Arvinder and Raj’s Sikh wedding took place in Blackpool (UK) in July. Blackpool is a typical UK coastal town riddled with amusements centers and fun fairs. It is also the UK capital for Stag and Hen Nights.
This is the second of the 3 days we covered for this wedding. See the photos of Mayian & Choora ceremonies the night before.

I must have the best job in the world! I love every moment of it! In what other profession do you get to see the world and meet people from all walks of life and witness the most incredible moments?
When Nic contacted me to do their engagement shoot in Paris, how could I resist? Nic is a true romantic! He had planned to asked Derryn for her hand in Paris and then for me to do their E-sessions the next day. Nic must have been super confident that Derryn would say yes, because all these plans were made about 4 months before the pre-wedding shoot.
It all worked out as planned! For Derryn, it was a total surprise when Nic went down on one knee at the Palace of Versailles. And when I met up with them the next day, they were still in seventh heaven.

Many of you probably don’t know that ZaraZoo started out covering Asian weddings in London. And even though we are based in South Africa, this year we have shot no fewer than 15 Hindu, Sikh and Muslim weddings in the UK!
For Arvinder and Raj’s wedding, we traveled all the way up to Blackpool. This post covers some of the pre-wedding ceremonies, the Mayian, Vatna, Choora bangles and Jaggo. Still to come over the next week will be Arivinder & Raj’s Sikh wedding as well as their civil wedding at the magnificent Knowsley Hall!
I came to know of Arvinder & Raj’s wedding through my good friend Aziz of Aira Photography – Thanks Aziz!

I am nearing the end of my visit to Europe and now it is time to catch up with blog posts. Plenty to follow over the next 2 weeks. (see list at bottom of post)
A good number of ZaraZoo clients live in the UK full time. Most of these expats however return home to South Africa to tie the knot.
Sue and Rowland, originally from SA, now lives in London. We will cover their wedding in October at Vrede en Lust near Stellenbosch – it will be an all out lavish affair coordinated by The Aleit Group!
We met up at the South Bank of the Thames for a walk-around and got some awesome shots with icons like Big Ben and the London Eye in the background.

Robyn & Roirdyn loves our work, but we were already booked for their wedding date! What a loss! …because these two were great sports when we did a pre-wedding shoot with them in Cape Town.
Keep your eye on the blog over the next few days, we have a lot to follow; a few e-sessions in London and Paris as well as weddings in Blackpool, London, Liverpool and Cotswold! Enjoy!
