Before the wedding (where the nikah will also be read), I want to get pictures taken with my “fiancee” with nice poses, and also there will be sunlight outside…However my family won’t let me, because the pictures we will be taking will be of poses where he will be touching me, and he is not my husband yet because the nikah hasn’t been read yet. He is definitely NOT allowed to see me in my bridal outfit until after the nikah.
There is no way I can get all the poses done “during” or “after” the wedding, there will be no time, and we will look too tired. I know EVERYONE does the photoshoot before the wedding but lets just say we are a bit religious.
I understand how it might be haram, because were not married yet, but how do I capture those special moments without people telling me its wrong?
-And no, we can’t just get the nikah done before the wedding…family has planned for it to happen during the wedding.
thanks...but family has planned for the nikah to be done on the stage during the wedding...all arrangements are done...i dont think i can change that :(
Have a staged photo session few days after the wedding where you guys are dressed up in your wedding clothes. I know it will be expensive but its the memories you want to preserve and memories should not have any price tag
but in pakistan n everywhere
engagment shoot is done which i think should b done on walima not even on barat cz u two r not that frank on barat day n tht bridal nervousness is obvios whn u gettin married for the very first time
so why not do it after the wedding? I mean a couple of weeks later? When you're both not tired, wedding stress free, and on top of the world. Your family doesnt need to know and neither does his. maybe you can surprise him too!
Perhaps you can have it right after the nikah is done? That's how I had it at my wedding as well, even though the picture session was 30 something minutes long, but we did get some photos taken. Better than none :-p.
And I didnt want to go through another day of photo session, so I just tried to incorporate it on the wedding day itself. While the guests were having appetizers and such, we had the photographer snap away some pics. Agreed, it was a little rush rush, but in the end, I guess it worked out fine.
hahahaha I wasn't allowed to have pictures taken with my husband at my rukhsati (we had our nikkah years before the rukhsati time)I thought it was the most stupid thing I ever heard but I followed the nonsense tradition and we had our photo shoot together before valima.. no regrets. I looked prettier on valima day anyway :D
ps: I wasn't too obsessed with pics and poses so it didnt make any difference.. if it was up to me I would have just eloped to avoid all that attention and bling bling.
Ok and why exactly cant you do it after the nikkah? Whats gonna happen then? You are allowed to move frm the stage you know and take pictures with your husband. Straight after the nikkah take pics.
Thats what my uncle n his wife did after the nikkah, they had a wicked photoshoot on the stage and didnt care what other people said they looked gorgeous!
In the UK, all the weddings I have been to, the Nikkah and Rukhsati are together and the bride and groom go off for their photoshoot after the Nikkah. Usually while the guests tuck into their starters.
I think you're very lucky to be having the Nikkah as you are; it actually gives some importance to that day. I know lots of people who got married in Pakistan and had to have the Nikkah before the mehndi or whatever.. it was such a non event and they all regretted it. And then they have the Rukhsati day which is reduced to a few rasms and seems pointless.
In terms of priority, I think your family have got it right.

Why stop there?
Technically, isn't taking pictures haram too? If you're going to be ultra orthodox, at least be consistent rather than picking and choosing what you're going to condemn.
Well, you mentioned that you wanted to take pics while outside in the sunlight, so how about you do the nice posey photoshoot during the daytime before the walima?
So you can take posey pics during the shaadi while everyone is eating (and after the nikkah is done), and then do a lot more outside on the day of the walima, so you get the best of both?

I had my photoshoot after my nikkah, we sat on the stage and had a couple of shots, moved to the headtable for starters then whilst the mains were being served went for a photoshoot in a seperate room. Then had family shots on the stage after dinner.
As we wanted some outdoor shots too, we did a photoshoot a couple of hours before the guests arrived for the valima. So best of both worlds.

Some people have very small minds, Ignore them, And i think 'soni' Was regarding me by saying why do you care your half 'gori'. Taking pictures are not haraam your right. But since people are so rude and ignorant you hav to learn to ignore them. Some people will never learn, Like it says in the Quran you hav the backward people. What can you do.
