Mehndi, baraat and reception between Ickenham addresses
Asian weddings in Ickenham seldom occupy a single day, and seldom a single building. The frames families actually keep are often nothing to do with ceremony: a car journey between addresses, a bedroom where an outfit is being pinned, the flat twenty minutes when everybody has run out of things to do and nobody thinks to look up. Unlit, unscheduled, unrepeatable, and therefore the part most in need of a plan.
Those gaps are what we plan first. Card changes, charging, who ferries which case where, and which address on your list holds usable daylight during the hours you are inside it. Ickenham is compact enough to make that workable and well connected enough that guests genuinely turn up for the second event. Getting them all there is worth more than most plans admit, and several sprawling weekend schemes never manage it.

A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.

Every tradition
Which event matters most to your family
Weight falls differently in every household. One family pours everything into the mehndi and keeps the ceremony brief; the next reverses that completely. Assumption is the enemy of decent coverage. Beforehand we put a blunt question: if you had to keep one event and surrender the others, which survives. Coverage then gets built outward from your answer, which normally means concentrating attention where it matters and thinning it out somewhere you were never going to look twice anyway.
Who is actually in charge varies just as much. Occasionally the officiant holds the clock; just as often it is an aunt with a phone and a handwritten list, and the officiant defers to her. Establish which, pass it on, and our timing cues come off the right person. Misjudge it and an entrance goes unphotographed, because the lens was aimed at a stage while the real decision happened by the door.
Why choose us
One photographer from the first event to the last
Several days in a row reward stamina plus a short memory. Third morning, same energy as the first. The same faces stay on the job right through, until your relatives stop noticing them, and everything gets edited afterwards as a single continuous body rather than three separate galleries with one family in common.
Whichever addresses your events move between, Kaushik Bathia photographs every one himself, FBIPP and FMPA, with five European Kodak Gold Awards and a studio in Northwood since 2001.

Asian weddings in Ickenham, FAQs
Flush-mount, lay-flat books, so no gutter runs down the middle of anybody's face on a double spread. Size and cover material are yours to pick. We handle sequencing and send a proof, which you are welcome to argue with beforehand.
Considerably more than one sitting will exhaust, and considerably fewer than the cameras produced. Culling here is ruthless, because a gallery too long to finish serves you worse than a short one people pass round the table. Every real moment survives.
Because Ickenham lies inside Greater London, there is no surcharge for the journey and no debate about one. After that, judge the pictures, not the postcode. Somebody around the corner with a poor eye remains a poor choice.
All of them, and yours specifically gets discussed rather than assumed off a menu. Talk us through your running order in ordinary language, including whatever seems too obvious to mention, because obvious things are precisely what goes uncovered.
Yes. Garba and dandiya evenings, the ceremony rituals and the games played between the two families are all part of what we would photograph. Tell us which of them your two families keep, and we will be in position before each one starts, from the first garba round to the last game.
