Kaushik Bathia is an award winning Asian wedding photographer based in London, photographing Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings in Shrewsbury and throughout Shropshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. When the baraat arrives with drums and dancing we are in the thick of it, moving with the crowd so the welcome looks and feels exactly as loud as it was. Whether your wedding in Shrewsbury 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. We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from intimate ceremonies to several hundred guests. 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 Shropshire for your wedding.

Serving Shrewsbury

Fine-Art Asian Wedding Coverage Throughout Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is a historic county town in a loop of the Severn. Across Telford, Bayston Hill and Wem and the wider reaches of Shropshire, we cover ceremonies in mandaps, marquees and grand reception suites with the same careful eye. The kanyadaan and the joining of hands at the mandap are photographed with quiet care.

We make sure the families are in the story too, not just the couple. 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. 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.

Asian families throughout the area have trusted us with their weddings, and Shrewsbury is a historic county town in a loop of the Severn, a destination we return to gladly. Nearby Telford and Worcester are familiar to us too. Venues we know well in and near Shrewsbury include Albright Hussey Manor Hotel, Rowton Castle and Albrighton Hall.

Shrewsbury is the historic county town of Shropshire, set within a loop of the River Severn and the birthplace of Charles Darwin. Shrewsbury railway station is a junction served by lines from Birmingham, Crewe and Wales, with the A5 and A49 close by. For portraits away from the celebration, The Quarry park with its sunken Dingle gardens beside the Severn works beautifully, and Shrewsbury Castle and the medieval Shrewsbury Abbey adds a real sense of place.

What we offer

What is included in your Shrewsbury Asian wedding coverage

Family Moments

The milni, the blessings and the gatherings, so the whole family is remembered.

Grand Entrances

Whether by baraat, doli or a lit-up reception walk, we make sure your entrance is caught in full and never half-framed.

The Reception

The speeches, the first dance and the bhangra, captured to the very last guest.

Every tradition

From mehndi to reception, across every faith

We are ready for the giving of the sindoor and the tying of the mangalsutra at a Hindu ceremony. 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 are mindful of every family's customs at the ceremony, and photograph them exactly as they happen.

We photograph the milni, when the two families meet, with all of its warmth. For Gujarati families the garba and raas fill an evening with circling colour and movement, and we love following the dandiya sticks and the swirling skirts. The reception carries the celebration into the night with speeches, the first dance and the floor filling for the bhangra, and we stay to the final song.

The whole celebration

The Complete Picture of Your Multi-Day Event

Haldi mornings tend to be messy and full of feeling, so we keep our distance where it helps and move in close when the turmeric starts flying between cousins. When the henna artist works late into the evening, we sit with the patience of it, photographing the detail on your hands and the faces of everyone waiting their turn.

We capture the reception in full, the speeches, the first dance and the bhangra. Long days test everyone, so we keep our footing calm and our timing steady, catching the guru's words, the shared glances and the quiet exhale once the vows are done.

Why choose us

Twenty-five years of Asian weddings

We have stood quietly beside the sacred fire, walked the gurdwara with the couple and waited for the thali to be tied, so nothing about your ceremony is unfamiliar. Knowing the running order of a Sikh Anand Karaj, a Gujarati hastamelap or a Tamil muhurtham means we are never caught out by a sudden change of pace.

From our London base the towns of Shropshire are an easy and familiar run, and we are happy to travel further afield when your day calls for it. We are London-based and travel across Shropshire and the wider region for Asian weddings.

Where we travel

Happy to Travel Beyond Shrewsbury for Your Day

We cover the Midlands and beyond, and are glad to travel further afield on request. We are glad to discuss your venues and the journey between them when you enquire.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Shrewsbury, frequently asked questions

Do you take formal family group photographs at Asian weddings?+

We do, and we know these matter enormously to elder relatives. We plan a group list with you beforehand so we can gather everyone efficiently, usually after the ceremony, without keeping guests waiting. The rest of the day we spend recording things as they naturally unfold.

Can you provide a female or second photographer for segregated events?+

Yes. Where events in Shrewsbury are held separately or segregated, we can arrange additional photographers, so every part of the day is covered with sensitivity and discretion. Tell us what your family needs when you enquire, and we will plan the coverage around it.

Are you experienced with Sikh weddings in Shrewsbury?+

Yes. Sikh weddings in Shrewsbury are familiar ground for us. 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 around it.

How many photographs will we receive from a multi-day wedding?+

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.

Do you travel to Shrewsbury for Asian weddings?+

Gladly. Asian weddings of every tradition are our speciality, and Shrewsbury sits well within the area we cover for Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil celebrations. We are London-based and used to journeys of every kind, so distance is never a problem.

Do you photograph the mehndi and sangeet nights before the wedding?+

Yes, these evenings are some of our favourites. The mehndi, sangeet and garba are full of colour, music and family energy, and they set the tone for everything that follows. We record them in a relaxed, observational style so the laughter and dancing come through honestly.

How do you approach a wedding held at a mandir or gurdwara?+

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.
