Kaushik Bathia is an award winning Asian wedding photographer based in London, photographing Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings in Burnley and throughout Lancashire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We keep our kit discreet and our footsteps light, so the record of your day is made of real moments rather than everyone looking at a lens. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Burnley, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. You are trusting your one wedding day to us, and we honour that with the steadiness of twenty-five years and a genuine understanding of Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil custom. 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 Lancashire for your wedding.

Serving Burnley

Your Multi-Day Celebration, Photographed in Burnley

Burnley is a Pennine Lancashire town with a diverse community. Asian families throughout Padiham, Nelson and Brierfield trust us with their celebrations, large and small. The vows at a nikah end in the joyful declaration that the couple are married, and the room's relief and delight are ours to keep.

Before the day we talk through the timeline in detail, flagging where the light will be, where the crowds will gather and where the quiet will fall. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of your events. We bring a long lens and a light touch, so the most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance.

Burnley is a Pennine Lancashire town with a diverse community, and its temples, halls and family homes have hosted many of the weddings we have photographed. We are frequently in neighbouring Preston and Blackburn too. Venues we know well in and near Burnley include The Oaks Hotel, Sparth House and Eaves Hall.

Burnley is a Pennine Lancashire town known for its cotton weaving heritage, its canal and Burnley Football Club. Burnley is served by Burnley Manchester Road and Burnley Central stations and sits just off the M65 motorway. For portraits away from the celebration, Towneley Park, the parkland and gardens surrounding Towneley Hall works beautifully, and Towneley Hall, a historic manor house set in parkland on the eastern edge of the town adds a real sense of place.

What we offer

What is included in your Burnley Asian wedding coverage

Multi-Day Coverage

Mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception across several days, with second photographers for large events.

Heirloom Albums

Beautifully bound albums and fine prints, designed around your favourite images.

The Vidaai

The farewell carries some of the deepest feeling of the day, and we hold those final embraces with the quiet they deserve.

Every tradition

Honouring every faith's customs

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. The blessings of the elders close many ceremonies, and we capture them with warmth. As the sindoor is applied and the mangalsutra tied, a Hindu marriage is complete, and we are ready for both of those small, fast gestures.

The engagement or roka often opens the journey months ahead, and we are happy to be there from that first gathering whenever families ask. We photograph the bridal and groom's preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye. The mehndi night, the sangeet and the haldi each carry their own mood, and we photograph them all.

The whole celebration

One day or many in Burnley

There is a particular kind of joy in a haldi, all warmth and yellow and gentle teasing, and we photograph it the way it actually happens, unhurried and honest. We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations.

We think about the whole arc of the day before it starts, mapping the light, the venues and the meals so nothing important is rushed and nothing quiet is missed. Whether the ceremony and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.

Why choose us

What Twenty-Five Years of Asian Weddings Gives You

Handling several hundred guests, a moving baraat and a tight auspicious window all at once is second nature after a thousand weddings behind the lens. We have photographed Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings across the country for more than two decades.

We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire. From our London base, Burnley and the rest of Lancashire are an easy, familiar journey.

Where we travel

Always where we need to be in Burnley

We travel happily across Lancashire and the surrounding counties for the whole celebration. We are glad to talk through your venues and the journeys between them when you first enquire, so the logistics are settled long before the day.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Burnley, frequently asked questions

Can you handle a baraat arrival with a horse or open car in Burnley?+

Absolutely. The baraat is one of the liveliest parts of the day, whether the groom arrives on a horse, in an open car or on foot amid dhol drummers through the streets of Burnley. We move with the procession to catch the dancing and the greeting, keeping our footing so no moment is lost.

Do you cover the baraat in Burnley?+

Yes, and it is one of the parts of a Burnley wedding we most enjoy. We capture the dhol, the dancing and the groom's arrival, along with the milni as the two families meet, with all of its energy.

Do you photograph the haldi or pithi ceremony?+

Yes. The haldi or pithi is a warm, joyful morning ritual where turmeric is applied to the couple, and it makes for wonderfully candid, colourful photographs. We keep back a little to let the family enjoy the fun freely, stepping in close only when the moment invites it.

Will you travel to Burnley for our wedding?+

We photograph weddings across Lancashire and throughout the UK, so travelling to Burnley 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.

Are you discreet during the ceremony?+

Very. We photograph the vows and the sacred rituals from a respectful distance with quiet, long-lens work, whatever the tradition, so the ceremony is never disturbed. Our documentary style means the day feels like yours, and we are a calm, unobtrusive presence throughout.

We are getting married in Burnley. Do you know the venues there?+

We work across Lancashire and travel throughout the UK, so we are likely familiar with the venues near Burnley, and we are always glad to learn a new one. If we have not photographed there before, we research the space and arrive early to plan our coverage.

How far in advance should I book for Burnley?+

Sooner rather than later. Because peak and auspicious dates book up well ahead across every tradition, an early enquiry is wise. Share your wedding date and the events you are planning, and we will confirm our availability straight away.
