The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Aylesbury and throughout Buckinghamshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. Our approach leans on being calm and unobtrusive, blending into the day so guests forget we are there and simply carry on enjoying themselves. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Aylesbury. Years of experience have taught us to plan for the things that can go wrong and to carry the spare gear that means they never reach you. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Buckinghamshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving Aylesbury
Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire. From hotel weddings to barn celebrations and register office ceremonies, we photograph the full spread of venues in Wendover, Thame and Leighton Buzzard and the wider Buckinghamshire. The look you give each other as the words are spoken is often the picture you keep longest, and we are ready for it however your ceremony is arranged.
Our couple portraits are unhurried and easy; we find good light, give a little gentle guidance, then leave room for you to relax and be yourselves. We favour natural light and genuine expression, keeping our presence light so guests forget the camera is there and simply enjoy themselves. You will barely notice us for much of the day, and that is the point; the less we intrude, the more relaxed everyone stays in front of the lens.
For weddings in Aylesbury we are on familiar ground. Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, and our coverage naturally takes in the neighbouring areas, including Beaconsfield and Marlow. Aylesbury and the towns around it offer venues such as Hartwell House, Notley Abbey and Nether Winchendon House, all familiar to us.
Aylesbury is the county town of Buckinghamshire, a market town set just north of the Chiltern Hills in the fertile Vale of Aylesbury. Aylesbury station sits on the London to Aylesbury line around 38 miles from London Marylebone, with Aylesbury Vale Parkway serving the north west of the town. We often take couples to Vale Park, Aylesbury's Green Flag award winning central park with striking flower beds and mature trees for a few quiet portraits, and Waddesdon Manor, a Renaissance style Rothschild chateau run by the National Trust near the town is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
Your online gallery lands soon after the day, ready to share with family who could not be in the room.
We stay from morning preparations through to the evening party, so every part of your day is photographed as it happens.
We watch both the speaker and the table, so the laughter, the pauses and the quiet tears are all held.
Every kind of wedding
Ceremonies rarely run to the second, so we stay alert throughout, ready for the moments that arrive early, run long or happen when least expected. Our approach to the ceremony is simple: watch closely, stay out of the way and record the promises exactly as you make them. We photograph readings, rings and the signing of the register with a light hand, blending multicultural or fusion elements naturally when they are part of your day.
Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, so we watch both the speaker and the room, catching the joy, the tears and the applause. We are happy to add a welcome gathering or a next-day brunch to your coverage, so the wider weekend of celebration is remembered alongside the day itself. We love the in-between moments as much as the headlines, the flower girl asleep under a table, the grandparents on the dance floor, the quiet cigarette outside.

The whole celebration
The hour before you leave for the ceremony tends to hold the details worth keeping, the dress on its hanger, the shoes, the notes passed between rooms. A pre-wedding event or welcome gathering the evening before is often relaxed and full of feeling, and we are glad to be there to record it.
Steady coverage from start to finish means you can look back and follow the day exactly as it happened, from the first arrival to the fond goodnights. We shape the coverage so the mood shifts gradually, from the still morning through the ceremony and into the noise and warmth of the evening.
Why choose us
Because we have shot in so many settings, we can advise gently on timings and light while planning, which helps the photography sit comfortably within your day. We travel throughout the country for weddings and have grown used to new venues quickly, arriving prepared and settling into a room without fuss.
From preparations at home to a reception miles away, we keep pace across Wendover, Thame and Leighton Buzzard and the wider Buckinghamshire without missing a moment. Multi-location days, with a ceremony in one place and a reception in another, are something we plan carefully, whether that is within Wendover, Thame and Leighton Buzzard or across Buckinghamshire.

Where we travel
Whether your day stays close to Wendover, Thame and Leighton Buzzard or spreads across Buckinghamshire, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps. We are used to travelling for weddings, so reaching your venue in Buckinghamshire is straightforward, and we happily follow the day from preparations through to the evening.

Good to know
Popular dates, especially in summer and around bank holidays, can be taken a year or more ahead, so earlier is always safer. That said, if your Aylesbury wedding is sooner, do still ask, as we sometimes have dates free at shorter notice. A quick call is the fastest way to find out.
We can, and many couples like us to stay through the speeches and first dance, as those are some of the warmest moments of the whole day. If you would prefer coverage to finish a little earlier, that works just as well. We will agree the finish time in advance so there are no surprises.
Our albums are fine-art and hand-finished, designed with real care so they feel like a treasured keepsake rather than a printed booklet. We choose the images with you, arrange the pages to tell the story of your day, and use quality materials built to last. Many couples tell us the album becomes a family favourite.
It depends on your plans, though most couples choose coverage from the morning preparations through to the first dance, which is around eight to ten hours. If you would like us there for only part of the day, that is absolutely fine too. Tell us your timings and we will suggest what fits your Aylesbury celebration.
Yes, and it is one of the most useful things we do. Once we know your ceremony time and your plans around Aylesbury, we help you build in enough room for portraits and groups without stealing time from your guests. A well-judged timeline is the difference between a rushed day and a calm one.
Yes, we travel across Buckinghamshire and the wider UK, and we would be glad to photograph your wedding in Aylesbury. We have worked at venues of every kind, from country houses to city hotels, so a new location is never a worry for us. Just let us know where you are marrying and we will be there.
Rain is no reason to worry, and some of our favourite images come from wet days. We scout indoor backdrops and covered spots in advance, keep a few clear umbrellas ready and adapt the timing so portraits happen during any dry window. British weather rarely ruins a day, and it often adds atmosphere.
