Asian Wedding Photography Across Ilford, Wanstead and Woodford

Asian weddings can spread over a week: several events, several buildings, several sets of guests who barely overlap. Booking the whole run instead of the largest single day is what holds the finished set together, because pictures made in a living room on Tuesday and a banqueting hall on Saturday still have to look related when they sit next to each other. Quoting for the week rather than for the weekend is the honest way round it.

Much of what families keep comes from the intervals rather than the ceremonies. A house in Woodford before the sun is properly up. A car park in Ilford where everybody is waiting. Fifteen minutes inside Valentines Park when the timetable finally slips. Nobody lights those and nobody schedules them, which is precisely the reason they want a photographer already on site instead of one arriving for the main event. They cost nothing to make and parents ask for them first.

Kaushik has created the perfect wedding albums for us to share with our loved ones forever, the family love them and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond our expectations. A true professional, great communication and an understanding individual throughout the whole process. Thank you!!!

Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!

Roshni R., Google review, 2022

Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.

The Reception

Every tradition

The Spoken Moments: Nikah Readings, Blessings and Family Words

On every one of these days somebody's word governs a photographer's movements, and identifying that person comes ahead of all else. It might be the officiant. It might be an uncle who has run every family occasion for thirty years. It might be whoever the hall has posted at the door. Asking costs a minute on arrival; assuming costs you a ceremony nobody can go back for. Nobody has ever minded being asked.

The words between families are the part couples never think to request. A nikah is largely speech, and speech photographs badly unless you are close enough to read a face. Elsewhere it is a blessing sung by somebody's grandmother, or an unrehearsed sentence from an older relative that quietens a room of four hundred. None of it announces itself. We stay in close through those passages instead of retreating to a safe wide frame that shows decoration and nothing else. Wide frames can be made later, when the speaking has finished.

Why choose us

More than 25 years behind the camera at multi-day weddings

Years behind the camera buy you no better camera. What they buy is an instinct for which ten minutes of a week are irreplaceable, plus the habit of standing there already. They also buy enough variety to stop you assuming your family will run it the way the previous one did.

Good to know

Asian weddings in Redbridge, FAQs

Everything delivered is graded and corrected by hand. Retouching is kept light: a blemish, a stray strap, a bin behind somebody's head. We do not reshape a face or a body, because in ten years that is what people spot first.

Absolutely. Redbridge Town Hall's first-floor Elizabeth Suite holds up to 30 guests including photographers, so a register office half can stay small and close, with the larger celebration following at a licensed venue such as Mayfair Venue in Chadwell Heath. We plan both halves as one schedule, giving each custom its own time and space, so neither ceremony is squeezed to make room for the other.

Eighteen months or so out is not too early, and summer Saturdays go earliest. If your date sits closer than that, write anyway. Gaps do appear, and short notice is not automatically a problem.

Yes. What decides those pictures is the approach rather than the arrival, so we walk the last stretch beforehand and work out where the sun sits. A horse gives you a minute or so of usable frontage in Redbridge.

It is held once your booking is confirmed, and not one day before. Dates picked this way often land midweek, which tends to work in your favour. Tell us the moment your family has settled on it.
