The short answer

Your Asian wedding photographer in Edinburgh, at a glance

An award winning, London based Asian wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings in Edinburgh and across Scotland. We treat the gurdwara, the mandir and the mosque with the respect each deserves, dressing and moving to suit the space and its customs. Whether your wedding in Edinburgh is Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim, Tamil or a fusion of traditions, we know the order of each faith's rituals and cover the whole celebration. Our experience runs deep across Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Punjabi, Muslim and Tamil weddings. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Scotland and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.

Serving Edinburgh

Beautiful Asian wedding photography in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is Scotland's historic capital, with elegant venues. We are used to multi-venue days throughout Scotland, moving smoothly between Leith, Morningside and Portobello. We keep our distance during the most solemn moments and step in only for the joyful ones.

We bring a long lens and a light touch, so the most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance. When the baraat arrives with drums and dancing we are in the thick of it, moving with the crowd so the welcome looks and feels exactly as loud as it was. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the glances as well as the rituals.

Edinburgh is Scotland's historic capital, with elegant venues, and we know its venues and its approaches well from photographing Asian weddings here over many years. We are often just along the road in Dundee and Aberdeen too. Venues we have photographed at near Edinburgh include The Balmoral, Virgin Hotels Edinburgh and Cheval The Edinburgh Grand.

Edinburgh is Scotland's historic capital, with an Old Town and New Town divided by the green valley of Princes Street Gardens. Edinburgh Waverley is the city's main railway station and the busiest transport hub in Scotland. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Princes Street Gardens, the largest city park in the centre, in the shadow of the castle, with Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat nearby, and Edinburgh Castle, the fortress overlooking Princes Street Gardens gives the day a strong sense of Edinburgh.

Every tradition

Every tradition, photographed with care

For Sikh couples, the Anand Karaj and the four laavan in the gurdwara are the heart of the day, photographed with the calm the Guru Granth Sahib deserves. The blessings of parents and elders draw many ceremonies to a close, hands resting on heads in benediction, and we hold those tender moments gently. We know the order of the rituals in each tradition, so we are always in position.

The mehndi or henna night is intimate and detailed, and we photograph both the henna and the laughter around it. 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 groom may arrive on horseback, by car or on foot, and whichever way he comes, we are ready for the procession and the dancing around him.

The whole celebration

Coverage That Spans Your Entire Multi-Day Wedding

We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations. The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration.

Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue. We always recommend a little time for couple portraits, often at golden hour, away from the bustle.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Edinburgh, frequently asked questions

Respectfully, and always mindful of the space. Shoes come off, heads are covered where custom asks, and we keep clear of spots we ought not to enter. Familiarity with how a mandir or gurdwara operates helps us locate discreet positions, so we record the day without disturbing it.

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.

Absolutely. Bringing two traditions under one celebration calls for genuine sensitivity, and we honour each with equal respect. Conversations with both families beforehand help us grasp what counts most on either side, so the day is arranged with every important custom given its rightful place.

We can, and always do. The nikah and walima are captured with careful respect for your traditions, and we keep a discreet presence during the contract signing and the vows. Should the day be segregated, a female photographer can be arranged so all your guests remain completely comfortable.

We design hand-finished, fine-art albums intended to be kept for generations, with substantial pages and archival printing worthy of an Asian wedding's richness. After laying the story out across your days, we show you a proof before printing, so every spread honours your celebration and your family.

Certainly. Large weddings are only part of what we do, so an intimate nikah, an engagement among family or a registry ceremony followed by a quiet get-together are all warmly welcome. The scale makes no difference to the documentary care we bring to your day.

Of course. Because we have covered Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil ceremonies, uniting two sets of customs in one narrative comes naturally to us. We photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings often, honouring the traditions of both families thoughtfully and with genuine understanding.
