The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Chorleywood, at a glance

For couples marrying in Chorleywood, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. We keep a low profile through the ceremony and speeches, using longer lenses from a distance so nobody feels watched and the real reactions come through. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Chorleywood. Because we have shot in so many settings, we can advise gently on timings and light while planning, which helps the photography sit comfortably within your day. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Serving Chorleywood

Say hello to your Chorleywood wedding photographer

Chorleywood is a leafy commuter village on the Chilterns edge. Hotels, marquees, barns and historic churches each ask for a slightly different eye, and we bring all of it to weddings throughout Hertfordshire, Rickmansworth, Chenies and Sarratt included. 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.

The whole day is covered as it comes, without rehearsed poses or long setups, so you are free to be present with your guests while we quietly work. From the first cup of morning tea to the last dance, we document the whole arc of your day, letting one moment lead naturally into the next. Rather than directing every scene, we let your day breathe and photograph it as it happens, stepping in gently only when a group shot needs a little order.

Weddings take us to Chorleywood more often than you might think. Chorleywood is a leafy commuter village on the Chilterns edge, and we are just as happy photographing couples in the neighbouring Croxley Green and Sarratt. Local wedding venues we know near Chorleywood include The Grove and Moor Park Golf Club.

Chorleywood is a leafy commuter village in the Three Rivers district on the edge of the Chilterns, known for its large open common. Chorleywood station is served by the London Underground Metropolitan line and by Chiltern Railways trains towards London Marylebone and Aylesbury. For portraits away from the celebration, Chorleywood House Estate grounds and the wooded grassland of Chorleywood Common works beautifully, and Chorleywood Common, a 75 hectare Local Nature Reserve managed by the parish council adds a real sense of place.

Every kind of wedding

Ceremonies of every shape in Chorleywood

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. In Chorleywood and beyond, we have photographed ceremonies of every kind, and that experience means we anticipate each moment rather than chase it. However you choose to marry, we read the room first, learn where to stand and then document the exchange of vows as it truly unfolds.

Portraits with your family and closest friends matter, and we make time for them without letting the schedule stall or the day lose its momentum. We are happy to add a welcome gathering or a next-day brunch to your coverage, so the wider weekend of celebration is remembered alongside the day itself. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, so we watch both the speaker and the room, catching the joy, the tears and the applause.

The whole celebration

Every quiet moment between the big ones

The hours before the ceremony hold some of the loveliest pictures of all, so we begin with the getting ready and let the anticipation build on its own. For weddings spread across more than one day, we plan the coverage in advance so each event, from the welcome dinner onwards, gets its proper place.

We think about the whole story as we work, so the ceremony, the toasts and the party each get their fair share of the album. We watch the whole room, not only the couple, so the day comes back to you through your guests' faces as much as your own.

Why choose us

What you can expect from us in Chorleywood

When something goes awry, a late car or a missing buttonhole, we have seen it before and we quietly help sort it rather than adding to the stress. Steadiness under pressure is earned, not claimed, and a thousand weddings of practice is why we stay calm when a moment arrives only once.

Long journeys and remote settings suit us well, and weddings across Rickmansworth, Chenies and Sarratt and the further reaches of Hertfordshire are all within easy reach. We travel widely for weddings and think nothing of a longer drive to reach venues in and around Rickmansworth, Chenies and Sarratt and the broader Hertfordshire.

Where we travel

We come to Chorleywood, so you never have to compromise

We map out the driving and parking in advance for every wedding, so reaching venues around Rickmansworth, Chenies and Sarratt and across Hertfordshire is smooth on the day. The driving is ours to worry about, not yours, and we think nothing of a longer run to reach a venue in Hertfordshire.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Chorleywood, frequently asked questions

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

Yes, as much as you need. For portraits we offer simple, friendly prompts about where to stand and what to do with your hands, so you never feel stranded in front of the lens. The rest of the day needs almost nothing from you, because we work quietly around the celebration as it unfolds.

Will my photos look natural or heavily filtered?+

Our aim is a timeless, natural finish that will still feel right in twenty years, so we avoid trend-led filters and extreme colour grades. Skin tones stay true and whites stay clean. You get a consistent look across the whole gallery rather than images that jump between styles.

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

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.

Does experience really make a difference on the day?+

We think it does. After more than twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings, we read a room quickly, sense moments before they happen, and stay calm when the timings wander. That quiet experience means you can relax and be present, knowing the day is in safe and steady hands.

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 make wedding albums?+

We do. Your favourite images can be hand-finished into a fine-art album, designed with you page by page so it tells the story of the day in order. Printed on quality materials, it is built to be handled and passed down. Many couples also add parent copies as gifts for both families.
