Syeda & Mo’s South Asian Wedding at Whites Ferry Manor
They say some souls find each other long before they actually meet.
For Syeda and Mo, their wedding at Whites Ferry Manor felt exactly like that, a beautiful "forever" finally coming true.
As a South Asian wedding photographer, capturing the mix of old traditions and modern style. Syeda and Mo’s day in Leesburg was the perfect example of "casual elegance." It was grand, but it felt like home.
The Perfect Virginia Wedding Venue - If you are looking for a place that feels royal but cozy, Whites Ferry Manor is it. It has become a top spot for luxury South Asian weddings in the DMV area.
The manor sits right by the Potomac River, giving us amazing views for wedding photos and videos. One of the best parts? The iconic Maharaja Tent. It’s huge enough for a big guest list but still feels private and special. Syeda and Mo moved perfectly from their meaningful ceremony to a high-energy party without missing a beat.
Stunning Decor and Style The wedding looked like a dream, thanks to Decor by Shama (@decorbyshama.bushra). She turned the space into a garden sanctuary. From the stunning stage decor to the flowers along the aisle, everything worked perfectly with the Virginia landscape.
Syeda looked incredible. Her makeup was done by the talented @makeupbynoormir, giving her a soft, "editorial" glow. Her bridal portraits showed off the beautiful details of her traditional dress while keeping a fresh, modern feel. Honestly, she looked like she stepped straight out of South Asian Bride Magazine!
Once the sun went down, the party really started. DJ Mani DMV (@djmanidmv) kept the dance floor packed all night. It was so much fun to capture the laughter, the family dances, and the pure joy on everyone's faces. These are the moments that make South Asian wedding photography so special.
A wedding this beautiful takes a village. We loved working with this amazing team of vendors:

Whites Ferry Manor in Leesburg, VA, is a favorite because it offers a perfect mix of outdoor and indoor luxury. The Maharaja Tent is a huge draw for South Asian weddings as it provides a grand, culturally authentic space for large guest counts. Plus, the views of the Potomac River make for stunning Pakistani and Indian wedding photography and drone video shots.

Yes! We are a full-service team offering both photo and cinema. For complex multi-day weddings, having one team handle both ensures a consistent "casual elegant" look across your images and films. It also means fewer vendors for you to coordinate with during your busy wedding week.

Absolutely. Most of our DMV South Asian wedding clients book us for 2-3 days. We offer custom packages that cover everything from the colorful chaos of the Sangeet and Mehndi to the intimate Nikkah or Shaadi ceremony. We are experts at managing the fast-paced nature of these traditional events.

The Baraat is one of the most exciting parts of the day! At Whites Ferry Manor, we use multiple shooters to capture every angle one focused on the groom’s entrance and another on the family’s energy. We also provide drone wedding videography to capture the full scale of the procession as it moves toward the manor.

Yes, we love collaborating! A successful wedding day depends on teamwork. We work closely with experts like Decor by Shama (@decorbyshama.bushra) to ensure her floral designs are lit perfectly for photos, and we coordinate with DJ Mani DMV to sync our audio for high-quality reception films.

We know how excited you are to share your day! We provide a "Sneak Peek" gallery within 48-72 hours. Your full, high-resolution gallery and edited wedding films are usually delivered within 8-12 weeks, depending on the length of your multi-day events.
