A Thoughtful Guide to Planning Your Wedding

Practical considerations, cultural awareness, and real-world insight — from years of documenting Asian and fusion weddings.

Planning a wedding often comes with a lot of advice — not all of it relevant.

This guide was created to help couples navigate the realities of culturally rich weddings, where tradition, timing, family dynamics and multiple events all play a role.

It’s not about trends or checklists — but about making informed decisions that support the flow of your day.

Who This Guide Is For

This guide is designed for couples who value:

– Cultural understanding and respect
– Thoughtful planning over rushing
– Natural, documentary-led photography
– Weddings shaped by people, not schedules

Whether you’re planning a traditional celebration, a fusion wedding, or multiple days of events, this guide is intended to support you early in the process.

No spam. Just one helpful guide.

This guide reflects how I approach weddings — quietly, thoughtfully, and with an understanding that no two celebrations are the same.

If, after reading, you feel the approach aligns with how you’d like your wedding documented, you’re welcome to get in touch when the time feels right right here. Contact Monir

Asian weddings are layered, fast-moving and deeply meaningful. They require more than technical skill — they demand awareness, experience and an instinctive understanding of tradition, family and flow.

For over a decade, I’ve worked closely with couples and families across the UK, documenting weddings with a calm presence and an unobtrusive approach.

Thank you sooo much! The pictures are fantastic! You truly captured all the moments of the day! Just how I wanted! Zain and I are so pleased with the albums! We still laugh about the amount of fun we had taking photos on our wedding!

A Selection of Recent Asian Weddings

Each wedding featured is a complete story — photographed with intention, consistency and respect for the people at its heart.

It was a pleasure having Monir take our photos for what was one of the most important days of our lives. He was very relaxed, friendly and always there to capture the important (and humourous) shots.

Investment & Availability

Asian weddings vary greatly in scale and structure. Coverage is tailored based on the number of events, days and level of service required.

Most couples invest between £1,900 – £6,000 for comprehensive multi-day coverage, refined post-production and optional heirloom wedding books. 

To maintain quality and focus, I accpet a  limited number of weddings each year.
