The short answer
For couples marrying in High Wycombe, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning Asian wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience across every tradition and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. Fusion weddings that blend two faiths get double the attention, and we make sure both sets of rituals are honoured fully in the coverage and the album. Whether your wedding in High Wycombe 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. We arrive with two camera bodies, spare lenses and duplicate memory cards, because a wedding gives you no second chance and we take that responsibility seriously. A second photographer, a female photographer for segregated events and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Buckinghamshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving High Wycombe
High Wycombe is a Chilterns town with a large South Asian community and several banqueting venues. Families throughout Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham bring us into their gurdwaras, mosques and banqueting halls, and we treat each setting with the respect it is due. As the sindoor is applied and the mangalsutra tied, a Hindu marriage is complete, and we are ready for both of those small, fast gestures.
We photograph the sacred and the joyful with equal care, the vows as faithfully as the bhangra. During the pooja and the fire ceremony we work from the edges with longer lenses, keeping the priest, the flames and the vows undisturbed. We take the time beforehand to understand your customs and the order of your events.
We travel throughout Buckinghamshire for temple, gurdwara and mosque ceremonies, and High Wycombe, a Chilterns town with a large South Asian community and several banqueting venues, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Aylesbury and Beaconsfield. We are at home at High Wycombe-area venues such as Danesfield House, The Pavilion at Lane End and Crowne Plaza Marlow.
High Wycombe is a Chilterns town with a large South Asian community, including a strong Kashmiri and Pakistani presence, and it hosts an annual Asian Mela on The Rye. High Wycombe station sits on the Chiltern Main Line towards London Marylebone, with the M40 running close to the town. For relaxed couple photographs, we like The Rye, a riverside park between the River Wye and the Dyke with open grassland and an outdoor pool, and Hughenden Manor, the National Trust country home of former Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli just north of the town gives the day a strong sense of High Wycombe.

What we offer
The turmeric, the laughter and the mess of a haldi morning are photographed exactly as they happen, warm and unforced.
A handful of timeless, beautifully lit portraits amid the celebration.
Whether by baraat, doli or a lit-up reception walk, we make sure your entrance is caught in full and never half-framed.
Every tradition
For Tamil and South Indian families, the muhurtham and the tying of the thali are the sacred centre of the ceremony. In the gurdwara, the couple circle the Guru Granth Sahib through the four laavan, and we follow that slow procession with the reverence the moment asks for. The garland exchange, when the couple meet with the jaimala, is a moment of pure joy we love to photograph.
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 dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy. The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings.

The whole celebration
We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations. A garba fills the room with movement, and we photograph the sway of it without asking anyone to pause, letting the colour and the circles of dancing lead the frame.
For a Muslim wedding the nikah and the walima may fall on the same day or separate ones, and we cover both. Just fifteen minutes is enough for a handful of timeless portraits near your venue.

Yes. The vidaai is often the most emotional moment of the day, and we record it with quiet respect, staying at a gentle distance so the family can share it without feeling watched. These are among the most treasured images we deliver from an Asian wedding.
We work across Buckinghamshire and travel throughout the UK, so we are likely familiar with the venues near High Wycombe, and we are always glad to learn a new one. If we have not photographed there before, we research the space and arrive early to plan our coverage.
Many times. Asian weddings bring together dhol drummers, decorators, caterers and entertainers, and we know how to work alongside them without getting in each other's way. Good coordination on the day keeps things flowing, and it means we are always in the right place when something happens.
Yes, these evenings are some of our favourites. The mehndi, sangeet and garba are full of colour, music and family energy, and they set the tone for everything that follows. We record them in a relaxed, observational style so the laughter and dancing come through honestly.
With respect for the space and its customs. We remove our shoes, cover our heads where required and stay mindful of areas we should not enter. Knowing how these venues work lets us find quiet vantage points, so we document the ceremony without ever intruding on it.
