Superb and highly professional wedding photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Kaushik Bathia Photography for a recent wedding at Orchardleigh Estate.

Google review, 2015

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!

Google review, 2017

Kaushik did a great job in taking both formal and informal portrait photos. He is an enthusiastic professional photographer who made me feel at ease. The photographs were excellent and have been greatly admired.

What we photograph in Redbridge

On location in Redbridge

Redbridge is a green outer east London borough. Everything, from garden shoots to venue weddings, takes place on location in Redbridge and nearby Newham and Havering. For a family, that might mean a newborn session at home, a portrait walk in Valentines Park or a wedding at a licensed venue such as Valentines Mansion.

Weddings range from a small ceremony at Redbridge Town Hall, where the Elizabeth Suite holds up to 30 guests including photographers, to multi-day celebrations, and we also photograph the engagements and family gatherings around them. Multi-day weddings are planned event by event, and some licensed venues in the borough, such as Mayfair Venue, host mehndi, nikah, baraat and walima events. Maternity, newborn and first-birthday sessions often fall within a year or two of each other, and each can be booked separately as it comes.

For businesses we cover conferences, awards nights, headshots and personal branding, with images made to work on a website or a stage. Business work includes headshots, personal branding, events and product shoots, and there are pet portraits too.

Redbridge, from Valentines Mansion to Hainault Forest

These notes cover a handful of Redbridge places that could shape a shoot, from the Charles Holden stations at Redbridge and Gants Hill to the 400 acres of Hainault Forest, each linked to where it was published. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.

  • Hainault Forest covers 400 acres of woodland and parkland, with a lake and Woodhenge wood sculptures, Foxburrows Farm and restored Victorian barns, and held a Green Flag in 2024. 1
  • Name of the borough. Redbridge takes its name from a red-brick bridge over the River Roding, unlike the area's white stone bridges, which was demolished in 1921. 2
  • Gants Hill station on the Central line, designed by Charles Holden, has a barrel-vaulted concourse modelled on the Moscow Metro after a 1935 study of the Soviet system. 3
  • Valentines Mansion holds ceremonies in the Morning Room, with a garden view, for up to 40 guests and the Drawing Room, with a balcony, for up to 70, and its house and gardens are used for photographs. 4
  • Redbridge Council. The London Borough of Redbridge was created on 1 April 1965 from the former municipal boroughs of Ilford and of Wanstead and Woodford, with smaller areas from Dagenham and Chigwell. 5

Good to know

Photography in Redbridge, frequently asked questions

From Northwood we cover the whole borough, including Ilford, Gants Hill, Wanstead and Woodford, and wider Greater London for weddings. That includes homes, venues and offices from Wanstead and Woodford to Ilford and Chadwell Heath. If your venue is outside the borough, ask when you get in touch and we will confirm.

Yes; product images are made for websites, brochures and marketplace listings. Products are lit to show shape, colour and texture accurately, on a clean white background or styled with props. Consistent lighting across a whole range helps products look professional on a website or marketplace.

Choose plain, well-fitting clothes in colours suited to your line of work. Most men look right in a shirt, with or without a jacket; avoid bold patterns and visible logos. Press your shirt the night before and pack a second one.

You deal with Kaushik from the first message to the final print. Before a shoot we check the venue's published details and plan an outdoor route, for instance through Valentines Park, and we are easy to reach with questions.

Yes, from business conferences to milestone birthdays and anniversary parties. We work quietly around the room, recording speeches, details and guests as they mingle, without stopping the event. Tell us beforehand if a handful of pictures are needed quickly for press or social media, and those are edited first.

A week or two is usually enough notice for a portrait, headshot or family session, though busy periods book up faster. Weddings and big events are best booked many months ahead, especially summer Saturdays. A close date is still worth asking about, as gaps do appear.

Each delivered image is edited by hand for colour, exposure and tone, so the whole set is consistent. The look stays natural, with no heavy filters. Images chosen for an album or a large print get a further, closer pass.
