The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed Asian weddings across the West Midlands for over twenty five years, and couples in Solihull choose him for calm, knowledgeable coverage of every tradition, backed by five European Gold awards. We let the day unfold at its own pace and meet it with a quiet, watchful eye. We photograph every Asian wedding tradition in Solihull, from the Hindu mandap and pheras to the Sikh Anand Karaj, the Muslim nikah and the Tamil muhurtham, across multi day celebrations. 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. You can add a second photographer, a female photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across the West Midlands and beyond, so wherever your celebration is held it is within reach.
Serving Solihull
Solihull is an affluent town near Birmingham with grand venues. Across the West Midlands, including Shirley, Knowle and Dorridge, we photograph the colour and devotion of every Asian tradition. We photograph the seven steps of the saptapadi and the couple's first steps as a married pair.
We are a reassuring, familiar presence, so everyone relaxes and the day flows naturally. We blend candid storytelling with a handful of timeless, beautifully lit portraits. 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.
We have photographed weddings in and around Solihull for years, and Solihull is an affluent town near Birmingham with grand venues, which makes its venues and its traffic no mystery to us. We also cover nearby West Bromwich and Walsall. Solihull and the towns around it offer venues such as Nuthurst Grange, The Limes Country Lodge Hotel and Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel, all familiar to us.
Solihull is an affluent town on the south eastern edge of Birmingham known for its historic High Street and green suburbs. Solihull railway station lies on the Chiltern line to London Marylebone, with the M42 running past the town. When there is time for couple portraits, Malvern Park and the adjoining Brueton Park beside the River Blythe is a favourite, and The medieval St Alphege Church in the town centre makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
Mehndi, sangeet, ceremony and reception across several days, with second photographers for large events.
The muhurtham and the tying of the thali, captured with care and respect.
As you circle the sacred fire, we photograph each round and the blessing that follows without ever crowding the mandap.
Every tradition
A nikah turns on the giving of consent, the mehr and the signing of the contract, and we record each with the dignity the occasion carries. We know the order of the rituals in each tradition, so we are always in position. A ceremony is a sequence of small sacred acts, not one photograph, and we tell it as the story it is, from the first ritual to the last.
Away from the couple, cousins reunite, aunts organise and children weave through the crowd, and we watch the family moments that fill the edges of the day. The dhol and dancing of the baraat are pure joy, and we capture every bit of the energy. The bride's farewell, as she leaves her parents' home, is the most tender passage of many Asian weddings, and we photograph it with the gentleness it deserves.

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. Some couples keep an elaborate sequence of events across several faiths' customs; we shape coverage to yours.
We capture the reception in full, the speeches, the first dance and the bhangra. A wedding that moves between temple, hall and reception needs coverage that moves with it, and we handle those transitions so your day reads as one story, not three.
Why choose us
You are trusting your one wedding day to us, and we honour that with the steadiness of twenty-five years and a genuine understanding of Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil custom. We are trusted with celebrations of every size, from intimate ceremonies to several hundred guests.
We are London-based and travel across the West Midlands and the wider region for Asian weddings. Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the timings in advance.

Where we travel
Much of our work takes us well beyond London, and the venues of the West Midlands are journeys we make gladly and often. We are used to celebrations spread across several venues, and keep the day flowing between them.

Good to know
We photograph Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Muslim and Tamil weddings, and we have done so for more than 25 years across over a thousand celebrations. Each faith has its own rhythm and rituals, so we adapt our documentary approach to suit whichever tradition your family follows.
Yes. Sikh weddings in Solihull 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.
Yes. We have photographed the muhurtham, the tying of the thali and the many rituals of Tamil and South Indian weddings in Solihull and beyond, and we understand their early timings and their sequence well.
Yes. Many couples enjoy a pre-wedding shoot as a gentle way to get used to the camera before the big day, and we would gladly arrange one at a location in Solihull that you love.
Yes. We can begin with the mehndi and sangeet earlier in the week and carry through to the main ceremony and reception, giving your whole celebration a single, consistent visual story. Where the mehndi is a ladies-only event, a female photographer can cover it for you.
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.
Our approach is documentary at heart. We follow the day as it happens, recording the rituals, the emotion and the small in-between moments rather than interrupting them. We will guide you gently for family groups and a few portraits, but the story of the day is told honestly.
