Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!
Kaushik was great when he took photos of our wedding, and was equally great when doing a family studio session, involving entertaining 8 children (ages 0 up to 11).
Had such an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia Photography 馃摳 The whole shoot felt super fun and comfortable, and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! Highly recommend if you want natural vibes and stunning shots.
What we photograph in Burnt Oak
Weddings, portraits and business work
Burnt Oak is a residential district built around the historic Watling Estate. The studio in Northwood suits headshots and portraits, and weddings and events can be covered at venues, churches and temples across Edgware, Colindale and Mill Hill. Muslim and Asian weddings follow their own customs and move quickly, so for a Burnt Oak booking we would go through the running order of each function with you beforehand and agree where the camera can stand.
Weddings, engagements and family portraits sit at the centre of our work, and a Burnt Oak booking gets the same planning whether it is a portrait on the Watling Estate, a conservation area since 2007, or a garden birthday. Barnet's register office, once at Burnt Oak, moved in February 2017 to Hendon Town Hall on The Burroughs, a Grade II listed building opened in 1901, and we can shape coverage around a short civil ceremony there as readily as a week of family celebrations. Cake smash sessions for one year olds are quick and chaotic, so we set up in the studio before you arrive and follow your child's lead once the cake goes down.
On the commercial side we photograph products, staff, events and pets, and each shoot is planned in advance so it keeps to time. Traders on the Broadway and Watling Avenue, the two shopping parades of Burnt Oak town centre, can book product images, team headshots or event coverage delivered as ready-to-use files. Old family photographs can be restored, favourite prints enlarged and framed, and passport and visa pictures taken to the official rules.

Close by for Burnt Oak
For a shoot in Burnt Oak, we start by choosing the right setting. Location sessions can also take in Colindale, Mill Hill and the neighbouring parts of Greater London. Nearby venues include Cavendish Banqueting Hall on the Edgware Road in Colindale.
Burnt Oak in the London Borough of Barnet grew around the Watling Estate, built by the London County Council between 1924 and 1931 and now home to 4,032 homes on 387 acres. Much of the district's character still comes from the estate's original streets and green spaces. Burnt Oak Underground station, opened on 27 October 1924, sits between Edgware and Colindale on the Northern line's Edgware branch, in fare zone 4. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, Watling Park, inside the Watling Estate, is one option, with oak trees on its hill, a small rose garden and Burnt Oak Brook running through it.
For a family session we would suggest Silkstream Park on Silkstream Road, a 4.48-hectare linear park with the Silk Stream, mature trees and play areas for younger children, or you can come to the studio instead. Studio appointments and visits to Burnt Oak can be arranged around school runs, shift patterns and special occasions.

Photography in Burnt Oak, frequently asked questions
Portrait and headshot galleries are usually ready within a couple of weeks, and wedding galleries, being larger, take longer to edit. If you need images by a certain date, mention it when you book and we will plan the edit around it where we can.
No, you receive a hand-edited selection rather than every frame from the camera. Blinks, duplicates and missed moments are taken out, and the strongest frames are finished with care.
Yes, product work is shot in the Northwood studio, where the lighting and background stay the same from one item to the next. Items can be shot on plain white for online listings and catalogues, or styled to suit your brand. Drop the items at the studio with a note on where the images will be used, and we will return sharp, accurate files.
Yes, we cover conferences, launches, awards nights and staff celebrations. We work quietly around speakers and guests so the programme runs as planned. The edited set suits press, internal channels and social media, and comes back quickly so it can be shared while the event is still news.
In the studio we offer plain white, grey or black backdrops, which work well for LinkedIn and company websites. For a more relaxed look, we can shoot outdoors or against a softly blurred office. Whichever you pick, the style stays consistent across the whole team.
Finished images come as high resolution files in an online gallery you can view, download and pass on. Prints, enlargements and albums can be ordered through us from that gallery at any time. A physical keepsake can be arranged if you would rather have something to hold.
A few weeks' notice is usually enough to agree the colours and theme. Aim for a date close to the first birthday, when most babies sit steadily and are curious about everything. Maternity and newborn sessions can be planned alongside it if you want the whole first year covered.
