Serving Cheltenham
Asian wedding photography in Cheltenham
Three buildings over a long weekend is not a single job repeated three times; it is three jobs with a fragile join. Multi-day weddings fail at the join far more often than anywhere else. The risks are cards still unloaded at two in the morning, a battery charger left in the wrong postcode, and a look established on Friday that quietly drifts by Sunday. Those get handled beforehand; once day two begins there is no room left to handle them.
Cheltenham adds a wrinkle of its own. If your families end up spread between Prestbury, Winchcombe and Tewkesbury rather than under one roof, the consequence is direct: preparations begin in two places at the same hour. One photographer cannot be at both, so either we send two from the start or you accept that one morning gets picked up late. Decide that when you book. Licensed venues around Cheltenham include Cowley Manor, Manor by the Lake, No.38 The Park and Ellenborough Park.

…Kaushik is incredibly talented, artistic, and truly gifted with a photographer’s vision. He knows exactly what he wants each frame to look like and how to get the best out of his subjects. Honestly, there were moments during the shoot when I’d wonder, “What is he making me do?” – but when I saw the final shots, I was blown away. Every image looked beautiful, intentional, and natural.
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!
The Owner is very friendly and professional. I have been using Mr Bathia for over 15 years and have seen him through multiple family weddings.
What we offer
Asian wedding coverage in Cheltenham
The Baraat
Pre-Wedding Events
Every tradition
However your wedding week is built
These weeks are never built alike. One family hangs the whole structure on an anand karaj, then fills the days either side with hospitality. Another family puts the weight into an evening carrying no religious content whatsoever. Knowing which yours is matters early, since it governs the second photographer more than it governs what we pack. A sangeet is, first and last, a lighting problem.
A mehndi is a patience problem instead, and rushing it produces nothing. The morning of a baraat is a crowd problem, solved by walking backwards and knowing the route beforehand. What links them is continuity: the same colour approach held across every day, so your gallery does not read as three unrelated shoots stitched together. We settle it during the first evening and do not drift from it, however different the rooms and their light turn out to be from one day to the next.
Why choose us
Dependable coverage across a Cheltenham wedding week
Across several days you want the dull virtues rather than the flashy ones. That means turning up early, staying to the end, carrying spares of everything, and remembering on Sunday what was agreed on Thursday. We plan the whole run as one piece of work, and the same faces do all of it. That part actually shows.
Every Cheltenham booking is photographed by Kaushik Bathia in person, who set up the studio in 2001 and holds five European Kodak Gold Awards alongside his FBIPP and FMPA.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Cheltenham, FAQs
Yes, and carefully. It is the most emotional few minutes of the whole week, so we keep our distance, stay long, and use no flash. Nothing is arranged, nothing is repeated, and nobody gets asked to turn round.
Gladly. Forty guests in one room is a different craft, not a lesser one, and often a better set of photographs because you can actually see who everybody is. Often one of us is enough.
Yes. An hour of practice under a lens pays for itself on the wedding day, and it lets us learn how you both stand. Late afternoon light suits both Montpellier Gardens and Pittville Park.
Whoever runs the building hears from us first, and we work to their rules rather than ours. We agree which spots are ours, what is expected on feet and heads, and whether flash is acceptable at all. All of it is settled by phone before anybody arrives.
Send the date over early and we can pencil it in while a venue gets chosen. The date is fixed and the building is what can change, so we work in that order too.
