The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Burton upon Trent and throughout Staffordshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We shoot with a storyteller's eye, watching how the day connects together, so the finished collection reads as a narrative rather than a set of separate photographs. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Burton upon Trent. With more than twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, very little on a wedding day is new to us, and that calm shows in the pictures. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Staffordshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving Burton upon Trent
Burton upon Trent is a brewing town. Register offices, hotels, country houses and converted barns are all familiar to us across Staffordshire, Swadlincote, Uttoxeter and Lichfield included. The exchange of rings, the signing of the register and the walk back up the aisle all matter to us, and we cover each without asking you to pause.
We shoot with a storyteller's eye, watching how the day connects together, so the finished collection reads as a narrative rather than a set of separate photographs. Our style is documentary at heart; we watch for the glances, the laughter and the quiet pauses, then let those moments become the story of your day. For portraits we give a little gentle guidance, then step back and let you be yourselves, which is where the natural, easy frames tend to happen.
Whenever a wedding in Burton upon Trent comes up, we are glad to say yes. Burton upon Trent is a brewing town, and our coverage stretches out to Tamworth, Lichfield and the towns in between. Venues we have photographed at near Burton upon Trent include Dovecliff Hall Hotel, The Riverside Hotel and Newton Park Hotel.
Burton upon Trent is the historic centre of British brewing and has an established South Asian community. Burton-on-Trent railway station sits on the Cross Country route, with the A38 linking the town to the M6 and M42. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as Stapenhill Gardens on the banks of the River Trent and nearby Branston Water Park, with The National Brewery Centre reflecting the town's brewing heritage close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
As the light drops and the music starts, we keep going, following the party through to the last dance.
From a register office to a country house, we work with the space you have chosen and its own kind of light.
Our coverage options are set out plainly, so you can see what you are choosing without chasing hidden extras.
Every kind of wedding
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. 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. We time our movements to yours, staying still through the readings and the promises, then finding the right spot for the first kiss as a married couple.
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. From the morning preparations to the last dance, we cover the whole day, and we are glad to include an engagement shoot beforehand so you feel relaxed on camera. We give the reception room its due before your guests arrive, photographing the flowers, the place settings and the details you spent months choosing.

The whole celebration
When a celebration runs over several days, we shape a plan that keeps our energy and yours steady, so the first day is as strong as the last. Early coverage means we are already reading the light and the layout of the venue by the time your guests begin to gather.
We shape the coverage so the mood shifts gradually, from the still morning through the ceremony and into the noise and warmth of the evening. 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.
Why choose us
With more than twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, very little on a wedding day is new to us, and that calm shows in the pictures. 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.
Travel is simply part of the job for us, and a venue tucked away in Staffordshire is one we will reach comfortably with time to spare. Whether your day stays close to Swadlincote, Uttoxeter and Lichfield or spreads across Staffordshire, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps.

Where we travel
The driving is ours to worry about, not yours, and we think nothing of a longer run to reach a venue in Staffordshire. We come to you, wherever the day unfolds, and we are comfortable covering venues throughout Staffordshire and the surrounding counties.

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, and it is one of the most useful things we do. Once we know your ceremony time and your plans around Burton upon Trent, we help you build in enough room for portraits and groups without stealing time from your guests. A well-judged timeline is the difference between a rushed day and a calm one.
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.
Yes. Every package includes your edited photographs in full resolution with no watermarks, delivered through a private online gallery you can download from and share. You are free to print them yourselves at any size, though we are also happy to produce albums, framed prints and wall art finished to a professional standard.
You receive a full edited selection that tells the story of the day from start to finish, not a cut-down teaser. We remove test frames, blinks and repeats, since those add nothing for you. What is left is a complete, high-resolution gallery that covers every part of the celebration.
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.
We focus on ground-based photography and do not fly drones ourselves, since aerial work needs separate licensing and insurance. If your venue allows it and you want aerial coverage, we can suggest a qualified operator to work alongside us. Our attention stays on the people and moments throughout the day.
