When it comes to blending elegance, tradition, and celebration, Ushma and Karam’s wedding was the perfect example of a day filled with love and laughter. With their ceremony taking place at the stunning Langtons House and the reception held at the spacious and vibrant Chigwell Marquee, this wedding was a dream to photograph from start to finish.


As an Essex wedding photographer, I love the diversity that weddings in the area bring, and Ushma and Karam’s special day was no exception. From the intimate moments of the ceremony to the lively celebrations of the evening, their wedding was filled with beauty, emotion, and plenty of unforgettable memories.

The Reception: Chigwell Marquee

Once the ceremony ended, the celebrations continued at the Chigwell Marquee, a spacious and stylish venue nestled in the Essex countryside. Known for its versatility and capacity to host grand celebrations, the marquee was transformed into a vibrant setting.

The evening kicked off with heartfelt speeches from family and friends, followed by a delicious meal that brought everyone together. But the real magic began when the dance floor opened, and the couple led the way with their first dance. The lively music and the energy of the crowd kept the celebrations going well into the night, with plenty of candid moments captured along the way.
