Nikkah & Muslim Weddings
Photography or film — one service per booking, both done fluently.
The nikkah is spare and profound: the ijab and qubul spoken, the mehr agreed, the nikkahnama signed, a dua closing the contract — sometimes in a mosque, sometimes in a decorated living room. I photographed Jaslyn & Eduardo's nikkah and Nausheen & Sohail's ceremony, and I know the etiquette that comes with the work: modest positioning, awareness of gender-separated spaces, and quiet during the khutbah. The walima brings the celebration; the nikkah itself deserves reverence, and my coverage respects the difference.

Questions
Can you work in gender-separated spaces?
Yes — I plan coverage around the separation honestly rather than pretending it isn't there. For fully separated events, I focus my coverage where I'm permitted and coordinate timing so nothing signed or spoken goes unrecorded.
Do you photograph in mosques?
With the imam's permission and the house rules respected — positioning agreed in advance, no flash during the khutbah, shoes off, and modest conduct throughout. The nikkahnama signing is usually the frame families treasure most.
Is the walima covered separately?
Usually, yes — the nikkah and walima often fall on different days, so each books as its own block. Plenty of couples put photography on the nikkah and film on the walima; one service per booking still applies to each.
