In short
Kaushik Bathia has photographed clients across Greater London for over twenty five years, and families and businesses in the City of London choose him for calm, natural photography across every occasion, backed by five European Gold awards. We hold back and let moments breathe, resisting the urge to reset every scene, because the picture you will treasure is usually the one that happened while we simply watched. Whatever you need in the City of London, a wedding, a family shoot, a newborn session, a professional headshot or product photography, we cover it all from one local studio. Since 2001 we have run a proper studio alongside our on-location work, which means we can shoot in a controlled space or come to you, whichever suits the occasion. You can book a studio session or an on location shoot, add hand finished albums and prints, and we travel throughout Greater London for anything further afield.
What we photograph in the City of London
the City of London is the historic financial heart of the capital. Book the studio in Northwood for portraits, or have us photograph your wedding, event or family session at a venue somewhere in Camden, Islington. Every wedding tradition has its own rhythm, and whether yours is a quiet civil service or a full week of Asian festivities, we shape the coverage around it.
We love a milestone, whether it is an engagement, a fortieth, a graduation or a golden anniversary, and we make a set of portraits you will be glad to have. We cover the whole arc of family life, engagements and weddings, then maternity and newborn sessions, first birthdays, christenings and the portraits you frame years later. We are asked to photograph maternity bumps, sleeping newborns, giggling one year olds and grandparents holding a new arrival, often for the same family across the years.
Pet portraits, professional headshots, branding shoots and corporate event coverage all feature in our commercial diary, each handled with a calm, prepared approach. Corporate events, conferences and staff headshots make up a good part of our commercial work, and we also shoot product ranges for businesses that sell online. Away from weddings we cover the working world, headshots and personal branding, corporate events, product and commercial shoots, and the pet portraits that never quite behave.

Across the City of London
We have shot weddings, portraits and events throughout the City of London. the City of London is the historic financial heart of the capital, and neighbouring Eastcote and Enfield are well within our patch. In and around the City of London, we have photographed at venues such as Merchant Taylors' Hall, Painters' Hall and Ironmongers' Hall.
The City of London is the capital's historic financial district, known as the Square Mile and governed by the City of London Corporation. Served by Bank and Liverpool Street stations, with the Central, Northern, Circle and Elizabeth lines all running through it. We often take couples to Postman's Park, a quiet green space near St Paul's with mature trees and benches for a few quiet portraits, and St Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren is a lovely backdrop nearby.
We keep the planning light and clear, agreeing timings, locations and any must-have shots so the session itself runs smoothly and feels unhurried. You are never left guessing. We confirm the plan, the timing and what to bring, then keep the day flexible enough to follow the mood.

Why the City of London chooses us
Twenty five years of experience means we have built the habits that matter: backup equipment on hand, contingency for the timings, and the calm to deliver whatever the day brings. Since 2001 we have kept the same commitment to turning up prepared, and after a thousand weddings that preparation is second nature rather than something we have to think about.
Northwood sits close to the City of London, and we cover on location bookings throughout Greater London with ease. We photograph clients in and around the City of London, travelling across Camden, Islington whenever your shoot calls for it.
