What we do
Four ways we cover a wedding.
01Destination
Your celebration does not stop at London's edge. Same crew, same knowledge of your tradition, different postcode.

Pre-wedding
A couple of unhurried hours, no schedule and no three hundred guests, which is exactly why the pictures look like you.

03Films
A film is the only way you will ever hear it back. Your vows, your mother's voice, the second your partner first saw you.

04Photography
Photography preserves the stillness, the expressions, the details, the glances that happen in seconds and are gone.

The ceremonies
Six traditions.One crew that knows them.
Anyone can point a camera at a wedding. Knowing that the thaali goes on before sunrise, or that you do not walk in front of the Guru Granth Sahib, is what twenty-five years buys.
- Muslimنکاح
Nikkah
The quietest three minutes of the whole day.
We shoot the Nikkah on long lenses from the back of the room. No flash, no repositioning, nobody asked to say it again for the camera. The qubool hai happens once.
See Nikkah work - Sikhਅਨੰਦ ਕਾਰਜ
Anand Karaj
Four laavan. Four passes. One chance each.
We know where to stand in a Gurdwara, when to sit, and which angle keeps the Guru Granth Sahib respected in frame. Two operators, so no lavaan is covered from only one side.
See Anand Karaj work - Hinduविवाह
Vivaah Sanskar
Seven steps, and the light keeps changing.
Mandap fires, coloured drapes and a five-hour ceremony are the hardest lighting problem in wedding work. We light for it rather than fight it.

Gaye Holud
Turmeric, marigolds, and total chaos.
The best frames of a Bengali wedding are almost never of the couple. They are of the aunts. We staff Holud like a documentary shoot, not a portrait session.
See Gaye Holud work - Tamilதிருமணம்
Thirumanam
The thaali goes on before most crews are set up.
Muhurtham timings are fixed by the almanac, often before sunrise. We arrive on the ceremony's clock, not the venue's.

The English Wedding
And when two families do it twice.
Half of what we shoot now is a fusion, a Nikkah on Friday and a barn in the Cotswolds on Sunday. One team, one grade, one film across both.

Recent films.
Every wedding below was shot, cut and graded in house. No sub-contracted second shooters, no stock transitions, no music you have heard on forty other films.
The studio
I started with one cameraand my cousin’s mehndi.
That was 2000, in a hall in Southall, on tape. I did not know then that I would spend the next quarter of a century in other people’s most important rooms, but I learned quickly that the job is not photography. The job is knowing, without being told, that the bride’s father is about to break, and being twelve feet away with the right lens on.
We are still a small studio. I still shoot. Every film that leaves here is graded on the same monitor it has been graded on for years, because a wedding film should look like it belongs to a family, not to a trend.
“Nine thousand seven hundred weddings. I have cried at more of them than I will admit to.”
Twenty-five years of venues and caterers

“We had an amazing experience working with Memory Filming. The team at our event was highly professional, polite, and incredibly cooperative, guiding us every step of the way. They were prompt and responsive to all our messages and emails, both before and after the event. All deliverables were provided even before the promised time, exceeding our expectations. Without a doubt, we’ll be booking Memory Filming for all of our future events!”
