The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Gerrards Cross, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Gerrards Cross and right across Buckinghamshire. Rather than calling out instructions, we tell you where to walk and then stop talking, because the ten seconds after direction ends is usually where the real expression arrives. We cover every kind of wedding in Gerrards Cross, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. The value of a thousand weddings is pattern recognition: we know that the best light of an English summer day is usually an hour and a half before it is convenient. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Buckinghamshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Since the railway arrived in 1906 this south Buckinghamshire commuter town has grown into one of the most affluent in the county, and its wedding settings reflect that: the Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross, Colston Hall and The Bull Hotel. Chiltern Main Line services to London Marylebone make it straightforward for a Northwood-based photographer to arrive early and stay through the evening. St James Church, the Grade II* listed church of 1859 designed by Sir William Tite, carries a distinctive dome that reads well in a wide establishing frame and gives ceremony coverage an architectural anchor. Gerrards Cross Common, woodland and open space managed for public use, is the natural portrait ground, its tree cover softening hard midday sun into something usable. Fulmer, Iver and Stoke Poges lie close enough that guest travel rarely disrupts a running order, so the golden hour slot tends to survive intact.

Serving Gerrards Cross

Say hello to your Gerrards Cross wedding photographer

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, 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. Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross, The Bull Hotel and Colston Hall fill out the rest of a local shortlist.

Every kind of wedding

From registry office to temple

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

The reason Gerrards Cross couples keep booking

We arrive early, we put the awkward questions long in advance, and we never request that anybody perform something a second time for a tidier version. Want a quiet day photographed quietly, and that is what arrives. Want the noise of it, and 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.
