The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Croxley Green, at a glance
For couples marrying in Croxley Green, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. Through most of the day we stay at the edges and let the small moments happen without direction, whether in the Venetian-style Main Hall at Moor Park Mansion or the gardens at The Waterside Venue. We photograph church, civil, hotel and marquee weddings in Croxley Green, and civil ceremonies here fall to Watford Register Office at 31 Hempstead Road (WD17 3EY). While its ceremony room is closed for building work, ceremonies for up to 20 guests are held at nearby Cheslyn House, set in 3.5 acres of gardens and woodland. On an English summer day the best light usually arrives about an hour and a half before it is convenient, so the timetable should leave room for it. An engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand-finished albums can all be added, and as Croxley Green is about 4 miles from Northwood there is no travel charge; wedding photography starts from £750.
What is said to be the longest village green in England runs through this Hertfordshire village, and The Green is a straightforward place to line up a large family group after a ceremony at All Saints' Church. Croxley Common Moor, 41.9 hectares of grassland on the River Gade flood plain and a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Local Nature Reserve, gives something wilder for the couple pictures. Receptions spread widely: West Herts Golf Club, Loudwater Farm and The Waterside Venue are close at hand, while The Grove and Moor Park Golf Club are grander and change the shape of the day. Croxley station sits on the Watford branch of the Metropolitan line, between Watford and Moor Park, which helps guests travelling by Underground.
Kaushik was exceptional at creating our wedding photo album! He designed it so beautifully and his customer service was the best. The album quality and design is amazing, we loved it! Wow what a great job. Highly recommend for photo albums.
Fantastic photographer with great attention to detail. Very professional and easy to work with, and the final photos were outstanding. The whole process was smooth and enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to others.
A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.
Serving Croxley Green
Photographing your wedding in Croxley Green
A civil ceremony does not get the room you liked best on the tour. It gets the one carrying a licence. That piece of paperwork settles your ceiling, your windows and the angle daylight enters at, and no amount of later discussion moves it. Licensed rooms also tend to be the smaller ones, which shortens every working distance and rules out lenses you might otherwise reach for. So view the place at whatever hour you are actually booked for, not on a bright Saturday when a showround happens to be running.
Around Croxley Green the choice runs from All Saints' Church at one extreme to licensed rooms in a golf club or an estate hotel at the other. Whether you are looking at Loudwater Farm, Moor Park Golf Club, The Waterside Venue, The Grove or West Herts Golf Club, ask each about the licence, the room and the timing. Half an hour on Croxley Common Moor removes the pair of you from all of it when the weather allows.

Every kind of wedding
From All Saints' on The Green to a register office ceremony at Cheslyn House
A church hands you fixed seating and a chancel, and whoever holds the incumbency decides how much of either you may use. Put that question early, because what comes back alters the lens more than the timetable. Register office ceremonies are short, and the legally binding portion shorter again. There is a table, a registrar, a pair of witnesses and a signature, and it finishes before anyone expecting a build up has properly settled. Whatever else gets cut, keep the entrance and the exit, because a short ceremony gives you those and little besides.
A marquee is the hardest of the three, because canvas is a coloured ceiling with nothing overhead to bounce light off. White cools everything underneath and cream warms it, and either way the correction belongs at the camera and not in post. A registrar will also nominate your standing position, which is never the one you would have picked. Take what is offered, then station the second camera behind everybody, where the reactions are.
Why choose us
When a Croxley Green wedding day runs late
Days run behind. Speeches overrun, cars arrive late, and the portrait hour is what everybody volunteers first. Decide in advance what you would surrender, because settling it at five o'clock with a room waiting is how couples lose the pictures they wanted most. We would rather hold that line for you than have you arbitrate it in front of a hundred guests.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Croxley Green, frequently asked questions
No. The base is Northwood, and Croxley Green sits well within the ordinary radius, so getting there adds nothing to a quote. Anywhere beyond that gets discussed openly before you sign anything.
It stops being a portrait problem and becomes a doorway problem. Porches, windows and any covered threshold do the work, and we scout those on arrival so the wet plan already exists before anyone looks outside.
Nobody photographs you at the start. We work the room, the hands and the small business of getting ready until the camera stops registering as an object, and the Croxley Green portraits come after that.
Every frame we keep goes over at full size and downloadable, with no expiry on the link and no charge for a second copy later. What happens to them afterwards, printing included, is your business.
It is offered on its own or attached to a wedding booking. It can make the wedding day feel easier, mostly because being photographed stops being novel by the time it matters.
