The short answer

Your Asian wedding photographer in Glasgow, 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 Glasgow and across Scotland. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the glances as well as the rituals. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Glasgow, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from intimate ceremonies to several hundred guests. A second photographer, a female photographer for segregated events and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Scotland and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Serving Glasgow

Capturing Asian weddings in Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, with a vibrant South Asian community and grand venues. We are as at ease in a small community temple as in a five-hundred-cover banqueting suite, throughout Pollokshields, Govanhill and the West End and the rest of Scotland. We work in the background of the priest, the granthi or the imam, reading their rhythm so the ceremony flows without a photographer in the way.

A second photographer means we can be at the mandap and with the guests at once, so the reactions in the room are held alongside the ritual at the front. We follow your family's customs closely and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We read the rhythm of an Asian celebration and are always in the right place at the right time.

Whether your celebration is in Glasgow itself or elsewhere in Scotland, we plan travel and timings with care. Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, with a vibrant South Asian community and grand venues. We also photograph in nearby Edinburgh and Dundee. Venues we know well in and near Glasgow include The Corinthian Club, Grand Central Hotel and Trades Hall of Glasgow.

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city with a vibrant South Asian community, and Kelvingrove Park hosts the Glasgow Mela, one of Scotland's biggest South Asian festivals. Glasgow Central is a major railway station and transport hub in the city centre. We often take couples to Kelvingrove Park, with the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum nearby for a few quiet portraits, and George Square, the principal civic square, overlooked by the City Chambers is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

What is included in your Glasgow Asian wedding coverage

Nikah Coverage

We photograph the signing, the vows and the quiet words between families with the care the ceremony calls for.

Muslim Weddings

The dignity of the nikah and the warmth of the walima, sensitively photographed.

Mehndi & Sangeet

The henna, the music and the family performances all deserve proper coverage, and we hold each evening as its own event.

Every tradition

At home with every Asian wedding tradition

A nikah turns on the giving of consent, the mehr and the signing of the contract, and we record each with the dignity the occasion carries. The muhurat and muhurtham, the auspicious hours, set the pace of the ceremony, and we plan around them. 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.

We capture the family moments around the couple, not just the rituals. The reception is the joyful finale, with speeches, the first dance and the bhangra. The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings.

The whole celebration

The shape of your wedding in Glasgow

We can join you for a single event or follow the whole journey from the very first ritual. The first day of a wedding often sets the whole mood, and we treat the sangeet rehearsals and family songs with the same care we give the vows themselves.

We know the order and timing of each tradition's wedding day, so we are always in position. Between the ceremony and the reception there is often a great deal of waiting, and we use that time well, gathering portraits and quiet family moments while the room resets.

Why choose us

How We Photograph Without Getting in the Way

You want a photographer who reads the day instinctively, and instinct like that is simply what twenty-five years of Asian weddings leaves behind. Photographing Asian weddings for a quarter of a century has taught us the shape of each faith's day, so we anticipate every ritual rather than react to it.

We cover Scotland and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request. We are London-based and travel across Scotland and the wider region for Asian weddings.

Where we travel

Wherever Your Venue Sits in Scotland, We Travel to You

Reaching your temple, gurdwara, mosque, mehndi and reception is our concern, not yours, wherever across the region they happen to fall. We factor in travel and timings carefully, so we are always where we need to be.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Glasgow, frequently asked questions

Will you travel to Glasgow for our wedding?+

Of course. Glasgow is well within reach for us, since we cover weddings right across the country from our base near London. Distance is rarely an obstacle. Let us know where and when you are marrying, and we will confirm the details, along with any travel, in writing.

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

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.

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

We certainly do. Twenty-five years spent among Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings have made the sequence of each tradition entirely familiar, so we are always in position for the moments that carry the most meaning, never caught out by what comes next.

Do you cover Muslim nikah and walima ceremonies?+

Certainly. The nikah, the signing of the contract and the giving of the mehr are photographed with due dignity, as is the warmth of the walima that follows. We remain respectful of your family's customs throughout and provide further photographers should the events take place separately.

How far in advance should I book for Glasgow?+

The earlier, the better. Because busy and auspicious dates are claimed long in advance whatever the faith, getting in touch early is the wise move. Let us know your date and the events you are planning, and we will let you know our availability straight away.

Can you cover a Gujarati wedding with its particular customs?+

Yes. Gujarati traditions are well known to us, from the spirited garba and dandiya evenings through to the ceremony rituals and the playful games shared between the two families. Our familiarity with these customs keeps us ready, camera in hand, as both the fun and the tender moments arrive.

We are planning a three-day celebration in Glasgow. Can you cover every event?+

Yes. Many Asian weddings run across several days, from the mehndi and sangeet through to the main ceremony and reception, and we are happy to cover the full sequence in Glasgow. We agree the schedule with you in advance so nothing important is missed, and a second photographer joins for the busier days.
