Capturing Asian weddings in Glasgow

Asian weddings in Glasgow seldom fit within a single day or a single postcode. Two or three events, frequently three separate buildings, and a week during which nobody sleeps much. What survives into the album is often not the ceremonial material at all, but whatever happened between: a car, a corridor, somebody's mother adjusting a pleat seconds before a door opens.

Glasgow Central puts relatives from out of town into the centre without anybody hiring a car, and that arithmetic bites once three events run on consecutive days. Kelvingrove Park, which fills each year for the Glasgow Mela, gives you the one outdoor stretch in a week spent otherwise indoors. The venues recurring here are House for an Art Lover, Trades Hall of Glasgow, The Corinthian Club and Grand Central Hotel. What we ask of each is how long it takes to get everybody inside.

Every tradition

At home with every Asian wedding tradition

Every family treats one moment as the unmissable one, and the choice differs every time. For some it is a garland exchange lasting four seconds. For others everything hangs on a single reading, and the camera's job is pure invisibility while that reading is under way. Which one is yours gets asked before anything else, because the shape of the entire coverage follows from that answer.

Authority over a ceremony rests somewhere different from household to household, and that changes what we are permitted to do rather than what we might prefer. In one tradition an officiant tells us where to kneel. In another the family decides among themselves and nobody mentions it to the photographer. Either way, asking a week early and being told no beats taking a position on the day and then being moved off it in front of the room. Etiquette is harder than technique here.

Why choose us

How We Photograph Without Getting in the Way

Long lenses, soft shoes, and a spot decided on well before the seats fill. We do not stack lights around a ceremony floor or ask anybody to repeat anything for the camera. If you can tell afterwards where we were standing during the important part, we have done it badly.

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings since 2001, more than a thousand of them, and holds five European Gold awards alongside FBIPP and FMPA fellowships.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Glasgow, FAQs

Can you handle a baraat arrival with a horse or open car in Glasgow?+

Yes. Both need us in place well before the procession reaches the door, and a horse needs more distance than people expect. Tell us the approach route in Glasgow beforehand and we will pick a spot rather than walking backwards.

Can you photograph a fusion or mixed-faith wedding?+

Often, yes, and what makes it interesting is the negotiation between two families rather than the ceremonies themselves. Both sides are asked separately what counts as non-negotiable for them. The answers rarely match, and it is better to know.

Do you know the order of rituals for each faith?+

Well enough to anticipate rather than react, and your family's own version still gets confirmed beforehand. Regional practice varies enormously, and assuming a running order out of a book leaves photographers facing the wrong way.

Are you experienced with Tamil and South Indian weddings?+

We are indeed. The muhurtham, the moment the thali is tied and the wealth of rituals within a Tamil or South Indian ceremony are all within our reach, as are the characteristically early start times and the order they follow, which keeps us perfectly placed throughout. Landmarks we can work with near Glasgow include George Square, the principal civic square, overlooked by the City Chambers.

How far in advance should I book for Glasgow?+

Sooner for multi-day weddings than for single days, because holding three dates is harder than holding one. Summer Saturdays in Glasgow go first. If the date is fixed, ask early even where the venues are not settled yet.
