The short answer

Your Hindu wedding photographer in Epsom, at a glance

For couples marrying in Epsom, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning Hindu wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. For the baraat we keep pace with the procession on foot, catching the drums, the dancing and the arrival energetically while staying clear of the family leading it. Multi-day Hindu weddings are a speciality in Epsom, from the pre-wedding pujas and the baraat to the pheras, the vidaai and the reception that follows. We know the flow of a Hindu wedding day, from the ganesh puja to the vidaai, so we are always in position when a key ritual arrives. A second photographer, relaxed pre-wedding shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Surrey and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Serving Epsom

Getting married the Hindu way in Epsom?

Epsom is a Surrey town famous for its racecourse and country venues. Temples for the wedding rites and hotels or marquees for the celebration afterwards are the usual shape of a day in Surrey, and we have covered both across Ewell, Leatherhead and Sutton. We photograph the tying of the mangalsutra as a moment of quiet weight, holding the expressions of both of you and the elders looking on with such visible pride.

We arrive early and quietly test the light around the mandap, so once the ceremony begins we are settled, positioned and ready rather than scrambling for angles. Our style is honest and observational; we watch for the glance between families, the tear during the vidaai and the laughter at the reception, and we let them happen. We let the reception breathe, photographing the first dance, the speeches and the dance floor as they happen, so the energy of the evening reads honestly in your album.

We are booked in and around Epsom throughout the wedding season. Epsom is a Surrey town famous for its racecourse and country venues, and we cover Camberley and Redhill with the same care. In and around Epsom, we have photographed at venues such as Epsom Downs Racecourse and Woodcote Park.

Epsom is a Surrey town famous for Epsom Downs Racecourse, which hosts the Derby, and as the source of Epsom salts. Epsom railway station has services to London Waterloo, Victoria and London Bridge, and the town lies on the A24 south of London. We often take couples to Nonsuch Park, on the edge of Epsom and Ewell for a few quiet portraits, and Epsom Downs Racecourse is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

What is included in your Epsom Hindu wedding coverage

North Indian Weddings

We understand the rituals of a North Indian wedding and follow them closely from start to finish.

Family Groups

We handle the large family groups calmly and quickly, so everyone is there without holding up the day.

Multi-day Coverage

We cover the whole run of celebrations, from the haldi and mehndi through to the reception and the vidaai.

Every Hindu ritual

Honouring the details of every custom

As the varmala is exchanged, we catch the height, the laughter and the settling of the garlands, so the lightness of the moment is preserved alongside its meaning. We photograph the tying of the mangalsutra as a moment of quiet weight, holding the expressions of both of you and the elders looking on with such visible pride. The mangalpheras move quickly, and we anticipate each turn around the fire so the rings of the ritual, the trailing dupatta and the priest's guidance all sit clearly in the pictures.

During the grah shanti and welcome pujas, we work quietly, photographing the small family rituals that begin the celebrations long before the main ceremony gets under way. At the reception we photograph the details you planned and the moments you did not, from the cutting of the cake to the uncle who takes over the dance floor. During the vidaai we stay a step back, photographing the goodbyes, the rice thrown over your shoulder and the drive away, holding the weight of the moment with respect.

The whole celebration

From the baraat to the vidaai

Much of the story starts long before the mandap, and we are there for the pithi, the mehndi and the quiet moments in between. We like to begin with the mehndi and the sangeet, because the relaxed, unposed hours often make some of the most honest pictures.

We balance the ceremony and the celebration, giving the mandap rituals the focus they need while keeping the joy of the day alive. We stay with the rituals through the day, from the groom's welcome to the final steps, so the sequence makes sense years from now.

Why choose us

Preparation that pays off on your Epsom wedding day

Our fine art albums are made to last, and the experience behind them shows in how carefully we edit a thousand ceremony images down to a story worth keeping. Over twenty five years we have built the reliability that matters most for a wedding, turning up early, prepared and unflustered, whatever the day brings.

We are used to early starts and long days that cross several venues, so a Hindu wedding in Surrey is one we approach with the logistics already worked out. Our work takes us all over the country from London, so the distances involved in a multi-venue Hindu wedding in Surrey are ones we simply factor in.

Where we travel

Happy to travel throughout Surrey

A Hindu wedding rarely sits in one place, and we build our travel around that, moving between your temple, hall and reception venues across Surrey without fuss. We take on weddings well beyond London, so the drive to Surrey and the moving around between venues on the day are things we account for from the start.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Epsom, frequently asked questions

Are you insured to photograph our wedding at a Epsom venue?+

Yes. We carry professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and many temples, hotels and venues ask to see it before the day. We are glad to provide our certificate to your venue on request. It is one more sign that you are working with an established professional rather than someone doing this as a weekend sideline.

Will the colours of our outfits look accurate for couples in Epsom?+

Colour matters enormously at a Hindu wedding, and our Epsom couples rightly care about it. We photograph and edit with real attention to the reds, golds and jewel tones of the outfits and jewellery, so a lehenga looks as vivid on screen as it did in person, without turning garish or flat.

How do we receive and share our images?+

Your finished photographs arrive in a private online gallery that you can view on any device and share with family here and overseas. From there you can download high-resolution files for your own prints, and relatives can order their own copies too. The gallery makes it easy for grandparents abroad to enjoy the wedding alongside you.

Do you cover the mehndi and sangeet nights?+

We love these evenings. The mehndi is intimate and colourful, ideal for detail and quiet portraits, while the sangeet brings performances, laughter and family energy. Covering them adds real depth to your story, and many couples tell us these relaxed nights hold some of their most honest and joyful photographs.

Who will actually photograph our wedding?+

Kaushik photographs your wedding personally, so the person you meet and plan with is the person behind the camera on the day. For larger celebrations an experienced second photographer works alongside, briefed on your family and your key events. You are never handed to an unknown associate; the style and care stay consistent throughout the celebrations.

Do you have experience with Hindu, Gujarati and Punjabi wedding traditions?+

We do. Over more than twenty-five years we have photographed Hindu, Gujarati, Punjabi, North Indian and mixed Hindu weddings, so we understand the rituals and their meaning. Knowing when the varmala, the pheras or the vidaai are coming means we are ready rather than reacting. That familiarity lets us stay respectful and unobtrusive while still catching every key moment.

How do you direct couples who feel awkward posing?+

We keep it light and give gentle prompts rather than rigid poses. Instead of asking you to stand and smile, we might suggest a walk, a quiet word or a moment together, then photograph the real reaction. Most couples relax within minutes once they see we are guiding, not staging.
