The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across Warwickshire for over twenty five years, and couples in Leamington Spa choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own wedding. We photograph every Asian wedding tradition in Leamington Spa, from the Hindu mandap and pheras to the Sikh Anand Karaj, the Muslim nikah and the Tamil muhurtham, across multi day celebrations. We have built our reputation on reliability, warmth and a genuine love of the work. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Warwickshire and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Leamington Spa
Leamington Spa is a Regency spa town with elegant venues. The banqueting halls, mandaps and places of worship of Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry are familiar ground, and we know how each one handles light and space. We keep our distance during the most solemn moments and step in only for the joyful ones.
When the baraat arrives with drums and dancing we are in the thick of it, moving with the crowd so the welcome looks and feels exactly as loud as it was. On the dance floor we shoot fast and close, catching the bhangra, the dhol and the uncles who never sit down, so the party reads as alive as it felt. We shoot the getting-ready hours as a story of anticipation, from the jewellery going on to the last look in the mirror before the ceremony.
We travel throughout Warwickshire for temple, gurdwara and mosque ceremonies, and Leamington Spa, a Regency spa town with elegant venues, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Warwick and Rugby. Venues we know well in and near Leamington Spa include Mallory Court Hotel, The House and Orangery and Victoria House.
Royal Leamington Spa is a Regency spa town in Warwickshire, granted the Royal title by Queen Victoria and known for its elegant architecture. Leamington Spa railway station has services to Birmingham, Coventry, London Marylebone and Stratford-upon-Avon, with the M40 close by. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Jephson Gardens, the riverside ornamental gardens beside the River Leam, with The Royal Pump Rooms on The Parade, dating from 1814 close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
Two families' customs blended and photographed with equal care.
For large celebrations, a second shooter covers the baraat and the preparations at once.
The turmeric, the laughter and the mess of a haldi morning are photographed exactly as they happen, warm and unforced.
Every tradition
We are ready for the giving of the sindoor and the tying of the mangalsutra at a Hindu ceremony. The garland exchange, when the couple meet with the jaimala, is a moment of pure joy we love to photograph. At a Muslim wedding, the nikah and the signing of the contract carry great dignity, and we cover them with respect.
We photograph the bridal and groom's preparations with a gentle, unobtrusive eye. We document the engagement and pre-wedding events that begin the journey, when families ask us. For Muslim families the walima is a generous celebration in its own right, and we cover it as fully as the nikah that precedes it.

The whole celebration
A celebration often opens with an intimate mehndi at home and a lively sangeet full of music and dance. The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration.
From the morning preparations to the final dance, we give every part of the day the same care. A full day of rituals can stretch for hours, so we pace ourselves and pace our coverage, making sure the energy at midnight is as sharp as it was at dawn.
Why choose us
We back up every image on the day as we shoot, carry spare equipment to each event, and have never once left a family without their photographs. Couples tell us they relax the moment we arrive, and that ease comes only from having photographed a thousand weddings across every Asian faith.
Distance rarely enters our thinking; we plan the route, allow for the traffic and arrive in good time wherever your events are held. From our London base, Leamington Spa and the rest of Warwickshire are an easy, familiar journey.

Where we travel
We photograph across Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry regularly, and returning to the county for a wedding feels less like travel and more like familiar ground. From London we reach Leamington Spa easily, and we know the venues of Warwickshire well.

Good to know
Yes, we are comfortable photographing at temples and are happy to travel to Leamington Spa for a ceremony there. We take the time to understand the customs of the particular mandir, so we can work respectfully within its rules while still recording the day fully for you.
Yes. Not every celebration is a five-hundred-guest affair, and we are just as happy photographing an intimate nikah, a family engagement or a registry ceremony followed by a small gathering. The same documentary care applies, whatever the scale of your day.
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.
We have photographed Asian weddings for more than 25 years, across over a thousand celebrations of every tradition, and that experience shows in how calmly we work. We know the rituals, we respect each faith, and our documentary style gives you honest photographs that feel like your day, not a template.
Yes. We travel to Leamington Spa and right across the surrounding area for Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings. Asian weddings of every tradition are our speciality, we are London-based and used to journeys of every kind, and distance is never a problem.
Yes. For larger Asian weddings we bring a second photographer so simultaneous events and big guest lists are fully covered, and the baraat and the preparations can be captured at once.
We can. For weddings in Leamington Spa where the ladies' side is kept private, or where a female photographer is preferred for the bridal preparations, we will arrange one as part of your coverage. Please mention this when you enquire so we can plan the team around your needs.
