I recently had the pleasure of photographing Dipali and Nikul’s wedding at the Hare Krishna Mandir in Watford. Watford mandir is a special place for me as it’s a place I try to come to on a regular basis and it’s also where I photographed my 1st wedding as an assistant with one of the top asian photographers in the UK.

Anyway, back to Dipali and Nikul…I grew up with Nikul as he lived around the corner from my home, our families are very close and when I heard that Nikul was getting married, I was over the moon, and when Dipali and Nikul asked me to photograph their wedding, I was thrilled. On the 19th of August, Dipali and Nikul tied the knot and below are a few of the moments captured.

I wish you all the best for the future – thank you to both families for making me feel so welcomed through out the various wedding events. Enjoy the memories ☺

A big Thank You to JHoque Photography and Vinay Dave Photography for assisting during the Pre-Wedding events.

Fresh from picking up their wedding rings on a (rare) hot sunny day in London, Hina and Jay met up with me near Buckingham palace for their Pre-Wedding shoot. I was hoping the Queen would invite us in for tea, but alas, she didn’t! Not a loss as it gave me a lot of time to photograph Hina and Jay…I have to say, they were a fab couple to capture and I thoroughly enjoyed their company. Below are a few moments captured of the happy couple, see you in August for the wedding ☺
