The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Barnet, at a glance

For couples marrying in Barnet, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. You lead the day and we follow it, photographing the details you have planned and the surprises you have not, all without interrupting the flow. We cover every kind of wedding in Barnet, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. Trust is built on evidence, and between the awards, the albums and the long list of couples before you, there is plenty to reassure you before you book. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Greater London and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Being the northern terminus of the Northern line, High Barnet makes this an unusually easy borough for London guests to reach, and that generally means a full turnout and a larger formal group than the couple planned for. The borough is leafy and centred on the historic market town of Chipping Barnet, site of the decisive Battle of Barnet in 1471, commemorated by the Hadley Highstone monument at Monken Hadley, which offers a quiet and characterful spot away from a busy venue. Oak Hill Park in East Barnet is the better choice when the whole party moves together. West Lodge Park offers grounds and daylight, Hendon Town Hall civic formality, and the Cavendish Banqueting Suite a large interior needing controlled lighting. Finchley, Whetstone and Mill Hill are all close, so morning preparations rarely add much travel to the day.

Serving Barnet

Getting married in Barnet?

Licensing, not photography, decides which room you legally marry in. What you get may be small and panelled, a corner carved out of a hotel, or a civic chamber under strip lighting, and negotiating that is not on offer. Which is survivable. The legal core takes a sliver of your day, and everything wrapped around it remains yours to arrange however you like. Spend the effort there instead.

Registrars vary more than couples anticipate. Some permit a camera to move through the vows, while others will want it stationary at the rear, and the morning itself is often when you find out which sort you drew. We prepare for the stricter version and treat the other as a bonus. Ask your venue who books your registrar, and whether a conversation beforehand is possible. The answer changes nothing about your day and a great deal about our position in the room.

How we handle a multi-ceremony Barnet celebration

Some Barnet days carry more than one ceremony, or a ceremony plus a blessing, or two receptions with a night between them. Two ceremonies means two of everything: two arrivals, two rooms to learn, two lots of nerves. Each has a start it will not move, and whatever sits in between decides whether the schedule holds. Our plan gets built backwards from the last fixed point, not forwards from the first. Reverse that and the group photographs begin eating your meal.

Group lists are the other quiet disaster. Set down in advance they read like a list and finish quickly; invented on a lawn they take an hour while somebody's grandmother stands. Keep the list short. Appoint a relative from each family who can identify people, and pick even light over the best view when choosing where to stand everybody. Speeches need nothing from you, and neither does the first dance, beyond our knowing when.

Why choose us

Why couples in Barnet choose us

We are a small operation, and nobody you have not met will turn up in our place. Your photographer will have read the schedule, will know which parts of it cannot move, and will stay outside your eyeline for the bulk of it. That, entire, is the pitch.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Barnet, frequently asked questions

Should we choose a photographer on style or on price alone?+

Style, every time, because style is the thing you cannot change afterwards. Look at complete weddings rather than portfolios; anyone can assemble twelve good frames. What you want to know is what an ordinary hour looks like in their hands.

Will my photos look natural or heavily filtered?+

Natural. Colour is corrected so that a room's lighting stops distorting skin, and there it stops. Fashions in editing date faster than dresses do, and a photograph you will still like in thirty years cannot afford to be fashionable.

Do your awards mean anything for our wedding?+

On the day itself, no. What they mean is that the work has been judged by people who do this for a living and not only by clients. Treat it as a floor under the quality, not as a reason to book.

How do we hold our Barnet date with you?+

A signed contract and a deposit hold it; nothing before those does. Until both land your Barnet date remains available to anyone else asking for it, and a second enquiry on that date brings a warning from us first.

How many photos will we receive from our Barnet wedding?+

Hundreds rather than dozens, from a full Barnet day, with the exact count following the hours booked. Every delivered frame is one we would defend. Blinks, duplicates and the third go at one moment never reach you.
