Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!

Roshni R., Google review, 2022

Very pleased with the quality of photographs. Kaushik is very patient and accommodating with requests, and full of enthusiasm and energy. His friendly demeanour immediately put us at ease, resulting in some wonderful family pictures. Would recommend him to family and friends.

Paromita C., Google review, 2015

Really pleased with my photos. Kaushik is very professional and took lots of picture for us to choose from. Our shoot was comfortable and not too long. I would highly recommend him.

What we photograph in Lewisham

Pick your session in Lewisham

Lewisham is a south-east London borough. For a first-birthday cake smash we arrive ready to work fast, because the cake lasts minutes and your one-year-old decides the pace.

On the celebration side that means weddings of every faith and none, from a small ceremony in the Evelyn Suite to a reception at The Clarendon Hotel, Blackheath, plus engagements and family milestones. For maternity and newborn portraits we keep the room calm and the pace patient, from the bump through the first weeks at home. Multi-day Hindu weddings are planned ritual by ritual in advance, so nothing important goes unphotographed between the first function and the last.

On the working side we make LinkedIn and acting headshots, cover conferences, shoot branding and product images, and photograph pets once the office day is done. For creative businesses in Deptford and New Cross, one of London's first Creative Enterprise Zones, and for the shops around Lewisham town centre, that work is about looking credible to the people who hire you.

Why book us in Lewisham

Why experience matters on a Lewisham shoot

Lewisham is about 20 miles from Northwood, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.

Albums are finished by hand in Northwood, with papers and layouts chosen to suit your pictures, so the book lasts for decades. Each picture is edited before delivery and supplied in high resolution, with prints, frames and bound albums available if you want them.

Good to know

Photography in Lewisham, frequently asked questions

What you should come away with is a set of warm, unposed pictures that show your family exactly as it is this year.

The room is kept warm and quiet, and the session pauses for every feed and nap, so the drive from south-east London is the only part with a timetable. We concentrate on hands, feet and closeness, and parents and older brothers or sisters are welcome in the frame too.

An individual headshot selection is usually edited and back with you within a few working days, sooner if there is a deadline. You choose your favourites from a proof gallery, and those frames are retouched to a professional finish. Give us your deadline when you book and we will plan the edit around it.

Faded, creased, torn or water-damaged prints are repaired digitally, keeping the result faithful to the original rather than over-polished. Bring the original to Northwood and we will tell you honestly what can be done with it.

We plan around the practical details, such as the Evelyn Suite's limit of 40 people or the walk of about seven minutes from Ladywell station to the register office, so the shoot runs smoothly. You deal with one photographer throughout, from the first call to reprints and albums later on.

Yes. Each sitting takes a few minutes, so the office keeps working, and the framing and background stay identical so the whole team reads as one set.
