Serving Canterbury
Planning an Asian wedding week around Canterbury
Three days of wedding is not one day made longer. It is three rooms, three lighting situations and three separate jobs, and what usually fails is the join between them. A hall lit by fluorescent tubes and a barn lit by tungsten yield galleries that look like two unrelated weddings unless somebody fixes a reference and holds every day to it. With that reference settled at the outset, the finished gallery holds together as one continuous week.
Plan the gaps as carefully as the events. Relatives who arrive early may stay some way from the venue, so the mornings before each function are full of people who will not all stand in one place again. Those hours cost little to cover and produce the frames families keep longest. Tell us where everybody is staying and we would build the schedule around the house as well as the hall. Venues in and around the city include ABode Canterbury, Canterbury Cathedral Lodge and The Old Kent Barn at Swingfield.

Kaushik has created the perfect wedding albums for us to share with our loved ones forever, the family love them and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond our expectations. A true professional, great communication and an understanding individual throughout the whole process. Thank you!!!
Thank you for capturing our special day so well and creating beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We love our stunning wedding album! You took the time to get to know us from the pre-shoot right up until the wedding day and made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we had a lot of fun along the way especially with your silly little jokes to get us to laugh!
…Kaushik's work is fantastic and he took so much stress out of our special day. He and his team are highly professional, fun and friendly and work with you to capture the shots that you want. He captured some amazing moments of both us and our guests, some natural, some posed but all truly wonderful. We were blown away by our albums and videos and have no hesitation in recommending him to our family and friends.
What we offer
Asian wedding coverage in Canterbury
Portraits That Last
Couple Portraits
Every tradition
Every tradition, beautifully told
Whoever leads the ceremony sets a tempo without ever saying so out loud, so we learn the shape of your particular service beforehand and follow the officiant rather than a printed running order. Tell us how your family runs it, because no two families run it identically, whatever a textbook claims. Once the sequence is understood, a camera can be in position for a moment instead of arriving just after it.
An open fire in the room makes the camera come close and tolerate smoke on the front element. Put a signed document there instead and it becomes a steep angle and clean light across a table. A sangeet needs neither, only somebody who can tell which aunt is about to move. Tell us which of those your week holds, and the kit follows from your answer rather than from a van holding one of everything.
Why choose us
Why one team suits a Canterbury wedding week
Multi-day work rewards stamina and a short memory for being tired. We turn up knowing what happened the day before, so today's pictures build on it instead of repeating it. Two of us across the busy days, one across the quiet ones, and the same pair throughout, so nobody spends the week being introduced to a stranger.
Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings since 2001, holds five European Kodak Gold Awards along with FBIPP and FMPA fellowships, and would be there in person for each day of a Canterbury celebration.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Canterbury, FAQs
Yes. More usefully, each family gets asked on its own what actually matters, because the two answers are rarely identical. One side never ends up as the ceremony while the other becomes decoration.
Yes. Your Canterbury gallery sits behind a private link, which opens in any country with a connection, downloads at full resolution, and does not expire after a month. Relatives abroad need no account and no software.
Yes, once permission is in place. You make the introduction, then positions and restrictions get agreed directly with whoever manages the building, weeks ahead of anybody arriving. Nothing about it needs settling on the day itself.
Yes, and it is quoted once, as a single engagement instead of a set of separate ones. Consecutive days stay consistent more easily than days booked apart, because the same people, the same lenses and the same colour reference carry across all of them.
By knowing what comes next. Two of us work the crowded hours, we take food when you do, and we carry a spare body rather than change lenses at the wrong moment. Fatigue is a planning failure.
