Asian Wedding Photographer New Malden

Serving New Malden

Planning several days of celebration around New Malden

Several days of celebration amount to more than one job repeated. Each day brings another building, another set of guests, another quality of light, and yet the finished set must read as belonging to one couple. That kind of consistency is decided in advance by fixing a look and sticking to it; editing will not retrofit it later. Which is why every date in your run is wanted before a quote gets written, not just the biggest one.

Guests treat a three-day wedding differently when the trains run direct. People go home and come back, rooms empty at two and refill by six, so your middle afternoon takes a shape nobody drew on the schedule. New Malden station feeds Waterloo without a change of platform. Plan those quiet stretches deliberately, because unguarded pictures live in them, and photograph the lull instead of waiting it out.

Superb and highly professional wedding photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Kaushik Bathia Photography for a recent wedding at Orchardleigh Estate.

Google review, 2015

…Kaushik's work is fantastic and he took so much stress out of our special day. He and his team are highly professional, fun and friendly and work with you to capture the shots that you want. He captured some amazing moments of both us and our guests, some natural, some posed but all truly wonderful. We were blown away by our albums and videos and have no hesitation in recommending him to our family and friends.

Reesha G., Google review, 2015

Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.

Every tradition

Whichever ceremony carries the weight in your family

One ceremony in every family carries the real weight, and which one it is changes household by household. Consent spoken before witnesses, for some. A fire circled, for others. Elsewhere authority in the room rests with nobody present, and the photography takes instruction accordingly, not from anything we would prefer. Ask that question ahead of the schedule: everything else bends and this does not. Miss it and you will have covered the wrong hour beautifully.

Multi-day albums are carried by material nobody planned. An aunt asleep upright at half past three. A brother pressing a sherwani badly, ten minutes late. An empty car park waiting for arrivals. Frames of that sort cost nothing and they are where people linger years afterwards, since the posed pictures are already in everybody's possession. Staying through the slack middle of each day is entirely deliberate, and it is where an album stops resembling a brochure.

Why choose us

Why documentary coverage suits a long New Malden wedding

Documentary coverage here is arithmetic rather than taste. Three days of directed portraiture would flatten everybody before the second morning was out, yielding a set where each picture resembles its neighbour. Watching, and intervening only when a family group genuinely needs marshalling, returns more pictures at less cost to your relatives.

Good to know

Asian weddings in New Malden, FAQs

How do you keep up with such a fast, packed wedding day?+

Anticipation, mostly. Three or four unmissable moments in the running order get marked between us beforehand, and we stand ready for each before it begins. Whatever else happens on the day gets caught in passing rather than chased.

We are getting married in New Malden. Will you research our venue?+

Warren House is a Grade II listed Victorian manor on the Coombe Estate, with five acres of gardens, a Wedding Dome for ceremonies and Asian wedding packages, so there is plenty to plan around. Whatever the venue, we study what it publishes, ask about each room and arrive early to walk the space before your guests do.

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

Several hundred edited images per day is normal, though days rather than frames are what we count. Everything worth having reaches you; nothing gets padded out with near-duplicates. Length of each day moves the number either way.

Can you cover a Gujarati wedding with its particular customs?+

Yes. Gujarati households keep their own order and their own emphases, and assuming rather than asking is how photographers get caught out. Walk us through your family's customs and a plan gets built from your account of them.

Can you cover a smaller, intimate Asian wedding?+

We would be delighted to. The Acorn Room at Kingston Register Office seats 8 and the Oak Room up to 70, and we would shape the coverage around whichever size of day you choose. A family of eight gets the same attention from us as a hall of several hundred.
