The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across the West Midlands for over twenty five years, and couples in Coventry choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. For a Sikh anand karaj we keep our distance during the laavan, photographing the ragis and the family without a single interruption to the prayer. From the mehndi and sangeet to the baraat, the ceremony and the reception, we photograph every part of an Asian wedding in and around Coventry with knowledge and care. We back up every image on the day as we shoot, carry spare equipment to each event, and have never once left a family without their photographs. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across the West Midlands and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Coventry
Coventry is a Midlands city with a large South Asian community and many banqueting halls. Couples throughout Foleshill, Earlsdon and Bedworth trust us with ceremonies in their family's place of worship and receptions in the county's largest venues alike. For Gujarati families we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras and photograph each as you keep it.
We follow your family's customs closely and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We shoot the getting-ready hours as a story of anticipation, from the jewellery going on to the last look in the mirror before the ceremony. We arrive early, stay late and keep pace with every part of the celebration.
Wherever your venues sit across Coventry and the towns beyond it, we plan the route with care. Coventry is a Midlands city with a large South Asian community and many banqueting halls, and we know it, Wolverhampton and Solihull alike. Coventry and the towns around it offer venues such as Windmill Village Hotel, Royal Court Hotel and Coombe Abbey, all familiar to us.
Coventry was UK City of Culture 2021 and has a large, long established South Asian community around Foleshill. Coventry railway station sits on the West Coast Main Line, and the city is ringed by the M6, M69 and M45. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Coventry War Memorial Park and the grounds of the Charterhouse, with Coventry Cathedral, with its preserved medieval ruins beside the modern Basil Spence cathedral close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
Your day is finished in a handcrafted album, printed and bound to last, so the story lives somewhere real.
The dhol, the dancing and the groom's joyful arrival, photographed with all of its energy.
Discreet coverage of the Anand Karaj and the laavan in the gurdwara.
Every tradition
When the couple rise as husband and wife and turn to their families, we are already facing them, ready for the smiles that follow the solemnity. The garland exchange, when the couple meet with the jaimala, is a moment of pure joy we love to photograph. The most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens.
We are glad to cover a single evening or a long weekend of celebrations, shaping our hours around the events your family holds dearest. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration. The mehndi evening is close and detailed, henna curling across the bride's hands while the room fills with song, and we photograph the artistry and the laughter alike.

The whole celebration
The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration. Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them.
A full day of rituals can stretch for hours, so we pace ourselves and pace our coverage, making sure the energy at midnight is as sharp as it was at dawn. Whether the ceremony and reception are on the same day or spread across a weekend, we plan for it.
Why choose us
Decades of early muhurat starts and late reception finishes have made us calm under pressure, whatever the tradition and however large the guest list. We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from intimate ceremonies to several hundred guests.
Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the timings in advance. We would rather arrive early and wait than keep you waiting, so we allow generous time for the drive to and around the West Midlands.

Where we travel
From London we reach Coventry easily, and we know the venues of the West Midlands well. We cover the Midlands and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request.

Good to know
Yes. We work regularly in the larger banqueting halls that host Asian weddings, and covering an event at a venue in Coventry is something we are glad to do. Wherever possible we like to know the room beforehand, so we can plan for its lighting and the scale of the day.
We stay a step ahead. After a thousand weddings and more, reading the pace of a busy Asian day is second nature, so we are ready and in place as each moment arrives. A second shooter takes a different vantage point when things get hectic, so every key detail is safely captured.
Late nights are part and parcel of an Asian reception, and our coverage is built to carry through to the moments you care about most. We settle a finishing time together beforehand, and should the celebration run over, we will always talk through the options with you rather than quietly packing up.
Very well indeed. The stages beneath the mandap are familiar to us, the kanyadaan, the joined hands, the pheras circling the sacred fire and the sindoor among them. Because we see these moments coming, our photographs carry a natural calm rather than any sense of being staged.
Yes, and the variety of a fusion day is something we genuinely relish. Whether you are pairing a Hindu ceremony with a civil service, or bringing Sikh and Muslim families together, we honour the customs of each side and map out the timeline carefully so both traditions receive equal care and attention.
Yes. We photograph the nikah and walima with care for the customs of the day, working discreetly during the signing of the contract and the exchange of vows. Where the celebration is segregated, we can arrange a female photographer so guests feel entirely comfortable throughout.
Yes, very much so. We photograph the muhurtham, the tying of the thali and the many rituals that shape a Tamil or South Indian wedding, and we understand both their early timings and the sequence in which they unfold, so we are always ready at the right moment.
