Anayah Khan Photography — trading as The Female Wedding Photographer — is a specialist wedding photography and videography studio based in Ilford, GB. With a female-led team and over a decade working across Asian weddings, Anayah brings cultural understanding, calm professionalism and a cinematic eye to every celebration. Brides and families choose us because we blend respect for tradition with contemporary storytelling to create images and films that feel personal and timeless. Why choose Anayah Khan Photography? We position ourselves as wedding specialists. Our approach centres on getting to know you and the cultural flow of your day — from Mehndi and Nikkah to Baraat and Walima — so we can capture the moments that matter without interrupting them. Working predominantly with female photographers and female videographers, we offer a discreet, sensitive presence that many clients prefer for modesty, privacy and comfort during bridal preparations and women-only events. What makes our style special is the combination of documentary authenticity and cinematic craft. Photographs are composed to honour colour, jewellery and ritual while still feeling natural and unscripted. Our cinematic wedding films use narrative pacing, considered sound design and cinematic framing to translate the emotion of the day into a keepsake you will want to watch again and again. We also use industry-standard gear — from professional cameras to gimbals and drone capabilities where appropriate — to lift your story visually while keeping the focus on people and tradition. How we work: every booking begins with a conversation to understand your schedule, cultural requirements and creative preferences. On the day we blend into the flow, guiding when needed and capturing candid, editorial and formal moments. After the wedding, our editing process refines colour, light and pacing to produce polished photos and a cinematic film that reflect your day’s personality. Based in Ilford, we frequently work across London and nationwide. If you want a wedding team that understands Asian traditions and places care, cultural sensitivity and cinematic storytelling at the heart of its work, Anayah Khan Photography is positioned to deliver elegant, authentic wedding photography and videography tailored to your day.
