A wedding specialism

What does an Asian wedding photographer cover?

An Asian wedding photographer covers a sequence of events over several days rather than a single ceremony: typically the mehndi, a sangeet or maiyan, the religious ceremony itself and one or more receptions, often at more than one venue. Kaushik Bathia, established in 2001, covers Hindu, Sikh, Gujarati, Punjabi, Muslim and Tamil weddings. He works from the studio in Northwood HA6 and travels across London, the Home Counties and the rest of the UK. Coverage starts from £750, a second photographer is available for the largest events, and every wedding is delivered as an edited digital gallery with hand-finished albums as an option. You can see recent work in the gallery and read our venue guides, from the Oshwal Centre to Hatfield House. Asian weddings are our speciality. We work calmly and unobtrusively across multi-day, multi-venue celebrations, and we travel wherever your celebration takes place.

How we work

Calm, unobtrusive coverage of every event

An Asian wedding moves quickly and rarely pauses, so we work quietly and stay a step ahead of the day. We read the rhythm of each ceremony, anticipate the rituals, and photograph the sacred moments from a respectful distance while still catching the colour, the dancing and the family moments in between.

We plan for large guest lists and several venues in a single day, and we bring a second photographer for the busiest celebrations so the ceremony and the guests are both fully covered. We cover Asian weddings across the country, including Leicester, Birmingham, Croydon, Wembley, Southall and Harrow. For planning, our guides on cost, the wedding timeline and questions to ask your photographer are a good place to start.

Good to know

Asian wedding photography, frequently asked questions

Asian wedding coverage starts from £750 and is priced around the celebration rather than a fixed package. A mehndi, a sangeet or maiyan, the religious ceremony and a reception can span several days and more than one venue. The number of days, the number of events each day, whether a second photographer covers the bride and groom simultaneously, the travel between venues, and whether you add a hand-finished album are what move the figure. Our guide to Asian wedding photographer costs in London sets out what shapes a quote. Send us your dates and event list for tailored options.
