Muslim wedding photographer in Birmingham
Looking for an affordable Muslim wedding photographer in Birmingham? HOBS FILMS offers professional Nikkah, Mehndi, and Walima coverage starting from £80 per hour.
Your wedding day is a collection of moments you will want to look back on for the rest of your life. For Muslim families in Birmingham, these moments are often spread across several days and multiple beautiful ceremonies. Whether it is the solemnity of the Nikkah, the bright colors of the Mehndi, or the grand celebration of the Walima, every second counts.
However, planning a large wedding in Birmingham can quickly become expensive. At HOBS FILMS, Muslim Wedding Photographer Birmingham, we believe that every couple deserves high-quality, professional photos without having to spend their entire life savings. That is why we offer specialized Muslim wedding photography starting from just £80 per hour (after the first hour).
In this post, we’ll explain why choosing a photographer who understands Muslim traditions is important and how our flexible pricing helps you get exactly what you need.
Why Cultural Experience Matters
A Muslim wedding is not just a party; it is a religious and cultural milestone. Hiring a photographer who is familiar with these traditions ensures that nothing important is missed. In Birmingham, we have a rich and diverse community, and we have experience working with Pakistani, Bengali, Arab, and African Muslim families.
1. The Nikkah Ceremony
The Nikkah is the most sacred part of the wedding. It often takes place in a mosque or a family home. A photographer needs to know how to move respectfully in a religious setting. We understand the importance of the signing of the marriage contract and the prayers that follow. We make sure to capture these emotional moments discreetly.
2. Modesty and Respect
We are fully aware of the importance of modesty (Haya) in Muslim weddings. Whether it is a segregated event or a mixed gathering, we work with respect for your family's values. We ensure that our presence is helpful and never intrusive.
3. The Details
From the intricate henna (Mehndi) designs on the bride’s hands to the heavy embroidery of the bridal dress and the jewelry, there are so many details that represent your heritage. We use professional-grade Sony cameras and prime lenses to make sure these details look sharp and beautiful in your final gallery.
Affordable Wedding Photography in Birmingham
One of the biggest challenges for couples is the high cost of wedding vendors. Many photographers in the UK charge a flat fee of £1,500 or more, even if you only need them for a few hours.
We do things differently. We offer a transparent hourly rate so you only pay for the time you actually need.
Our Simple Pricing:
- First Hour: £250 (Includes travel and setup)
- Each Additional Hour: Only £80 per hour
- Videography: £100 per hour
This "micro-wedding" approach is perfect for Birmingham couples who might be having a small Nikkah one day and a larger reception a few weeks later. You don't have to buy a "Full Day" package twice.
Example Packages:
- Intimate 2-Hour Nikkah: £330
- Half Day (5 Hours): £570
- Full Day Coverage (10 Hours): £970
Compare this to the average cost of wedding photography in Birmingham, and you will see that we provide a professional service at a fraction of the usual price. Please have a look to our Packages and Prices
Combining Photography and Videography
While photos are perfect for printing and putting in an album, video captures the sounds and emotions of the day in a different way. Hearing the recitation of the Quran during the Nikkah or the laughter during the speeches is priceless.
At HOBS FILMS, we offer Cinematic Wedding Videography. Our team uses high-end equipment like gimbals and Steadicams to get smooth, movie-like footage.
- Photography + Videography (2 Hours): Starts at £430
- Photography + Videography (10 Hours): Around £1,870
By booking both services with us, you ensure that the style of your photos and your video match perfectly. Plus, it’s much easier to deal with one team than two separate companies.
What Do You Get with Your Package?
We don't believe in "hidden fees." When you book us for your Birmingham wedding, you get a complete professional service:
- Unlimited Photos: We don't cap the number of pictures we take. If it’s a beautiful moment, we capture it.
- Professional Editing: Every photo is retouched for color and clarity. We provide a mix of vibrant colors and timeless black-and-white images.
- Digital Delivery: Your photos and videos are delivered via a secure online platform (like Google Drive) for easy downloading and sharing with family.
- Fast Delivery: We aim to get your memories back to you as quickly as possible—usually within a month—so the excitement of the wedding is still fresh.
Serving All of Birmingham and the UK
Birmingham is home to some incredible wedding venues, from the grand banquet halls in Digbeth and Small Heath to the beautiful mosques throughout the city. We know these locations well and know how to work with the lighting in large halls to ensure your photos don't look dark or grainy.
Although we are highly active in Birmingham, we also cover:
- London
- Milton Keynes
- Luton
- Bedfordshire
- And the rest of the UK
The best part? We often do not charge extra for travel within these areas, making us one of the most cost-effective options for couples nationwide.
How to Prepare for Your Wedding Photos
To help us get the best results on your big day, here are a few simple tips for our couples:
- The Shot List: If there are specific family members you must have a photo with, let us know! We can work with a "shot list" to make sure no one is missed.
- Timing: Muslim weddings often run a little behind schedule. Because we charge by the hour, we can be flexible. If you need us to stay an extra hour to catch the cake cutting, just ask—it’s only £80.
- Lighting: If you are having an evening event, talk to us about the lighting in the hall. We bring our own professional lights and flashes, but knowing the layout helps us plan the best angles.
Why Trust HOBS FILMS?
We started HOBS FILMS because we saw that too many couples were being priced out of professional photography. We wanted to create a service that was friendly, simple, and affordable.
Our clients appreciate our "candid" style. While we do take formal family portraits, we spend most of the day capturing "real" moments—the nervous smile of the groom, the tears of the mother of the bride, and the joy of friends celebrating. We want your wedding album to tell a story, not just look like a series of posed pictures.
