The short answer
An award winning, London based Asian wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings in Potters Bar and across Hertfordshire. Before the day we talk through the timeline in detail, flagging where the light will be, where the crowds will gather and where the quiet will fall. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Potters Bar, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. We bring the steadiness that only comes from photographing weddings for twenty-five years. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Hertfordshire and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Potters Bar
Potters Bar is a leafy town on the London and Hertfordshire border. From a mandap raised in a hotel ballroom to a marquee on family grounds, we photograph Asian weddings in every kind of setting across Barnet, Hatfield and Cuffley. For Gujarati families we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras and photograph each as you keep it.
We work quietly through the sacred parts and lift the energy for the baraat, reading each moment as it comes rather than pulling you out of it for set-up shots. We capture the details too, the flowers, the jewellery, the mandap and the mehndi, that make your day yours. 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 travel throughout Hertfordshire for temple, gurdwara and mosque ceremonies, and Potters Bar, a leafy town on the London and Hertfordshire border, is one we know well. We also photograph in nearby Berkhamsted and Radlett. Around Potters Bar we regularly photograph at The Oshwal Centre and West Lodge Park, among others.
Potters Bar is a leafy commuter town on the boundary of London and Hertfordshire, largely surrounded by green belt countryside. Potters Bar station is on the Great Northern line to London King's Cross, and Junction 24 of the M25 is nearby. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Oakmere Park, with its lake and formal gardens, and Oakmere House, a historic house in the centre of the town gives the day a strong sense of Potters Bar.

What we offer
The colour and movement of a garba call for a photographer who can keep pace and stay inside the dance.
Whether by baraat, doli or a lit-up reception walk, we make sure your entrance is caught in full and never half-framed.
A second shooter lets us cover the bride and groom at once and hold two rooms of a busy day without gaps.
Every tradition
The most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance with a quiet long lens. At a Muslim nikah we photograph the vows, the mehr and the joyful moment the couple are declared married. From the kanyadaan to the saptapadi, or the first laav to the last, the ceremony tells its own story and we follow it.
From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration. From the turmeric of the haldi to the music of the sangeet, the events set the tone for the wedding. The dhol player sets the pulse of the baraat, and we work close to the drum and the dancers so the picture carries the sound within it.

The whole celebration
As the bride's mehndi is drawn, time slows in the nicest way, and we use those hours to gather the softer portraits that a busy ceremony day rarely allows. For large pre-wedding gatherings a second photographer makes sure two moments at once are captured.
We document the grand moments and the quiet ones in between, so nothing is lost. From the baraat to the last guest, we follow the whole day at its own pace.
Why choose us
We have photographed Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings across the country for more than two decades. With twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, nothing about an Asian celebration surprises us.
We travel happily across Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties for the whole celebration. We are London-based and travel across Hertfordshire and the wider region for Asian weddings.

Where we travel
Wherever your events take place across the Home Counties, we will be there in good time. When your ceremony and reception sit in different towns across Barnet, Hatfield and Cuffley, we map the day in advance so no minute of coverage is lost in transit.

Good to know
We do. A pre-wedding or engagement session around Potters Bar is a relaxed way for us to get to know one another before the big day, and it gives you a set of portraits in a setting you love. Many couples find it makes them feel far more at ease with the camera later.
We are. We understand the significance of the muhurtham timing and the tying of the thali, along with the surrounding customs that make a Tamil ceremony distinct. This familiarity means we are ready at the right moment, so the images reflect the true weight of each ritual.
You will receive a preview gallery of favourites soon after the day, with your full edited collection following once we have worked carefully through every event. Multi-day Asian weddings produce a large number of images, so we take the time needed to edit them to a consistent, high standard.
Yes. Temples, gurdwaras and mosques are all familiar to us, as are mandaps, marquees and banqueting halls in and around Potters Bar. We work quietly around the priest, the granthi or the imam, often using a long lens, so the ceremony is never disturbed.
Asian receptions often carry on well into the evening, and we plan our coverage to see the day through to the moments that matter to you. We agree the finishing point in advance, and if the celebration overruns we will always discuss options rather than simply pack away.
Yes. Every image we deliver is edited by hand for colour, tone and consistency across the days, and we retouch our selected portraits with a light, natural touch. We aim for photographs that look timeless rather than heavily processed, so they age well in your album.
We often recommend a second photographer for Asian weddings in Potters Bar. With separate bride and groom preparations, a baraat and a large guest count, a second shooter lets us cover two things at once and gather more angles of the ceremony. For busy multi-event days it is well worth it.
