A Pakistani wedding often unfolds over several events: dholki evenings with family songs, a colorful mehndi, the nikah, the baraat with the rukhsati at its close, and the valima hosted by the groom's family. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers can cover each of these, and we plan the coverage around how your family celebrates, whether events are held together or separately, at home, in a masjid or in a banquet hall.
Choose your city below for local venues, typical coverage and answers to common questions, or book directly online. A typical Pakistani wedding is about 5 hours of photography ($650) and 5 hours of videography ($1,100).

What we capture
Key moments we photograph and film in Iowa
Dholki
Evenings of dholak, wedding songs and family gatherings in the days before the wedding, usually relaxed and full of candid moments.
Mehndi
The bride's henna, the yellow and green outfits, choreographed dances and the playful competition between both families.
Nikah
The marriage contract, the ijab-o-qubool, the signing of the nikah nama and the dua, photographed respectfully within the guidelines of your imam or masjid.
Baraat arrival
The groom's party arriving with dhol and dancing, the welcome by the bride's family and the playful rasms such as joota chupai.
Bride and groom on stage
The couple seated together, the arsi mushaf, family members joining them for photos and the exchange of gifts.
Rukhsati
The bride's departure from her family home or venue, an emotional moment we cover quietly, with the Quran held above her head where that is your family's tradition.
Valima
The reception hosted by the groom's family, with the couple's entrance, family portraits and the more relaxed atmosphere of the final event.
Outfits and details
Bridal jewelry, the lehenga or gharara, the groom's sherwani and the stage décor, photographed closely so the craftsmanship shows.

Our work
Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Iowa
List each event and its venue
Send us dates, times and locations for the dholki, mehndi, nikah, baraat and valima. Some families combine the nikah and baraat on one day, and the schedule determines how many hours each event needs.
Tell us your preferences on segregation and photography
If some areas are women-only, or certain family members prefer not to be photographed, let us know early so we can plan coverage and staffing that respects those wishes.
Allow time for stage photos
Family photos on stage with the couple take longer than most families expect. Book enough hours that the photographer is still there once the formal program ends.
Consider video for the mehndi and nikah
Mehndi performances and the nikah recitation are moments where sound matters. A videographer, or a second videographer at large events, records these for family who couldn't attend.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
