A Gujerati Muslim Wedding at Knowsley Hall: Sara & Shezad
Some weddings stay with you forever not just because of the grandeur or the details, but because of the people, the emotions, and the genuine love that fills every frame. Sara and Shezad’s elegant Gujerati Muslim wedding at Knowsley Hall was just that kind of celebration. A day filled with beauty, heritage, style, and such a deep sense of love and respect between the couple and between families and friends too.
The day began with joy and anticipation. Sara was surrounded by the most wonderful group of women, her sisters, her mum and closest friends, each bringing laughter, calm, and excitement to the bridal suite. Adventures like this are always sweeter when shared with friends who make every step memorable.
As a photographer, I love these intimate, often overlooked moments: the quiet while makeup is applied, the knowing glances exchanged across the room, the joyful chaos of everyone getting ready together. They’re filled with character and emotion, and they’re just as important as the ceremony itself.
Sara’s bridal look was a breathtaking reflection of her identity, classic and contemporary, modest yet bold, and entirely unique. Her outfit was designed by her talented mother, Kulsoom of @chamakbykohl, a respected designer in Lancashire. The ensemble was an exquisite blend of Indian tradition and modern bridal fashion, set in soft, romantic tones of beige, with intricate detailing that shimmered delicately in the light.
Her Hollywood waves stayed flawless throughout the day (credit to the incredible @wedlocks_), and her makeup, by @xamdiyana_, enhanced her natural elegance with a soft yet polished finish. The veil, embroidered with both Sara and Shezad’s names, added the most thoughtful, personal touch, another masterpiece by @chamakbykohl.
The stationary was equally refined, with a timeless design and subtle elegance. One of the loveliest details was a letter Shezad wrote for Sara to read on the morning of the wedding, such a heartfelt gesture and one that spoke volumes about their relationship. Gentle, kind, and full of intention.
Knowsley Hall provided the perfect backdrop for Sara and Shezad’s wedding, grand, romantic, and full of character. It matched the tone of the day: sophisticated yet warm, formal yet full of feeling. Sara waited for her groom with poise and grace, and there was a gentle stillness before the ceremony their first look.
Sara had chosen The Wedding Fairy to design and decorate her wedding. She chose fresh florals in gorgeous shades of pinks, that filled the lawn and rooms with the scents of summer.
Here are some of my fave photos from the day.
