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. We prefer honest to perfect, so we hold back from rearranging people or props and let the day look the way it really was as it happened. 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. When something goes awry, a late car or a missing buttonhole, we have seen it before and we quietly help sort it rather than adding to the stress. 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.

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. Vows are the heart of the day, and we photograph them without fuss, moving carefully and keeping our distance so the moment stays entirely yours.

Our style is documentary at heart; we watch for the glances, the laughter and the quiet pauses, then let those moments become the story of your day. When we do gather you for couple portraits, we keep it brief and easy, walking and talking rather than posing, so the pictures still feel like you. 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.

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 have worked at venues including South Lodge, Random Hall Hotel and Cisswood House Hotel.

Horsham is a West Sussex market town whose pedestrianised Carfax has hosted a market since medieval times and still holds a Saturday market with a bandstand for summer performances. 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. 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

01

Planning Together

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

02

The First Dance

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

03

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

Some couples marry quietly with a handful of witnesses and others before a full congregation, and we adapt our approach so the coverage suits the scale of your ceremony. We are comfortable in Horsham venues of every kind, and we plan quietly with your officiant or celebrant beforehand so nothing about the service surprises us. 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.

Group shots need not be stiff, and we keep them relaxed and quick, gathering families in good humour so nobody stands about waiting in the sun. From the first arrivals to the send off, we photograph the reception as one continuous celebration rather than a series of items to tick off a list. The first dance is yours alone for a moment, and we photograph it from the edges, letting the room and its faces frame you naturally.

The whole celebration

The bits you will not see happen, caught anyway

Early coverage means we are already reading the light and the layout of the venue by the time your guests begin to gather. Starting with the preparations lets us gather the small details, the shoes, the rings, the handwritten notes, before the day gathers pace around you.

We read how the day is going and step back when it needs room, then come closer for the moments that ask to be kept. We stay with you from morning until the party is in full swing, so the pictures move naturally from calm to celebration without any gaps in the middle.

Why choose us

Twenty-five years behind the camera, and counting

With more than 1000 weddings behind us over twenty-five years, very little takes us by surprise, and that experience keeps us steady when a day runs long. Experience teaches you to expect the unexpected; after so many weddings we have a quiet plan for rain, delays and last minute changes, and it rarely shows.

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.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Horsham, frequently asked questions

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.

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 aware of the schedule and step back for key moments like the ceremony and speeches, so everyone gets what they need without treading on each other.

Nerves are completely normal, and nearly every couple feels the same at first. Because we work mainly in a documentary way, most of the day asks nothing of you, so you soon forget we are there. An engagement shoot beforehand is a gentle way to practise, and by the wedding the camera feels far more familiar.

You are free to print, share and post your images for personal use as much as you like, with no per-print fees. We simply ask that photos are not sold commercially or edited beyond recognition, and that we are credited if you share them publicly. We keep the copyright, which lets us show a few images in our portfolio.

Weddings often drift a little, and we are relaxed about that. If you would like us to stay past the agreed finish time, we can usually add extra hours on the day, and we will let you know the cost before we carry on. We would much rather stay than miss a memorable moment.

Yes, and we recommend them. A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and often calms any nerves about the wedding day itself. You also come away with lovely images you can use for save-the-dates or a guest sign-in book.

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.
