North London begins about 8 miles from our Northwood base, at Mill Hill and Hendon, and runs out to Enfield and Edmonton at around 15. Kaushik photographs weddings in all five of its boroughs and comes to your home, park, office or venue for every other kind of session.
The short answer
Yes. Kaushik Bathia covers Barnet, Camden, Haringey, Enfield and Islington, from Mill Hill, about 8 miles from Northwood, to Edmonton, about 15. Weddings start from £750 and are photographed at the register office, hall or home you choose. For family, newborn, headshot, pet and business sessions he comes to you, and travel from Northwood is quoted up front and set out in writing before you book.
Kaushik photographed out wedding on september last year. He was so professional and was great with everyone making them laugh before taking all the snaps. We really couldn't have asked for more he worked hard all day to get the best pictures. We are very pleased with all the pictures and love the photo album. We will differently be using you again in the future Thank you!
We had a family photo shoot, 11 people in toto. Great experience, lots of fun and laughter had during the session, resulting in some great pictures 😀
My two sisters and I ‘ the golden girls’ had a great, hilarious photo session. Kaushik is very professional and took some amazing photos especially when we were laughing so much trying to get up from the floor. Can’t wait to see ‘air brushed’ version. Well at 75 you need a little help. Definitely recommend Kashuik. He enjoyed our craziness!
The shape of the area
North London, as we use the term here, covers the boroughs of Barnet, Camden, Haringey, Enfield and Islington. Barnet is the side nearest Northwood: Mill Hill is about 8 miles from us, Hendon 8.2 and Chipping Barnet 8.6. Camden and Islington run south towards the centre, with Hampstead at 10.5 miles and Islington at 14.1. Haringey and Enfield fill the north-east, out to Wood Green at 13, Enfield Town at 14.6 and Edmonton at about 15.
It is a long and varied stretch. Mill Hill still has open countryside and Green Belt either side of the medieval Ridgeway, while Camden Town grew up around the Regent's Canal, cut through in 1816, and a railway terminal that followed in 1837. Highgate reaches 136 metres above sea level, and Tottenham Marshes, beside the River Lea, are one of the last semi-natural wetlands in Greater London. Each of those settings asks for a different plan on the day.
Getting to you
None of these towns is on our doorstep, and we would rather say so plainly. Every North London session is one where Kaushik comes to you: your living room in Whetstone, a walk in Trent Country Park near Cockfosters, a meeting room in Wood Green or the hall where your party is held. If you would rather come to us, the studio at 21 Joel Street, Northwood Hills, is two minutes from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
Travel from Northwood is quoted up front and set out in writing before you book, so the Barnet side and the Enfield side each get an honest figure. The western towns, Mill Hill, Hendon, Barnet and Finchley, are the shortest trips. Islington, Enfield, Tottenham and Edmonton, at 14 to 15 miles, are the longest, so it is worth agreeing a start time that suits the journey.
Weddings
Each borough runs its own ceremony rooms. Barnet's register office moved to Hendon Town Hall on The Burroughs in February 2017, a Grade II listed building of 1901 whose Heritage Room seats up to 45 and Council Chamber up to 100. Haringey's is at George Meehan House on Wood Green High Road, with rooms for 22, 52 and 79 people and a garden licensed for up to 20 guests between May and September.
Enfield holds ceremonies in the Admiral's Suite at 1 Gentleman's Row, a Georgian building with a rear courtyard and the New River at the front. Islington Town Hall on Upper Street has seven ceremony rooms for between 2 and 85 guests, and Camden marries couples at its town hall on Judd Street, opposite St Pancras. Our North London wedding guide sets out how each one shapes the day.
Outdoors
Green space is one of the area's strengths. Hampstead Heath covers 320 hectares between Hampstead and Highgate, Highgate Wood and Queen's Wood are ancient woodland, Alexandra Park has 196 acres round the palace, and Trent Country Park near Cockfosters runs to about 320 hectares of Green Belt with lakes and a lime avenue. Smaller parks such as Broomfield Park in Palmers Green, Grovelands in Southgate and Victoria Park in Finchley suit a short family walk.
Some of these places have rules a family or couple should know before a shoot. The City of London asks for a permit for photography on Hampstead Heath and offers a two-hour weekday licence for handheld portrait and engagement sessions at the Hill Garden and Pergola. Alexandra Palace asks every photographer, amateur or professional, to hold a permit for Alexandra Park, and Primrose Hill falls under the Royal Parks permit system. Tell us the park you have in mind and we will look at its current rules with you.
Where next
Every town has its own page with local detail. On the Barnet side, start with Mill Hill, Finchley or Barnet. In Camden, try Hampstead and Camden Town; in Haringey, Muswell Hill and Wood Green; and in Enfield, Southgate and Enfield. Islington has its own page at Islington.
If you live on the edge of the area, a neighbouring guide may fit better. Mill Hill sits near the Hertfordshire border, and the towns to its west are on our North West London page. Cockfosters and Enfield run up towards Hertfordshire too, so the Hertfordshire guide is worth a look if you are just over the line.
Every service
Kaushik photographs civil ceremonies at Hendon Town Hall, George Meehan House, Gentleman's Row and Islington Town Hall, and receptions in halls, hotels and homes anywhere in the area. Wedding photography starts from £750. Packages are built around your day, with a second photographer, an engagement shoot or a hand-finished album as options. See wedding photography and the North London wedding guide.

Asian weddings in North LondonFor families, Kaushik comes to you: a garden in Winchmore Hill, Cherry Tree Wood opposite East Finchley station, Broomfield Park's old ponds in Palmers Green or Victoria Park in Finchley. Sessions are relaxed and can work around naps and school runs, and prices are given on request. More on family photography and the North London family page.
Family photography in North LondonNewborns are photographed at home, ideally in the first 5 to 14 days, in a warm room with the baby fed and settled first. A home session in Hampstead, Southgate or Muswell Hill means no journey for a baby who is only days old, and older siblings can join for a few frames. See baby photography and the North London newborn page.
Newborn photography in North LondonMaternity sessions are best at around 28 to 34 weeks, when the bump shows and moving about is still comfortable. Options here include your home, the paths of Highgate Wood or Queen's Wood, or the Hill Garden on the Heath under the City of London's weekday licence. Read about the maternity photoshoot and the North London maternity page.
Maternity photoshoots in North LondonEngagement and pre-wedding shoots suit North London's streets and parks: Church Row's 18th-century houses in Hampstead, Camden Passage off Upper Street, the Regent's Canal towpath or the lakes in Trent Country Park. A shoot a few months before the wedding also lets you get used to the camera. See couples photoshoots and the North London couples page.
Engagement and couples shoots in North LondonKaushik sets up in your office or meeting room, whether that is near the Old Street tech cluster, in a Clerkenwell showroom, at a business centre beside Wood Green station or in Enfield Town. A single sitting takes around 20 to 30 minutes, and team days are quoted to fit. See headshots, corporate headshots and the North London headshot page.
Headshots in North LondonPortraits for actors, graduates, authors and small business owners can be taken at home or against a local backdrop such as the Lutyens buildings on Central Square in Hampstead Garden Suburb, the Georgian houses of Southgate Green or the canal at Camden Lock.

Portraits in North LondonBirthdays, christenings, anniversaries, community celebrations and corporate evenings are photographed at the hall, restaurant or home you have booked, from a function room in Barnet to the hire spaces at artsdepot on Tally Ho Corner. Edited highlights from a North London event typically arrive within a few working days. See event photography, christenings and the North London events page.
Event photography in North LondonDogs are photographed at home or on a walk, and local rules matter. Dogs must be on a lead in Golders Hill Park, Totteridge Fields asks for leads because cattle graze its meadows, and Enfield's 2025 order keeps dogs on leads in the Trent Country Park Water Garden. See pet photography and the North London pet page.

Good to know
Mill Hill is the nearest, about 8 miles from Northwood, followed by Hendon at 8.2 miles and Chipping Barnet at 8.6. Finchley, Golders Green and Temple Fortune are all about 9.3 miles. The far side of the area, Islington, Enfield, Tottenham and Edmonton, is 14 to 15 miles away, and travel for each is set out in your written quote.
Yes, with the right permission. The City of London requires a permit for photography on the Heath and sells a two-hour licence, Monday to Friday only and not on bank holidays, for small handheld wedding, engagement, portrait and lifestyle shoots at the Hill Garden and Pergola. Weekend sessions work better in another park or at your home.
Yes, for any shoot in the park: the palace's rules cover amateurs and professionals alike. If you would like the rose garden, the boating lake or the London views there, tell us early so the permit can be arranged for your date. Alexandra Palace itself says it cannot host weddings or private parties.
Enfield Register Office is at 1 Gentleman's Row in Enfield Town, with ceremonies in the Admiral's Suite, named after Admiral Sir Edward Thornborough. There is a rear courtyard where guests can throw confetti. Enfield also approves its Council Chamber at the Civic Centre on Silver Street for up to 122 guests, 72 in the chamber and 50 in the gallery.
Yes. Family, newborn and pet sessions happen at your home or in a park near you. Muswell Hill is about 11.6 miles from Northwood, with Highgate Wood and Alexandra Park both nearby for outdoor pictures. Travel from Northwood is shown in your quote before you book, and session prices are given on request.
Yes. Kaushik brings the kit to your office, whether that is near the Old Street roundabout, in a Clerkenwell showroom or in a workspace on Upper Street, and sets up in a meeting room. Each person's sitting takes around 20 to 30 minutes, so a small Islington team fits easily into a morning. Call or WhatsApp for the price for your headcount.
Wedding photography starts from £750, with every package built around your day and a second photographer, a pre-wedding shoot or an album available as options.
