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

A civil wedding has a legal core that is over quickly and a day built around it that runs twelve hours. Nearly everything worth photographing sits in the second part. The first part still sets your constraints, though, because the licensed room is chosen for you by whichever building you booked, and that room fixes your ceremony light whether it suits you or not.

Go into that room at whatever hour the ceremony has been booked for, on any day they will let you in, and see where the sun has reached. One such visit beats any brochure. Should the answer turn out to be a wall of glass behind the registrar, that is workable, but March is a better time to learn it than August. The four here are South Lodge, Gaveston Hall, Random Hall Hotel and Cisswood House Hotel.

The First Dance

Travel Anywhere

Every kind of wedding

Big celebrations and quiet ones alike

Couples rarely expect how much registrars vary. Certain of them are content for the whole thing to be shot from wherever you like; others want one position held and no movement after the doors shut; some prefer the vows themselves left alone. Knowing beforehand removes the problem entirely; learning it as the music starts creates one. Put that question in when you book the room, not the week before.

Overrunning happens at the group photographs more than anywhere else, and arithmetic fixes it better than charm does. Write your list, then cap it. Appoint somebody on each side who recognises every face it names. A dozen arrangements is comfortable; two dozen costs an hour of your drinks reception and leaves relatives queuing. We say honestly which ones you would still want hanging on a wall in ten years. Ten minutes given to the list beforehand returns a good thirty out on the lawn.

Why choose us

Twenty-five years behind the camera, and counting

Equipment stopped being the valuable part a long time ago. Twenty-five years leaves you knowing by nine in the morning roughly how the light intends to behave at seven, and knowing which five minutes of the speeches are better spent watching the audience than the speaker. Judgement is what nobody can buy quickly.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Horsham, frequently asked questions

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

Yes. Every edited frame arrives at full size, and printing them yourself is licensed wherever you choose to do it. Nothing is drip-fed, and nothing is withheld so it can be sold on later. Download the lot, back it up twice, and it is yours.

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

We count on it. A word beforehand with the planner, the band and whoever runs the floor heads off most of a day's small collisions. Should your videographer want to talk it through, put us in touch and sightlines get settled between us.

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

By being unremarkable. We do not shout, we do not conduct, and after an hour or so most people in Horsham stop registering that we are present. Where a formal portrait is unavoidable it stays brief and you are told what follows.

What can we do with our photos afterwards?+

Print them. An album, a few framed pieces, a book for his parents and one for hers. Files on a drive get opened twice. Anything on paper survives house moves, new phones and the quiet death of whichever cloud service you happened to use.

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

Ask on the night. We do not pack away mid first dance because a clock says to. Extra hours run at an agreed rate you will have seen in writing beforehand, so no awkward haggling occurs while guests watch.
