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.

What we photograph in Kings Langley

Which shoot are you planning in Kings Langley?

Kings Langley is a village on the Grand Union Canal with elegant venues. Book the studio in Northwood for portraits, or have us photograph your wedding, event or family session at a venue somewhere in Hemel Hempstead, Abbots Langley and Chipperfield. Cake smashes, maternity sessions, newborns and graduation portraits all sit within what we offer families in Kings Langley.

An engagement shoot, perhaps along the Grand Union Canal towpath, is a relaxed way for a couple to get used to our camera months before the wedding. Pregnancy, the newborn weeks and a first birthday are photographed unhurriedly, at whatever pace the child manages that day. A wedding, a newborn, a family reunion or a big birthday each get the same attention from us.

On the business side there are headshots for LinkedIn and acting, branding sets, product photography and corporate events. The studio also takes passport and visa photos to the official rules, enlarges and frames prints, and restores faded or torn photographs.

Good to know

Photography in Kings Langley, frequently asked questions

Yes: conferences, awards nights, milestone birthdays and other celebrations. We keep to the edges of the room and photograph speeches, details and guests as they are, without holding anything up. Where a handful of pictures are needed fast for press or social media, tell us and we will edit those first.

Yes, all three. Mandap rituals, the nikah and weddings spread across several days are photographed with respect for how each ceremony runs, and Hunton Park Hotel on Essex Lane, catered by The Clay Oven, and The Grove, which works with Madhu's for Indian weddings, are among the venues in the area. Whether it is one event or a full weekend, we plan the timings with you. Each of our faith wedding pages for Kings Langley sets out how coverage follows your own traditions.

Yes, either a pet on its own or included in a family portrait, and the Common, a large green area with countryside walks, could suit a dog that likes to run. Your animal sets the pace, so nobody expects a perfect sit in the first minute. Treats, a favourite toy and time are what bring a pet's personality out.

We do. For firms on either side of the Gade, in Dacorum or Three Rivers, that can mean product photography, brand imagery, staff headshots or coverage of a company function. Catalogue shots against a clean backdrop and pictures from company events are both delivered as files ready for web, print and marketing.

Yes, we work across Kings Langley and the wider Hertfordshire area, and travel is part of what we do. We bring whatever equipment the job needs to your home, venue or workplace, and as Kings Langley is about 8 miles from Northwood, travel is not charged. Mention your part of the village when you enquire, and we will confirm the arrangements for your date.

Describe the shoot you have in mind and we will price it around your plans in Kings Langley.

You will get an itemised figure back, and we are glad to answer questions before anything is booked.

Yes, in the Northwood studio, where the light and backdrop stay identical from the first frame to the last. Product images for an online shop or catalogue can be shot on plain white or styled to suit your brand. Drop the items at the studio with a note of where the pictures will be used, and we will return sharp, colour-accurate files.
