Superb and highly professional wedding photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Kaushik Bathia Photography for a recent wedding at Orchardleigh Estate.
…I felt the session was flexible and took into account the limited attention span of a 5 year old child! We had numerous photos taken of us, separately and together in three different outfits. We were very happy with the results and found it difficult to shortlist our favourites from soo many amazing photos. I would highly recommend them.
I went the studio for the photoshoot and Mr Batia is proffessional, courteous ,efficient and cheerful. I love my photos and will come again. Highly recommend.
What we photograph in Alperton
Newborns, graduations and grand celebrations
Alperton sits beside the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal. From our Northwood base we cover portrait work in the studio and on location at parks, homes and venues throughout Wembley, Sudbury and Perivale. Brent Register Office is at Brent Civic Centre, beneath the Wembley Stadium arch, with a Ceremony Suite for up to 100 guests and Ceremony Gardens that have a canopy, heaters and lighting, and whether your wedding is a civil ceremony there or a Hindu celebration over several days, we plan the coverage with you in advance.
Engagements, weddings, maternity and newborn sittings, first birthdays and christenings can all be photographed for families in Alperton, either in the studio or on location. For a family session close to home we would suggest Heather Park Open Space on Heather Park Drive, which Brent Council refurbished in 2023 with an upgraded play area, new trees and fresh seating. Some families like a formal set in the studio and others a looser hour outdoors in one of Brent's open spaces, and we shape the mood of the session to suit yours.
Headshots for LinkedIn, acting portfolios and branding sets are taken in the studio, while product photography and corporate events can be covered on location for businesses in Alperton. For companies we also cover away days, conferences and launch evenings, alongside branding sets and product ranges. In the studio we also restore damaged photographs, make reprints and enlargements, and take passport and visa photos to the current rules.

Across Alperton
Alperton, between Wembley and Ealing
The Grand Junction Canal was dug across Alperton in 1801, and by around 1900 the area was a celebrated resort for anglers. Alperton is a residential and light-industrial district of North Wembley strung along the Grand Union Canal, and we cover Wembley and Sudbury on the same trips. Wedding venues near Alperton include The Clay Oven on Ealing Road, whose banqueting suites host Indian weddings, receptions and mehndi events, and the Hilton London Wembley.
Alperton is a diverse part of the London Borough of Brent with a large South Asian community. Ealing Road is its main commercial road. Alperton station, in fare zone 4, is on the Piccadilly line and first opened in 1903 as Perivale Alperton. When there is time for couple portraits, One Tree Hill Recreation Ground, with views towards Harrow on the Hill and central London, or the canal towpath would make a memorable setting.
Feeling nervous is perfectly normal, and we allow time for it. An easy start and a little conversation usually settle everyone before the serious pictures begin. The session can be at the studio or somewhere in Alperton that matters to you, and we plan it around that setting.
Why book us in Alperton
What stands behind an Alperton booking
Five European Kodak Gold Awards set a standard we apply to a small civil ceremony just as much as to a showcase wedding. Spare camera bodies and dual memory cards come to every job, because a wedding day cannot be repeated and we would rather carry the extra weight than risk a moment.
Alperton is about six and a half miles from the studio, and travel there is not charged. We photograph clients in and around Alperton, travelling across Wembley, Sudbury and Perivale whenever your shoot calls for it.
Your photographs come as high-resolution files in an online gallery, and framed prints or a hand-finished album can be added whenever you like. Framing, printing and album binding all happen at 21 Joel St, so a single portrait for your wall in Alperton and a full album are prepared under one roof.
Alperton's canal, parks and landmarks
From the Paddington Arm towpath to One Tree Hill, these notes cover spots in and near Alperton that could shape a canal-side portrait, a family hour or a wedding in Brent. A source link sits under every entry, so access and other details can be checked before a shoot is planned around them.
- Grand Union Canal, Paddington Arm. Alperton adjoins the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, whose towpath has appeared in various scenes of the BBC soap EastEnders. 1
- Alperton Sports Ground has five public tennis courts, a football pitch and a mini-soccer pitch, about 15 minutes' walk from Hanger Lane station. 2
- Alperton's Festival of Britain escalator. In 1955 Alperton station was given an up escalator to the eastbound platform that had first been used at the Festival of Britain; it made Alperton one of only two stations with an escalator up to the platforms until it fell out of use in 1988. 3
- Alprinton, 1199. Alperton is first recorded as 'Alprinton' in 1199, when it had 12 buildings, and the name probably means 'the farm of Eahlbeort'. 4
- Brent Register Office is at Brent Civic Centre, beneath the Wembley Stadium arch, where couples can marry in a purpose-built Ceremony Suite or in the Ceremony Gardens, which have a canopy, heaters and lighting for outdoor ceremonies all year. 5

Good to know
Photography in Alperton, frequently asked questions
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Getting three or four generations into one frame is special, especially when the family is rarely all in one place. Tell us how many people are coming when you book, so we allow enough time and room. Give us a list of the groupings you want, grandparents with grandchildren or siblings together, and we will work through every one.
Yes, product photography for websites, brochures and online marketplaces is part of what we offer. Lighting is set to show each item's shape, colour and detail truthfully, on a plain white background or styled with props. For an Ealing Road retailer or a maker selling online, that means one matching set of product shots across the whole range, ready for listings.
Most people say they dislike having their picture taken, which is why a session with us is never hurried. We talk as we go and give simple directions, such as where to look, how to angle your shoulders or what to do with your hands. After more than 25 years behind the camera, Kaushik can tell when someone needs a pause, and the stiffness usually passes quickly.
Plain white, grey or black studio backdrops suit most company websites and LinkedIn profiles. For a softer look we can shoot against a blurred office or an outdoor setting, such as the waterside by the canal in Alperton. Whichever backdrop you pick, the whole team is photographed in one consistent style.
Vouchers normally last twelve months from purchase, giving whoever receives one time to book a session that suits. Should plans change, let us know; we would much rather be flexible than see a present wasted. Each voucher sets out its terms in writing.
We do. Alperton was made a Housing Zone by the Mayor of London in 2015 and is one of Brent's Growth Areas, with new workspace planned in a waterside neighbourhood. For firms there or along Ealing Road we offer product photography, branding images, corporate headshots and coverage of company functions. Catalogue shots are made in the controlled light of the studio and event pictures on the night itself, and both arrive as files sized for your website, print and marketing. Send us a short brief and we will reply with a plan for the shoot.
We do. The studio frames and enlarges photographs, whether we took them or they come from your own collection, so a favourite picture can become a proper wall piece. We talk through sizes, finishes and mouldings so the frame suits both the picture and the room it hangs in. A framed print moves a photograph off your phone and onto a wall where it is seen every day.
