Asian Wedding Photographer Milton Keynes

Serving Milton Keynes

Three days across Milton Keynes, from Bletchley to Stony Stratford

Run a wedding over three days and several buildings and the ceremonies stop accounting for most of it. Totalled up, the set pieces are a minority of your hours. What people keep afterwards usually comes from the spaces around them: a grandmother being helped into a car, a brother making a mess of somebody's turban, a kitchen still going at eleven at night. Coverage that sprints from one official item to the next collects none of that, so those gaps go into the plan deliberately.

The Palatial Hall is one venue in Milton Keynes. Capacity is the wrong opening question for any venue. Ask instead whether the room you would use has daylight, and whether its lighting can be dimmed. Purpose built function space usually answers the second and not the first. An older house tends to be the reverse. Whichever way that falls sets the hour your portraits have to happen in, which is worth settling before signing.

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!

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.

Temple & Gurdwara

Every tradition

One method for the mandap, the gurdwara and the nikah

Asian weddings do not share a ceremony. They share a shape. Somebody holds authority over the room, and who that somebody is varies by tradition: a priest in one house, an institution's own custodians in another, an imam in a third. Our procedure never changes. Identify that person, ask where a camera is allowed, then accept the answer without argument. Putting that question early resolves more than technique ever will.

Beyond that the technical demands diverge hard. A garba floor is a fast shutter problem solved in near darkness. A nikah is a stillness problem, where the decisive second arrives with no visible signal in front of it. An anand karaj holds a pace that nobody adjusts for a photographer. Sunlight beneath a canopy misbehaves in its own particular way. Your family will meet one or two of these, never the lot, so say which of them at the outset and a later conversation is saved.

Why choose us

Asian wedding photography across the MK postcodes

Asian weddings across Milton Keynes and its neighbouring towns are what we cover, over as many days as yours takes. You get one photographer who arrives knowing what your programme does next, who has learned when to leave the camera down, and who does not need your running order repeating.

Whether the mehndi is at home in Bletchley or the reception fills The Palatial Hall on Queensway, Kaushik Bathia would photograph every event himself, with the studio established in 2001, five European Kodak Gold Awards and fellowships of the BIPP and MPA behind him.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Milton Keynes, FAQs

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

Yes, though from considerably further back than we work at any other hour. A vidaai wants nobody standing inside it. Long lens, behind the crowd, no flash, and not a word out of us before that car reaches the road.

Do you photograph the haldi or pithi ceremony?+

Yes. Haldi and pithi give you the most colourful hour of the week and the least controlled, which is a fine combination. Wear whatever you are willing to wreck, let the cousins do their worst, and our position stays out of throwing range.

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?+

Yes, and one unglamorous argument makes the case for booking one. You discover how you look at a camera while nothing rides on it, and we discover how you both behave when there is nobody instructing anyone.

Will you travel to Milton Keynes for our wedding?+

We travel to Milton Keynes for weddings and nowhere in Buckinghamshire is beyond reach. Send us postcodes for every building in use, the morning one included, and timings are then worked backwards from whichever event finishes latest.

How many photographs will we receive from a multi-day wedding?+

More than anybody uses, which is what editing is for. Several hundred finished frames come back from a three day wedding, not everything a shutter recorded. Duplicates, misfires and half shut eyes go before you ever see them.
