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.

…Kaushik is incredibly talented, artistic, and truly gifted with a photographer’s vision. He knows exactly what he wants each frame to look like and how to get the best out of his subjects. Honestly, there were moments during the shoot when I’d wonder, “What is he making me do?” – but when I saw the final shots, I was blown away. Every image looked beautiful, intentional, and natural.

Amrita A., Google review, 2025

A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.

Indian wedding photography in London

Most searches for an Indian wedding photographer in London are for the same celebrations this page covers: Hindu, Gujarati, Punjabi Sikh and Tamil weddings, alongside Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other Muslim weddings. Each has its own order of events, and the coverage is planned around yours.

How London Asian weddings tend to run

  • Several events over several days, often the mehndi, a sangeet or maiyan, the ceremony and one or more receptions.
  • The ceremony at a temple, gurdwara, mosque or mandap, and the reception at a banqueting hall or hotel, sometimes on the same day.
  • Large guest lists, with family group photographs that matter as much as the couple portraits.
  • London traffic between venues, so the timings are agreed with you at the planning meeting.

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 Birmingham, 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.

Choosing an Asian wedding photographer in London

Couples comparing Asian wedding photographers in London usually want the same few things answered. These are the questions worth asking anyone you are considering, us included.

  • Who will actually photograph the day? Ask whether the person whose work you have seen is the person who turns up.
  • Do they know your ceremony? A Sikh Anand Karaj, a Hindu phera ceremony and a nikah each have moments that happen once and quickly.
  • Can they cover several events and venues? Ask how they handle a mehndi, a ceremony and a reception across different days.
  • Is a second photographer available? For the largest celebrations it lets both families be covered at the same time.
  • What is in the quote? Ask for the events, the hours, any album and the travel costs in writing before you book.
  • Can you see albums and full galleries? A highlights reel shows the strongest frames, while a full gallery shows how a whole day is handled.
  • What do past couples say? Look at the overall rating and the number of reviews, not just a few quotes.

Our full list is in questions to ask an Asian wedding photographer, and our guide to Asian wedding photographer costs in London explains what shapes a quote.

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.

In England and Wales a religious ceremony is only legally binding if the building is registered for marriages and a registrar or authorised person is present. Many temples and gurdwaras are not registered, so many couples hold a separate civil ceremony. Check with your venue and local register office. We can photograph the civil ceremony as well as the religious one.
