The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Bromley and throughout Greater London for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We favour natural light and genuine expression, keeping our presence light so guests forget the camera is there and simply enjoy themselves. Whatever your wedding looks like in Bromley, 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. Having covered a thousand celebrations, we know where to stand for the confetti, the first dance and the speeches, so the key moments are never missed. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Greater London and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.
Serving Bromley
Bromley is a green south-east London borough. Couples across Greater London choose all sorts of settings, and we are as comfortable in a village church or register office as we are in a barn, a marquee or a hotel ballroom near Lewisham, Croydon. During the ceremony we work quietly with longer lenses, so whether you exchange vows in a church, a register office or a garden, we stay unobtrusive and miss nothing.
Our approach leans on being calm and unobtrusive, blending into the day so guests forget we are there and simply carry on enjoying themselves. Our approach is calm and observant; we anticipate the moments a beat before they happen, which is how the honest ones end up beautifully framed. Our editing is understated and true to life, favouring natural tones over heavy effects so your album still feels right many years from now.
We feel at home photographing weddings in Bromley. Bromley is a green south-east London borough, and our work reaches out across the neighbouring towns of Camden and the City of London and the county around them. Local wedding venues we know near Bromley include Bromley Court Hotel, Oakley House and The Manor at Bickley.
A green south-east London borough, the largest by area in Greater London with extensive countryside on the North Downs. Bromley South and Bromley North stations serve the borough, with the A21 running south towards Kent. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Church House Gardens off Bromley High Street, with a lake and the river Ravensbourne nearby, and Down House near Downe, the former home of Charles Darwin gives the day a strong sense of Bromley.

What we offer
We anticipate the laughs, the tears and the first dance, keeping close to the action through the evening.
We keep family and group shots efficient and good humoured, so you are back with your guests within minutes.
We frame the first dance to hold both of you and the faces around you, keeping the whole feeling of it.
Every kind of wedding
We are comfortable in Bromley venues of every kind, and we plan quietly with your officiant or celebrant beforehand so nothing about the service surprises us. From the walk down the aisle to the final blessing, we follow the ceremony as it happens, never staging a thing and never breaking its rhythm. Our approach to the ceremony is simple: watch closely, stay out of the way and record the promises exactly as you make them.
As the reception gathers pace, we keep moving, finding the hugs between old friends, the children on the dance floor and the quiet corners of joy. We photograph the cake, the first dance and the evening party with an easy touch, so the celebration keeps its energy while we quietly gather the pictures. We set aside a little time for portraits, walking with you somewhere quiet for a handful of relaxed frames that still feel like you.

The whole celebration
We map the opening hours of the day with you, from hair and make up to the journey to the ceremony, so the beginning feels unhurried and calm. We like being on hand while hair and make-up are finished, catching the small exchanges between you and the people helping you get ready.
We stay light on our feet through the whole day, moving with the celebration rather than pulling it towards us for a picture. Balance is everything, and we make sure the tender pauses get as much space in your gallery as the toasts, the tears and the dancing.
Why choose us
Having covered a thousand celebrations, we know where to stand for the confetti, the first dance and the speeches, so the key moments are never missed. 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.
A second photographer can join us when travel or a split-venue day calls for it, so coverage across Lewisham, Croydon and Greater London stays seamless. 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 Lewisham, Croydon.

Where we travel
We would rather arrive early and relaxed than cut it fine, so we set off in good time for weddings anywhere in Greater London and the counties beyond. We are used to travelling for weddings, so reaching your venue in Greater London is straightforward, and we happily follow the day from preparations through to the evening.

Good to know
You will usually see a small preview within a week or so, and your full online gallery follows a few weeks after the wedding, depending on the time of year. Every image is edited by hand, which takes a little time, but we know you are eager to relive the day and we never leave you waiting unduly.
Yes. Every couple receives their full set of edited high-resolution images through a private online gallery, with the freedom to print them for your own use. You can download them, order prints, and share the link with loved ones who could not be there. Your photographs are yours to enjoy for many years to come.
Weddings often drift a little, and we are relaxed about that. If you would like us to stay past the agreed finish time, we can usually add extra hours on the day, and we will let you know the cost before we carry on. We would much rather stay than miss a memorable moment.
Once you are happy to go ahead, we hold your date with a signed agreement and a booking fee. Until both are in place we cannot promise the date will still be free, as we take a limited number of weddings each year. We would always encourage you to get in touch early to avoid disappointment.
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.
Yes. We photograph weddings right across Greater London and the surrounding counties, and further afield throughout the UK. Wherever your ceremony and reception are, and whether they share a venue or sit miles apart, we plan the logistics with you in advance so the timeline holds and no coverage is lost travelling between them.
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.
