The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across Buckinghamshire for over twenty five years, and couples in Amersham choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. We move quietly through the day, capturing the real moments rather than staging them. From the mehndi and sangeet to the baraat, the ceremony and the reception, we photograph every part of an Asian wedding in and around Amersham with knowledge and care. Experience is not only knowing the rituals; it is knowing when a grandmother will cry and where the light will fall, and being ready for both. A second photographer for the busiest days, a female photographer where needed and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Buckinghamshire for your wedding.
Serving Amersham
Amersham is a Chilterns market town with old and new quarters. We travel throughout Buckinghamshire for Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings, and Chesham, Beaconsfield and Chalfont St Peter are all familiar to us. At a Gujarati mandap we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras, and we photograph them in the order your priest keeps rather than a generic script.
We photograph with warmth and respect, mindful of the meaning behind each ritual across every faith. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of your events. We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the vows as faithfully as the bhangra.
We travel throughout Buckinghamshire for temple, gurdwara and mosque ceremonies, and Amersham, a Chilterns market town with old and new quarters, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Chesham and Gerrards Cross. In and around Amersham, we have photographed at venues such as The Kings Chapel, The Griffin and De Vere Latimer Estate.
Amersham is a Chilterns market town split between the historic Old Amersham and the newer Amersham-on-the-Hill built up around the station. Amersham station is a shared terminus for the London Underground Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways. We often take couples to Shardeloes, the parkland and lake beside the Georgian country house on the edge of Old Amersham for a few quiet portraits, and The 17th century Market Hall in Old Amersham, alongside St Mary's Church is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
We photograph the signing, the vows and the quiet words between families with the care the ceremony calls for.
The dignity of the nikah and the warmth of the walima, sensitively photographed.
A sneak preview soon after the wedding, with your full gallery and album to follow.
Every tradition
For Gujarati families we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras and photograph each as you keep it. When the couple rise as husband and wife and turn to their families, we are already facing them, ready for the smiles that follow the solemnity. At a Gujarati mandap we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras, and we photograph them in the order your priest keeps rather than a generic script.
We capture the lively baraat as the groom arrives, with the dhol, the dancing and the milni. The dhol player sets the pulse of the baraat, and we work close to the drum and the dancers so the picture carries the sound within it. For Muslim families the walima is a warm celebration in its own right, and we cover it in full.

The whole celebration
The henna of the mehndi and the turmeric of the haldi are rich with colour, and we make the most of it. A celebration often opens with an intimate mehndi at home and a lively sangeet full of music and dance.
From the baraat to the last guest, we follow the whole day at its own pace. A wedding that moves between temple, hall and reception needs coverage that moves with it, and we handle those transitions so your day reads as one story, not three.
Why choose us
Knowing the running order of a Sikh Anand Karaj, a Gujarati hastamelap or a Tamil muhurtham means we are never caught out by a sudden change of pace. We have stood quietly beside the sacred fire, walked the gurdwara with the couple and waited for the thali to be tied, so nothing about your ceremony is unfamiliar.
From our London base the towns of Buckinghamshire are an easy and familiar run, and we are happy to travel further afield when your day calls for it. We cover the whole of the UK for Asian weddings, so distance never stands in the way.

Where we travel
We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire. We are based in London and think nothing of the drive across Buckinghamshire, so travelling to your venues is simply part of how we work.

Good to know
We are. At an Amersham ceremony we keep our distance during the vows and the sacred rituals, working quietly with a long lens whatever the tradition, so nothing is disturbed. Our documentary style means the day feels like yours, and we remain calm and unobtrusive throughout.
We photograph weddings across Buckinghamshire and throughout the UK, so travelling to Amersham is no trouble at all. We are based near London but regularly work well beyond it. Tell us your venue and date, and we will confirm everything, including any travel arrangements, in writing.
Asian receptions often carry on well into the evening, and we plan our coverage to see the day through to the moments that matter to you. We agree the finishing point in advance, and if the celebration overruns we will always discuss options rather than simply pack away.
Yes. Twenty-five years across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings mean we know each tradition's order of events, so we are always in position for the moments that matter.
Yes. From the dignity of the nikah, the signing of the contract and the giving of the mehr to the warmth of the walima, we photograph it all, working respectfully within your family's customs and arranging additional photographers in Amersham where events are held separately.
Between us we have photographed Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Punjabi, Muslim, Tamil and mixed-faith weddings, so a celebration in Amersham is in familiar hands. We understand the rituals and the running order of each tradition, and nothing catches us off guard.
Very much so. A mixed-faith wedding brings two sets of customs together, and we give each the attention and respect it deserves. We speak with both families beforehand to understand what matters most on either side, then plan the day so nobody feels their traditions were overlooked.
