Superb and highly professional wedding photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Kaushik Bathia Photography for a recent wedding at Orchardleigh Estate.
Very pleased with the quality of photographs. Kaushik is very patient and accommodating with requests, and full of enthusiasm and energy. His friendly demeanour immediately put us at ease, resulting in some wonderful family pictures. Would recommend him to family and friends.
I went the studio for the photoshoot and Mr Batia is proffessional, courteous ,efficient and cheerful. I love my photos and will come again. Highly recommend.
What we photograph in Bushey
Personal shoots and professional ones
Bushey is an unparished town in the Hertfordshire borough of Hertsmere. Sessions run at our studio in Northwood or wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue in Bushey itself or nearby in Watford, Stanmore or Oxhey. For a small civil wedding, Hertfordshire's Watford Register Office is at 31 Hempstead Road; while its ceremony room is closed for building work, ceremonies for up to 20 guests are held at Cheslyn House nearby.
Weddings of every tradition, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and civil, sit alongside engagements, family sessions and smaller milestones in what we offer Bushey. Birthdays, anniversaries and new arrivals can all be photographed at home in Bushey, at the Northwood studio or outdoors in the town, whichever suits the occasion. If a christening takes you to the Church of St James, whose chancel dates from around 1250 and which stands by the village pond in old Bushey, we would photograph the family outside once the service is over.
Walk-in passport and visa photos, framing and enlargement, and the restoration of damaged old prints are handled at the studio day to day. Business owners can book headshots and branding images, actors can book portfolio shots, and companies can book event coverage. Headshots for professionals and actors are given unhurried attention, and so are product shoots and corporate events for Bushey firms.

Why book us in Bushey
Why an established photographer is worth it for Bushey
Having one photographer for the wedding, the family portraits that follow and a headshot for work keeps the style consistent across all of them. More than 25 years of work covers a lot of ground, so a relaxed family sitting and a crisp corporate headshot are equally familiar requests.
We travel to Bushey for on-location sessions and cover the surrounding area too. Travel to Bushey from Northwood is not charged, and we go further across Hertfordshire for weddings, events and portraits too.
Once the pictures are edited, a private online gallery link arrives with the full set in high resolution. Prints, frames and albums are made up at the Northwood studio, so the pictures from a Bushey session can go straight on the wall or the shelf.

Good to know
Photography in Bushey, frequently asked questions
Yes, pets can be photographed alone or alongside the rest of the family. The animal sets the pace, so nobody expects a perfect sit in the first minute. Treats, toys and patience do most of the work, and outdoors in Bushey both Bushey Rose Garden and parts of King George Recreation Ground welcome dogs.
We do. For shops, offices and firms around Bushey that means product photography, branding images, staff headshots and coverage of company events, either on your premises or at the Northwood studio. Catalogue shots are made against clean backgrounds in the studio and event pictures on the day, and both arrive as files sized for the web, for print and for marketing. Tell us what the images are for and we will put the brief and the cost in writing.
Pick clothes everyone is comfortable in, coordinated rather than identical. Plain, soft colours suit a family group, and loud logos or busy prints tend to draw the eye away from faces. If the session is outdoors, say at King George Recreation Ground, dress for the weather as well as for the photographs. Send us the options beforehand if you would like a second opinion.
At 21 Joel St we start with a drink and a run through the plan, so any questions are answered before the camera comes out. Let us know about any access needs before the day and we will do what we can to help.
Plain, well-fitted clothes in colours suited to your line of work photograph best. For most business and LinkedIn portraits a shirt, with or without a jacket, is enough; bold patterns and visible logos are best left at home. Press the shirt the night before and bring a second one just in case. Before the first frame we check collars, ties and jacket lines, so the portrait is ready for a company website straight away.
High-resolution digital files come with most sessions, so you can keep, share and print the pictures freely. What comes with each package varies, and prints, albums and frames are usually ordered on top. Your written quote lists all of it before you book.
With an established independent studio, the person who answers your enquiry is the person who hands over the final print. For outdoor sessions we would look at Bushey Rose Garden, a Grade II registered garden created in 1913 by Thomas Mawson with Sir Hubert von Herkomer, and we are easy to reach by phone if you have a question. Booking us also keeps your custom with an independent studio that has been in Northwood since 2001.
