The short answer

Your Asian wedding photographer in Welwyn, at a glance

An award winning, London based Asian wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings in Welwyn and across Hertfordshire. We capture the emotion of the day honestly, from the laughter of the sangeet to the tears of the farewell. We photograph every Asian wedding tradition in Welwyn, from the Hindu mandap and pheras to the Sikh Anand Karaj, the Muslim nikah and the Tamil muhurtham, across multi day celebrations. One studio comfortable across Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati and Tamil weddings means you brief one experienced team, not several, for the whole celebration. A second photographer, a female photographer for segregated events and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Serving Welwyn

Beautiful Asian wedding photography in Welwyn

Welwyn is a historic village in the Mimram valley. We regularly photograph Asian weddings throughout Welwyn Garden City, Codicote and Knebworth and the surrounding part of Hertfordshire. At the gurdwara, the couple's walk around the Guru Granth Sahib during each laav is captured with reverence.

We capture the details too, the flowers, the jewellery, the mandap and the mehndi, that make your day yours. The food, the decor and the small details matter to us, so between the big set pieces we quietly gather the textures that make your day yours. For the jaimala and the joota chupai we stay close to the fun, because these lighter rituals carry as much of the family's character as the solemn ones.

Wherever your venues sit across Welwyn and the towns beyond it, we plan the route with care. Welwyn is a historic village in the Mimram valley, and we know it, Wheathampstead and Harpenden alike. We are at home at Welwyn-area venues such as Tewinbury and Brocket Hall.

Welwyn is a historic village in the Mimram valley, sitting on the line of a Roman road where a Romano-British settlement once stood. Welwyn North station serves the village on the East Coast Main Line, and the A1(M) motorway runs close by. For portraits away from the celebration, The Mimram valley meadows beneath the 40 arch Digswell Viaduct works beautifully, and The Welwyn Roman Baths, third century remains preserved beneath the A1(M) adds a real sense of place.

What we offer

What is included in your Welwyn Asian wedding coverage

01

Fusion & Mixed-Faith

Two families' customs blended and photographed with equal care.

02

Hindu & Gujarati Weddings

At home with the mandap, the pheras, the pithi and the hastamelap.

03

The Vidaai

The farewell carries some of the deepest feeling of the day, and we hold those final embraces with the quiet they deserve.

Every tradition

The Mandap, the Palki and the Rites Within

In the gurdwara, the couple circle the Guru Granth Sahib through the four laavan, and we follow that slow procession with the reverence the moment asks for. At a Gujarati mandap we know the hastamelap and the four mangal pheras, and we photograph them in the order your priest keeps rather than a generic script. The joining of hands, the knotting of the couple's garments and their first shared steps carry a marriage forward, and we document each stage as it comes.

For Muslim families the walima is a warm celebration in its own right, and we cover it in full. The farewell, when the bride leaves her family, is the most tender moment of many Asian weddings. From the first event to the last, we tell the full story of the celebration.

The whole celebration

A Celebration That Deserves Every Day Recorded

For large pre-wedding gatherings a second photographer makes sure two moments at once are captured. We tailor the hours to your events, whether it is one key day or a long weekend of celebrations.

We capture the reception in full, the speeches, the first dance and the bhangra. By the time the dancing starts, we have already learned your family, so the reception frames feel easy and familiar rather than a scramble to catch strangers in the dark.

Why choose us

Why Asian couples in Welwyn choose us

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.

Multi-venue days are never an issue; we plan the route and the timings in advance. From our London base the towns of Hertfordshire are an easy and familiar run, and we are happy to travel further afield when your day calls for it.

Peak and auspicious dates book up well ahead across every tradition, so we recommend enquiring as early as you can. Tell us your wedding date and the events you are planning, and we will confirm our availability straight away.
