We were delighted with Kaushik being our wedding photographer. He was organised and professional and kept everything stress free. He took some great photos and produced a memorable wedding album. Highly recommended.

Mehil P., Google review, 2014

We have known Kaushik Bathia for many years and he has photographed many weddings and events for the family. We also go to him for our family portraits and as the family grows, we keep returning to him not only because of his high quality work, but because of his great nature and light hearted approach that always makes the session so enjoyable. Highly recommended for all your photography needs!

Sachin K., Google review, 2021

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 Southwark

The occasions we know best

Southwark is a historic riverside borough in central London. Sessions run wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue somewhere in Lambeth or Lewisham. A family might book a newborn session, then a first birthday, then a group portrait at a milestone gathering, and we are glad to follow those years with you.

Whether it is a wedding, a newborn shoot, a family reunion or a milestone birthday in Southwark, each gets the same care. At a christening or naming day we stay near enough to catch the ceremony without getting in its way.

For businesses around London Bridge and Borough Market we cover conferences, headshots, branding and product images, keeping a consistent look across the set. Commercial shoots cover pets, products, people and events, each planned so the session runs to time.

Across Southwark

On location in Southwark

Southwark is the oldest part of South London, having grown up at the southern end of London Bridge, where Roman engineers built the first bridge around 43 AD. Southwark is a historic riverside borough in central London, and from Northwood we also cover the City of London and Lambeth. Venues we cover in and near Southwark include Dulwich Picture Gallery, Asylum Chapel and Kingswood Arts.

The borough is known for its cultural quarter along the South Bank and the vibrant Borough Market food scene. It is served by London Bridge station and by Southwark Underground station on the Jubilee line. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, Southwark Park is one option, and the Bankside riverfront by Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe theatre gives a striking backdrop.

We listen to what you want from the session and adapt as we go, so it feels natural rather than staged. Before the camera comes out we talk the session through, so you know what to expect.

Why book us in Southwark

Why book us for Southwark

Five European Kodak Gold Awards set the standard we hold to on every job, and that consistency is what you are booking. We bring spare cameras and cards to every job, because a wedding day cannot be repeated.

On location we work throughout Southwark and the rest of Greater London from our Northwood base. We travel to Southwark and across Lambeth and Lewisham for on location work of all kinds.

Prints, canvases and framed pieces come in a range of sizes, so the photographs you love end up on the wall. An online gallery makes sharing with family simple, and the high resolution files can be printed or framed however you like.

Good to know

Photography in Southwark, frequently asked questions

For a family coming from Southwark, we plan the start time around the journey as well as feeds and naps, and keep the room warm and calm so nothing is rushed. We focus on small details and closeness, and parents and siblings are welcome in the frame.

Yes. Outside, we would suggest somewhere like Potters Fields Park between City Hall and Tower Bridge, or we can come to your home or venue.

Faded, torn, creased or water-damaged prints are repaired digitally, bringing the picture back while staying true to the original.

Absolutely. Weddings are at the heart of what we do, whether the ceremony is at Southwark Register Office in Camberwell House, a Grade II listed building on Peckham Road, or at a licensed venue elsewhere in the borough. We would cover the whole day in a relaxed, documentary style, from preparations in the morning to the evening. Our wedding pages cover timings and albums for Southwark venues such as Glaziers Hall, The Golden Hinde and Kingswood Arts.

Book a few weeks ahead, and we can plan colours and a theme together. The best time for the shoot is close to the birthday, when your child sits up confidently but is still full of curiosity. Add a maternity or newborn session and we can plan the whole first year as one.

Tell us what you are planning, and where in the borough, and we will put together a quote for it. Ring 07956 505383 or send a message saying what the shoot is, where it would be, whether Bankside, Borough, Camberwell or Dulwich, the date, and any extras such as an album or prints. You will get an itemised price back, with the travel from Northwood set out in writing, and answers to any questions before you decide.
