The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Aldershot, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, with over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations behind him, and travels to Aldershot and throughout Hampshire. Small, telling details matter to us as much as the big set pieces, so we photograph the handwritten notes, the borrowed jewellery and the quiet glances between courses. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country house weddings, and from village churches to garden and marquee celebrations, we photograph every kind of wedding in and around Aldershot. Something a quarter of a century confirms is that the photographs couples treasure at ten years are rarely the ones they were most excited about in the week after the wedding. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Hampshire and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Ceremonial dress is common in Aldershot, a Hampshire garrison town known as the Home of the British Army and home to a large Nepalese Gurkha community, and uniform demands exposure discipline so that medals and dark cloth both hold their detail. The Wellington Statue on Round Hill gives an elevated and unmistakably local setting for a couple's portrait, best worked late in the day when the equestrian bronze is side lit rather than flat. Manor Park sits close to the town centre with lakes and gardens, which keeps the portrait run short when a schedule tightens. Northbrook Park and Froyle Park both offer grounds that suit a large outdoor group, while Princes Hall in Aldershot is an indoor setting where lighting is brought in rather than found. Trains run towards Guildford and Ascot, and North Camp, Church Crookham and Farnham are near enough for split preparations.

Serving Aldershot

Planning a wedding in Aldershot

A licence, not a view, is what put your ceremony in that particular Aldershot room, and asking will not change that. What can still change is the hour and the seating. Find out which wall holds the glass and what time the registrar is booked for, then work out between you whether the pair of you end up facing that light or standing with your backs to it.

Inside the room the script is fixed, and the two of you spend most of it facing a registrar rather than your guests. The expressions worth having therefore belong to the front row and not to the front table. Registrars also vary between themselves on how far forward a photographer may work, which is worth putting to the individual on duty a few minutes beforehand rather than assuming last week's answer still holds.

Every kind of wedding

Traditional, modern, or somewhere between

A church hands you the widest range of brightness you will meet all day: small high windows, dark timber, and a working position somewhere near the back. Expose for the glass and faces go black; expose for faces and the glass burns away. A hotel function room is the opposite complaint, lit flat and yellow for meetings, holding nothing that makes a shape. An estate spread over acres eats a schedule in walking, and every minute spent crossing between two rooms comes off the portraits.

Write the group list out, then cut it in half. Every combination on it burns minutes in gathering rather than in photographing, and the quickest way through is one confident relative per side who can call names across a room. A receiving line photographs itself provided we stand at the end of it. Speeches take their light from whatever sits behind the top table, which is often a window, so establish what that is before a seating plan gets printed.

Why choose us

Trusted with Aldershot weddings since 2001

Working since 2001 has mostly taught us what to leave out. Fewer instructions, fewer lights, fewer requests to do a thing again for the benefit of a camera. What remains is a way of moving through a wedding that most guests never register, and pictures resembling the day instead of a session.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Aldershot, frequently asked questions

We are not used to being photographed. Will you direct us?+

Twice, and briefly: once on the way in, once for the group photographs. After that you are left alone. Being directed is what makes people self conscious, and the frames couples keep are rarely the ones where somebody was told where to put their arms.

Will you help us plan the photography timeline in Aldershot?+

Gladly, and it is best built backwards. Sunset fixes the only hour of a Aldershot day that nobody can move, so portraits get placed against that first and everything else slots around them.

What happens if your equipment fails?+

Failure is treated as a certainty rather than a risk, so nothing important exists as a single item: bodies, lenses, batteries, cards. The failure that would hurt happens at home afterwards, which is why files live in three separate places until an album is signed off.

What should we look for when choosing a wedding photographer in Aldershot?+

Insist on seeing a whole wedding, start to finish, not a highlights reel. Anybody can assemble thirty strong frames out of ten years. What tells you something is how an ordinary afternoon in a plain Aldershot room looks in their hands.

Can we order prints and wall art?+

Yes. A print ordered here rather than off a shop counter carries the colour that was approved in your gallery, and that match is the reason for correcting anything at all. Sizes, framing and paper get settled once the pictures have sat with you a while.
