Kaushik has created the perfect wedding albums for us to share with our loved ones forever, the family love them and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond our expectations. A true professional, great communication and an understanding individual throughout the whole process. Thank you!!!
…I felt the session was flexible and took into account the limited attention span of a 5 year old child! We had numerous photos taken of us, separately and together in three different outfits. We were very happy with the results and found it difficult to shortlist our favourites from soo many amazing photos. I would highly recommend them.
Highly recommend!!! I came from Qatar and found this famous Photographer Kaushik Bathia who took my photographs! Absolutely incredible. He touched up on blemishes and really made the photo look so beautiful!
What we photograph in Carpenders Park
From christenings to company profiles
Carpenders Park is a suburb of Watford in the Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire, close to the Greater London boundary. Whether it is a headshot at the studio or a wedding at a venue in Oxhey or Abbots Langley, we photograph clients at home, in gardens and on business premises. Graduations, milestone birthdays and family reunions can be photographed at home, at the studio, or outdoors at a spot such as The Mead Wildflower Meadow, where a crushed granite path runs through bee and butterfly friendly flowers and grasses.
Weddings range from multi-day Asian celebrations to small civil ceremonies, such as those Watford Register Office is currently holding at Cheslyn House for up to 20 guests, and each is planned with the same care. The booking might be a newborn shoot, a family reunion or a milestone birthday, and each one is prepared for properly. For a first-birthday cake smash we set up before you arrive, work fast, and let your one-year-old decide the pace.
For businesses that means product photography and event coverage, for professionals it means headshots, and in both cases the files arrive ready to use. On the business side there are conferences and corporate events, branding and product sets for small firms, and clean headshots for CVs, websites and acting portfolios. LinkedIn headshots, acting portfolios and personal branding portraits are each lit individually, to suit the sitter and where the picture will be used.

Photography in Carpenders Park, frequently asked questions
Of course. When your gallery arrives, prints in a choice of sizes can be ordered straight from us. We print in house, which keeps the colour and detail matching what you approved on screen. Favourite frames can be enlarged and framed too, ready to go up on a wall at home.
Absolutely. Weddings have been central to the studio since 2001, whether the ceremony is with Watford Register Office, currently held at Cheslyn House, or at a licensed venue such as Grim's Dyke Hotel in Harrow Weald. On the day we can follow you from getting ready at home in Carpenders Park, through the ceremony and on into the evening, working quietly in a documentary way. If you are marrying in Carpenders Park or nearby Hertfordshire, see our dedicated wedding pages for coverage, timings, and album details.
Yes, at the Northwood studio, where lighting and background stay identical from one shot to the next. Product shots can be made on plain white for an online shop or catalogue, or styled to suit your brand. Drop the items at the studio with a note on where the pictures will appear, and the results will be sharp and colour-accurate.
Yes, and we are happy to come to wherever the event is being held. Whether it is an awards evening, a launch or a conference day, we work discreetly, photographing speakers, guests and the room without interrupting the running order. The edited set comes back quickly, sized for internal use, press and social media, so the highlights can go out while people are still talking about the event.
Yes, for Carpenders Park families of any size, from a new baby to three generations together. A session can be at the Northwood studio or outdoors close to home, for example in Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve, which has a free car park at the junction of Prestwick Road and Oxhey Drive, and we keep the pace easy so children relax. What we are after is warm, natural portraits that show how your family looks together at this stage.
Each delivered image is adjusted by hand for colour, exposure and tone, so the set hangs together. There are no heavy filters, so the pictures still look like the day did. Anything picked for an album or a large print gets a further, closer edit.
It is a blend. For the most part we stay in the background and photograph what happens, so you rarely notice the camera. If a frame needs help, a quick suggestion does the job; stiff posing never comes into it. The result looks relaxed without looking careless.
