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

Fantastic photographer . Relaxed atmosphere and even made my young children laugh and look at the camera ( which they normally don’t do ) . Amazing results ! Would highly recommend.

What we photograph in Cricklewood

Every kind of shoot, from Gladstone Park to Cricklewood Broadway

Cricklewood is a North West London district centred on Cricklewood Broadway, as Edgware Road is known through the area. Whether home is in the Mapesbury conservation area or near the Cricklewood Railway Terraces, we can photograph maternity and newborn sessions, christenings, first birthdays, engagements and the family portraits that follow.

Beyond weddings, we photograph engagement shoots, christenings, family portraits and milestone birthdays, at a hall off Cricklewood Broadway or in your own garden. For Muslim and Asian weddings we agree the running order with your family beforehand, so we are in position for each custom as the day moves quickly on. For a family session we would suggest Gladstone Park on Cricklewood's western edge, where the walled garden, rose terraces and hilltop views across London give an hour outdoors plenty of variety.

For firms near Cricklewood station on Cricklewood Lane, our commercial work runs from conferences and functions to headshots, branding and product listings, kept consistent across a whole set. Cricklewood has a long working history, from the Handley Page aircraft works on Cricklewood Lane from 1912 to the Smith's instrument factory on Edgware Road, and for businesses there today we would photograph products, events and headshots.

Across Cricklewood

From Northwood to NW2

Cricklewood straddles Edgware Road, the old Watling Street, with Barnet on one side and Brent on the other, and we plan each shoot around its particular spot. We also work across Kilburn, Willesden Green and the surrounding parts of Greater London. The Clayton Crown Hotel, once The Crown pub, is a landmark on Cricklewood Broadway.

Cricklewood has strong links with Ireland because of its sizeable Irish population. Cricklewood station on Cricklewood Lane is managed by Thameslink, and Gladstone Park lies on the district's western edge. We can take couples up the hill in Gladstone Park for a few quiet portraits with views across London.

Before any session we talk through who is coming, where it will be and how long it should take, so nothing is left to chance on the day. Planning is where we find out what you value, so the session feels personal rather than off the shelf.

Why book us in Cricklewood

Experience Cricklewood can rely on

After more than 25 years behind the camera, Kaushik brings the same calm preparation to a boardroom headshot as to a wedding.

We are based in Northwood, about 9 miles from Cricklewood, and happily cover location work across Willesden, Golders Green and Kilburn.

Once edited, your pictures are delivered to a private online gallery, with full-resolution files you can download, share and print at any size. About two weeks after the session you pick favourites from your gallery, and we look after the printing and framing.

Good to know

Photography in Cricklewood, frequently asked questions

Absolutely, and we encourage it. Gladstone Park's walled garden and duck pond give a large family room to spread out, and the family dog can come too, kept on a lead in the walled garden. Tell us how many are coming when you book and we will allow time for each group. Write down the combinations you want and we will work through each one.

Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book, so the 9-mile journey is never a surprise. If a job needs an early start or a full day, that goes into the same quote.

Damaged prints are scanned and repaired digitally, taking out tears, creases and water marks while keeping the character of the original. Once repaired, a picture can be reprinted at its original size, enlarged or framed. Bring the original to Joel St and we will give you an honest view of what repair can achieve.

We do. For businesses along Cricklewood Broadway, or in the workspace planned at Brent Cross Town around Brent Cross West station, we photograph products, branding images, team headshots and company events. Tell us what the pictures are for and we will set out the scope in writing.
