcalm in London, the Sikh wedding ceremony took place on another beautifully sunny day in London at the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in Southall.
The day began with the couple getting ready at their family homes and Sasha was helped by her sister, mother and lovely grandmother. Mandev's family helped him with a beautiful turban tying ceremony at home before they both made their way to the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara for their Sikh Wedding ceremony.
Karishma Manwani from 'Wed Me In' planned the day to perfection and the day flowed really well. David Garcia at Zenith Cinematography provided videography and it is always great to work with suppliers that you get on so well with. The talented Sarah Pipkin helped out as my second photographer.
Here are a few images from this beautiful Sikh wedding at Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara in Southall London.
