We hired Kaushik for our wedding. He was a fantastic photographer, very professional and great to work with. Kaushik was very flexible with timings, he was patient, and produced amazing photos! We received our photos really quickly and the quality of them are really nice!! His communication throughout was really good and understood what I wanted. My family were also very happy with Kaushik and the photos.
Kaushik Bathia has photographed our family on many occasions and done a fantastic job. His work is displayed all over our family homes and he has captured moments which will be cherished forever. He also managed to get great pictures of my two children (both under 5), a near enough impossible task in itself. We highly recommend!
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 Oxhey
Weddings, families, portraits and business
Oxhey is a Watford-edge neighbourhood in Hertfordshire. Book the studio in Northwood for portraits, or have us photograph your wedding, event or family session at a venue somewhere in Bushey, Carpenders Park. A first-birthday cake smash lasts minutes, so everything is set before your one-year-old sits down, and then they lead.
Christenings, naming days and first communions are photographed quietly, with more attention on the glances between relatives than on staged groups. Maternity, newborn and first-birthday sessions can be spread over a year or two, and all three can be booked with the one studio.
For businesses around Oxhey and Watford town centre we photograph events and conferences, products and branding, and headshots for CVs, websites and acting portfolios. Actors' portfolios, company events and the restoration of damaged family photographs are all part of the same studio's work. Files are delivered sized for print, web and social, so one shoot serves every channel.

Yes, newborns and babies are one of our specialities. The studio is kept warm and quiet, and the session bends around feeds and naps rather than a clock. The pictures dwell on small hands and quiet closeness, and parents and brothers or sisters can join in too.
