Serving Newport

Multi-day Asian weddings in Newport and South Wales

A wedding running across three days asks something different of a photographer, and it is not merely more of the same. Each ceremony is a fixed point, and to a large degree it photographs itself. Whether the finished set coheres gets decided elsewhere: cars being loaded, an hour when nothing much happens, clothes changing, the argument over who travels with whom. That is the material we go looking for, and quoting a multi-day booking as a day rate multiplied misunderstands it.

Newport concentrates its weddings into a small number of buildings, so a three-day booking may return to the same walls twice. The variation then has to be manufactured rather than found. We work one room at another hour, from another height, on another focal length, and we settle which day receives which treatment before anybody arrives, rather than improvising it on the second morning.

Kaushik was exceptional at creating our wedding photo album! He designed it so beautifully and his customer service was the best. The album quality and design is amazing, we loved it! Wow what a great job. Highly recommend for photo albums.

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. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.

Portraits That Last

Every tradition

Ceremonies, customs and the moments between two families

Two families rarely put ceremonial weight identically, and establishing where yours puts it comes before anything else. How a wedding will actually be shaped is not safe to assume from an invitation. One household turns entirely on a nikah conducted in a side room by an imam nobody outside the family has met. Another builds a whole weekend toward an evening reception. We photograph the version you are actually having, not a composite of everything the word Asian gets made to cover.

Then come the words between families, which nobody thinks to put on a running order. Greetings at a door, an uncle deciding on a speech, two mothers finding one another in a car park: quick, unlit, unrepeatable, and holding more of what two families are to each other than any arranged group can. Nobody gets a second attempt at them, so we drift toward doorways and away from the centre of a room.

Why choose us

Keeping a long Newport weekend on track

Steadiness here mostly means dull things done properly. Duplicate cameras in use, cards writing to a second slot as they fill, a running order settled on paper before the week begins, and somebody willing to say plainly that four o'clock light will beat six o'clock light. None of that is exciting. It is what stops a long weekend unravelling.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Newport, FAQs

Always. A second camera is working rather than resting in a bag, the lenses overlap so a failure costs reach and not the event, and every card writes to a duplicate slot as it fills. Chargers travel in absurd quantities.

Yes. Send the full running order early so coverage can be built to fit it, instead of days being bolted together. Some events want two hours and others want most of a day; settling that in advance is better than extending on the morning.

Multi-day bookings need longer notice than single days, simply because they occupy more of a diary. Anything falling in summer is worth raising with us once your venue has been confirmed. Shorter notice still gets an honest yes or no.

Yes, and covering both gives the album a thread from the first henna pattern to the last dance. Following the mehndi and sangeet through to the ceremony and the reception, whether that is at the Celtic Manor Resort or in the pillar-free Main Hall at ICC Wales, lets the whole celebration read as one story.

An add-on, not a default. Worth it when two rooms are busy at the same minute, or when guest numbers stop one position covering everything. A single ceremony in a single room rarely repays it.
