The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Hammersmith and Fulham, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Hammersmith and Fulham and right across Greater London. Barn weddings tend to be dark by mid-afternoon even in summer, so we scout the doorway light on arrival and plan the portraits around it before the ceremony starts. 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 Hammersmith and Fulham. Fellow status with the BIPP and MPA is judged by peers, and the assessment process is genuinely useful; it keeps a photographer honest about work that has become merely habitual. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Greater London and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Riverside boroughs give a photographer two lighting conditions in a single afternoon, and this west London one uses both. Bishop's Park, a riverside park beside the Thames with tree-lined walks, holds shade through the middle of the day and opens out to reflected river light later, which is the more flattering of the two for portraits. Fulham Palace, the former residence of the Bishops of London, supplies the historic backdrop nearby. Linden House Riverside and The Queen's Club take the celebrations themselves, and the difference between them dictates how much time to hold back for outdoor work. Hammersmith station serves the District, Piccadilly, Circle and Hammersmith and City lines and the A4 runs through the borough, so guests from Shepherd's Bush, Barons Court or Chiswick arrive quickly and the schedule can stay tight rather than padded.

Serving Hammersmith and Fulham

Administration chooses your room, and taste only gets a say afterwards. Licensing attaches to particular rooms, not to a whole address, so a handsome building may offer you the one space in it with a north wall and no window worth the name. Before falling for anywhere, establish exactly which rooms in it you may legally stand in, and which way each of those faces.

Then think about light. Water nearby throws a cool, bouncing quality into west London rooms on a bright day; it flatters some complexions and drains others, and a room turned away from all that can go dull well before the afternoon is over. Visit yours in the hour of the day it will actually be yours. A mid-morning viewing appointment tells you about a mid-morning, and nothing else. Few hours spent before booking anyone repay themselves so quickly. Take a phone photograph while you are standing in there.

Every kind of wedding

No two Hammersmith and Fulham weddings are the same

Everything legally binding is over faster than the walk up the aisle. A few sentences, two names written down, done. That is why our positions get taken early, before the chairs have filled: none of it can happen twice. The looser part comes afterwards, and it is far better material anyway. People spill out of a doorway, somebody laughs too loudly, a drink is finished standing up.

Formal groups cause more schedule damage than any other item, purely because they get planned vaguely or not at all. So write them down: six or eight arrangements, each with a named person whose job is to fetch those people. Done that way it costs a fraction of what an improvised version costs. Anything with a microphone in front of it, or a floor cleared for dancing, wants the reverse approach, from somebody who has stopped organising people and is simply watching them.

Why choose us

How long have we been doing this? Long enough to relax

Long practice mostly reveals itself as calm. There is no hunting about, because the moment is expected and the standing position was chosen an hour ago. What couples remember afterwards is that nothing felt fussy, which is a harder thing to sell than a photograph and a more valuable thing to have.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Hammersmith and Fulham, frequently asked questions

Make somebody show you a wedding in full, arrival to midnight, never a highlights reel. Twenty selected frames tell you nothing about the other seven hours. Then notice how quickly your emails get answered, because that habit does not improve once money has changed hands.

Two things: a contract carrying both your signatures, plus a booking payment. Until they have both arrived, anyone else who enquires about that Saturday is free to take it. No date is ever held on a handshake, and written confirmation follows within the week.

Previews go out inside a few days, which lets you send something round the family while the wedding is still being discussed. A full edited gallery takes longer, because each frame gets worked on its own. The date we quote at booking is a realistic one.

Yes, and ordered through us instead of some high street lab, so the colour you approved is the colour that reaches your wall. Loose prints, mounted panels and framed pieces are all available once your gallery has been delivered.

Roughly a year ahead is typical, and summer Saturdays disappear first. Further out than that, nothing is lost by enquiring early. Closer in, enquire anyway; a calendar is rarely as full as people assume it is.
