The short answer

Your Asian wedding photographer in Brighton, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across East Sussex for over twenty five years, and couples in Brighton choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. For the vidaai we hold back and let the emotion be what it is, photographing the goodbyes gently rather than crowding a moment that belongs to the family. From the mehndi and sangeet to the baraat, the ceremony and the reception, we photograph every part of an Asian wedding in and around Brighton with knowledge and care. We have spent twenty-five years learning the detail of Asian weddings, and it shows in every gallery. 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 East Sussex for your wedding.

Serving Brighton

Every Ritual, Every Day, Photographed Across Brighton

Brighton is a vibrant seaside city with grand venues. We photograph Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings throughout Hove, Worthing and Shoreham and the surrounding towns. 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 are at ease with large, multi-day celebrations and intimate ceremonies alike. We are calm and unhurried, gathering the whole story without ever getting in the way. For the jaimala and the joota chupai we stay close to the fun, because these lighter rituals carry as much of the family's character as the solemn ones.

We have photographed weddings in and around Brighton for years, and Brighton is a vibrant seaside city with grand venues, which makes its venues and its traffic no mystery to us. We also cover nearby Bournemouth and Crawley. Close to Brighton, we have worked at venues including The Royal Pavilion, Harbour Hotel Brighton and Hotel du Vin Brighton.

Brighton is a lively East Sussex seaside city known for its Regency architecture, The Lanes and inclusive culture. Brighton railway station is on the Brighton Main Line with fast trains to London Victoria and London Bridge. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Preston Park, the city's largest park with lawns, a walled rock garden and mature trees, with The Royal Pavilion, an exotic Indo Saracenic royal palace built for the Prince Regent close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer

What is included in your Brighton Asian wedding coverage

01

Grand Entrances

Whether by baraat, doli or a lit-up reception walk, we make sure your entrance is caught in full and never half-framed.

02

The Baraat

The dhol, the dancing and the groom's joyful arrival, photographed with all of its energy.

03

Temples & Gurdwaras

Respectful, unobtrusive coverage in temples, gurdwaras and mosques.

Every tradition

The rituals that make your day

We work in the background of the priest, the granthi or the imam, reading their rhythm so the ceremony flows without a photographer in the way. A ceremony is a sequence of small sacred acts, not one photograph, and we tell it as the story it is, from the first ritual to the last. For Tamil and South Indian families, the muhurtham and the tying of the thali are the sacred centre of the ceremony.

The dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy. 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. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration.

The whole celebration

From mehndi to reception in Brighton

Sangeet nights belong to the aunties and uncles who have been rehearsing for weeks, and we make sure their performances are held properly, not lost in the noise of the crowd. The early events are full of warmth and laughter, and we photograph them with the same care as the ceremony.

For the busiest days, a second photographer covers two moments at once, the baraat and the preparations. When two ceremonies share a single day, we balance our attention carefully, giving each tradition its full weight rather than treating one as a warm-up for the other.

Why choose us

Experience that shows in Brighton

We back up every image on the day as we shoot, carry spare equipment to each event, and have never once left a family without their photographs. Experience means we are ready for early starts, muhurat and muhurtham timings and the precise order of rituals.

Distance is never a problem; travelling to your venues is simply part of how we work. When your ceremony and reception sit in different towns across Hove, Worthing and Shoreham, we map the day in advance so no minute of coverage is lost in transit.

Wedding photography in Brighton, frequently asked questions

We know the rituals, we respect each faith, and our documentary style gives you honest photographs that feel like your day, not a template.

Of course. Many Asian families set the wedding date by an auspicious muhurat, and popular dates book up early. Once you are ready, we secure your Brighton date with a booking, and we recommend enquiring well ahead so your chosen photographer is free when the time comes.

Yes, the reception is a large part of the celebration. We record the grand entrance, the speeches, the first dance and the energy on the floor as the dhol and DJ take over. We keep working through the evening so the whole spirit of the party is preserved.

Yes, and we enjoy the variety a fusion day brings. Whether you are combining a Hindu ceremony with a civil service, or a Sikh and Muslim family coming together, we respect the customs of each side. We plan the timeline carefully so both traditions are given equal attention.

Yes, these evenings are some of our favourites. The mehndi, sangeet and garba are full of colour, music and family energy, and they set the tone for everything that follows. We record them in a relaxed, observational style so the laughter and dancing come through honestly.

We can. For weddings in Brighton where the ladies' side is kept private, or where a female photographer is preferred for the bridal preparations, we will arrange one as part of your coverage. Please mention this when you enquire so we can plan the team around your needs.

Absolutely. Be it an intimate ceremony with close family in Brighton or a celebration of several hundred guests, we tailor our coverage to your day and your traditions. Every wedding matters to us, and the same care and attention go into each, whatever its size.
