The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Cobham, at a glance
Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA with five European Kodak Gold Awards, has photographed weddings for more than 25 years and would travel from Northwood to Cobham, which is reached from the A3 and junction 10 of the M25. For couple portraits by Cobham Mill, a Grade II listed watermill on the River Mole, we would ask you to walk and talk, then photograph you once you have forgotten about us. Around Cobham that might mean a Gothic Temple ceremony at Painshill for up to 120 guests, a civil ceremony in one of the two rooms at Weybridge Registration Office, or a reception in the Barnes Wallis Suite at Burhill Golf Club. At Painshill, the Amphitheatre lawn is set aside for photos and drinks after a Gothic Temple ceremony, which gives the portraits room to breathe. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand-finished albums, and travel from Northwood to any Surrey venue is priced in your written quote.
I hired Kaushik for our wedding and I’m extremely glad I did!! Kaushik took amazing pictures and the quality of the pictures were amazing. Kaushik was very patient and was very helpful since the start. My family including our guest were constantly asking me who the photographer was as he gave the best service.
We have used Kaushik Photography a number of times and I would not hesitate in recommending him. He is very patient and offers an exemplary service. Thank you Kaushik.
Would 100% recommend Kaushik Bathia Photography! Kaushik and his team photographed all my wedding functions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He listened to us, got to know our family and close one's and captured all the special moments. We had a great mixture of romantic portraits and natural candid photos of the ceremony. Thank you so much for the most beautiful, treasured wedding photos!
Serving Cobham
Your wedding photographer in Cobham
Cobham weddings divide along a fairly boring administrative line, and that line decides your pictures. Any licensed room comes with its layout fixed, its wording constrained, and a start time that does not slide. A church works to its own arrangement entirely. Paperwork picks the room long before anybody considers where the light falls, so ask which way that room faces and at what hour you will be in it.
The legal part is also shorter than couples expect. The binding minutes go by quickly, and everything else is what you have built around them. Photographically that is good news: most of the pictures you keep sit outside the ceremony altogether. Ask your registrar how much lateness the room absorbs, because a delayed start eats portrait time and never ceremony time. Botleys Mansion in nearby Chertsey and Painshill Park in Cobham are two venues to compare.

Every kind of wedding
Planning the group photographs for a Surrey wedding
Formal group shots go wrong quietly, which is why they are worth planning. Twenty minutes vanish while nobody works out who is being called, and by then whoever you wanted beside you has drifted off. Send the list in advance, then nominate someone with enough voice to call it out. Done properly the exercise stays brief, and the minutes recovered go into pictures of you rather than a queue.
Past the legal wording, the contents of the room belong to you: a reading by a friend, music that carries weight for one half of the family, a custom brought in from elsewhere. Whatever it is, it will be photographed as part of the ceremony, never as decoration. Churches, licensed rooms and marquees each restrict a camera's footing during the vows in different ways, so the asking happens well beforehand. Say which parts matter and they get proper coverage.
Why choose us
Knowing where to stand, 25 years on
The useful skill, twenty-five years along, is not seeing a picture. It is knowing forty seconds ahead of time which spot to be standing in. That gap separates a photograph of a moment from a photograph of somebody's back, and that is the larger part of what a fee buys.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Cobham, frequently asked questions
Tell us your date, where you are marrying, and roughly which hours you want covered. Availability and a figure come back by email. Signing the agreement and paying a deposit then secure it, with planning detail left until nearer the time.
A signed contract, with a deposit alongside it. Neither alone holds anything, because until both exist somebody else can take the slot. That is not a sales tactic: there is one diary and one wedding per Saturday, so a popular date can go to whoever confirms first.
Yes, where your booking covers it. Finishing at the first dance is one sensible option, because the room is lit artificially by then and the pictures change character completely. Later finishes are available if you want the rest of the night.
Full-day coverage, an online gallery, edited photographs at their original size, and a licence covering your own printing. Albums, additional hours and a second camera operator are chosen separately. Which combination suits a Cobham wedding turns on how the day itself is built.
Largely unobtrusive: we document rather than direct, and let the day set its own pace. Couple portraits, plus the formal groups, form the exception, where a little direction saves everyone time and produces something better than milling about.
