Professional Nikah Photography in Lahore by Nadeem Khawar

For premium dates during wedding season (typically October-April), we recommend booking at least 6-8 months in advance. Nadeem Khawar's schedule fills quickly, especially for weekends and Islamic holidays when multiple Nikah ceremonies often occur. However, we understand that some Nikahs are planned with shorter notice, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings when possible. The booking process begins with a consultation (in-person or virtual) where we discuss your venue, timeline, family traditions, and specific photography needs. After this, we require a 30% deposit to secure your date in our calendar. The remaining balance is due one week before your Nikah ceremony. Early booking provides several advantages: you secure your preferred date, have more time for pre-wedding consultations, and can potentially schedule engagement or Mehndi photography sessions as well. We also offer better pricing options for clients who book well in advance compared to last-minute requests. For off-season dates (May-September), 3-4 months' notice is usually sufficient. However, we've found that even in slower months, premium photographers like Nadeem Khawar still get booked several months ahead, so we encourage clients not to wait too long to make their decision.

Our basic Nikah photography package is designed to beautifully document your ceremony while remaining affordable. It includes 4 hours of continuous coverage by Nadeem Khawar himself (not an associate photographer), which typically covers from the groom's arrival through the formal ceremony and family portraits. You'll receive approximately 100-150 professionally edited high-resolution digital images, delivered via a private online gallery where you can download, share, and optionally order prints. The images are fully edited with color correction, exposure adjustments, and basic retouching while maintaining natural authenticity. The package includes: Pre-event consultation to plan shot list and timeline Discreet coverage of all key ceremony moments Traditional posed portraits of the couple and families Candid shots of guests and celebrations Online gallery with download access for 6 months Social media-friendly sized images Basic image retouching (blemish removal, etc.) Travel within Lahore city limits is included, with nominal charges for venues outside main city areas. While this is our most economical package, it still maintains the same high quality standards as our premium offerings, just with fewer hours and deliverables.

Yes, we offer professional Nikah videography services that perfectly complement our photography packages. Our videography captures the moving images and sounds of your sacred ceremony - the recitation of the Khutbah, the emotional vows, and the joyful celebrations that photos alone can't fully convey. We provide several videography options: Documentary Style: A cinematic record of the entire ceremony Highlight Films: 3-5 minute beautifully edited recap videos Full Ceremony Coverage: Multi-camera recording of the complete event Our videographers work in seamless coordination with our photographers to ensure both media types are captured without interfering with each other or the ceremony. We use high-quality DSLR and mirrorless cameras with professional audio equipment to capture clear sound of the Imam's recitation and vows. The editing process for videos includes color grading, audio enhancement, and careful selection of the most meaningful moments. We can incorporate Islamic nasheeds or licensed music according to your preferences. Video packages start at Rs. 50,000 and can be bundled with photography for discounted rates.

Mosque photography requires special expertise and respect for Islamic guidelines. Nadeem Khawar has extensive experience working within mosque environments and knows how to capture beautiful images while fully complying with all restrictions. We always: Obtain prior permission from mosque administration Use silent shutter cameras to avoid disruption Position ourselves in approved areas only Never photograph during actual prayer times Respect all gender segregation guidelines Use long lenses to capture moments from a distance For the Nikah ceremony itself, we focus on tasteful angles that capture the significance without being intrusive. We know exactly when to photograph (during the Khutbah, signing, etc.) and when to pause (during prayers). Our discreet equipment and professional demeanor ensure we never distract from the sacred nature of the ceremony. We also consult with the couple beforehand to understand which family members will be present in different areas of the mosque, allowing us to plan our coverage accordingly. Many mosques in Lahore are familiar with our work and trust our respectful approach to Islamic event photography.

Absolutely! Lahore is home to diverse Muslim communities, each with their own beautiful Nikah traditions. We make it a priority to learn about and document your family's specific customs. Some traditions we commonly capture: Punjabi cultural rituals like Jaimala exchange Sindhi customs such as traditional attire details Muhajir family traditions Special dua or prayer ceremonies Unique mehndi application customs Family heirlooms or ceremonial items During our pre-event consultation, we'll discuss all the unique elements of your ceremony so nothing is missed. We've photographed Nikahs incorporating Turkish, Arab, and Central Asian traditions as well. If you have particular cultural elements that are important to document, we'll make sure they're highlighted in your photo collection. We also accommodate special requests like photographing with certain family members first, focusing on particular ceremonial objects, or capturing specific moments from certain angles. Our goal is to create images that reflect your family's unique identity and traditions.

We have a comprehensive backup system to ensure your Nikah is covered regardless of circumstances. First, Nadeem Khawar maintains a strict health protocol to minimize illness risks. However, in the extremely rare case he cannot attend: You would be immediately notified A pre-arranged associate photographer of equal skill would cover Nadeem would personally handle all editing We offer a partial refund as compensation All our associate photographers are personally trained by Nadeem and follow the same shooting style and standards. They use identical equipment and have access to the shot list from your consultation. We've never missed covering a booked event, but our backup system provides complete peace of mind. For absolute assurance, we recommend booking our two-photographer package where a primary and secondary photographer attend together. This provides redundancy plus more comprehensive coverage from multiple angles.
