The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Bicester, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across Oxfordshire for over twenty five years, and couples in Bicester choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. 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 Bicester. Our long track record means references are easy to come by and albums easy to show, so you can see exactly the standard your day will be photographed to. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Oxfordshire and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Serving Bicester

Your Bicester wedding, told frame by frame

Bicester is an Oxfordshire town with country venues. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country estates, we cover every kind of venue throughout Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley and the wider Oxfordshire. We keep to the edges during the ceremony, using quiet cameras and natural light so your officiant, your guests and your vows are never interrupted.

We tend to fade into the background and let you lead, photographing the day you planned rather than shaping it into something that suits the camera. Throughout the day we stay unobtrusive and adaptable, adjusting quietly to changes of plan so the coverage never feels stiff or interrupted. We photograph emotion first and composition second, then find that when the feeling is real the composition tends to take care of itself.

There is a lot to like about photographing in Bicester. Bicester is an Oxfordshire town with country venues, and couples from Oxford and Banbury regularly ask us to cover their day here as well. We are at home at Bicester-area venues such as Manor Farm Barn, Stratton Court Barn and The Tythe Barn.

Bicester is an Oxfordshire town best known for Bicester Village, its large designer outlet shopping centre. Bicester is served by two stations, Bicester Village and Bicester North, and by junctions 9 and 10 of the M40. When there is time for couple portraits, Garth Park, the town park with formal gardens and open lawns is a favourite, and The Church of St Edburg, the medieval parish church in the old town makes a memorable setting.

What we offer

What is included in your Bicester wedding coverage

Documentary Style

We photograph the day as it unfolds, watching for real moments rather than staging them, so your gallery feels honest.

Fine Art Albums

Printed albums are made by hand from your favourite frames, so the day lives somewhere beyond a screen.

A Second Photographer

A second photographer covers the other side of the day, from the groom getting ready to guest reactions you would otherwise miss.

Every kind of wedding

Church, register office or marquee, we cover it all

We keep a respectful distance during the vows, using longer lenses so the intimacy of the moment stays between you while we still hold onto every expression. We photograph civil ceremonies, religious services and humanist celebrations with the same care, honouring your traditions and the shape your day is meant to take. Vows are the heart of the day, and we photograph them without fuss, moving carefully and keeping our distance so the moment stays entirely yours.

The evening brings a different mood, and we adjust our lighting so the dancing, the singing and the late laughter all come through with warmth and life. The cutting of the cake and the first dance often run close together, and we stay ready for both, keeping our light soft and our presence easy. From getting ready in the morning to the final send off, we document the whole day as it flows, so nothing between the big moments is lost.

The whole celebration

We stay until the party in Bicester winds down

We like to reach the getting ready early, so we can settle in, meet the people around you and be part of the calm before things begin in earnest. Starting with the preparations lets us gather the small details, the shoes, the rings, the handwritten notes, before the day gathers pace around you.

We read how the day is going and step back when it needs room, then come closer for the moments that ask to be kept. 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.

Why choose us

Reputation built one Bicester wedding at a time

Our awards reflect consistency rather than a single lucky frame; the same standard we are recognised for is the standard every couple receives. Five European Gold awards sit alongside a quarter of a century of experience, so you can trust both the craft and the steadiness we bring to your day.

We would rather arrive early and relaxed than cut it fine, so we set off in good time for weddings anywhere in Oxfordshire and the counties beyond. We come to you, wherever the day unfolds, and we are comfortable covering venues throughout Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties.

Where we travel

A London photographer who works all over Oxfordshire

A day that moves between two or three venues asks for careful timing, and we sort the route and the schedule well before we leave for Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley. It is no trouble at all for us to head out to Banbury, Kidlington and Brackley and the wider Oxfordshire, and we often do exactly that across the wedding season.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Bicester, frequently asked questions

How does the deposit and booking work?+

Your date is held once we have a signed agreement and a booking deposit, with the balance due before the wedding. The deposit secures your date against other enquiries and comes off your total. We keep the paperwork simple and clear, and we are always happy to explain any part of it before you commit.

How many hours of coverage will we need for a Bicester wedding?+

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 Bicester celebration.

What is included in a typical Bicester wedding photography package?+

Most couples choose full coverage from the morning preparations through to the first dance, all your edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery to share with family and friends. You can add a second photographer, an engagement shoot, or one of our hand-finished fine-art albums. We will tailor the details to the day you have in mind.

How far in advance should we book a photographer in Bicester?+

Popular dates, especially summer Saturdays, tend to go twelve to eighteen months ahead, so earlier is safer. That said, it is always worth asking about shorter notice, as we sometimes have gaps around Bicester. Once you are fairly sure of your date, a quick message to check availability costs nothing and saves disappointment later.

Will you visit the venue before the day?+

For most weddings we arrive early on the day itself, which gives us time to check the light and find the strongest backdrops. If your venue is unusual or you would like a pre-visit, we are happy to arrange one where practical. Knowing the space in advance means we spend the day on you, not on logistics.

Can we order prints and wall art?+

We offer professional prints, framed pieces and wall art produced by trusted UK labs, so the colour and quality match how the images look on screen. You can also print your own from the high-resolution files. If you want help choosing which frames suit a wall, we are happy to advise.

Do you ask for a deposit to secure our date?+

Yes, we ask for a booking fee when you confirm, which reserves your date in our diary and comes off your total balance. The remaining amount is then due a few weeks before the wedding. We will set everything out clearly in writing, so you always know exactly where you stand.
