The short answer

Your Asian wedding photographer in Newbury, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across Berkshire for over twenty five years, and couples in Newbury choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. We arrive early, stay late and keep pace with every part of the celebration. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Newbury, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. One studio comfortable across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings means you brief one experienced team, not several, for the whole celebration. A second photographer for the busiest days, a female photographer where needed and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Berkshire for your wedding.

Serving Newbury

Capturing Asian weddings in Newbury

Newbury is a West Berkshire town with country-house venues. We photograph Asian weddings across Berkshire, including Thatcham, Hungerford and Reading, at temples, gurdwaras, mosques, mandaps and banqueting halls. 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 are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally. A second photographer means we can be at the mandap and with the guests at once, so the reactions in the room are held alongside the ritual at the front. We work discreetly around the priest, the granthi or the imam, never intruding on a sacred moment.

Newbury is a West Berkshire town with country-house venues, and we know its venues and its approaches well from photographing Asian weddings here over many years. We are often just along the road in Ascot and Sandhurst too. Newbury and the towns around it offer venues such as Shaw House, Donnington Grove and Wasing Park, all familiar to us.

Newbury is a West Berkshire market town set on the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal, long associated with horse racing. Newbury railway station is on the Great Western main line with services to London Paddington and Reading, and the town sits near the A34 and M4 junction 13. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Victoria Park in Newbury, beside the River Kennet, with Newbury Racecourse close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer

What is included in your Newbury Asian wedding coverage

Documentary Storytelling

Calm, unobtrusive coverage that captures the day as you lived it, never staged.

Fine-Art Albums

Hand-finished albums that hold the whole story of your Asian celebration.

Sikh Weddings

Discreet coverage of the Anand Karaj and the laavan in the gurdwara.

Every tradition

The Mandap, the Palki and the Rites Within

We keep our distance during the most solemn moments and step in only for the joyful ones. When the couple rise as husband and wife and turn to their families, we are already facing them, ready for the smiles that follow the solemnity. At a Muslim wedding, the nikah and the signing of the contract carry great dignity, and we cover them with respect.

The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention. Preparations hold a quiet anticipation of their own, and we photograph the jewellery, the tying of the turban and the last still moments before the day begins. We are glad to cover a single event or the whole multi-day celebration.

The whole celebration

From mehndi to reception in Newbury

Getting ready is rarely calm, and that is exactly what we love, so we work softly through the jewellery, the draping and the small nerves that come before you step out. The days before the wedding often hold the most relaxed, candid moments of the whole celebration.

On the wedding day, the baraat, the ceremony and the vows build to the farewell and the reception. 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.

Why choose us

Why a Second Photographer Changes Your Whole Day

We treat the mehndi with the same care as the pheras and the reception with the same eye as the nikah, because every part of your story deserves it. The recommendations that fill our diary come from families who felt understood rather than sold to, and who saw their traditions photographed with real respect.

From London we reach Newbury easily, and we know the venues of Berkshire well. We cover the whole of the UK for Asian weddings, so wherever your family gathers, distance is never the reason to look elsewhere.

Where we travel

Serving Couples Across Newbury and the Wider Berkshire

We will travel to your temple, gurdwara, mosque, reception and pre-wedding events, wherever they are held. We photograph across Thatcham, Hungerford and Reading regularly, and returning to the county for a wedding feels less like travel and more like familiar ground.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Newbury, frequently asked questions

We would like coverage at a temple in Newbury. Is that something you do?+

Certainly. Temple ceremonies are well within our experience, and travelling to Newbury for one is no difficulty at all. We take care to understand how the particular mandir does things, so we can honour its rules while still recording your celebration thoroughly.

Which Asian wedding traditions do you cover?+

Every one, in truth. Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Punjabi, Muslim, Tamil and mixed-faith weddings are all within our experience. No matter which tradition your Newbury family observes, we are well acquainted with its rituals and running order, so nothing on the day comes as a shock to us.

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

We certainly do. Twenty-five years spent among Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings have made the sequence of each tradition entirely familiar, so we are always in position for the moments that carry the most meaning, never caught out by what comes next.

Do you photograph the mehndi and sangeet nights before the wedding?+

We do, gladly, as they are some of the nights we most enjoy. Full of colour, music and family warmth, the mehndi, sangeet and garba lay the tone for the whole celebration. Working quietly and observing rather than directing, we let their laughter and dancing shine through naturally.

Can you photograph the reception in Newbury?+

Yes. Through the evening we capture the grand entrance, the speeches, the first dance and the bhangra of your Newbury reception, right to the last guest on the floor. The reception is the joyful finale of the celebration, and we photograph all of its energy and colour.

Can you deliver our Newbury wedding images so we can share them with distant relatives?+

We can. Besides your printed album, an online gallery of edited photographs is included, which you can pass to loved ones near Newbury or on the other side of the world. Those unable to attend can view the celebration and, if you allow it, order their own prints.

Will you photograph our pre-wedding events?+

Yes, with pleasure. The mehndi, the haldi or pithi and the sangeet frequently hold the most heartfelt and unguarded moments of all, and covering them as part of your wedding is a joy. Plenty of families ask us to capture everything, from the earliest gathering to the final farewell.
