The short answer
An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Egham and right across Surrey. 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. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Egham. Having covered a thousand celebrations, we know where to stand for the confetti, the first dance and the speeches, so the key moments are never missed. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Surrey and the rest of the UK for your wedding.
Royal Holloway's Founder's Building is one of the most photogenic wedding backdrops in Surrey, a vast symmetrical facade that needs distance and a wide lens to do it justice, which means knowing where to stand before the guests spill out. Great Fosters and the Wentworth Club are the other established choices. The Runnymede meadows, managed by the National Trust and the ground where Magna Carta was sealed in 1215, are open, level and quiet, which suits both a full family group and an unhurried couple walk at the end of the afternoon. Egham railway station lies on the Waterloo to Reading line about 21 miles from London Waterloo, and junction 13 of the M25 is nearby, so guests arrive from two very different directions. Englefield Green, Thorpe and Wraysbury are near enough for accommodation.
Serving Egham
Egham is near Royal Holloway and grand Surrey venues. From rustic barns and marquees to elegant hotels and historic churches, we cover the venues right across Staines, Virginia Water and Windsor and beyond into Surrey. First kisses are unpredictable in length, so we hold the frame throughout rather than shooting once and lowering the camera while it is still happening.
Our editing is understated and true to life, favouring natural tones over heavy effects so your album still feels right many years from now. 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. We work quietly in the background, following the day as it unfolds rather than staging it, so your photographs feel real and never posed for the sake of it.
Couples marrying in Egham find us close to hand and easy to reach. Egham is near Royal Holloway and grand Surrey venues, and we photograph weddings here and in nearby Staines-upon-Thames and Windsor alike. Venues we have photographed at near Egham include Great Fosters, Royal Holloway and Wentworth Club.
Egham is a Surrey town beside Runnymede, the Thames-side meadow where Magna Carta was sealed in 1215, and close to Royal Holloway, University of London. Egham railway station lies on the Waterloo to Reading line, about 21 miles from London Waterloo, with the M25 nearby at junction 13. We often take couples to The Runnymede meadows managed by the National Trust for a few quiet portraits, and Royal Holloway, University of London, with its Founder's Building is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
Quiet preparation hours carry real feeling, so we photograph the details, the nerves and the calm before you leave.
Beyond the album we can produce framed prints and wall art, so your favourite images live on your walls.
We set aside quiet time for portraits of the two of you, images made to be framed and enjoyed for years.
Every kind of wedding
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. From the first steps down the aisle to the final walk back as a married couple, we follow your ceremony closely and let it breathe without any staging. 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.
The morning preparations set the tone, so we begin early, photographing the calm, the nerves and the laughter as you and your party get ready. During the meal we photograph the room from the doorway rather than table by table, which spares your guests being interrupted mid-course by a camera. A pre-wedding or engagement session beforehand lets us get to know you, so that by the wedding day the camera already feels like part of the furniture.

The whole celebration
Nerves show most in the fifteen minutes before leaving, and we stay quiet through that period rather than asking for anything, which is usually when the honest frames appear. Ceremonies with a long journey between the preparation location and the venue need travel time protecting, and we would rather lose ten minutes of detail shots than arrive behind you.
Some of the pictures you treasure most will be the small ones between events, so we stay present through the whole day and never switch off in the quiet stretches. Pacing matters, so we keep our energy steady from the first preparations to the last dance and photograph the lulls as thoughtfully as the peaks.
Why choose us
Our long track record means references are easy to come by and albums easy to show, so you can see exactly the standard your day will be photographed to. We carry full backup cameras, lenses and lighting to every wedding, so a single piece of equipment can never come between you and your photographs.
Because we have photographed in so many corners of Surrey, we usually know the venue, the light and the parking before we even set off for Staines, Virginia Water and Windsor. Whether your day stays close to Staines, Virginia Water and Windsor or spreads across Surrey, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps.

Where we travel
Long journeys and remote settings suit us well, and weddings across Staines, Virginia Water and Windsor and the further reaches of Surrey are all within easy reach. A day that moves between two or three venues asks for careful timing, and we sort the route and the schedule well before we leave for Staines, Virginia Water and Windsor.

Good to know
You are welcome to print, share and post your images for personal use as much as you please, with no charges per print. All we ask is that they are not sold commercially or altered beyond recognition, and that we are credited when shared publicly. We retain the copyright, which simply lets us feature a few in our portfolio. Getting to Egham is straightforward for us: Egham railway station lies on the Waterloo to Reading line, about 21 miles from London Waterloo, with the M25 nearby at junction 13.
Most couples choose full-day coverage, an edited set of high-resolution images and a private online gallery. From there you can add a second photographer, an engagement shoot and a hand-finished album. We will walk you through the options and shape a package that fits your day rather than pushing a fixed list. For outdoor photographs in Egham we often use The Runnymede meadows managed by the National Trust.
It varies with your plans. A full day from preparations to the first dance typically wants eight to ten hours, but a shorter civil ceremony followed by a reception can work in less. We will gladly review your outline and advise on the hours needed to cover the moments you value, sparing you the cost of time you will never use. We know Egham well, including Royal Holloway, University of London, with its Founder's Building.
Yes, more than most couples expect. After a quarter of a century and well over a thousand weddings, very little is unfamiliar to us, so we can anticipate what is about to happen and keep calm when the plan wanders. That steadiness is exactly what lets you relax and trust the day to safe hands. In and around Egham that has included Great Fosters and Royal Holloway.
The initial layout is ours to create, choosing which images go where and sequencing them so the album flows naturally through the day. From there you review a proof and request as many tweaks as you need. We only send it to print once you are completely happy, which keeps you in control of the finished piece. We cover Egham and nearby Englefield Green, Thorpe and Wraysbury.
Of course. Be it an intimate ceremony with a small group in Egham or a big, bustling day, our commitment and attention stay the same. Smaller weddings often have a beautiful closeness about them, and we adjust our coverage and the hours we spend to suit the scale of your plans rather than imposing a standard package.
Of course. A wedding runs on teamwork, so we liaise happily with your planner, venue coordinator, celebrant, videographer and band to keep the day flowing. We stay mindful of the schedule and step back for key moments like the ceremony and speeches, so everyone gets what they need without treading on one another's toes. For Egham bookings, getting here is simple: Egham railway station lies on the Waterloo to Reading line, about 21 miles from London Waterloo, with the M25 nearby at junction 13.
