The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning Asian wedding photographer based in London, photographing Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings in Princes Risborough and throughout Buckinghamshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. Every tradition has its own rhythm, and our job is to feel that rhythm and photograph inside it rather than imposing a routine of our own on your day. Whether your wedding in Princes Risborough is Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim, Tamil or a fusion of traditions, we know the order of each faith's rituals and cover the whole celebration. Our experience runs deep across Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Punjabi, Muslim and Tamil weddings. 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 Buckinghamshire for your wedding.
Serving Princes Risborough
Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp. Couples throughout Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Wendover trust us with ceremonies in their family's place of worship and receptions in the county's largest venues alike. We are ready for the giving of the sindoor and the tying of the mangalsutra at a Hindu ceremony.
We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally. For a Sikh anand karaj we keep our distance during the laavan, photographing the ragis and the family without a single interruption to the prayer. Multi-day weddings ask for stamina and planning, so we map the running order with you beforehand and pace ourselves to be sharp from the haldi to the last song.
Much of our year is spent out across Buckinghamshire, and Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp, a place we return to often for Hindu, Sikh and Muslim celebrations. Nearby Chalfont St Peter and Denham are on our patch as well. Venues we have photographed at near Princes Risborough include Princes Risborough Golf Club and Notley Tythe Barn.
Princes Risborough is a market town below the Chiltern scarp, often described as a gateway to the Chilterns. Princes Risborough station is on the Chiltern Main Line and is also the terminus of the Chinnor and Princes Risborough heritage railway. For portraits away from the celebration, Whiteleaf Hill, the National Trust chalk grassland and viewpoint overlooking the town works beautifully, and Whiteleaf Cross, the chalk cross cut into the hillside above the town adds a real sense of place.

What we offer
We photograph the day as it truly unfolds, staying out of the way so the moments belong to you.
Mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception across several days, with second photographers for large events.
Whether by baraat, doli or a lit-up reception walk, we make sure your entrance is caught in full and never half-framed.
Every tradition
Whatever your faith, the auspicious hour sets the tempo, and we plan our positions around the muhurat or muhurtham so the sacred minutes are never rushed for a picture. We are mindful of every family's customs at the ceremony, and photograph them exactly as they happen. From the kanyadaan to the saptapadi, or the first laav to the last, the ceremony tells its own story and we follow it.
The pre-wedding events are often where the most natural photographs come from, and we give them full attention. The bhangra and the dancing carry the reception late into the night, and we stay for all of it. The mehndi evening is close and detailed, henna curling across the bride's hands while the room fills with song, and we photograph the artistry and the laughter alike.

The whole celebration
The mehndi gathering is where the whole family finally lands in one place, and we photograph the reunions, the cups of chai and the henna drying across a dozen hands. There is a particular kind of joy in a haldi, all warmth and yellow and gentle teasing, and we photograph it the way it actually happens, unhurried and honest.
For a Muslim wedding the nikah and the walima may fall on the same day or separate ones, and we cover both. The reception has its own tempo, softer at first and then loud, and we read that shift so the speeches, the first dance and the late-night floor all feel complete.
Why choose us
We arrive with two camera bodies, spare lenses and duplicate memory cards, because a wedding gives you no second chance and we take that responsibility seriously. We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from intimate ceremonies to several hundred guests.
When your ceremony and reception sit in different towns across Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Wendover, we map the day in advance so no minute of coverage is lost in transit. We will travel to your temple, gurdwara, mosque, reception and pre-wedding events, wherever they are held.

Where we travel
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. Distance rarely enters our thinking; we plan the route, allow for the traffic and arrive in good time wherever your events are held.

Good to know
We do. After twenty-five years across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings, the order of events in each tradition is second nature to us, which means we are always where we need to be for the moments that matter most.
We are thoroughly accustomed to the low light of many ceremony venues. With fast lenses and careful handling, we produce clean, natural images and avoid intrusive flash during sacred moments. Should the reception genuinely need a little illumination, we bring it in quietly and unobtrusively.
Being London-based, we reach Princes Risborough and the towns around it easily, and the journey is a familiar one. What you get is a widely experienced Asian wedding specialist, at home with every tradition, who knows the venues of the area and travels to you without fuss.
Yes. Through the evening we capture the grand entrance, the speeches, the first dance and the bhangra of your Princes Risborough reception, right down to the last guest on the floor. As the joyful finale of the celebration, the reception is photographed by us in all its energy and colour.
We regularly advise a second photographer for Asian celebrations in Princes Risborough. With the bride and groom getting ready apart, a baraat to follow and hundreds of guests, having two of us means we cover parallel moments and collect more of the ceremony. For full, busy days it is money well spent.
Yes, happily. Specialising in Asian weddings across all traditions, we regularly reach Princes Risborough for Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil celebrations alike. Our London base and long habit of travelling to venues near and far mean the distance is never an obstacle for us.
Absolutely. A great deal of the celebration lives in the reception, so we record the grand entrance, the speeches, the first dance and the surge of energy as the dhol and DJ get going. Working on through the night, we make sure the whole atmosphere of the party is captured.
