The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Borehamwood, at a glance

For couples marrying in Borehamwood, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. We give couples space to enjoy their own wedding, gathering the images around you rather than pulling you out of the moment for the sake of a shot. Whatever your wedding looks like in Borehamwood, a church service, a register office, a country house, a barn or a hotel, and whatever your traditions, we photograph the whole day as it happens. Fellow status with the BIPP and MPA is judged by peers, and the assessment process is genuinely useful; it keeps a photographer honest about work that has become merely habitual. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Hertfordshire and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Film has shaped Borehamwood, and Elstree Studios remains the town's defining landmark, which tends to mean couples here are comfortable in front of a lens and open to something more directed than a straight line-up. The town also has a strong Jewish and Asian community, so the shape of a wedding day varies a great deal and is worth mapping out before anything is promised. Aldenham Country Park, with its reservoir and open parkland, supplies the water and space the town centre lacks, and it is far enough from traffic for quiet couple portraits. The Manor Elstree and the DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree are the two main venues, both within minutes. Elstree and Borehamwood station sits on the Thameslink line towards London and St Albans with the A1 close, and Shenley, Elstree village and Stirling Corner surround the town.

Serving Borehamwood

Where your Borehamwood wedding story begins

You marry in that room because it carries a licence. That is not a thing anyone gets to argue with. It may hold one small window, or none, or a glass wall pointing the wrong way, and none of that came up when you booked. So we learn what it does to skin and to white fabric, then plan the hour to suit. Ask which room, not which venue. Two rooms in one building can be completely different jobs.

Everything after the ceremony is more negotiable than couples expect. Aldenham Country Park has a reservoir and open parkland of a kind the town centre cannot offer, and it is quiet enough that nobody stands watching you. The cost is time. Moving a hundred guests anywhere eats more of the afternoon than a schedule ever admits, so decide early whether the whole group travels or only the two of you.

Every kind of wedding

The way you want to marry in Borehamwood

Registrars vary more than anybody tells you. A few are happy to see a camera working from the side throughout; others restrict you to the entrance and the ring, and you discover which on the morning unless you ask first. Ask the venue at booking time, and have the reply put in writing if that is possible. We plan for the restrictive version, then use the licensed room properly if it turns out we may.

The legally binding part takes very little time. Fifteen minutes, perhaps, within a day stretching from morning until midnight, which is precisely why everything around it deserves more thought than it gets. Group photographs are where an afternoon quietly dies. Bring a written list, keep it to fewer than a dozen combinations, and put a loud relative in charge of gathering people. Speeches and dancing look after themselves once the ceremony hour has been handled.

Why choose us

How long have we been doing this? Long enough to relax

Long enough that almost nothing surprises us, which chiefly means we are not tense, so you are not either. A day sliding behind schedule gets absorbed instead of announced. The frames couples live with usually come out of hours when no one was thinking about a photographer, and arranging that is simpler than it sounds.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Borehamwood, frequently asked questions

Does experience really make a difference on the day?+

It shows up in what fails to happen. Nobody waits on us, nothing is set up twice, and when the schedule slips by half an hour the pictures do not suffer for it. Calm is the actual deliverable.

Will you visit the venue before the day?+

When that is practical, we do. Otherwise we arrive with enough time to walk it properly before anyone else has. What we are reading is where the light falls during the hour you marry, not the decor.

We feel nervous about the camera. How do you help in Borehamwood?+

By starting before you notice. Most of a morning in Borehamwood gets shot at distance, with nothing pointed at you from close range. By the time anyone asks you to stand somewhere, we have stopped registering.

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

As much as you need, and not a word beyond it. You get an action instead of a position to maintain, because hands and feet are where the awkwardness lives. Standing still while smiling is the hardest thing anyone can be asked.

How soon after our Borehamwood wedding will we get our photographs?+

Previews reach you in the first week. Everything else follows some weeks later, and how many depends on where in the season your date sits. We give you an actual date for it rather than a range.
