Muslim weddings
Nikkah, Mehndi, Baraat, filmed with respect.
From the henna night to the Walima, we cover the whole run of it, with a crew that already knows the order of service.
The whole journey, not just the contract
A Muslim wedding is rarely one day. It is a week, Mehndi, Mayoun, Baraat, Nikkah, Walima, and the film only works if all of it is covered by people who know what each part is for.
We have filmed Muslim weddings across Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Arab, Turkish and Indian Muslim families, and the differences between them matter. We do not arrive assuming your wedding looks like the last one. We ask what your family does, and we plan the coverage around that answer.
The Nikkah itself is short and quiet, the Ijab-Qabul is over in seconds and cannot be repeated. Everything else is scale and celebration. Those two things need completely different crews, positions and lenses, on the same weekend.
And we clear the mosque's rules before the day rather than at the door, because prayer-space policy varies enormously and finding out on the morning is how moments get lost.
What we cover
Four events, two to four days, one film.
- 01
Mehndi
Henna, music and the loudest night of the week. Shot as a celebration rather than a portrait session, the colour and the aunts are the point.
- 02
Mayoun
Quieter, at home, turmeric and blessings from the elders. The intimate one, and usually the most tender footage of the whole week.
- 03
Baraat
The groom's procession and the welcome at the door. One operator moving with the arrival, one already holding the greeting.
- 04
The Nikkah
The contract. Long lenses from the back of the room, no flash, nothing repositioned, and nobody asked to say the qubool hai again.
- 05
Arsi Mushaf & Rukhsati
The mirror, the first look as husband and wife, and the departure, the most emotionally exposed minutes of the day, covered at distance.
- 06
Walima
The reception the groom's family hosts. Two to four hundred guests, speeches, and the public announcement of the marriage.
Coverage
How many events, and how many rooms need a camera at the same time.
Nikkah only
- One day
- One to two crew
- Nikkah and the immediate celebration
- Film and stills available separately or together
Nikkah & Walima
- One to two days
- Two crew
- Both ceremonies, whether same night or split
- One film across both
The full week
- Two to four days
- Two to three crew
- Mehndi, Mayoun, Baraat, Nikkah and Walima
- Comprehensive film, typically 20–25 minutes
Parallel events genuinely need parallel crews, a bride's and groom's Mehndi on the same evening cannot be covered by one team.
We don't publish prices, because no two of these weddings are the same. Tell us the date, the venue and how many events you are running, and we will send an itemised quote with nothing to decode.
Twenty-five years in the room
Why Muslim families book us
Twenty-five years, and somewhere past our five thousandth of these.
We know the Wali speaks
The offer comes from the bride's guardian and the acceptance from the groom. There are no exchanged vows. Knowing which face the binding moment is coming from is the difference between catching it and filming the wrong side of the room.
We clear the mosque first
Photography policy inside a prayer space varies from one mosque to the next, flash, positioning, whether the Nikkah can be filmed at all. We agree it in advance, in writing where we can.
We respect the separation
Where men and women are seated separately we staff and position for it, so both sides are covered properly without anyone having to break the arrangement for a camera.
Questions
Before you ask.
Can you film inside our mosque?
Usually, but it depends entirely on the mosque, some allow full coverage, some restrict flash or positioning, some ask that the prayer space isn't filmed. We contact yours in advance and plan the coverage around what they permit, so there are no surprises on the day.
We have events across several days and venues. Is that a problem?
It is the norm for the Muslim weddings we film, and the coverage is built for it. Multi-day, multi-venue is planned in advance, including how equipment and crew move between them without losing time.
How many events should we have covered?
Mehndi, Baraat, Nikkah and Walima is the full picture. Plenty of couples cut the Mehndi if it is close family only, or compress events into a weekend. We will tell you honestly what would and wouldn't be missed.
Do you actually know the Nikkah, or just weddings generally?
Specifically. We know the Ijab-Qabul is the binding moment and not something you can ask for again, we know the Wali's and the witnesses' roles, and we know the Nikahnama signing matters to the family as much as the words do.
Some of our guests would rather not be filmed.
That is common and completely fine. Tell us and we weight the coverage toward the couple and immediate family. We would rather know beforehand than make someone uncomfortable on the day.
How long is the finished film?
Around twenty to twenty-five minutes for a full multi-day wedding, comprehensive without being something you never rewatch. A single-day Nikkah is shorter.
