Serving Chester
Planning an Asian wedding across Chester and Cheshire
Four wedding evenings are not one job repeated four times over. Each evening brings its own building, its own crowd and its own light, and the version of you who arrives on the last day is not the one who arrived on the first. Venues around Chester range from Old Palace Chester and Crabwall Manor Hotel to DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester and Peckforton Castle. What alters between such places is not the ceremony but the ceiling: an old city interior, a stone hall, a suite built for conferences, each setting a different problem before anybody thinks about lighting.
The unguarded hours are the ones between events. A grandmother laughing in a corridor while the room behind her is reset, cousins eating at eleven at night, a father who has finally sat down. Frames like those are why a multi-day set holds together, and they exist only if somebody is still there once the formal part ends. Send us the whole schedule, including the parts you assume are not worth covering.

A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.
We were delighted with Kaushik being our wedding photographer. He was organised and professional and kept everything stress free. He took some great photos and produced a memorable wedding album. Highly recommended.
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.

Grand Entrances
Every tradition
Honouring every faith's customs
Every family keeps one person whose nod actually starts things, and it is rarely the person named on the invitation. Sometimes a priest, sometimes an aunt, sometimes whoever is holding the microphone. We find them inside the first hour and watch them, because they know what comes next and the printed schedule does not. That habit beats any list of rituals, because customs differ from one household to another even inside a single tradition, and a photographer working from an assumption will be standing in the wrong place at the only moment that mattered.
For one family everything narrows to a single fast moment under a canopy. For another the weight sits in a hymn sung while nobody moves at all, which must be earned from the rear of a hall, not from close in. A third finds it at a side table, in a signature. We ask where yours sits, and we plan the hours around it.
Why choose us
Pacing a Chester wedding week from first night to last
Long celebrations reward stamina over flourish. We pace ourselves, eat when you eat, keep spare bodies and batteries charging in the car, and give the fourth night the attention we gave the first. By then we know your relatives by name and know where each of them stands, which is the only genuine advantage anybody brings to a wedding.
Every event of a Chester celebration, from a mehndi in a family home to a reception at a hotel such as The Chester Grosvenor, would be photographed by Kaushik Bathia himself, a Fellow of the BIPP and the MPA with five European Kodak Gold Awards, working since 2001.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Chester, FAQs
Yes, and smaller ones often photograph better. Thirty people in a front room, an engagement lunch, one evening of music at home: less staging, more faces, nobody performing for a crowd. Cover is priced by hours, not by headcount.
We agree a finishing time and then treat it loosely. If the dancing has not begun when we were due to go, another hour is usually simple to arrange on the night. What we will not do is disappear halfway through a celebration.
Wide apertures, a sensor pushed hard, and grain accepted instead of a room blasted with flash. Where our own light is welcome, we bounce it off a wall behind us so the source stays invisible and nobody is dazzled mid-conversation.
Yes. Settle in advance where it stops and the direction it will face, because an arrival shot into the sun cannot be rescued afterwards. Ten minutes of planning with whoever organises it in Chester takes care of the entire sequence.
Yes, and both sides get asked what matters to them rather than being guessed at from a surname. When two sets of customs share one day, the danger is that one ends up with less room. The hours are planned to stop that.
