In short
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning photographer based in nearby Northwood, photographing weddings, portraits, families, headshots and commercial work in Golders Green and across Greater London for over twenty five years. Our style is documentary first, which means we watch and wait for the real moment rather than staging it, then step in gently only when a little direction helps. We photograph everything in Golders Green, from weddings of every tradition and family portraits to newborn sessions, professional headshots, commercial work and pet photography. Our work has been recognised with five European Gold awards, and a thousand-plus weddings sit behind it, but the day-to-day value is simply knowing the job will be done properly. 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 Golders Green
Golders Green is a busy, cosmopolitan district in the London Borough of Barnet, the landmark Hippodrome. From our Northwood base we cover portrait work in the studio and on location shoots at parks, homes and venues throughout Temple Fortune, Hampstead and Hendon. Weddings, engagements and family portraits make up much of our week, and we treat each booking as the single most important day it is to the people involved.
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. You might book us for a wedding, a newborn shoot, a family reunion or a milestone birthday, and we bring the same care to each of them. From the proposal to the wedding, then the first baby and the first birthday, many of our clients return to us as their family grows.
Commercial clients ask for product shots, branding images, conference coverage and staff headshots, and we deliver files that work across print, web and social without fuss. 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. We restore faded, torn and water damaged photographs, reprint and enlarge them, frame them for the wall, and take passport and visa pictures to the current standard.

Across Golders Green
There is plenty we love about photographing Golders Green. Golders Green is a busy, cosmopolitan district in the London Borough of Barnet, the landmark Hippodrome, and from Northwood we also cover Temple Fortune and Whetstone. Local wedding venues we know near Golders Green include Avenue Banqueting, King Solomon Hotel and The Avenue at Golders Green.
Golders Green has been a centre of North London Jewish life for more than a century and remains strikingly cosmopolitan, with kosher bakeries, delicatessens and restaurants along Golders Green Road. The area developed rapidly after the Underground reached it in 1907. Golders Green Underground station on the Northern line When there is time for couple portraits, Golders Hill Park is a favourite, and the Golders Green Hippodrome, a former variety theatre of 1913 makes a memorable setting.
We keep the planning light and clear, agreeing timings, locations and any must-have shots so the session itself runs smoothly and feels unhurried. After a friendly chat about your ideas, we suggest a studio or outdoor setting, agree a comfortable pace and leave room for the unexpected moments.

Why Golders Green chooses us
We have photographed more than a thousand couples, and each one taught us something, so you are drawing on a quarter of a century of hard-won judgement, not a first attempt. We are one of the longer-standing studios around, open since 2001, and that continuity means references are easy to find and the work speaks for a couple of decades, not a season.
From our Northwood base we reach Golders Green in good time and photograph clients throughout Greater London. Northwood puts us within easy reach of Golders Green, and we take on location bookings throughout Temple Fortune, Hampstead and Hendon.
You are never limited to files on a screen. High resolution downloads sit alongside prints, framing and albums so your images can live in the home. Turnaround is quick without cutting corners. Within a couple of weeks your edited gallery is ready, and albums or wall art follow soon after.

Good to know
We do, from conferences and awards evenings to milestone parties and celebrations. We photograph unobtrusively, recording the speeches, the details and the natural interactions between guests without interrupting the flow. If you need a set of images ready quickly for press or social media, let us know and we will prioritise those.
It is a blend. Most of the time we let things unfold and photograph quietly in the background, so you barely notice us working. When a moment needs a little shaping, we step in with gentle prompts rather than rigid poses. That mix keeps the results relaxed while still looking considered and flattering.
The first two weeks are ideal, as newborns tend to sleep deeply and curl naturally into those classic poses. That said, we happily photograph older babies too, simply adapting the session to their stage. It helps to provisionally book while you are still expecting, then confirm the date once your baby arrives.
We do, and they are one of our most loved bookings. Family sessions can happen at our studio or somewhere meaningful to you around Golders Green, and we keep things easy and unhurried so everyone relaxes, children included. The aim is warm, genuine portraits you will want on the wall, marking exactly how your family looks and feels right now.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Multi generation sessions are some of the most meaningful we photograph, especially when it is rare for everyone to be together. Just let us know the numbers when you book so we can allow enough time and space. We will make sure every combination you want is covered.
Pricing depends on the type of shoot, how long we need, and whether you want prints or an album afterwards. A short portrait or headshot sitting starts modestly, while weddings and larger commercial jobs are quoted individually. We are happy to talk through options and give you a clear, itemised figure before you commit, with no pressure either way.
We do, and they pair beautifully with a newborn session later. The best time is usually around thirty to thirty four weeks, when your bump is nicely rounded but you are still comfortable. Parents from Golders Green and across Greater London come to the studio, where we provide gowns and guide you through flattering, relaxed poses.
