Serving Newbury

Capturing Asian weddings in Newbury

Three days across three Newbury buildings raises a continuity problem well before any coverage problem. Every room hands over its own colour, and untouched, the Friday resembles one wedding, the Saturday a second and the Sunday a third, made by three unrelated people. The remedy lives in the edit and must be settled beforehand: a single treatment fixed at the outset and kept, instead of grading each day to flatter itself. Ask whichever photographer you are interviewing how they propose to answer it.

The second thing worth knowing is that the strongest frames seldom fall inside the scheduled hours. They come from the twenty minutes in a corridor while everybody waits, the back seat of a car, a grandmother sitting down because her shoes hurt. Those stretches get no running order and no announcement, so we simply stay through them, camera down but present.

Every tradition

The Mandap, the Palki and the Rites Within

There is no single Asian wedding, and the practical difference is who holds the clock. In one family a priest works through the mandap at a pace of his own, and will pause briefly when asked. In another, timing answers to whatever is being sung, and nothing pauses for anyone. A third family treats a contract as the binding portion, and that can be finished within twenty minutes. One word on the invitation, three entirely separate jobs, each needing its own plan.

So the first real question at a planning meeting is not which venue but who runs the ceremony, and how much movement that person will tolerate nearby. The answer settles our positions, what may be taken at close range, and how much daylight survives for portraits afterwards. Lenses and lighting follow from it, never the reverse. Nobody minds being asked. Officiants generally prefer a photographer who has asked to one who improvises around them.

Why choose us

Why a Second Photographer Changes Your Whole Day

Over a wedding running several days, two rooms are usually busy simultaneously, and something has to be given up. We would sooner name the room we intend to lose, and give our reasons for choosing it, than leave you to discover the gap once an album arrives. Talk it through at booking, never on the morning.

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings since 2001, more than a thousand of them, and holds five European Gold awards alongside FBIPP and FMPA fellowships.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Newbury, FAQs

Do you edit and retouch the final images?+

Colour is corrected across everything we hand over, and the set is then pulled to one look. Retouching beyond that stays deliberately restrained: a blemish, a reflection, an exit sign nobody noticed. Bodies are not reshaped, relatives are not removed.

Which Asian wedding traditions do you cover?+

Whichever ones your family keeps. A list would serve you less well than a habit, which is that you talk us through your household's own order of events, given that two families may sequence a shared custom quite differently.

Do you know the order of rituals for each faith?+

Enough that we have taken a position while others are still turning round, and not so much that we assume. Regional practice differs; a family's own practice differs further. The sequence gets confirmed with whoever officiates, beforehand.

Will you travel to Newbury for our wedding?+

Yes. Newbury keeps a main line station serving Paddington and Reading, which is of more use to your guests than to us. We come by road, arrive before the hairdresser does, and start work on an empty room.

Which Asian wedding traditions do you photograph?+

Those your day actually contains, with priority inside them set by you. Name the three moments your parents would grieve to lose; they get taken care of ahead of anything else, and everything remaining grows outward from those.
