The short answer
Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across Buckinghamshire for over twenty five years, and couples in High Wycombe choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. We work quietly in the background, following the day as it unfolds rather than staging it, so your photographs feel real and never posed for the sake of it. Whatever your wedding looks like in High Wycombe, 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. Twenty-five years in means we understand how a wedding day flows, so we can guide you through the parts we handle without ever taking over your day. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Buckinghamshire and the rest of the UK for your wedding.
Serving High Wycombe
High Wycombe is a Chilterns town. A register office ceremony followed by a marquee party, or a church service and a country-house dinner, are both days we photograph often around Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham and across Buckinghamshire. Whatever words you speak and whoever leads them, we photograph the ceremony as a story, from the anticipation before it to the relief and joy after.
Light guides much of what we do; we chase the soft hour, work with candlelight and use what a venue gives us to shape frames that feel timeless. Our documentary instinct means we are often looking where others are not, catching the reaction behind the speech and the smile just after the vows. You lead the day and we follow it, photographing the details you have planned and the surprises you have not, all without interrupting the flow.
For weddings in High Wycombe we are on familiar ground. High Wycombe is a Chilterns town, and our coverage naturally takes in the neighbouring areas, including Aylesbury and Beaconsfield. Around High Wycombe we regularly photograph at Danesfield House, The Pavilion at Lane End and Crowne Plaza Marlow, among others.
High Wycombe is a Chilterns town with a large South Asian community, including a strong Kashmiri and Pakistani presence, and it hosts an annual Asian Mela on The Rye. High Wycombe station sits on the Chiltern Main Line towards London Marylebone, with the M40 running close to the town. For relaxed couple photographs, we like The Rye, a riverside park between the River Wye and the Dyke with open grassland and an outdoor pool, and Hughenden Manor, the National Trust country home of former Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli just north of the town gives the day a strong sense of High Wycombe.

What we offer
We photograph the day as it unfolds, watching for real moments rather than staging them, so your gallery feels honest.
For weddings that run across two or three days, we build coverage around each event so nothing is left out.
A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other and helps you feel at ease in front of the camera.
Every kind of wedding
Whatever words you speak and whoever leads them, we photograph the ceremony as a story, from the anticipation before it to the relief and joy after. A civil service, a religious blessing or a humanist gathering all deserve the same careful eye, and we work softly so your guests barely notice the camera is there. However you choose to marry, we read the room first, learn where to stand and then document the exchange of vows as it truly unfolds.
We photograph the speeches from more than one angle when a second photographer is with us, so you keep both the joke and the reaction to it. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, so we watch both the speaker and the room, catching the joy, the tears and the applause. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, and we position ourselves to catch both the speaker and the faces around the room as the words land.

The whole celebration
Getting ready is where a lot of the honest pictures live, so we are there early for the quiet nerves, the last checks and the first look in the mirror. We tend to arrive while the flowers are still being set out, so the first frames show the day before anyone has touched it.
Our approach is to document the day evenly and let it tell itself, so the gallery reads start to finish without gaps. We resist rushing, letting each part of the day have its own moment, so the story you keep is complete rather than a run of headline scenes.
Why choose us
We have worked in tiny register offices and vast marquees, in bright sun and heavy rain, and we know how to get lovely pictures whatever the day hands us. A second photographer is available whenever your day calls for it, giving broader coverage and a second perspective on the moments you cannot be in two places for.
Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham and right across Buckinghamshire without a fuss. From preparations at home to a reception miles away, we keep pace across Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham and the wider Buckinghamshire without missing a moment.

Where we travel
A second photographer can join us when travel or a split-venue day calls for it, so coverage across Marlow, Beaconsfield and Amersham and Buckinghamshire stays seamless. Travel is simply part of the job for us, and a venue tucked away in Buckinghamshire is one we will reach comfortably with time to spare.

Good to know
Full day coverage typically produces between 500 and 700 finished images, though the exact number depends on your guest count, the schedule and how much is happening. We do not pad the gallery with near-duplicates. Every photo you receive has been chosen and edited, so you get the best of the day.
We know a wedding brings many costs together at the same time, so we are glad to arrange a simple payment plan. Most couples pay the booking fee up front, then settle the balance in a couple of instalments before the day. Just let us know what works for you and we will do our best to help.
Yes. Where a moment suits it, we prepare a considered black and white version alongside the colour edit, usually for strong light, emotion or reportage frames. You are not charged extra for this. The full gallery is delivered in colour, with black and white used where it genuinely adds something.
Yes. Every couple receives their full set of edited high-resolution images through a private online gallery, with the freedom to print them for your own use. You can download them, order prints, and share the link with loved ones who could not be there. Your photographs are yours to enjoy for many years to come.
Yes. We carry professional lighting and fast lenses, so dark ceremony rooms, winter afternoons and evening receptions are all manageable. We know how to work in low light without flattening the mood of a room. You do not need to change your plans around the forecast or the season.
We focus on ground-based photography and do not fly drones ourselves, since aerial work needs separate licensing and insurance. If your venue allows it and you want aerial coverage, we can suggest a qualified operator to work alongside us. Our attention stays on the people and moments throughout the day.
For most weddings within a reasonable distance, travel is included and there is nothing extra to think about. For venues much further afield, or where an overnight stay is sensible, we may add a small contribution towards costs, which we will always agree with you beforehand. There are never any hidden fees.
