Thank you for capturing our special day so well and creating beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We love our stunning wedding album! You took the time to get to know us from the pre-shoot right up until the wedding day and made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we had a lot of fun along the way especially with your silly little jokes to get us to laugh!
…Kaushik has photographed our family on a number of occasions, and the experience has always been fantastic. Not only is the time that he spends with us very enjoyable, it is also a very relaxed experience as Kaushik manages to take phenomenal photos of you and your family in your everyday environment. Therefore, the photos always look very natural and relaxed.
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 Hemel Hempstead
Newborns, graduations and grand celebrations
Hemel Hempstead is a busy Hertfordshire town that expanded as a post-war new town while keeping its historic Old Town, close to the Chiltern Hills. Maternity and newborn sittings are paced slowly in a warm, quiet room, covering the bump, the first weeks and the new family together.
For Asian and Muslim weddings we go through the order of the day with your family beforehand, whether the celebration is at Shendish Manor, whose Apsley Suite takes 50 to 320 guests, or elsewhere. A civil ceremony could be at Hemel Hempstead Register Office on the first floor of The Forum, Marlowes, where the Gadebury Room holds up to 40 guests, while larger celebrations can use venues such as Shendish Manor or Ashridge House near Berkhamsted. Christenings, cake smashes, maternity sittings and engagement shoots can all be arranged for Hemel Hempstead families, at home, outdoors.
For businesses on Maylands Business Park or around The Marlowes we photograph headshots, events, branding and products. Conferences, small-business branding and headshots for CVs, websites and acting portfolios are covered too.

Hemel Hempstead is a busy Hertfordshire town that expanded as a post-war new town while keeping its historic Old Town, sitting close to the Chiltern Hills. Wedding venues nearby include Shendish Manor and Ashridge House near Berkhamsted. Hemel Hempstead station is at Boxmoor on the West Coast Main Line to London Euston, and the M1 and M25 meet nearby. When there is time for couple portraits, we can head to Gadebridge Park, with St Mary's Church for a memorable setting.
Every session begins with a few minutes of conversation, because people photograph better once they are at ease. After talking through your ideas we would suggest a setting, perhaps the Water Gardens beside the town centre, designed by G. A. Jellicoe, and agree a pace that leaves room for unplanned moments.
Why book us in Hemel Hempstead

Photography in Hemel Hempstead, frequently asked questions
Delivery times vary with the kind of shoot and the season. Portrait and headshot galleries usually arrive within a couple of weeks; wedding galleries are bigger and take a little longer. If there is a deadline, mention it when you book and we will plan around it and keep you informed.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. A session with three generations is worth arranging, particularly when the whole family rarely gathers. Give us the headcount when you book so there is enough time and room. Every grouping you want, from grandparents with grandchildren to the whole family, is covered.
Product shots can be taken on plain white for online shops and catalogues, or styled to match your brand for marketing. Bring the items and tell us where the pictures will be used, and we will light them accurately.
The price of a Hemel Hempstead booking turns on what we photograph, how long it takes, whether we come to you at somewhere like the Water Gardens or Shendish Manor, and whether prints or an album follow. Portrait and headshot sittings are the simplest to price, while weddings and larger commercial jobs get an individual written quote. We will talk through the options and send an itemised written quote, with no pressure to go ahead.
Pick comfortable clothes that go together without being identical. Plain, soft colours work well, while loud logos or busy prints draw the eye away from faces. If the session is outdoors in Gadebridge Park or on Box Moor Trust land, dress for the weather and choose tones that sit well together. Ask us before the day and we will help.
Yes, and it can be paired with a newborn sitting a few weeks later. For Hemel Hempstead parents we suggest a date between thirty and thirty-four weeks, while the bump is rounded and the drive to Northwood is still comfortable.
