The short answer
For couples marrying in Marlow, 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. We photograph the small moments as carefully as the grand ones, the glances as well as the rituals. From the mehndi and sangeet to the baraat, the ceremony and the reception, we photograph every part of an Asian wedding in and around Marlow with knowledge and care. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about an Asian celebration surprises us. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Buckinghamshire and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Marlow
Marlow is a riverside town on the Thames with elegant venues. Asian families throughout Maidenhead, High Wycombe and Bourne End trust us with their celebrations, large and small. 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.
We read the rhythm of an Asian celebration and are always in the right place at the right time. Across a long day we keep watching the edges of the room, where a grandmother's tears or two cousins laughing often say more than the staged group. Every tradition has its own rhythm, and our job is to feel that rhythm and photograph inside it rather than imposing a routine of our own on your day.
Couples come to us from all over the region, and Marlow is a riverside town on the Thames with elegant venues, so reaching your venues here is second nature. We also photograph across nearby Milton Keynes and Buckingham. Marlow and the towns around it offer venues such as The Compleat Angler, Crowne Plaza Marlow and Danesfield House, all familiar to us.
Marlow is a riverside market town on the River Thames, well known for its regatta and its Georgian and Victorian streets. Marlow railway station is the terminus of the branch line, nicknamed the Marlow Donkey, running via Bourne End to Maidenhead. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Higginson Park, the riverside park beside the Thames in the centre of Marlow, with Marlow suspension bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark and completed in 1832, alongside All Saints Church close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
Beautifully bound albums and fine prints, designed around your favourite images.
The milni, the blessings and the gatherings, so the whole family is remembered.
The farewell carries some of the deepest feeling of the day, and we hold those final embraces with the quiet they deserve.
Every tradition
We are mindful of every family's customs at the ceremony, and photograph them exactly as they happen. During the most solemn passages we step back and lengthen the lens, so the granthi's words or the sacred fire are photographed from a respectful distance. At a Gujarati mandap we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras, and we photograph them in the order your priest keeps rather than a generic script.
The reception is the joyful finale, with speeches, the first dance and the bhangra. The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings. The dhol player sets the pulse of the baraat, and we work close to the drum and the dancers so the picture carries the sound within it.

The whole celebration
Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them. Multi-day celebrations ask a lot of a family, so on the early events we stay light on our feet, reading the room rather than rearranging it for a picture.
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. On the wedding day, the baraat, the ceremony and the vows build to the farewell and the reception.
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. We know the rhythm of a mandap, a gurdwara and a nikah alike, so the sacred moments are always captured.
We will travel to your temple, gurdwara, mosque, reception and pre-wedding events, wherever they are held. We would rather arrive early and wait than keep you waiting, so we allow generous time for the drive to and around Buckinghamshire.

Where we travel
We photograph across Maidenhead, High Wycombe and Bourne End regularly, and returning to the county for a wedding feels less like travel and more like familiar ground. We cover the Home Counties and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request.

Good to know
We do. Asian weddings across every tradition, Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil, are what we specialise in, and we happily make the journey to Marlow and the towns around it. As London-based photographers used to travel of every kind, distance is never a problem.
Yes. Alongside your album we provide an online gallery of your edited images, which you can share easily with family whether they are near Marlow or overseas. Relatives who could not attend the wedding can then see the day and, where you wish, order their own prints.
We design fine-art albums built to last, with thick pages and archival printing that suits the richness of an Asian wedding. We lay out the story across the days and share a proof with you before anything is printed, so every spread reflects your family and your celebration.
Yes. The haldi or pithi is a warm, joyful morning ritual where turmeric is applied to the couple, and it makes for wonderfully candid, colourful photographs. We keep back a little to let the family enjoy the fun freely, stepping in close only when the moment invites it.
Because Marlow is an easy, familiar journey from our London base. You gain a widely experienced Asian wedding specialist who has photographed every tradition, who knows the local venues, and who travels to you without any fuss.
Absolutely. The baraat is one of the liveliest parts of the day, whether the groom arrives on a horse, in an open car or on foot amid dhol drummers through the streets of Marlow. We move with the procession to catch the dancing and the greeting, keeping our footing so no moment is lost.
Yes, of course. For weddings in Marlow where events are separate or segregated, we arrange additional photographers so each part of the day is photographed with sensitivity and discretion. Just share what your family needs when you get in touch, and we will plan the coverage around it.
