Serving Chalfont St Giles
An Asian wedding in a Chilterns village
Three days across three buildings is one commission; a single long Saturday is quite another. Chiltern Open Air Museum is the village's only venue on the council's approved list, so a multi-day celebration here would likely borrow a room elsewhere as well, and the story would then run across places instead of inside one. What holds it together is not the ceremonies. Those look after themselves. It is the hour before each of them, and the hour afterwards, when nobody is performing for anyone.
That is where the quieter work happens. A father rehearsing a speech in an empty corridor, two aunts disagreeing about a garland, somebody asleep in a parked car: those frames need no rig and no permission, only a person present who is not busy setting up. Somebody asleep in a parked car. A photographer who vanishes for forty minutes between events costs you that hour permanently, and no amount of ceremony coverage buys it back.

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.
Kaushik photographed out wedding on september last year. He was so professional and was great with everyone making them laugh before taking all the snaps. We really couldn't have asked for more he worked hard all day to get the best pictures. We are very pleased with all the pictures and love the photo album. We will differently be using you again in the future Thank you!
Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.
What we offer
Asian wedding coverage in Chalfont St Giles
The Reception
Multi-Day Coverage
Every tradition
Temple, gurdwara or mosque: asking permission first
Traditions do not agree about who holds authority over a camera, and settling that question is most of our preparation. Sometimes the officiant rules on it. Sometimes a grandparent does, and everyone defers. Sometimes nobody has ever been asked, so a ruling gets improvised while a hundred guests watch it happen. We establish which situation we are entering days beforehand, in a phone call nobody much enjoys making.
The practical rule is one question per building rather than one policy covering all of them. Where may we stand? Which parts always stay unphotographed? Who is entitled to say yes? A family whose day turns on the laavan needs one thing from us. A family whose real centre is the mehndi evening needs something else entirely. Neither wants a photographer who assumed. Where your two sides come from different traditions, expect us to ask both, separately, and write the answers down.
Why choose us
Why we learn your running order before the day
Because you cannot photograph what you failed to see coming. A blessing lasting eleven seconds gives no warning and grants no retake. Recognising its shape as it starts separates a picture from an apology afterwards. That recognition is not talent. It is the product of having asked, in advance, what happens next.
Behind the camera is Kaushik Bathia, who opened his Northwood studio in 2001, a Fellow of both the BIPP and the MPA and a winner of five European Kodak Gold Awards, and he plans a Chalfont St Giles celebration event by event, from the mehndi to the reception.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Chalfont St Giles, FAQs
A preview reaches you within days, so something exists to share while the week is still running. The full edited set takes considerably longer, because four days of events produce a volume no honest editor rushes through.
Yes, and such days can be among the most interesting to photograph. The work is diplomatic before it is photographic: two sets of expectations, one running order, and somebody has to have asked both families what they will not bend on.
Count events, not hours. One ceremony followed by a dinner makes a straightforward day. Add an evening beforehand, then a reception in a second building, and you are into two photographers and a schedule written jointly.
Yes, and both repay booking. Evenings before the wedding are unguarded in a way the wedding itself never manages, and they give a finished album its opening chapter instead of a handful of extras.
Yes, and they finish faster when somebody has written the combinations down and an aunt who recognises everyone is standing beside us. Give us those two things, name the spot you would like used, and the whole business ends before anybody starts thinking about lunch.
