The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning Asian wedding photographer based in London, photographing Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings in Northampton and throughout Northamptonshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We follow your family's customs closely and photograph them exactly as you keep them. We photograph every Asian wedding tradition in Northampton, from the Hindu mandap and pheras to the Sikh Anand Karaj, the Muslim nikah and the Tamil muhurtham, across multi day celebrations. Decades of weddings mean we read the day instinctively and never miss the moments that matter. A second photographer, a female photographer for segregated events and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Northamptonshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving Northampton
Northampton is a large town with a diverse community and country-house venues. We are as at ease in a small community temple as in a five-hundred-cover banqueting suite, throughout Far Cotton, Kingsthorpe and Wootton and the rest of Northamptonshire. At a Muslim nikah we photograph the vows, the mehr and the joyful moment the couple are declared married.
Our approach is relaxed and documentary, so you can be present in your own wedding. A female photographer is available for the getting-ready hours and any moments where the women of the family would prefer a woman behind the camera. We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally.
Asian families throughout the area have trusted us with their weddings, and Northampton is a large town with a diverse community and country-house venues, a destination we return to gladly. Nearby Wellingborough and Kettering are familiar to us too. Venues we have photographed at near Northampton include Sedgebrook Hall, Whittlebury Park and Rushton Hall.
Northampton is a large market town with a diverse community and a long history of shoe and leather manufacturing. Northampton railway station stands on the site of the former castle, on the West Coast Main Line loop, with the M1 at junctions 15, 15a and 16. When there is time for couple portraits, Abington Park, a historic public park with a museum in the former manor house is a favourite, and Delapre Abbey, a former Cluniac nunnery south of the town centre makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
Beautifully bound albums and fine prints, designed around your favourite images.
From the morning preparations to the last dance, every event told as one story.
The speeches, the first dance and the bhangra, captured to the very last guest.
Every tradition
The kanyadaan and the joining of hands at the mandap are photographed with quiet care. We work in the background of the priest, the granthi or the imam, reading their rhythm so the ceremony flows without a photographer in the way. The most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens.
For Muslim families the walima is a warm celebration in its own right, and we cover it in full. We capture the lively baraat as the groom arrives, with the dhol, the dancing and the milni. The haldi or pithi is turmeric, colour and mischief in equal measure, and it often gives us the warmest and most unguarded frames of the whole wedding.

The whole celebration
The sangeet brings an evening of rehearsed dances and late-night music before the wedding day itself. Tell us which events matter most and we will build the coverage around them.
We know the order and timing of each tradition's wedding day, so we are always in position. We deliver a full day evenly, from the first ritual to the last song, so your album carries the real shape of the celebration rather than only its brightest half-hour.
Why choose us
Experience means we are ready for early starts, muhurat and muhurtham timings and the precise order of rituals. Couples choose us for our calm, experienced presence and our knowledge of every tradition's rituals.
Whether your celebration keeps to one venue or ranges across the county, we carry backup equipment to every location so nothing is ever left to chance. We are London-based but rarely in London; much of our work takes us across the Midlands.

Where we travel
Reaching your temple, gurdwara, mosque, mehndi and reception is our concern, not yours, wherever across the region they happen to fall. A multi-day wedding spread across several venues asks for careful planning, and plotting the movement between them is something we do as a matter of course.

Good to know
We design fine-art albums built to last, with thick pages and archival printing that suits the richness of an Asian wedding. We lay out the story across the days and share a proof with you before anything is printed, so every spread reflects your family and your celebration.
Yes. The haldi or pithi is a warm, joyful morning ritual where turmeric is applied to the couple, and it makes for wonderfully candid, colourful photographs. We keep back a little to let the family enjoy the fun freely, stepping in close only when the moment invites it.
It varies with how many events you have, but multi-day Asian weddings typically produce several hundred finished images once we have edited the full collection. We select and refine every frame rather than handing over everything, so what you receive is the genuine story of your days.
Absolutely. The baraat is one of the liveliest parts of the day, whether the groom arrives on a horse, in an open car or on foot amid dhol drummers through the streets of Northampton. We move with the procession to catch the dancing and the greeting, keeping our footing so no moment is lost.
Yes. We regularly work in the larger banqueting halls that host Asian weddings, and we are happy to cover an event at a venue in Northampton. We like to know the room in advance where possible, so we can plan for the lighting and the scale of the day.
Yes. We can begin with the mehndi and sangeet earlier in the week and carry through to the main ceremony and reception, giving your whole celebration a single, consistent visual story. Where the mehndi is a ladies-only event, a female photographer can cover it for you.
Yes, very. In Northampton and beyond we photograph the Anand Karaj and the four laavan in the gurdwara with the calm the Guru Granth Sahib deserves, and we know the milni and the reception that surround it well.
