The short answer
Your Hindu wedding photographer in Reigate, at a glance
Hindu weddings in Reigate are photographed by Kaushik Bathia, a London based specialist with more than twenty five years of experience, over a thousand celebrations documented and five European Gold awards to his name. Two seconds of stillness before pressing the shutter is a habit we keep. Moving slowly through a ceremony gathers better frames than darting about, and the family never feels chased. Your Reigate celebration might run from a sangeet full of family performances to a baraat with dhol, then to the mandap for the hasta melap and the pheras, and we are there for all of it. Awarded five times at European Gold level, our documentary work has been recognised well beyond London, yet it is built on the same quiet craft we bring to every wedding. Options include a second photographer for busy multi-day weddings, a relaxed engagement session and a fine art album finished by hand, and travelling to venues throughout Surrey and the wider UK is straightforward.
Reigate Manor and Kingswood Manor are the two rooms that take a Hindu wedding in this North Downs town. The baraat arrives to dhol at the front, milni is photographed in the greeting itself, and the mandap goes up inside. Coverage runs through the ganesh puja, the jaimala, the kanyadaan and the pheras. Priory Park, home to the 13th century Reigate Priory with formal gardens and a lake, gives the strongest portrait ground in the borough before the vidaai takes the couple away.
Serving Reigate
Twenty five years of Hindu weddings, now in Reigate
Reigate is a historic Surrey town below the North Downs. We are comfortable in the tight quarters of a community hall and the scale of a country house alike, and we have shot Hindu weddings at both across Surrey near Redhill, Dorking and Banstead. The groom's entrance sets the tone, and we photograph the baraat building around him, the family dancing him in and the moment the mandap comes into view for the first time.
Gold jewellery throws light straight back at a lens, so we choose our angle deliberately for bridal portraits, keeping the detail in the necklace and the bangles rather than losing it to glare. We guide couple portraits toward genuine connection, prompting you to walk, talk and laugh together, so the images feel like you rather than a stiff studio set up. Our unobtrusive coverage means most guests forget we are there, which is exactly how the most natural, unguarded moments of your Hindu wedding come to be photographed.
We know Reigate and the area around it well. Reigate is a historic Surrey town below the North Downs, and we photograph Hindu weddings here and nearby in Guildford and Woking. Around Reigate we regularly photograph at Reigate Manor and Kingswood Manor, among others.
Reigate is a historic town at the foot of the North Downs in the borough of Reigate and Banstead in Surrey. Reigate railway station on the North Downs Line, with connections via Redhill to London. When there is time for couple portraits, Priory Park, home to the 13th century Reigate Priory with formal gardens and a lake is a favourite, and Reigate Castle grounds, a public park on the site of a former Norman castle makes a memorable setting.

What we offer
What is included in your Reigate Hindu wedding coverage
Punjabi Weddings
The energy of a Punjabi wedding, from the bhangra to the anand karaj, captured with warmth and pace.
High-res Files
Every image is delivered in full resolution, so you can print, frame and keep them at their best.
Every Hindu ritual
The ceremony, ritual by ritual
When the doli or the car pulls away, the family left standing in the road is the picture nobody thinks to ask for, and it is often the most honest of the whole day. Mangalsutra threads are fine and dark, easy to lose against a red outfit, so we move to where the light catches the beads as the knot is tied at the back of the neck. The saptapadi, your seven steps together, is photographed step by step, and we keep the frames clean so the vows spoken at each stage are never lost in the crowd.
We photograph the sangeet dances close enough to feel the energy, catching the missed steps and the triumphant finishes that make the family performances so loved. We photograph the reception entrance as a highlight, the announcement, the walk in and the cheer from the room as you arrive to celebrate with everyone you love. Ghari puja and the smaller home rituals before the wedding involve only a handful of relatives, and photographing them gives the album a beginning that guests at the wedding never saw.
The whole celebration
Nothing left uncovered across your Reigate wedding
We cover the whole build-up, from the welcome dinner to the morning prayers, so nothing from the early celebrations is left out. We follow the celebrations from the very first ritual, so the sangeet, the garba and the family dinners all find their place in the album.
Sparklers, confetti or a send-off need a moment of daylight or a lit background to work, and we agree the spot with you beforehand rather than improvising in the dark. From the energy of the arrival to the emotion of the vidaai, we pace the day carefully so both ends of it are given their due.
Why choose us
Quiet, unobtrusive, always in the right place
Backups are not a selling point, they are a scar. Anyone who has photographed weddings for twenty five years has learned to assume a card or a camera will fail one day. Awards are judged on single images, but a wedding is judged on the whole set, and the experience of a thousand of them is what keeps the weakest frames out of your gallery.
We cover weddings the length and breadth of the UK, so a Hindu celebration in Surrey with events at several venues is well within our usual reach. Because so many Hindu weddings run across multiple days, we always ask about your full schedule early and build the travel around every venue in Surrey.
Where we travel
Photographing weddings right across Reigate
Parking, loading and access are the dull details that decide whether a photographer arrives calm, so we check them with venues in Surrey in advance rather than on the morning itself. If your ceremony is in Surrey and your reception is elsewhere, the drive between the two is our concern to plan and yours to forget about entirely on the day.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Reigate, frequently asked questions
Yes, and we do so often for couples in Reigate. Fusion weddings might pair Hindu rituals with a civil ceremony, a church blessing or another faith's traditions across one or two days. We research the running order carefully, speak with both officiants and cover each element with equal respect so the whole story reads as one.
Within Reigate and the surrounding parts of {COUNTY}, travel is typically included at no additional cost. Where a venue sits much further out, or an early baraat requires an overnight stay, a modest and openly stated travel fee may apply. We confirm anything like that with you beforehand, ensuring the quote you receive is exactly the amount you end up paying.
We would love to. Garba and raas nights are always a highlight for couples in Reigate, full of swirling colour, dandiya and endless movement that suits how we work. We photograph from within the dancing, low and close, to keep that energy alive, then step back for wider frames that capture the entire floor in full swing.
A little breathing room helps. The mehndi is naturally relaxed, so a short window lets us photograph the henna detail, the bride with her friends and the quiet family moments without rushing. We are happy to advise on timings once we know your plans, so the evening feels calm rather than pressed. Venues we know near Reigate include Reigate Manor and Kingswood Manor.
The quickest way is to call or text 07956 505383 with your date and venues; we will check the diary and come back to you promptly. If the day is open, we can discuss your events and hold it for you while you think it over. And if we are already taken, we will say so plainly rather than string you along. Reigate and neighbouring Reigate Heath, Merstham and Betchworth are all covered.
Absolutely. Once the gallery is up, relatives and parents can place orders for their own prints and copies, which is a wonderful way to share the day with family near and far. Beyond that, we can produce parent or duplicate albums to sit alongside your own. Let us know the designs that matter to you and we will sort the copies out. Getting to Reigate is straightforward for us: Reigate railway station on the North Downs Line, with connections via Redhill to London.
We certainly do. Beyond our weddings throughout the UK, we have made the journey abroad for celebrations too, and are happy to explore it with you. Destination bookings come with travel and accommodation quoted clearly and separately, and we use the extra days to photograph the location properly. Reach us on 07956 505383 and we can discuss how it would all work. Outdoors in Reigate we like Priory Park, home to the 13th century Reigate Priory with formal gardens and a lake.
