Oshwal Centre Wedding Photographer
Amrita and Karan got married at the lovely Oshwal Centre wedding venue in Potters Bar in March 2025 and their wedding was a proper celebration. Their wedding was the very first Hindu wedding I got to photograph, and I was over the moon; it was also the first wedding of my 2025 season.
The day began with the bride and groom getting ready at the venue, followed by the Milni Ceremony and the main ceremony, which consisted of several parts.
I loved everyone’s outfits, the colours and ornaments they were wearing. The decor of the venue was incredible, and I also enjoyed the tasty food.
20 Wedding Photographs I Took at Oshwal Centre
Oshwal Centre - A Great Venue for Weddings
Are you looking for a photographer who knows and loves Oshwal Centre to photograph your wedding? I’d love to hear from you.
The Oshwal Centre, situated in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, is the central hub of the Oshwal Association of the U.K. (OAUK), the largest Jain organisation in the country, established in 1968. Set within over 70 acres of picturesque countryside, Oshwal Centre is renowned for its serene environment and cultural significance. The Centre boasts two large halls, each accommodating up to 500 wedding guests, with advanced lighting and sound systems, plasma screens, and Wi-Fi access. At the heart of the Centre lies the Derasar, the first Shikarband Jain Temple in Europe, surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens. I loved the traditional look of the temple at Oshwal Centre and the ornate character of the main hall where Amrita and Karan’s wedding took place.
Photography at Oshwal Centre
I don’t add any travel costs for weddings I photograph at the Oshwal Centre.
Whether you are planning a more intimate or a lavish wedding, Oshwal Centre is a great choice. There are two getting-ready rooms at the venue so brides and grooms can prepare side by side for their big day. I always like this because it means I get to photograph both preparations without having to travel with my cameras from venue to venue. The main hall is fantastic and can be decorated according to your preferences, and I particularly like the ceremony square as it provides nice framing and light for beautifully composed photos. Oshwal Centre is a paradise for couple time photos. The charming outdoor setting of the venue provides a great backdrop for some lovely portraits, but my favourite of all areas at the Oshwal Centre is the Derasar temple. It is historic, grand and picturesque and is the perfect place for photography.
I truly enjoyed photographing Amrita and Karan’s wedding at the Oshwal Centre. If you are looking for a photographer with a modern approach, who doesn’t pose people but instead tells the real story of your big day through his images, then please get in touch, I’d love to be a part of your wedding.
Ruth & Dan - Bury Court Barn Wedding
Ruth and Dan’s Bury Court Barn Wedding
Ruth and Dan got married at the lovely Bury Court Barn 2 days before my birthday in August this year and what a wedding it was! I loved every part of it from the beginning until the end. The venue was beautiful, the weather was definitely on our side and everyone at the wedding - guests, staff and suppliers were so friendly and nice.
Dan and Ruth were the loveliest couple and it was great to get to know some of their relatives and friends. It was great talking to Tariq, the jiu-jitsu black belt (who doesn’t tell anyone about it!), Nick, Joe, Billy, Ruth’s cousin from Ireland, Tommy with his wild moves and everyone else!
A great big thank you to my friend and mentor - Olly Knight for having me photograph this wedding alongside him.

Cannelle and Kevin - Chateau De Tredion Wedding
Chateau De Tredion Wedding - Cannelle and Kevin
A silly early start after 2 hours of sleep. That’s how the trip started. Yes, I still get so excited before weddings that I can barely sleep the night before.
The drive to the airport was longer than the flight. Gatwick to Nantes only took an hour or so. At the airport, we were greeted by the most lovely people - Jean-Pierre and Emelyne, dad and sister of the groom. They were the nicest hosts we could’ve ever asked for. We stayed at their house the night before the wedding and the night after the wedding and we watched the Euros 2024 final with them. It was so nice of Jean-Pierre, Emelyne and Katy not to cheer for Spain during the heart-breaking match.
Photographing the Wedding
We got to the venue at 10, 4 hours before the ceremony so we could photograph plenty of the bridal and groom prep and take some images of the venue. I fell in love with the Chateau from the moment I saw it. Such a magnificent venue.
Canelle and Kevin’s wedding was really nice to photograph. There were countless moments of connection, big hugs and lots of kisses.
In terms of timing, it was definitely the longest wedding I’ve photographed so far. We started photographing at 10:30 and finished at 02:30 am.
Such a pleasure to photograph this wedding alongside Olly Knight - my mentor and friend.

After the Wedding
The day after the wedding all guests returned to the Chateau for a traditional French lunch - galettes and cider.

Brooke and Ross - The Ravenswood Wedding
Brooke and Ross got married in Feb at the gorgeous Ravenswood venue in Sussex. The weather was far from perfect and even though it rained the whole day it didn’t affect the great atmosphere of the day in the slightest. We managed to pop out briefly for some couple-time photos and enjoyed the cosy venue for the rest of the day. Full of emotion, laughter and tears, the speeches were my favourite part of their big day.
Such a pleasure to photograph this wedding alongside Olly Knight - my mentor and friend.

Katy and Dhanesh’s Intimate London Wedding
Long shots do pay off sometimes.
A day before Dhanesh was going to propose to Katy he contacted me to check if I was available to photograph their big moment and I’m so glad I did it. Photographing their proposal led to me being their wedding photographer only 6 weeks later.
They had a lovely, intimate wedding, and it all started at Primrose Hill in London, where he proposed. We then tubed it to the hotel where they were getting ready before heading off to Marylebone Old Town Hall in London. We then wandered at Regents park (if I remember right!) and had a lovely meal at the Cinnamon Club.
It was a small, intimate wedding, with only 11 guests, which made me and the lovely videographers - Naomi and James, feel like we were part of the family.
