Wedding Photographer in Gillingham

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Gillingham, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across Kent for over twenty five years, and couples in Gillingham choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. Rather than posing you together, we ask you to walk away, talk to each other and ignore us, then photograph the third or fourth exchange once you have forgotten the instruction. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country house weddings, and from village churches to garden and marquee celebrations, we photograph every kind of wedding in and around Gillingham. Our long track record gives couples confidence that we will turn up prepared, work through the whole day, and deliver the pictures we promised on time. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Kent and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Dockyard architecture wants scale and a wide lens; a hotel ballroom wants control of light and quick, confident group work. Gillingham, the largest of the Medway towns and home to a diverse community, asks for both, since The Historic Dockyard Chatham and the King Charles Hotel both host weddings. Gillingham station sits on the Chatham Main Line with Southeastern services and the A2 close by, so an evening arrival or a late baraat is unlikely to be held up by the approach alone. Riverside Country Park, with its walking trails along the Medway estuary, gives an open estuary horizon that stays usable when the sky turns interesting, and it is the natural place to take a couple away from the room for twenty minutes. The Royal Engineers Museum tells the story of military engineering nearby, and Twydall, Wigmore and Hempstead are close enough to gather guests quickly.
