Serving Burton upon Trent

Planning an Asian wedding week in Burton upon Trent

Several days of celebration are not five separate weddings, and they are not one wedding either. The difficulty is never the event; it is the half hour before it and the half hour after. You cross from a bedroom to a car to a hotel foyer to a hall, and the light changes at every threshold without warning. A photographer who resets from scratch each time is behind for the opening minutes of everything.

So we plan the week as a single exposure problem rather than five bookings. Decide early which night carries the most people, since that one earns a second photographer. Preparations in a village house and a reception in town make two jobs, billed as one week. Venue options nearby include The Riverside Hotel and Dovecliff Hall Hotel at Stretton. For portraits between events, Stapenhill Gardens or Branston Water Park would both work.

Every tradition

Each family's customs, agreed before the first event

Which relative holds ceremonial authority differs from one household to the next, and finding the person who can say yes is the first task of the week. One household will build its whole week around a mandap; the next will put its weight somewhere else entirely. Asking which yours is takes one conversation, and it ends the guessing. We ask for that answer months out, not in the car park on day one.

The opening night is both the first event and the darkest room of the week, so it sets the tone. By the last afternoon everybody is tired, and tired is when the honest pictures start. A baraat is outdoors and it is moving, so we split it: somebody in front of the procession, somebody inside the doorway. Between all of that sit the hours nobody photographs: the drive, the changes of clothes, the sitting about. Those hours are where a week of pictures turns into a story rather than five galleries.

Why choose us

How we would work at your Burton upon Trent wedding

We work in pairs and we work quietly. Nobody gets directed through a rite, nobody repeats a moment for the camera, and the loudest thing we bring into a room is a shutter. What you get back is a week that reads in order, edited to one tone from the first night to the last car door.

Whether the reception is at Dovecliff Hall Hotel or The Riverside Hotel, the photographer is Kaushik Bathia himself, FBIPP and FMPA, with five European Kodak Gold Awards and a studio established in 2001.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Burton upon Trent, FAQs

A finish time gets agreed, and so does what happens when it slips, because it usually slips. Hours can be added on the night. What will never happen is a camera bag closing mid-speech.

Yes, and it costs less as one booking than as three. More usefully, it is better work: one team across three days knows the families by the second morning and stops asking who anybody is.

Absolutely. Whatever the faith, we photograph the vows from a respectful distance with long lenses, so nobody's view of the ceremony is interrupted. In a room like the ceremony room at Burton Registration Office, which holds up to 50 people including the couple, officiants and photographers, that restraint matters, so we keep to the edges and the day stays yours.

Yes. It is a moving subject outdoors: one of us leads the procession, the other holds the doorway it is heading for. Tell us the route beforehand, and whether the animal is used to drums.

Yes, with pleasure. We can comfortably bring two traditions together into one story, whether Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati or Tamil. We plan each family's customs with you and merge them with care and sensitivity.
