Your muslim weddings photographed and filmed with care

Muslim weddings share a common heart, the nikah, but the celebrations around it look very different from family to family. An Arab wedding may open with a zaffa of drums and dancing, a Turkish family may hold a henna night, a Somali, Nigerian or Malaysian wedding brings its own music and dress, and many couples, including converts, blend traditions of their own. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers plan coverage around how your family celebrates, from the nikah to the walima.

We are careful with religious and family preferences. If the nikah takes place in a masjid, we follow its guidelines on dress, shoes and where we can stand, and we confirm with the imam whether any part should not be photographed or filmed. If your events are gender-segregated, if some guests prefer not to be photographed, or if the bride will only be photographed without hijab in a women-only setting, tell us early and we will plan coverage and staffing that respects those wishes.

Our prices are listed openly and are the same for every family, with no quotes to negotiate: photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour, and videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour. Each event has a two-hour minimum, and you can book and pay online. MacroSnaps is part of MacroHype LLC, working with clients since 2011, and is insured through State Farm, with certificates of insurance for masjids, halls and hotels.

What we capture

Key moments of a muslim wedding

Henna night

The bride's henna, the music and dancing with women of both families, and the traditional dress of a kına gecesi, leila el henna or mehndi, covered as your family prefers.

Nikah

The khutbah, the ijab and qabul, the witnesses, the signing of the marriage contract and the dua, photographed quietly from positions agreed with your imam.

Mahr presentation

Where your family includes it, the presentation of the mahr, whether jewelry, a Quran or another gift, photographed as a detail and as a moment.

Zaffa or grand entrance

The couple's procession into the hall with drums, singers, dancers or a dabke line, one of the loudest and happiest moments of an Arab wedding, and well suited to video.

Couple on the stage

The couple seated together on the kosha or stage, with family members joining them for photos throughout the evening.

Family portraits

Organized group photos with both families, arranged in combinations that respect any preferences about mixed or separate groups.

Walima

The wedding feast, often hosted by the groom's family, with the couple's entrance, the meal, speeches and a more relaxed atmosphere.

Outfits and details

The bridal gown or traditional dress, jewelry, the hijab and styling, the groom's attire, the Quran and the décor, photographed closely so the details show.

Planning tips

How to plan your coverage

List each event and its setting

Send us dates, times and venues for the henna night, nikah, reception and walima. Some families hold the nikah privately at home or in a masjid days before the celebration, and each event has its own hours.

Tell us your preferences on segregation and modesty

Let us know whether events are segregated, which areas are women-only and how the bride would like to be photographed, so we can plan coverage and staffing before the day.

Confirm the masjid's guidelines

Ask the masjid or imam in advance whether photography and video are allowed in the prayer hall, and where we may stand. We dress modestly, remove shoes where required and keep movement to a minimum.

Use video for the nikah and zaffa

The Quran recitation, the khutbah and the drums of the zaffa are best remembered with sound. A second videographer helps when men's and women's sides are in separate rooms.

Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
