Our experts are a vital part of this process, as they understand the traditions, food, and attire included in Muslim weddings and ensure that each is recorded accurately.

An integral element of a wedding photography shoot is our customer’s wishes and we prioritize them from the moment that they contact us. This ensures that every detail that is captured in photos and videos is in sync with what the customer wants, and importantly nothing is overlooked. We also ensure that the many different traditions that are part of a Muslim wedding are discussed in advance, and that we have the right cameras and lighting to capture high quality footage.
A Muslim wedding has at its core the Nikah ceremony, during which the contract that binds the groom and bride in matrimony is signed. The person officiating also reads from the Quran during the ceremony, and often the bride and groom say their vows. As Islam is practiced in many countries, local traditions are part of a wedding and often take place over several days. One such unique tradition is the Manjha ceremony that involves the smearing of turmeric paste on the body. We have the tools and gear to capture footage of this pre-wedding ceremony and preserve its glorious colors.
Muslim wedding traditions in India and its surrounding countries include the Mehendi ceremony. This ceremony usually takes place a day before the wedding, and during it, a paste of henna is used to create elaborate designs on hands, feet, and various parts of the body. As this ceremony is specifically for women, we have the appropriate staff available who are experts at recording henna designs while remaining observant of Muslim traditions.
We understand that the brides and grooms in Muslim weddings wear several colors that have an auspicious meaning. White wedding dresses are favorites among Muslim brides hailing from the Middle East region while red sarees, ghagra choli, or lehengas are preferred by brides from the Indian subcontinent. So we go the extra mile to understand the dress code and food that is part of the wedding feast. Then we use special gear and lighting to capture color accurately and ensure that intricate details on clothes do not get lost in the background. Importantly, as we capture footage of a wedding we also adhere to the dress code
Weddings are occasions with deep personal significance and are replete with Muslim traditions that are hundreds of years old. At Shaadi Capture we have the skills and tools to ensure that the traditions of each wedding are recorded in unique photos and videos that keep them fresh forever.
