The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across Berkshire for over twenty five years, and couples in Bracknell choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. Light guides much of what we do; we chase the soft hour, work with candlelight and use what a venue gives us to shape frames that feel timeless. 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 Bracknell. We back up every set of images in more than one place as soon as the day is done, so your photographs are safe long before your album is made. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Berkshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.
Serving Bracknell
Bracknell is a Berkshire town close to grand estates. We photograph weddings of every scale, from small register office gatherings to marquee celebrations and hotel receptions, throughout Wokingham, Ascot and Sandhurst and Berkshire. Whether you marry in a church, a register office or under a canopy in a country garden, we photograph the vows discreetly and with real respect for the setting.
Our editing is understated and true to life, favouring natural tones over heavy effects so your album still feels right many years from now. Where formal groups are wanted we keep them efficient and good humoured, so you spend more of the day with your guests and less of it lining up for the camera. We work in available light wherever we can, adding a soft flash only when a dark room needs it, so the images stay true to how the evening looked.
Over the years we have grown to know Bracknell and its venues. Bracknell is a Berkshire town close to grand estates, and we photograph weddings across the surrounding towns too, from Wokingham through to Newbury. Local wedding venues we know near Bracknell include Stirrups Hotel, Easthampstead Park and Coppid Beech Hotel.
Bracknell is a Berkshire town designated as a new town in 1949, with a town centre that has been extensively regenerated in recent years. Bracknell railway station sits on the Waterloo to Reading line operated by South Western Railway, with the A329(M) linking the town towards Reading and the M4. For portraits away from the celebration, South Hill Park grounds, with its gardens, lakes and woodland works beautifully, and South Hill Park, a Grade II listed 18th century mansion now run as an arts centre adds a real sense of place.

What we offer
We help you build a photography timeline that gives room for portraits without cutting into time with your guests.
We photograph what happens rather than direct it, keeping the day honest and letting the real moments lead.
We have photographed many kinds of ceremony over the years and take the time to learn the moments that matter to you.
Every kind of wedding
Your ceremony sets the tone for everything that follows, so we photograph it faithfully and quietly, letting the vows and the setting carry the story. We give the ceremony the room it needs, standing back so nothing feels posed, and we still catch the tears, the smiles and the steadying hand on an arm. For a service of any faith or none, we dress and behave respectfully, learn the shape of the day in advance and stay unobtrusive throughout the vows.
Preparations, portraits, the meal and the party each get their share of our attention, and we pace ourselves so no part of the celebration is thinly covered. An engagement shoot in a Bracknell setting you both love makes lovely pictures in their own right and eases any nerves before the wedding proper. From the buttonholes being pinned to the sparklers at the door, we follow the surrounding events of the day and treat each one as part of the same story.

The whole celebration
For a first look or a private exchange of gifts before the ceremony, we hold back and let it happen, gathering the picture from a respectful distance. We tend to arrive while the flowers are still being set out, so the first frames show the day before anyone has touched it.
Our approach is to document the day evenly and let it tell itself, so the gallery reads start to finish without gaps. Pacing matters, so we keep our energy steady from the first preparations to the last dance and photograph the lulls as thoughtfully as the peaks.
Why choose us
A second photographer is available whenever your day calls for it, giving broader coverage and a second perspective on the moments you cannot be in two places for. After a quarter of a century of weddings, we stay calm when timings change, which they often do, and we adjust without any fuss reaching you or your guests.
We check the route, the timings and the parking in advance for every booking, which keeps the trip to your venue in Wokingham, Ascot and Sandhurst or across Berkshire calm on the day. Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Wokingham, Ascot and Sandhurst and right across Berkshire without a fuss.

Where we travel
Ceremony in one town and reception in another is a pattern we handle smoothly, planning the gap so the pictures never stop, whether that is within Wokingham, Ascot and Sandhurst or across Berkshire. We build a generous cushion into every travel plan, so we are set up and ready at your Berkshire venue long before the first guests arrive.

Good to know
Yes, and we recommend them. A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and often calms any nerves about the wedding day itself. You also come away with lovely images you can use for save-the-dates or a guest sign-in book.
Most couples choose full-day coverage, an edited set of high-resolution images and a private online gallery. From there you can add a second photographer, an engagement shoot and a hand-finished album. We will walk you through the options and shape a package that fits your day rather than pushing a fixed list.
We have photographed across Berkshire and the wider region for many years, so there is a good chance we already know your venue and its best spots. If it is somewhere new to us, we research the layout beforehand and arrive early to scout. Either way we come prepared rather than working it out on the day.
Absolutely. Whether you are marrying with a handful of guests in Bracknell or hosting a large celebration, we bring the same care and attention. Smaller weddings often have a lovely closeness to them, and we adapt our coverage and hours to suit the scale of your day rather than applying a one-size approach.
You receive a private online gallery of high-resolution images, which you can view, download and share with family and friends from any device. The gallery includes full-size files suitable for printing. We keep a backup for a set period after delivery, so nothing is lost if you misplace your copies.
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.
In more than twenty years we have never missed a wedding, but we take the risk seriously. We work within a trusted network of experienced professional photographers, so in a genuine emergency we can arrange skilled cover who shoots to our standard, and we still handle the editing of your images ourselves afterwards.
