The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Edgware, at a glance
Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, has photographed weddings since 2001 and holds five European Kodak Gold Awards, and his Northwood studio is about 6 miles from Edgware. We usually rest the cameras during the meal, since nobody wants pictures of people eating, and use that time for the room, the cake and the evening set-up. In Barnet, register office ceremonies take place at Hendon Town Hall, a Grade II listed building where the Heritage Room seats up to 45 guests and the Council Chamber up to 100, and we cover a wedding there as readily as a reception for hundreds. Being early, dressed for the occasion and ready to work is non-negotiable for us, as it has been since 2001. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for bigger days and fine art albums can all be added, with wedding photography from £750.
Edgware's largest religious group is Jewish, with Hindu and Muslim minorities, and each tradition brings its own demands, whether that is managing light indoors around an early ceremony or moving a very large family group quickly afterwards. Canons Park, a Grade II registered historic park, provides the space for that and makes a green break from a banqueting hall such as Zareen Banqueting, AKG Banqueting or The Hive London. The 1924 station building by Stanley Heaps can also make a good backdrop if the couple are willing to walk. Edgware station is the northern terminus of the Edgware branch of the Northern line, so guests from central London can arrive by Underground.
…Kaushik is incredibly talented, artistic, and truly gifted with a photographer’s vision. He knows exactly what he wants each frame to look like and how to get the best out of his subjects. Honestly, there were moments during the shoot when I’d wonder, “What is he making me do?” – but when I saw the final shots, I was blown away. Every image looked beautiful, intentional, and natural.
Kaushik photographed out wedding on september last year. He was so professional and was great with everyone making them laugh before taking all the snaps. We really couldn't have asked for more he worked hard all day to get the best pictures. We are very pleased with all the pictures and love the photo album. We will differently be using you again in the future Thank you!
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.
Serving Edgware
Civil ceremonies and receptions in Edgware
Paperwork picks the room in Edgware. Civil ceremonies are confined to buildings licensed for them, and that list is never the list of buildings you fell for. Once the licensed room is settled, so are its windows, its width, its ceiling, and every photographic decision taken afterwards sits downstream of an administrative one made months earlier by somebody you will never meet. Budget your attention accordingly.
So we want sight of that room, or failing that photographs of it, long ahead of the date. Small licensed rooms can be the wrong shape: long and narrow, with seating taking the space a camera needs behind the couple. Learning that early changes which lens we carry and the two spots where we plant ourselves for the vows. If you want somewhere green afterwards, Canons Park has two lakes and the walled King George V Memorial Garden.

Every kind of wedding
From two witnesses to three hundred guests
Twenty guests and three hundred guests are not one job scaled up. With twenty, everybody appears in every frame and a bad expression has nowhere to hide, so coverage tips towards portraiture. At three hundred the difficulty turns arithmetical: a receiving line of that length consumes more clock than the drinks it interrupts, and your group list has to be cut before it is written rather than after. Elopements invert the problem again, since two witnesses and a registrar leave nowhere to stand except close.
Legally the binding portion is brief, occasionally under ten minutes, and it grants no second take, so we take our positions before anybody sits. Two further fixed points follow, the speeches and that first dance, and each rewards standing where the reaction is rather than where the speaker is. Everything strung between those anchors is ours to find, and it generally supplies the frames that get printed large.
Why choose us
Photography built on real experience
Long service counts for very little on its own. What it buys is somebody who has already met the flat grey afternoon, the delayed registrar and the best man running long, and who will not be meeting any of those three fresh on your particular date.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Edgware, frequently asked questions
Honestly, not much. An award says a panel liked one picture. What counts on your date is whether the person turns up early, gets on with your family, and knows what to do when the light fails. Ask about that.
Quickly, off a list you wrote. Eight or ten groupings is plenty; beyond that people drift back towards the bar. We name a wrangler on each side and clear the whole lot in one stretch rather than chasing stragglers.
Ask to be shown an entire wedding, not a highlights reel. Twenty strong frames sit within anybody's reach. Request one complete wedding day, beginning to end, then judge whether the dull hours were treated as attentively as the vows.
Not within Edgware or the area immediately round it. Anything beyond that is written down and agreed before you book, so nothing unexpected surfaces on a final invoice months afterwards.
Tell us at the earliest point you can. Where the replacement date is still open, your booking simply moves across. Where it is already taken, we would sooner point you towards somebody we trust than leave you searching from scratch.
