The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Horsham, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across West Sussex for over twenty five years, and couples in Horsham choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. The candid frames matter most to us, the glance across a room or a quiet hand held during the vows, and we shoot to keep those honest and unforced. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Horsham. Professional indemnity and public liability cover are in place because venues increasingly ask to see certificates, and producing one on request is part of what a long-established business does. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across West Sussex and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.

Market days have run through the pedestrianised Carfax since medieval times, and a Saturday market with a bandstand for summer performances still fills it, which is worth knowing before a wedding party is walked through the town centre on a Saturday afternoon. Horsham Park, a large public park with a boating lake close to the centre, is the calmer and more reliable portrait ground. The Capitol Theatre gives the town its landmark. South Lodge, Random Hall Hotel, Cisswood House Hotel and Gaveston Hall spread the celebrations across the West Sussex countryside, so transfer time governs how much outdoor coverage is possible. Horsham railway station, on the line to London Victoria and the south coast, has served the town since 1848, with the current listed building dating from 1938. Warnham, Roffey and Broadbridge Heath are all close in.

Serving Horsham

Say hello to your Horsham wedding photographer

Horsham is a West Sussex market town with country venues. Churches, banqueting halls, country estates and garden venues across West Sussex are all part of our regular calendar, and Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater is well within it. We understand how quickly a ceremony passes, so we prepare thoroughly beforehand and then let the day carry us, catching the vows as they land.

Confetti works best when someone lines the guests into two short rows rather than a wide circle, and we ask your ushers to sort that while you wait indoors for a moment. Our editing is understated and true to life, favouring natural tones over heavy effects so your album still feels right many years from now. Backlight is our default for portraits, placing the sun behind you and exposing for your faces, which keeps skin soft and stops anyone squinting through an entire session.

Getting across to Horsham is a straightforward run for us. Horsham is a West Sussex market town with country venues, and we photograph weddings here and throughout the surrounding towns, Crawley and Plymouth among them. Close to Horsham, we cover venues including South Lodge, Random Hall Hotel and Cisswood House Hotel.

We often take couples to Horsham Park, a large public park with a boating lake close to the town centre for a few quiet portraits, and The Capitol Theatre in the town centre is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

What is included in your Horsham wedding coverage

Planning Together

Before the wedding we talk through the running order and your priorities, so nothing is left to guesswork.

The First Dance

We frame the first dance to hold both of you and the faces around you, keeping the whole feeling of it.

Travel Anywhere

We photograph weddings across the country and are happy to travel wherever your celebration is taking place.

Every kind of wedding

Big celebrations and quiet ones alike

Church, courtyard, clifftop or town hall, wherever you choose to make your promises, we frame the reactions on both sides and the quiet glance you share halfway through. We watch for the unguarded moments during the service, the shaking hands, the mouthed words, the parent wiping an eye, and hold them without interrupting anything. The registrar will usually explain their rules to us in the ten minutes before the ceremony, and we treat those rules as absolute rather than testing them once the doors close.

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. Between the ceremony and the meal, the drinks reception is where the day breathes, and we move through it gathering the warmth and the conversation. The first dance can be lit properly with two small lights placed behind you, and we set those during the meal so nothing is being rigged while you are dancing.

The whole celebration

The bits you will not see happen, caught anyway

Mirrors are the most useful object in any preparation room, giving us two angles at once, so we work around them rather than avoiding our own reflection. Early coverage means we are already reading the light and the layout of the venue by the time your guests begin to gather.

Autumn weddings gain enormously from an earlier ceremony, since a two o'clock start in October leaves almost no daylight for portraits by the time the confetti is finished. We deliver a set that feels balanced, giving weight to the getting ready, the vows, the meal and the dancing so no chapter is left thin.

Why choose us

Twenty-five years behind the camera, and counting

With more than 1,000 weddings behind us over twenty-five years, very little takes us by surprise, and that experience keeps us steady when a day runs long. Trust is built on evidence, and between the awards, the albums and the long list of couples before you, there is plenty to reassure you before you book.

We check the route, the timings and the parking in advance for every booking, which keeps the trip to your venue in Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater or across West Sussex calm on the day. We travel widely for weddings and think nothing of a longer drive to reach venues in and around Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater and the broader West Sussex.

Where we travel

Close to Horsham, wherever you marry

A day that moves between two or three venues asks for careful timing, and we sort the route and the schedule well before we leave for Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater. Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Crawley, Billingshurst and Southwater and right across West Sussex without a fuss.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Horsham, frequently asked questions

Do we receive the high-resolution images to keep?+

You do. Your full collection of hand-edited, high-resolution photographs arrives in a private gallery, and you are welcome to print them yourself for your own use. Download them, order prints, or share the link with loved ones who missed the day. They belong to you, to look back on for a lifetime. This applies across Horsham and Warnham, Roffey and Broadbridge Heath.

Can you work with our other suppliers on the day?+

Of course. A wedding runs on teamwork, so we liaise happily with your planner, venue coordinator, celebrant, videographer and band to keep the day flowing. We stay mindful of the schedule and step back for key moments like the ceremony and speeches, so everyone gets what they need without treading on one another's toes. In and around Horsham that includes South Lodge and Random Hall Hotel.

We feel nervous about the camera. How do you help in Horsham?+

Please do not worry, that jitter is something couples share almost universally. Because we photograph mainly as observers, very little of the day is directed, and you forget the camera is even there before long. We often suggest an engagement session first as a relaxed warm-up, so being photographed on your Horsham wedding day feels natural rather than daunting.

What can we do with our photos afterwards?+

You are welcome to print, share and post your images for personal use as much as you please, with no charges per print. All we ask is that they are not sold commercially or altered beyond recognition, and that we are credited when shared publicly. We retain the copyright, which simply lets us feature a few in our portfolio. Around Horsham we plan for landmarks such as The Capitol Theatre in the town centre.

What happens if the day runs late and we need you to stay longer?+

It is quite normal for a wedding to run over, and we stay relaxed about it. When you want us there longer than agreed, we can generally extend on the day, and we always let you know the cost before we do. We would much sooner keep shooting than pack away and miss something special. Getting to Horsham is straightforward for us: Horsham railway station, on the line to London Victoria and the south coast, has served the town since 1848, with the current listed station building dating from 1938.

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?+

We do, and it is well worth it. Spending a relaxed hour or two together before the wedding lets us build a rapport, eases you into being photographed and quietly takes the edge off any first-day nerves. As a bonus, the pictures work beautifully for save-the-dates or a sign-in book for your guests. Outdoors in Horsham we like Horsham Park, a large public park with a boating lake close to the town centre.

Do you ask for a deposit to secure our date?+

Yes, we ask for a booking fee when you confirm, which reserves your date in our diary and comes off your total balance. The remaining amount is then due a few weeks before the wedding. We will set everything out clearly in writing, so you always know exactly where you stand. Open air sessions near Horsham tend to use Horsham Park, a large public park with a boating lake close to the town centre.
