Excellent photography services before and during our wedding. Really enjoyed him being our photographer and he did a great job with the pictures. Working with him on the albums post wedding has been fantastic, he takes time to understand our ideas and portrays them in his work. Brilliant personality and very professional.

Nitesh P., Google review, 2016

Having had Mr Bathia to do our family studio photos with our first child, we again went for him second time round with our second child 5 years later. He is extremely good in getting our girls attention to capture lovely photos. He is a great photographer and would definitely recommend him.

Rajen S., Google review, 2019

The county

How Berkshire lies, from the Slough end to the Newbury end

Berkshire is a long, narrow county that runs west from the edge of London along the Thames and the Kennet, and from a studio in Northwood the eastern end is the near end. Slough sits about 10 miles away, Windsor about 12 and Maidenhead about 14. That eastern strip, made up of Slough Borough Council and the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, is the part of the county closest to us, and it is where a short weekday session is easiest to fit in.

The middle of the county is a belt of towns that grew up around heath, forest and the railway. Ascot is about 17 miles from the studio, Bracknell about 19, Wokingham about 22 and Sandhurst about 24. Bracknell was designated a new town in June 1949 and expanded in the 1960s, while Wokingham is an older market town with a Grade II* listed Victorian town hall in its Market Place. Swinley Forest and Windsor Great Park fill much of the land in between.

West of that, distances stretch. Reading, about 26 miles from the studio, is governed by Reading Borough Council as a unitary authority since 1998. Beyond it the Kennet valley carries the A4, the river and the Kennet and Avon Canal out to Thatcham, about 39 miles away, and Newbury, about 42. West Berkshire is the far end of the county for us, and we plan those journeys in advance rather than treating them as a quick hop.

Weddings

Wedding photography in every Berkshire borough

Weddings are not limited by distance, so a ceremony in Newbury is as welcome as one in Slough. Berkshire has no single county register office: each borough runs its own. Slough uses the Elizabeth Room at The Curve, the Royal Borough uses the Maidenhead Ceremony Room at the Town Hall, Bracknell Forest has a Ceremonies Room at Time Square, Wokingham has two rooms at its register office, Reading holds ceremonies at Reading Museum and Town Hall, and West Berkshire uses Shaw House in Newbury.

Wedding photography starts from £750 and packages are bespoke, built around the shape of your day. A second photographer, a pre-wedding shoot and a hand-finished album can all be added. Our Berkshire wedding photography page covers register offices, venue types and seasons in detail, and the Berkshire Asian wedding page covers multi-day Hindu, Sikh and Muslim celebrations, which matter a great deal in Berkshire: at the 2021 census 46.9 per cent of Slough's residents were Asian.

Sessions at home or outdoors

Family, portrait and pet sessions where you live in Berkshire

For sessions, Kaushik comes to you. That can mean your living room and garden, or a park a few minutes from your door. In Slough there is Herschel Park, a Grade II listed park laid out by Sir Joseph Paxton, with a lake and wildlife ponds, and Upton Court Park, the town's largest, with woodland, wetland and views of Windsor Castle. Around Maidenhead, Ray Mill Island beside Boulter's Lock has picnic areas and an aviary, though it can close between September and April when the river is high.

Further west, Lily Hill Park east of Bracknell town centre has an original yew walk and an Edwardian water garden, and Dinton Pastures Country Park near Wokingham has 350 acres of lakes, woodland and meadow. Reading has Prospect Park, its largest open space, with views across the Kennet Valley, and Newbury has Victoria Park, a Green Flag park with a restored bandstand. Session prices are given on request by phone or WhatsApp, and the travel from Northwood to your Berkshire park or home is set out in writing before you book.

Business

Headshots and commercial photography for Berkshire's business towns

Berkshire is a county of head offices. Outside London, Slough has the highest concentration of global company headquarters in the UK, with head offices of firms such as DHL, McAfee and Lego. Slough Trading Estate, founded in 1920 and owned by SEGRO, is the largest industrial estate in single private ownership in Europe. Bracknell is home to the Waitrose headquarters in its Southern Industrial Area, and Fujitsu, Dell and HP have operations in the town.

For a company in any of these places, the simplest arrangement is for Kaushik to bring a portable lighting kit to your office and photograph staff one after another in a meeting room or by a window. A run of corporate headshots can be matched in light and framing so a whole team looks consistent on a website. Product, premises and team photography for marketing is covered on the commercial photography page, and both are priced on request.

Distance and travel

What the miles mean, from Slough out to Newbury

We give mileage, not journey times, because Thames Valley traffic varies too much to promise a drive. Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead are between about 10 and 14 miles from Northwood, and Ascot and Bracknell are under 20. Wokingham, Sandhurst and Reading are between about 22 and 26 miles away, and Thatcham and Newbury are close to 40. For every one of those places, travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before anything is booked.

Distance never rules out a session. Families in the western half of the county can drive to the studio at 21 Joel Street in Northwood Hills instead, especially for newborn or studio portraits, and that option is always open. Or you can have Kaushik come to them in Reading or Newbury, which is equally fine. Either way, the travel from Northwood sits in your written quote before you book.

Asian wedding photography in Berkshire

Asian weddings in Berkshire often run over several days and several places, with a mehndi at home, a ceremony at a place of worship and a reception at a hotel or hall. Kaushik covers each event with its own timings, from Slough and Windsor in the east to Reading and West Berkshire, and the quote lists every day and every venue separately.

03

Family photography across Berkshire

Family sessions happen at your home or in a park near you, so children stay somewhere familiar. In Slough that might be Herschel Park, in Bracknell Lily Hill Park, and in Reading Prospect Park or Forbury Gardens. Sessions are relaxed and paced around naps and snacks, and the price is given on request by phone or WhatsApp.

04

Newborn photography at home in Berkshire

For newborn photography, Kaushik comes to your home in Berkshire with a warm setup, wraps and props, which saves a new family a car journey in the first fortnight. Parents in Slough, Windsor or Maidenhead are around 10 to 14 miles from the studio and can choose to visit Northwood instead. Sessions are booked loosely around your due date and fixed after the birth.

Maternity photoshoots in Berkshire

A maternity photoshoot works well in the later weeks of pregnancy, either at home, in the Northwood studio, or outdoors. Berkshire has plenty of gentle settings for it: the Valley Gardens in Windsor Great Park, the lakeside paths at Dinton Pastures, or the walled garden at Caversham Court in Reading. Kaushik keeps the session short and seated breaks frequent.

Couples and engagement shoots in Berkshire

A couples photoshoot can be an engagement shoot, an anniversary or a pre-wedding session before a Berkshire wedding. The Long Walk towards Windsor Castle, the river paths around Maidenhead's bridges and the parkland at Donnington Castle near Newbury each give a different feel. It is also the easiest way to get used to the camera before the wedding day.

07

Headshots in Berkshire offices and the studio

Individual headshots can be taken at your office or in the Northwood studio. For firms in Slough, Bracknell or Reading, Kaushik sets up a portable studio on site and works through a list of staff with matching light, and corporate headshot days are priced on request by phone or WhatsApp.

Portrait photography across Berkshire

Portrait sessions suit graduates, performers, parents and anyone who needs a good photograph of themselves. Kaushik can meet you at a location near home, such as the Forbury Gardens in Reading or Victoria Park in Newbury, or you can visit the Northwood studio, about 10 miles from Slough, for controlled lighting and a plain backdrop.

Event and christening photography in Berkshire

Birthdays, anniversaries, religious ceremonies and company events across Berkshire are covered under event photography, and christenings have their own page under christening photography. Kaushik moves quietly through the room, covers speeches and family groups, and agrees the hours and the travel from Northwood in writing beforehand.

Pet photography in Berkshire

Pet sessions work in your garden or a park your dog already knows. Lily Hill Park in Bracknell has cold-water taps for dogs, and the Nature Discovery Centre in Thatcham welcomes dogs on a lead away from the lake. Kaushik brings patience and treats, and the price is given on request.

Commercial and product photography in Berkshire

Commercial photography covers products, premises and staff for websites and brochures. Businesses on Slough Trading Estate, in Bracknell's Southern Industrial Area or in central Reading can book a shoot on site, and smaller products can be sent to the Northwood studio instead. Pricing depends on the brief and is given on request.

Planning

Planning around Berkshire

01

Eastern Berkshire is the near side

Slough, Windsor and Maidenhead sit between about 10 and 14 miles from the Northwood studio, so weekday sessions and short evening shoots fit easily there.

02

The west needs a little planning

Reading is about 26 miles away and Newbury about 42, so sessions out west are booked with a set start time and travel quoted in writing.

03

Each borough has its own registrars

Slough, the Royal Borough, Bracknell Forest, Wokingham, Reading and West Berkshire each run their own ceremony rooms, so check which council covers your venue.

04

Office headshots on the trading estates

Teams in Slough or Bracknell can be photographed at their own desks or meeting rooms, with lighting brought in so nobody has to leave the building.

05

Parks with seasonal closures

Guards Club Island in Maidenhead closes from December to June, and Ray Mill Island can close in winter when the Thames is high, so pick a back-up spot.

Yes. Kaushik brings lighting and a backdrop to your office, sets up in a meeting room and photographs people in turn, so the working day carries on around it. It suits the larger employers on Slough Trading Estate and Bracknell's business areas, and smaller firms too.

Yes. Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Gujarati, Tamil and Punjabi weddings are covered across Berkshire, including multi-day celebrations with mehndi, sangeet, haldi, nikah, walima and reception. Slough, where 46.9 per cent of residents were Asian at the 2021 census, is about 10 miles from the studio.

Your garden is often the calmest place. Outdoors, Salt Hill Park and Upton Court Park in Slough, Braywick Park in Maidenhead and Lily Hill Park in Bracknell all welcome dogs, though Braywick asks for leads on the sports pitches. In Windsor's Deer Park dogs must stay on a short lead.
