Kaushik has created the perfect wedding albums for us to share with our loved ones forever, the family love them and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond our expectations. A true professional, great communication and an understanding individual throughout the whole process. Thank you!!!
We had our family portraits done many years ago with Kaushik Bathia and we loved them so we have now returned again this time with new additions to the family. On all the occasions we went Kaushik Bathia has taken care of everyone and made everyone laugh and smile especially the children in order to get the best photos.
I had an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia. They were professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable during the shoot. The photos came out beautifully — natural, vibrant, and exactly what I hoped for. Highly recommend
What we photograph in Rayners Lane
Occasions we could photograph around Rayners Lane
Rayners Lane is a Harrow neighbourhood. For business photography we visit your premises across Pinner, Harrow and Eastcote, and for portraits and headshots you are welcome at our Northwood studio. For a family occasion, a session could use Roxbourne Park, with its playground, woodland and miniature railway, or the moat and grounds of Headstone Manor Park in North Harrow.
Rayners Lane has one of London's largest Tamil communities, and a wedding here might be a single afternoon or a week of events, so the coverage is shaped around your traditions and the people who matter most. Some families want formal portraits, others a relaxed hour in Roxbourne Park, and we plan the session around whichever suits you. Christenings, naming ceremonies and first communions are photographed quietly, catching the looks between people rather than staging every frame.
Product photography, team headshots, founder branding and event coverage can be done at your premises or in the studio, where pets are welcome too. For businesses on the Alexandra Avenue parades and beyond, we cover events, produce branding and product images and take professional headshots for CVs, websites and acting portfolios.

Good to know
Photography in Rayners Lane, frequently asked questions
Absolutely. Weddings are central to our work, whether yours is a civil ceremony for up to 50 at The Pavilion, Harrow's ceremony room at Perceval Square, or a larger celebration at Tithe Farm Sports and Social Club, approved for up to 220 people. Coverage runs from morning preparations into the evening, in a relaxed, documentary way. Our Rayners Lane wedding pages set out coverage, timings and albums in detail, with wedding photography from £750.
Yes, pets can be photographed alone or with the family, in the studio or at Roxbourne Park. Nothing is forced; your pet sets the pace, and a perfect sit is never expected straight away. Treats, toys and patience do most of the work in bringing out an animal's character.
Most sessions come with high-resolution digital files to keep, share and print. What is included varies by package, and prints, albums and framing are usually extras. All of it is written into your quote before you book.
Book a few weeks in advance and we can agree the colours and theme with you. Close to the birthday is ideal, when a baby can sit steadily but is still endlessly curious. Maternity and newborn sittings can be added, so the whole first year is planned together.
Yes, there is parking close to the studio, and by Tube the nearest station is Northwood Hills on the Metropolitan line. From Rayners Lane the studio is about two and a half miles away, and we send directions once you have booked. Give yourself a few spare minutes so you arrive settled rather than rushed.
Each delivered image is edited by hand for colour, exposure and tone, so the set is consistent. The look stays natural, without heavy filters, so the pictures still feel like real life. Any picture chosen for an album or a large print receives further work.
Yes, we restore photographs at the Northwood studio for families from Rayners Lane and across Harrow. Tears, creases, water stains and fading are mended digitally, with the repair kept faithful to the original, so a decades-old print from a Harrow Garden Village home still looks like itself. The mended image can then be reprinted, enlarged or framed at the studio, a short drive from Alexandra Avenue. Drop the original in during opening hours and we will tell you frankly what a repair could achieve.
