Asian wedding photography for Dorking and the Surrey Hills
A wedding spread over three days and three buildings comes back looking like three different photographers unless somebody fixes the treatment before the first one starts. That decision belongs at the beginning, not in the edit. Around Dorking the rooms have very little in common: a vineyard estate outside the town resembles a hotel function room in no respect at all, and left to themselves they produce galleries that sit badly beside each other. Settle the look first and let the buildings vary underneath it.
The other half of a long wedding is the part nobody schedules. Between events people stop performing, and the pictures you end up keeping usually come from there. Ask every building what time it lets you in and what time it wants you gone, then find one quiet corner a day that we can borrow for ten minutes. Sunday Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel, Wotton House and Denbies Wine Estate are three wedding venues in and around Dorking.

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.
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.

Multi-Day Coverage
Every tradition
Blessings, vows and farewells across Mole Valley
Ceremonial authority shifts from tradition to tradition. In one family it rests with a person who speaks; in another with a volume that is carried in and seated; in a third with a document and the witnesses who sign it. This is not a theological observation but a camera position problem, because whatever holds the authority also holds the room's attention and defines the angle you must never block. We ask which it is before we ask anything about light.
After that, the differences matter less than couples expect. A canopy raised over a fire wants the same discipline as a hall where nobody may stand. A farewell is one photographic problem under any name: poor light, a car door, faces that will not repeat themselves. If your day turns on a vidaai, we are outside before the family is. If it turns on a signing, the table's light was found an hour earlier.
Why choose us
Planning several days around Dorking, one sequence at a time
What sits behind these frames is sequence. We know which ten minutes cannot ever be recovered and which whole hour can safely be given away. Across several days that becomes a plan you can actually keep, and somebody already in the correct doorway at the moment a room turns.
Whether the days run from a mehndi at home to a reception at Denbies Wine Estate or Wotton House, Kaushik Bathia photographs every one himself, drawing on work since 2001, five European Kodak Gold Awards and his FBIPP and FMPA fellowships.

Good to know
Asian weddings in Dorking, FAQs
Overruns are normal and we do not down tools on the stroke of a clock. Extra hours get agreed on the night and invoiced afterwards, never demanded mid-dance. Warn us in advance that you expect to overrun and it can simply be built in.
Because 25+ years of wedding work builds judgement, and that judgement travels with the photographer. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book, and for a Dorking wedding that quote covers every venue on your itinerary.
Yes. A run of days suits this work better than a single Saturday. Consecutive days let a single visual approach carry across every building, so the mehndi and the final farewell belong to the same set of pictures rather than looking like unrelated jobs.
As soon as your first date is settled. Booking several consecutive days blocks out a run of the diary rather than a lone afternoon, so those go earliest. If two venues are still under discussion, talk to us before you choose, not after.
Well enough that we are in position instead of reacting. We know when the circuits begin, how many follow, which direction the couple end up facing, and where the priest needs us not to be. Nothing gets missed for want of warning.
