The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across Greater London for over twenty five years, and couples in Greenford choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. During the pooja and the fire ceremony we work from the edges with longer lenses, keeping the priest, the flames and the vows undisturbed. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Greenford, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. 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 Greater London and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Greenford
Greenford is a west London suburb with a large South Asian community. We regularly photograph Asian weddings throughout Northolt, Perivale and Southall and the surrounding part of Greater London. At a Muslim nikah we photograph the vows, the mehr and the joyful moment the couple are declared married.
Multi-day weddings ask for stamina and planning, so we map the running order with you beforehand and pace ourselves to be sharp from the haldi to the last song. We are calm and unhurried, gathering the whole story without ever getting in the way. We capture the details too, the flowers, the jewellery, the mandap and the mehndi, that make your day yours.
From our London base we travel across Greater London for Asian weddings, and Greenford, a west London suburb with a large South Asian community, is a familiar destination. We also photograph in nearby Northolt and Feltham. Around Greenford we regularly photograph at Fairway Pavilion, West Middlesex Golf Club and Greenford Hall, among others.
Greenford is a suburb in the London Borough of Ealing with a large South Asian community. Greenford station on the Central line, with a Great Western branch connecting to the Elizabeth line at West Ealing. When there is time for couple portraits, Ravenor Park, Greenford's largest park and home to the annual July carnival is a favourite, and Horsenden Hill, one of the highest points in Ealing, on the edge of Greenford makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
The mehndi, haldi and sangeet, where the warmest, most natural moments often happen.
The colour and movement of a garba call for a photographer who can keep pace and stay inside the dance.
Beautifully bound albums and fine prints, designed around your favourite images.
Every tradition
The blessings of the elders close many ceremonies, and we capture them with warmth. At a Muslim nikah we photograph the vows, the mehr and the joyful moment the couple are declared married. The joining of hands, the knotting of the couple's garments and their first shared steps carry a marriage forward, and we document each stage as it comes.
The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings. 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. At the milni the two families meet and embrace, garlands are exchanged and the elders greet one another, and we record the warmth of that first joining.

The whole celebration
We arrive in good time for each pre-wedding event and stay until the celebrations wind down. The sangeet brings an evening of rehearsed dances and late-night music before the wedding day itself.
For a Muslim wedding the nikah and the walima may fall on the same day or separate ones, and we cover both. Feeding hundreds of guests takes time, and we use those stretches to photograph the generations at the tables, the elders resting and the children weaving between the chairs.
Why choose us
Award recognition matters less to us than the families who book us again for a sibling's wedding, though we are quietly proud of both. The recommendations that fill our diary come from families who felt understood rather than sold to, and who saw their traditions photographed with real respect.
Reaching your temple, gurdwara, mosque, mehndi and reception is our concern, not yours, wherever across the region they happen to fall. We photograph across Northolt, Perivale and Southall regularly, and returning to the county for a wedding feels less like travel and more like familiar ground.

Where we travel
We cover the whole of the UK for Asian weddings, so distance never stands in the way. From our London base, Greenford and the rest of Greater London are an easy, familiar journey.

Good to know
We do. An engagement or pre-wedding shoot lets you relax in front of the camera ahead of the celebration, and we are happy to set one up at a location you love.
Yes, and it is one of the parts of a Greenford wedding we most enjoy. We capture the dhol, the dancing and the groom's arrival, along with the milni as the two families meet, with all of its energy.
Very well. We recognise the key stages under the mandap, including the kanyadaan, the joining of hands, the pheras around the sacred fire and the sindoor. Because we anticipate these moments rather than react to them, your photographs feel calm and natural rather than staged.
Very much so. A mixed-faith wedding brings two sets of customs together, and we give each the attention and respect it deserves. We speak with both families beforehand to understand what matters most on either side, then plan the day so nobody feels their traditions were overlooked.
Ceremony halls and prayer rooms can be dimly lit, and we are used to it. We rely on fast lenses and careful technique to keep images clean and natural, avoiding harsh flash during sacred moments. Where a little light is needed for the reception, we use it discreetly.
Of course. We regularly photograph fusion and mixed-faith weddings, blending the traditions of both families with care and understanding. Having worked across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil ceremonies, we are well placed to tell the story of a day that brings two customs together.
Yes. We are familiar with Gujarati traditions, from the lively garba and dandiya evenings to the ceremony rituals and the playful games between the two families. Knowing these customs means we are ready with the camera when the fun and the meaningful moments arrive.
