Wedding Celebration Near Andover

This was a brilliant day from start to finish. A Muslim celebration with its own pace and structure, very different from the traditional British wedding format, and full of energy from the moment I arrived. Family and friends were at the centre of everything, which created a constant flow of moments to photograph.

Family Groups and a Busy Stage

A stage had been set up for the entire celebration and it became the main point for family and group photos. It was busy, lively and used throughout the day. I included only a small selection here so the blog stays balanced, but it was one of the many distinctive parts of the event.

A Short Portrait Session Before the Ceremony

Before the couple met on the stage for the ceremony, Hamida, Sahid, and I went away for a quick couple portrait session. We jumped into the green Maserati SUV the groom party arrived with, found a beautiful and quiet spot and made the most of the time. It turned into a calm twenty minute break for them before everything started.

A Fast Moving Celebration

For the entire duration of the day things moved quickly and kept me on my toes. I switched between natural light outdoors and a mix of on camera and off camera flash for the stage and private bridal room. The celebration ended with their cake cut, and instead of a classic exit, the confetti came right at that moment. It made a great ending to the gallery.
