The short answer
For couples marrying in Redditch, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning Asian wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience across every tradition and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. We work discreetly around the priest, the granthi or the imam, never intruding on a sacred moment. Multi day Asian weddings are a speciality in Redditch, from the pre wedding events and the baraat to the ceremony and the reception, whatever your tradition. We have spent twenty-five years learning the detail of Asian weddings, and it shows in every gallery. A second photographer, a female photographer for segregated events and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Worcestershire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving Redditch
Redditch is a Worcestershire town near Birmingham. Couples come to us from across the Midlands, and Bromsgrove, Studley and Alvechurch are firmly on our patch. We are ready for the giving of the sindoor and the tying of the mangalsutra at a Hindu ceremony.
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 bring a long lens and a light touch, so the most sacred parts of the day are captured from a respectful distance. 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.
We travel across Worcestershire for weddings of every tradition, and Redditch is a Worcestershire town near Birmingham, which makes it a straightforward and welcome destination. We also cover nearby Bromsgrove and Worcester. Redditch and the towns around it offer venues such as Old Rectory House, Southcrest Manor and Bordesley Park, all familiar to us.
Redditch is a Worcestershire town that grew as a centre of the needle and fishing tackle manufacturing industry, later expanded as a New Town. Redditch railway station is the southern terminus of the Cross City Line to Birmingham New Street and Lichfield, with the M42 close by. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Arrow Valley Country Park, with its lake and open parkland along the River Arrow, and Forge Mill Needle Museum and the ruins of medieval Bordesley Abbey gives the day a strong sense of Redditch.

What we offer
The colour and movement of a garba call for a photographer who can keep pace and stay inside the dance.
The muhurtham and the tying of the thali, captured with care and respect.
For large celebrations, a second shooter covers the baraat and the preparations at once.
Every tradition
We work quietly around the priest, the granthi or the imam so the ceremony is never disturbed. When the couple rise as husband and wife and turn to their families, we are already facing them, ready for the smiles that follow the solemnity. 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 dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration. The reception is the joyful finale, with speeches, the first dance and the bhangra.

The whole celebration
Sangeet nights belong to the aunties and uncles who have been rehearsing for weeks, and we make sure their performances are held properly, not lost in the noise of the crowd. We arrive in good time for each pre-wedding event and stay until the celebrations wind down.
Between the ceremony and the reception there is often a great deal of waiting, and we use that time well, gathering portraits and quiet family moments while the room resets. Ceremonies with many small rites need a photographer who knows what is coming, and years of these days mean we rarely miss the exchange, the blessing or the tears behind it.
Why choose us
Twenty-five years behind the lens means we know exactly what comes next, whatever the faith. Twenty-five years in, we still prepare for each wedding as though it were our first, learning your family's particular customs before we lift a camera.
We are based in London and think nothing of the drive across Worcestershire, so travelling to your venues is simply part of how we work. From our London base, Redditch and the rest of Worcestershire are an easy, familiar journey.

Where we travel
We cover the whole of the UK for Asian weddings, so wherever your family gathers, distance is never the reason to look elsewhere. We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire.

Good to know
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.
With respect for the space and its customs. We remove our shoes, cover our heads where required and stay mindful of areas we should not enter. Knowing how these venues work lets us find quiet vantage points, so we document the ceremony without ever intruding on it.
Yes. Alongside your album we provide an online gallery of your edited images, which you can share easily with family whether they are near Redditch or overseas. Relatives who could not attend the wedding can then see the day and, where you wish, order their own prints.
Ceremony halls and prayer rooms can be dimly lit, and we are used to it. We rely on fast lenses and careful technique to keep images clean and natural, avoiding harsh flash during sacred moments. Where a little light is needed for the reception, we use it discreetly.
Yes, we do. A pre-wedding shoot is a lovely way to grow comfortable in front of the camera before the big day, and we are glad to arrange one at a spot in Redditch that means something to you.
Of course. Many Asian families set the wedding date by an auspicious muhurat, and popular dates book up early. Once you are ready, we secure your Redditch date with a booking, and we recommend enquiring well ahead so your chosen photographer is free when the time comes.
Yes. We travel to Redditch and right across the surrounding area for Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings. Asian weddings of every tradition are our speciality, we are London-based and used to journeys of every kind, and distance is never a problem.
