Asian Wedding Photographer Havering

Serving Havering

Several Days, Several Venues, One Havering Album

Three or four events, several days apart, in buildings with no relationship to one another. One album has to hold the lot regardless. Colour therefore becomes an early decision rather than a late one: a gold-lit hall on the Friday sits badly next to a grey garden on the Sunday unless the whole set was planned to one look before any of it was shot. Decide that at the start, not in the edit.

Havering is unusually accommodating for this. Rural ground at the borough's northern end supplies one sort of background, the market streets supply something else entirely, and both are reachable inside a single afternoon, so variety does not cost you a coach. The undecided piece is usually the gap between events: which hour on which day is genuinely yours for portraits, and who has the right to interrupt 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!

Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.

Every tradition

From the Mehndi Evening to the Reception in Havering

No family runs an identical version. The useful thing to pin down is where authority sits on each day, not which rites appear. One person decides when the baraat moves. A different person decides when the food goes out. They are rarely the same and rarely in the same room. We establish who they are on the planning call, because whatever those two agree on becomes the timetable, and anyone shooting from a printed sheet is already a step behind.

What ends up mattering is usually not the ceremonial material. It happens in the twenty minutes between things: a grandmother sitting down, a brother fixing a turban in a corridor, the lull before a mehndi evening properly begins. None of that repeats, and no one can book it in advance, so we keep working through the stretches that look like nothing at all. Coverage starting when the ceremony starts loses the bulk of what you will want in ten years.

Why choose us

What planning an Asian wedding in Havering with us looks like

The aim is that nothing needs explaining twice. Send a running order for each event and say which ones your parents care about most, and coverage is weighted towards those rather than spread thinly over all of them. The heaviest day is the one to consider doubling up on.

Kaushik Bathia, established 2001, holds FBIPP and FMPA fellowships and five European Kodak Gold Awards; for a Havering celebration that might run from a mehndi at home to a reception at The City Pavilion on Collier Row Road, which hosts weddings, receptions and mehndi events from 300 guests, he plans the coverage of each day with you.

Asian weddings in Havering, FAQs

Do you cover Muslim nikah and walima ceremonies?+

Yes. Both are ordinary parts of our work, booked singly or together. Say whether both land on one date or fall a week apart, because that changes how the coverage is assembled and what it needs to include.

How do you keep up with such a fast, packed wedding day?+

By knowing the order beforehand and by not chasing. Most of the speed is predictable if you have read the schedule, so we position early and let events arrive rather than running after them. Fitness helps; preparation helps more.

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

Yes. An arrival like that needs someone ahead of it and someone behind it, so it is worth adding a second shooter. Tell us the approach road in Havering plus the stopping point, and the angles get worked out ahead of the day.

Will you photograph the vidaai or bride's farewell?+

Yes, and quietly. It is the moment a lens pushed into someone's face becomes genuinely unwelcome, so we work long and hold back. The pictures arrive without anybody recalling that we stood there.

Do you photograph the reception and the entertainment afterwards?+

Yes. Evening coverage continues for however many hours you booked, performances and dancing included. Darkness is not the problem; stage lighting is. Tell us what is planned and we bring what suits it.
