Serving Brighton

From Mehndi to Reception, Across a Brighton Wedding Week

Over a multi-day booking the ceremonies cause the least trouble of anything on the schedule. They run to a plan, they are lit by whatever lights them, and everyone knows roughly where to stand. Things come apart in the gaps instead: a car that cannot reach the door, a bride ready forty minutes ahead of anyone's expectation, a family portrait nobody wrote down. Those gaps get the hardest planning from us, because nobody else is planning them.

Brighton's particular complication is its busy city centre. Equipment travels between venues on wheels through streets never laid out for it, and every transfer between one day's room and the next subtracts time from photography. Where a day uses a second venue, scout the route and agree a handover point beforehand. Put consecutive functions in one building if you can; if you cannot, write the transfer into the schedule as an event with a length.

We hired Kaushik for our wedding. He was a fantastic photographer, very professional and great to work with. Kaushik was very flexible with timings, he was patient, and produced amazing photos! We received our photos really quickly and the quality of them are really nice!! His communication throughout was really good and understood what I wanted. My family were also very happy with Kaushik and the photos.

The Owner is very friendly and professional. I have been using Mr Bathia for over 15 years and have seen him through multiple family weddings.

Viren C., Google review, 2021

A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.

Every tradition

Whose rules shape your ceremony

Every family hands its ceremony to somebody, and establishing who that is is the first job. One house gives it to a priest who will say precisely where you may kneel. In another an institution holds the authority, under rules older than anybody's booking. Elsewhere a registrar holds it, with a script and a clock to keep. That person sets the limits on where a camera goes and when it stops, and neither the couple nor we can move them.

The rest is arithmetic. A sangeet is a stage with a running order, so its lighting is performance lighting and should be built as such. Put live fire in a room and metering leads everything else. A signing lasts ninety seconds and will not be repeated for anyone. We ask which of these your week actually holds, in what order and in which rooms, then weight coverage towards whichever two or three carry it.

Why choose us

Experience that shows on the day

Experience shows up as an absence of things going wrong. Batteries charged for the longest day rather than the average one. A second shooter who knows where to be without being told. The family group list existing on paper before the morning starts, which is the one change that saves the most time and the most arguing.

Kaushik Bathia photographs every Brighton commission himself: established 2001, FBIPP and FMPA, and five European Kodak Gold Awards.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Brighton, FAQs

Tell us the moment it is fixed and we will hold it while you decide. Dates picked this way tend to cluster, so the popular ones disappear early, and a signed form is what settles it properly rather than an email.

Yes. Brighton Town Hall, for example, holds ceremonies from a couple and four guests upwards, and an intimate nikah, a family engagement or a small register office wedding gets the same documentary care as a large one.

The moment your date is fixed and your rooms are chosen. A wedding that runs for several days in Brighton needs a great deal more planning than one afternoon does, and starting early is how the awkward transitions get designed out.

The venue and its customs lead, and we follow. That means shoes off, a covered head where the building asks for one, and a clear idea beforehand of where cameras must not go. With those limits agreed early, we can choose a quiet position and photograph the whole ceremony without intruding on it.

Yes, and without treating Brighton as an exception. We travel from Northwood; travel and any overnight stay are quoted in writing before you book, so the cost of the trip to the coast is clear from the start. That means turning up early, seeing each room before it fills with people, and staying for the whole of every day you have booked us for.
