Multi-day Asian weddings from Barking to Dagenham
Across several days it is the ceremonies that give least trouble. They have an order, an officiant and a fixed place, and they behave. What goes missing is everything between them: the hours spent in a corridor, the drive across the borough, the stretch when one room is being emptied and the next one is not ready yet. Nobody owns those hours, and they hold the pictures your family will actually keep.
So we plan them deliberately. A suite in Barking and Dagenham running a ceremony at midday and a reception after dark has to be reset between the two, and while the staff work you are somewhere else with nothing to do. That gap is the best portrait window of the entire event, and it costs nothing. Ask early what time the turnaround starts, and we will spend it on you both instead of on a corridor.

Superb and highly professional wedding photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Kaushik Bathia Photography for a recent wedding at Orchardleigh Estate.
I hired Kaushik for our wedding and I’m extremely glad I did!! Kaushik took amazing pictures and the quality of the pictures were amazing. Kaushik was very patient and was very helpful since the start. My family including our guest were constantly asking me who the photographer was as he gave the best service.
I had hired Mr Kaushik as our photographer for my son and daughters wedding fir all the ceremonies conducted and found him to be friendly professional with all the guests The quality of his photographs are excellent and are of high quality I was also very impressed when he had completed the albums He also give extra hours if needed and does not complain I would recommend to anyone

Every tradition
Every Tradition Keeps Its Own Order
Traditions diverge completely, and we do not pretend otherwise. Fire and a canopy carry one family's day; four circuits of a scripture, in a hall governed by its own committee, carry the next; a third turns on a document that two witnesses countersign in ten quiet minutes. Each of those demands different access, a different distance and different manners, and asking which of them is yours beats assuming anything at all from a surname.
What generalises is the shape of a multi-day event. Energy peaks and then collapses, so the second afternoon needs handling unlike the first evening. Cards fill and batteries die at the worst possible hour, so we duplicate as we go and reset overnight. And a family that has met the camera on day one is far more relaxed around it by day three, which argues strongly for booking the whole run rather than the headline day on its own.
Why choose us
What to Expect from Us, Day by Day
You get straight answers about what is achievable in the time available, and a shot list built from your order of service rather than a template. We arrive before we are needed, dress so we disappear, and we do not direct your elders. Afterwards you get an edit that follows the days in sequence.
Every day of your Barking and Dagenham celebration is photographed by Kaushik Bathia himself: established 2001, FBIPP and FMPA, with five European Kodak Gold Awards.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Barking and Dagenham, FAQs
Yes, and they can be among the more interesting days to work. Get both officiants to write out what they will actually do, because the join between two orders of service is where timings slip and where a photographer needs warning.
The building sets its own terms and we follow them. We contact its office beforehand to learn where a lens is welcome and what happens during the parts closed to us, so nothing gets negotiated in front of your guests.
Yes, we travel to all of them. Conventions on footwear, covered heads, the directions a lens may be pointed and who is allowed near the front differ from one to the next, and we would rather be told them in advance than corrected halfway through a service.
Hand-bound books, laid out by us and approved by you. For a wedding across several days, the choice is usually one thick volume that runs in order or a slim book for each event, and we would rather build the one you will actually open.
Yes. The haldi or pithi is a warm and joyful morning when turmeric is applied to the couple, and it yields wonderfully candid, colourful pictures. We hang back a little so the family can enjoy the fun without inhibition, only moving in close when the moment truly invites it.
