A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.

Deepika G., Google review, 2016

…The gentleman took my family and I last minute for a photoshoot. Although we were running extremely late as we had a newborn, he waited patiently for us. He initially said he could only do 30 minutes because we were late but he ended up spending the entire hour and some minutes making sure we had the best photos.

Albert E., Google review, 2025

Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.

What we photograph in Southgate

Weddings, families and businesses from Southgate Green to Southgate Circus

Southgate is a prosperous suburban district in the London Borough of Enfield, north London.

A family might start with a newborn sitting, come back for a first birthday and later gather everyone for a milestone portrait, and we are happy to be there for each stage. Engagements, weddings, maternity, newborns and first birthdays all sit within what we offer. At a christening we would cover the service and the gathering afterwards, including the quieter moments between the formal groups.

For a business based around Southgate Circus, a headshot or branding session could take place at your premises, with clean lighting set up on site.

Good to know

Photography in Southgate, frequently asked questions

Yes, albums are made for weddings and portrait sessions alike. Each one is a fine-art, hand-finished book, laid out so the pictures read in order from start to finish. We go through the image choice together so the pages flow.

It is a blend. For the most part we stay in the background and photograph what happens. Where a picture needs a nudge, a light suggestion does the job better than a fixed pose. Between the two, the pictures feel unforced but still flatter everyone in them.

The figure comes down to what we are photographing, how many hours it takes and whether an album or prints follow. A brief headshot or portrait sitting sits at the lower end, while a wedding or a bigger commercial job is priced to its own brief. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book, alongside an itemised figure for everything else, and there is no pressure to go ahead.

That is fine, because we let small children set the pace. On a family session in Grovelands Park, for instance, we would let children run along the tarmac paths by the lake and photograph them mid-game rather than asking them to hold a pose. Sessions stay short, breaks are built in, and parents can step into the frame whenever that settles things. What you get back are pictures that show your child as they really are.

Yes, and many parents pair one with a newborn sitting a few months on. Somewhere between thirty and thirty four weeks tends to work best, as the bump is well defined and moving around is still comfortable.

We do. We will help you settle on a size, a finish and a frame that suit the room it is going in.
