Female Wedding Photographer for Mehndi and Nikah in Leicester
H. wanted a female wedding photographer for both her Mehndi and Muslim wedding day, so we started with a pre-wedding shoot to get comfortable working together. We got on really well straight away, so by the time I photographed her Mehndi party and the wedding, it felt as if we’d already been friends a long time.
On the wedding day, I was with the bride as she got ready, and accompanied her to the mosque in Leicester. I stayed with the women while the nikah contract was signed, taking photos that I later provided in a separate, password-protected gallery to respect the women’s privacy.
Afterwards, we went around the City Rooms to take some couple photos. The bride’s red sari stood out beautifully against the red and white doors and walls, making for striking, timeless images. I stayed with them until the rukhsati, capturing all the emotions of the farewell. Here, I’m sharing just a selection of my favourites—not the full wedding gallery.
I can honestly not praise Alix enough. She made me feel calm and collected on my wedding day and I not only think of her as an outstanding photographer but think of her as a lifelong friend. I still get complimented on my wedding photos till this day! Alix was always there in the background, capturing moments that I look back on now and they make me cry and smile all at once. From start to finish Alix was an absolute gem! We would both like to thank you for not only being such a great photographer but also being there throughout the whole wedding process and making it that little bit more special x
Beyond the wedding, we stayed in touch—I was invited to her baby shower, visited her after the birth of her first son, and recently met her second son too!
