Serving East Ham
A wedding week across East Ham, from Barking Road to High Street North
Ceremonies are the easy half of a multi-day wedding. Every one of them has a place, an hour and somebody in charge. The set falls apart in the joins instead: an hour in a corridor while cars are found, an outfit change that went unrecorded, a grandmother who was in the building only on the Friday. We give those joins the same planning as the events, because a week either reads as one story or breaks into four unrelated galleries.
Venues in and near East Ham include East Ham Town Hall, The Royal Regency on High Street North and, in nearby Ilford, Crown Banqueting Suite. Banqueting halls, listed ballrooms and civic rooms each behave differently for a camera. Before signing anywhere, ask two things: what happens to afternoon daylight in the main room, and whether forty people can be stood together somewhere outside it.

Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!
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.
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.
What we offer
Asian wedding coverage in East Ham
The Vidaai
A Second Photographer
Every tradition
Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Tamil and Gujarati ceremonies, each on its own terms
No two families hand a photographer the same brief. In one household the whole week bends around a fire lit indoors before noon. In another, authority rests with an institution, and its building is not ours to change, so the work becomes fitting ourselves to its rules. In a third the binding moment is spoken aloud with two witnesses listening and over inside a minute. Which of those fits your family is the question we open with, and the whole plan grows outward from what you say.
Language matters more on a wedding day than many couples expect. A ceremony conducted in Tamil moves to a different rhythm from one conducted in Gujarati, and where the words are unfamiliar we would watch the officiant's hands instead, which gives a few seconds of warning. Those seconds decide whether you get the moment or the frame immediately after it, and nobody on a wedding day offers a second take.
Why choose us
Calm, experienced coverage in East Ham
Calm is not temperament. It is preparation. Before the first event we know your running order, the names of the four people who genuinely decide things, and our standing positions for the three moments nobody can repeat. Nothing after that needs a raised voice or another question to you.
Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, holder of five European Kodak Gold Awards and running the Northwood studio since 2001, photographs every East Ham commission himself.

Good to know
Asian weddings in East Ham, FAQs
Warm-weather Saturdays go first, and covering several days takes more out of a calendar than covering one. For a multi-day wedding in East Ham, booking a year to eighteen months ahead gives the widest choice of dates. Less than that is not hopeless, merely narrower.
Yes. The finished set lives in an online gallery, one link forwards to anyone, and relatives abroad download full-size files without registering for anything. We hold the originals afterwards, so asking again in two years is fine.
Any of them, though honestly the tradition matters less than the particular family. Tell us what your day turns on, then send the timings. Anything unfamiliar gets checked with your officiant rather than assumed.
Yes, once it starts. No direction from us, nothing repeated for a camera, and positions settled with you beforehand, so nobody present is tracking where the photographer will move next. What guests notice is indecision, not equipment.
Yes, and those pictures can be among the best of the week. The house is fuller, the clothes are simpler and no one is counting the hours. If your week moves between several buildings, say so early enough that one team covers all of it.
