About Leicester
Cinematic Asian & Muslim wedding coverage in Leicester.
Leicester is one of the most diverse and dynamic cities in the UK for Asian weddings. With strong Asian communities, the city celebrates everything from intimate Nikah ceremonies to multi-day Hindu weddings with full Baraat processions and grand receptions.
At Five Shades Weddings, we travel from our Birmingham base to Leicester regularly — it's just down the road for us. We've captured Walimas at the city's largest banqueting halls, Hindu weddings with fire ceremony rituals, and intimate Nikahs at venues across the East Midlands. Our team adapts to the cultural detail of every wedding tradition.
Our style blends candid documentary coverage with editorial portraits. We capture the energy of the dance floor, the emotion of family moments, the cultural ceremonies that matter most, and the beautiful detail of décor, florals and outfits. The result is a gallery and film that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Our packages start from £1,100 and include unlimited professionally edited photos, a cinematic highlight film, and a full wedding film (1 hour plus). For multi-day Leicester weddings — Mehndi, Nikah, Baraat, Reception, Walima — the Legacy package adds a full crew and drone coverage. Female photographers are available for segregated events.
If you're planning a wedding in Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray or anywhere across the East Midlands, we'd love to hear from you. Send your event details and we'll get back to you with a tailored quote within a few hours.

Couples' Words
What Couples Actually Say
Every review below was left by a real couple we've worked with. No incentives, no edits — just honest words about their experience.
"We were blown away by how natural everything felt. The team didn't stage awkward poses — they caught real laughter, my mum's tears during the nikah, and the chaos of the baraat entrance. Watching the film back felt like reliving the day."
Reliving the day
"Honestly, we were nervous about being filmed, but within an hour we forgot the cameras were even there. The highlight reel made our whole family cry. Worth every penny."
Forgot cameras were there
"After seeing a friend's wedding film, we booked Five Shades immediately. Our photos are gallery-worthy — the colours, the light, the emotion. We've had guests ask who shot it constantly."
Gallery-worthy photos
"Professional from the first WhatsApp message to the final delivery. They arrived early, knew all the key moments before they happened, and the turnaround was faster than promised. Rare to find this level of reliability in wedding vendors."
Professional from day one
"The drone shots of our venue at sunset were cinematic. But what really got us was the sound design — they kept the audio from the speeches and layered it perfectly. Felt like a movie, not a wedding video."
Felt like a movie
"We had three events across two cities and different timings. The team handled it seamlessly — same crew, same quality, no stress. The albums are stunning and the films even better."
