I have something a bit different for you today in the form of this Shia Muslim Wedding which has been sent into me by Shah from S Romel Photography who specialises in Asian Wedding photography. The lovely couple are Anikka and Qussay who were married in the Husseini Mosque in Middlesex. I love featuring weddings from different faiths as they each have so many different traditions, I feel that I learn something new every time I feature one. This wedding is no exception, I hope you love it as much as I do.
Anikka got in touch with me couple of months before her big day. I have never covered a Shia wedding before so I jumped on board at the first chance. What I didn’t know was that it was a Dawhoodi Bohra wedding. Dawoodi Bohras are a small sect of Shia Muslims that pay a lot of emphasis on universal education and equality.
The wedding took place at the beautiful Husseini Mosque in Middlesex. It was an awesome day and a great cultural experience for me overall. In between the rituals and ceremony – I had a few minutes alone with the couple. We went for a short break, away from the guests and managed to explore the mosque and the surroundings. These two were brilliant.

These photographs are absolutely stunning.
This was a BIG surprise for me. I have never witnessed a Shia Muslim wedding before, so seeing this as the first post on your fabulous blog couldn’t help but getting me curious. Thanks for sharing this cultural experience. I’m sure that it must have been a grand experience for the photographer…!
So many beautiful, honest moments captured in this series. It’s always interesting seeing how different cultures celebrate marriage and it’s clear that this muslim ceremony has been very respectfully documented.
Gorgeous wedding.. lovely colours. Everyone looks so happy :)
Congrats xoxo
