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.

Deepika G., Google review, 2016

I was nervous about how my 2 year old would react, but we had a great photo session! Kaushik had plenty of props to keep my son entertained, laughing, and happily posing.Afterward, he was incredibly patient as we went through every single photo to pick our favorites, even though we kept changing our minds. I highly recommend his service and will definitely be back once my second baby is born!

Shahparak Z., Google review, 2026

I had an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia. They were professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable during the shoot. The photos came out beautifully — natural, vibrant, and exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend

What we photograph in Chesham

From christenings to company portraits

Chesham is a market town in the Chess Valley in the Chiltern Hills. A proposal, the wedding, a first baby, a first birthday: each stage can be photographed as your family grows.

With young families we keep things unhurried, from maternity through newborn to the first birthday, and let the child set the pace. Christenings and naming days are photographed with a light touch, whether the service is at a church such as St Mary's in Chesham Old Town or the celebration is at home. Some families want a formal set of portraits, others a loose hour among the trees in Lowndes Park, and we are glad to do either at the pace that suits you.

For businesses on the High Street and around The Broadway we offer headshots, event coverage, branding and product photography. Commercial briefs usually mean product shots, brand images, conference coverage or staff headshots, delivered as files ready for print, web and social media. Headshots cover acting portfolios, LinkedIn profiles and staff photographs, each lit to flatter while meeting what the role or platform asks for.

Across Chesham

Sessions across Chesham and the Chess Valley

On location, a Chesham shoot could be anywhere from Market Square, laid out in 1257 under a charter from Henry III, to the open ground of The Moor beside the River Chess. Chesham is a Chilterns town in the Chess valley, and we cover Amersham and Berkhamsted from Northwood without any fuss. Wedding venues near Chesham include De Vere Latimer Estate at Latimer.

Chesham station, on Station Approach, is the Zone 9 terminus of the Metropolitan line and the furthest point on the Underground from central London. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, Lowndes Park is one option, with Grade I listed St Mary's Church in the Old Town a short walk away.

Portrait or lively family session, we agree the plan together before anyone steps in front of the camera. Each session opens with a few minutes of conversation, because people photograph better once they are at ease.

In Northwood since 2001

We have been working since 2001, and very little on a shoot day comes as a surprise now.

From Northwood we cover Chesham and travel out across Buckinghamshire for weddings, events and portrait sessions.

About two weeks after the session a curated gallery arrives; you choose your favourites and we take care of printing and framing.

Good to know

Photography in Chesham, frequently asked questions

Planning the location in advance saves time and gives your photographs a sense of place. We can suggest attractive backdrops across Buckinghamshire, work around traffic and light, and map out the journey to you for events or family sessions. Over 25 years of work means careful preparation and dependable delivery on the day.

Plenty of animals are wary of new people, so please do not worry. We let your pet sniff around and get used to us before the camera comes out, and you stay beside them the whole time. A slow, quiet approach settles most anxious animals, and we would always rather take extra time than push a frightened one.

Chesham is about 11 miles from Northwood, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book. A full day or an early start is costed in that same quote, so nothing is added afterwards.

Yes, and a graduation is well worth marking properly. Graduation prints make thoughtful gifts for parents and grandparents, framed or gathered into an album.

Kaushik Bathia set up in Northwood in 2001, so there are more than 25 years of professional work behind every booking. Over those years Kaushik has photographed weddings, portraits, families and commercial work, and earned five European Kodak Gold Awards. That length of practice is why an unusual brief, or a day that changes shape, rarely throws us.

The best moment is a week or two either side of the birthday, when a child can sit up unaided and is still endlessly curious. Maternity and newborn sittings can be added, so the whole first year is planned in one conversation.

We follow them, whether that is round the living room or across the flat open space of The Moor. Running, playing and a bit of silliness tend to give truer pictures of small children than asking them to freeze on the spot. Sessions stay short, with breaks built in, and parents can step in whenever it helps. Whether the session is at home or beside the pond in Lowndes Park, the pictures should look like your child at their most natural.
