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.
Kaushik Has magical touches!! We did a family session and were surprised that we could not find any flaw with circa 200 pictures taken by Kaushik. Kausik is simply amazing , we highly recommend to give job to Kaushik to capture special moments of life !! Well done Kaushik!!
My two sisters and I ‘ the golden girls’ had a great, hilarious photo session. Kaushik is very professional and took some amazing photos especially when we were laughing so much trying to get up from the floor. Can’t wait to see ‘air brushed’ version. Well at 75 you need a little help. Definitely recommend Kashuik. He enjoyed our craziness!
What we photograph in St Albans
From christenings to company profiles
St Albans is a historic cathedral city built beside the Roman city of Verulamium, with a wide range of banqueting venues. We photograph clients on location across Hertfordshire, from homes and gardens to business premises and venues throughout Harpenden, Hatfield and London Colney. A graduation portrait in front of St Albans Cathedral, or a birthday or reunion gathered in Verulamium Park, deserves more than a phone snap, and we make pictures of these days that last on the wall.
A ceremony in the Assembly Room at St Albans Museum + Gallery, which takes up to 120 guests, and a week of Asian festivities need very different coverage, and we plan around whichever is yours. Alongside civil and church weddings we photograph Hindu, Sikh and Muslim ceremonies, plus engagements, family sessions and quieter milestones. St Albans Register Office is at The Gatehouse, 1 Victoria Square, once the governor's residence of a Victorian prison, with a ground-floor ceremony room for up to 60 guests; we would photograph a civil ceremony there just as we would a church service or a three-day celebration at home.
Much of our commercial work is corporate events, conferences and staff headshots, along with product photography for online sellers.

Why book us in St Albans
On location in St Albans (why book us in st albans)
Having one photographer for your wedding, your family portraits and a work headshot keeps things simple, and every kind of shoot is part of what we do. Every job gets backup cameras and cards, because a ceremony at the Register Office in The Gatehouse or a family morning in Clarence Park cannot be run twice.
Our base in Northwood means St Albans is an easy drive, and we photograph clients across Hertfordshire. We come to St Albans for on location work and photograph clients throughout Harpenden, Hatfield and London Colney without any fuss.
A family session in Verulamium Park or at home can end up framed on your wall, not just saved to a phone. High-resolution downloads come with the option of prints, frames and albums for the home. After the shoot we edit carefully and send a private gallery link with the full set in high resolution.
Around St Albans: places worth knowing
These sourced notes cover the St Albans places that could matter for a shoot, from the Cathedral and the Clock Tower to Verulamium Park. Venue rooms, park rules and market days can change, so follow each link to confirm details before we plan a session around them. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- St Albans Cathedral stands near the supposed site of the martyrdom of Alban, Britain's first Christian martyr; it was probably founded in the 8th century and the present building is largely Norman work of the 11th century with Gothic and 19th-century additions. 1
- St Albans street market. St Albans holds a street market on Wednesdays and Saturdays that was founded by Abbot Ulsinus and is still going, and in 1553 Edward VI sold the right to hold it to local merchants when he incorporated the borough. 2
- Clarence Park is a 25-acre Victorian-style park in the heart of St Albans between the main railway line and Hatfield Road, and it is home to St Albans Cricket Club with St Albans City FC's ground on its edge. 3
- Continuous Christian worship. Excavations at St Albans have uncovered a basilica, which is taken as evidence that it is the oldest continuous site of Christian worship in Great Britain. 4
- St Albans Register Office is at The Gatehouse, 1 Victoria Square, St Albans AL1 3TF, once the governor's residence of a Victorian prison, with a ground-floor ceremony room for up to 60 guests and gardens that feature an 1840 siege cannon. 5
