The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Gerrards Cross, at a glance
Kaushik Bathia brings 25+ years of photography to weddings from his Northwood studio, holds five European Kodak Gold Awards, and offers wedding photography from £750 for couples marrying in Gerrards Cross. For couple portraits we give one simple direction, where to walk or stand, and then go quiet, because the natural expression tends to arrive a few seconds later. Ceremonies here range from St James' Church on Oxford Road to licensed hotel rooms such as the Thames Suite at The Bull Hotel, and the nearest council ceremony room is Midsomer Court in Beaconsfield Old Town, which holds 56 guests plus the couple and registrars. The best light of an English summer day usually comes about an hour and a half before it is convenient, which matters at a garden setting such as Stoke Place at Stoke Poges, with its 26 acres of Capability Brown gardens. A second photographer, an engagement shoot and a hand-finished album are all available, and because Gerrards Cross is about 6 miles from Northwood there is no travel charge.
Since the station opened in 1906 this south Buckinghamshire town has grown from a village of 552 people into a commuter town, and wedding settings in and around it include The Bull Hotel, Colston Hall and the Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross. Chiltern Railways trains between Gerrards Cross and London Marylebone make the town easy to reach for guests coming from London. St James' Church, the Grade II* listed church of 1859 designed by Sir William Tite, carries a distinctive octagonal dome that reads well in a wide establishing frame and gives ceremony coverage an architectural anchor. Gerrards Cross Common, which runs through the town with Latchmoor Pond at its western end near the Bull Hotel, would make a good portrait setting, where shade can soften hard midday sun into something usable. Fulmer, Iver and Stoke Poges are all a short drive away, which keeps the journey between a ceremony and a reception in those villages short and protects the golden hour slot.
Kaushik has created the perfect wedding albums for us to share with our loved ones forever, the family love them and we couldn't have asked for more. Beyond our expectations. A true professional, great communication and an understanding individual throughout the whole process. Thank you!!!
…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.
I came in the shop very late to closing time and kaushik welcomed me in and met all of my photography needs.Much recommended ..Professional service will be returning :)
Serving Gerrards Cross
Planning the ceremony room in Gerrards Cross
Couples assume they picked the ceremony room. Frequently the paperwork picked it, since the handsomest part of a building is not always the part entitled to hold a marriage. Visit whichever room you end up with, and visit it at your booked hour. Brochures lie about rooms. Three o'clock in February does not. Find out too how much of that room's time is yours after the signing; the honest answer tends to fall short of what a plan assumes.
The registrar runs that room, not the venue and not us. Ask which movements they will accept from a photographer and from where, and ask before people take their seats rather than during. Two minutes of that conversation settles the whole ceremony. Where a church is your setting instead, the trade reverses: generous with space, mean with light, and St James in Gerrards Cross has a shape worth turning up early for. For a larger guest list, the Gerrards Suite at the Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross holds up to 350.

Every kind of wedding
Groups, speeches and the first dance
With group photographs the list outweighs the light entirely. Twelve combinations take twenty five minutes if somebody who knows all the faces calls the names out, and closer to forty when we are guessing. Appoint that person now, and put any grouping involving a great aunt near the top, while she is still in the room and still willing. A receiving line is not a substitute for that list, whatever anybody tells you: it moves too quickly and half the faces in it are turned away.
Measured in minutes, the legal exchange is over quickly; everything either side of it runs for hours, which is why we set up beforehand and stay afterwards. Speeches want a position that holds the speaker and the reaction together, usually whichever flank of the room nobody bothered to reserve. Your first dance is the one frame of the evening that can be planned exactly, because its place is already known and its hour nearly so.
Why choose us
What Gerrards Cross couples can expect
We arrive early, ask the awkward questions well in advance, and never ask anybody to repeat a moment for a tidier version. If you want a quiet day photographed quietly, that is what you will get. If you want the noise of it, we will do that instead, but say so out loud.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Gerrards Cross, frequently asked questions
A booking fee and a signed contract are what hold your date. The remainder is paid in the weeks running up to it. Nothing rests on a verbal promise, which protects you as much as us, because dates get asked about twice.
Yes, where those hours form part of your booking. Evening coverage earns its keep until the pictures begin repeating themselves, normally a while after the dancing settles down. We will say plainly when that point has arrived.
We do. A book gets designed after you have seen everything rather than before, and the layout comes to you for approval. Choosing from a complete gallery produces a better album than choosing from a shortlist we made.
Ask for one wedding in full. Twenty strong frames are easy for anyone to assemble, so they prove very little. What matters is the dull middle hours of a Gerrards Cross day, since most of yours will consist of those.
More than your schedule currently says. Groups, portraits and shifting people between rooms all overrun. Ninety minutes of daylight held back after the ceremony covers most of a Gerrards Cross wedding without anyone being hurried.
