Wedding Photographer in Hackney

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Hackney, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Hackney and right across Greater London. Rather than shooting continuously and sorting later, we work in short bursts and think between them, which is why the gallery has shape instead of forty near-identical versions of the cake. Whatever your wedding looks like in Hackney, a church service, a register office, a country house, a barn or a hotel, and whatever your traditions, we photograph the whole day as it happens. Having photographed over a thousand weddings, we can usually tell within ten minutes of arriving whether the schedule will hold, and we adjust quietly rather than announcing a problem. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Greater London and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Independent shops, markets and a strong arts and music scene make this east London borough a place where street texture is part of the story rather than a distraction from it. Hackney Town Hall and Shoreditch Town Hall both bring civic interiors that suit formal coverage, and both sit in streets worth stepping into between the ceremony and the meal. The Hackney Empire, a Grade II* listed Edwardian theatre, is the borough's landmark and a useful reference for anyone who wants something with period drama. Victoria Park, one of London's oldest public parks, has lakes and open lawns that give a clean, quiet counterweight after an hour of busy pavement. Hackney Central and Hackney Downs stations link everything by London Overground, and Dalston, Stoke Newington and Clapton are within a very short hop, so a portrait run rarely costs more than twenty minutes.
