The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Huntingdon, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings, and travels to Huntingdon and right across Cambridgeshire. Marquees turn everyone slightly yellow or slightly blue depending on the lining, so we set a custom white balance under the canvas rather than fixing it all afterwards. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Huntingdon. Judging panels reward technical control, and that control shows up on ordinary Saturdays: a backlit exit shot exposed correctly the first time rather than rescued afterwards in editing. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Cambridgeshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Oliver Cromwell was born in this market town on the Great Ouse, and the Cromwell Museum, housed in the former grammar school he attended, keeps that history at the centre of the place. For wedding photography the more valuable asset is Hinchingbrooke Country Park, with over 170 acres of lakes and woodland, offering water, tree cover and open ground in a single visit and so suiting a tight afternoon. The Old Bridge Hotel, The George Hotel and Huntingdon Racecourse take the celebrations, and a racecourse gives space that no hotel garden can match for a very large group. Huntingdon railway station is on the East Coast Main Line, close to the A1 and A14, so guests arrive from both London and the Midlands, with Brampton, Hartford and Buckden immediately around the town.

Serving Huntingdon

Your Huntingdon wedding, told frame by frame

Huntingdon is a market town on the Great Ouse. From a quiet church ceremony to a large banqueting hall reception, we photograph the full range of venues in and around Cambridgeshire, including St Ives and Godmanchester and St Neots. Some ceremonies are hushed and some are joyful, and we adapt to both, photographing the vows, the rings and the glances that pass between you.

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. 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 ceilings are high and often gloomy, so bouncing light is useless; we work instead with fast lenses and whatever comes through the stained glass, which is usually plenty.

Weddings take us to Huntingdon more often than you might think. Huntingdon is a market town on the Great Ouse, and we are just as happy photographing couples in the neighbouring Cambridge and Peterborough. Local wedding venues we travel to near Huntingdon include The Old Bridge Hotel, The George Hotel and Huntingdon Racecourse.

Huntingdon is a market town on the Great Ouse and the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell. Huntingdon railway station is on the East Coast Main Line, close to the A1 and A14. When there is time for couple portraits, Hinchingbrooke Country Park, with over 170 acres of lakes and woodland is a favourite, and The Cromwell Museum, housed in the former grammar school Cromwell attended makes a memorable setting.

What we offer

What is included in your Huntingdon wedding coverage

The First Dance

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

Planning Together

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

Timeless Portraits

We set aside quiet time for portraits of the two of you, images made to be framed and enjoyed for years.

Every kind of wedding

Weddings for every couple in Huntingdon

Humanist and celebrant-led ceremonies tend to include readings from friends, and those readers deserve proper coverage because they are frequently the most nervous people in the building. Processions vary enormously in speed, and we photograph the walk in from the front rather than the back, because the faces of the people waiting are the point. When the ceremony is outdoors, the biggest risk is harsh overhead sun on your faces at noon, so we suggest angling the seating or the arch before anyone sits down.

Toasts photograph better when glasses are raised for a genuine three seconds; celebrants who count everyone in produce a far more usable frame than a ragged half-raise. Group photographs need not feel like a chore, and we run them briskly and with good humour so you are soon back among your guests. Garden games, lawn seating and a long drinks reception outdoors give far more photographic material than an hour in a bar, and we plan our movement around them.

The whole celebration

Start to finish coverage in Huntingdon

We map the opening hours of the day with you, from hair and make up to the journey to the ceremony, so the beginning feels unhurried and calm. Anything you want photographed in the morning should be in one room by the time we arrive, because the search for a missing garter costs more time than the photograph is worth.

We take care that the calm and the joyful sit side by side in your gallery, so the finished story holds the full range of how the day felt. Guest photographs peak during the drinks reception and then almost stop once people sit down, so we redistribute our attention towards you and the top table after the meal begins.

Why choose us

More than two decades of weddings

Steadiness under pressure is earned, not claimed, and a thousand weddings of practice is why we stay calm when a moment arrives only once. Register offices, marquees in fields and hotel ballrooms with no windows at all have all featured over twenty-five years, and each type asks for a different plan made before arrival.

The driving is ours to worry about, not yours, and we think nothing of a longer run to reach a venue in Cambridgeshire. Long journeys and remote settings suit us well, and weddings across St Ives, Godmanchester and St Neots and the further reaches of Cambridgeshire are all within easy reach.

Where we travel

Reaching Huntingdon and the villages around it

Being London based has never limited where we photograph, and a wedding in Cambridgeshire would be planned with the same written timeline and route check as one twenty minutes away. If your ceremony and reception sit some distance apart in Cambridgeshire, we would rather follow the wedding party than run ahead, unless the gap makes arriving first genuinely necessary.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Huntingdon, frequently asked questions

When is the best time for couple portraits?+

Wherever possible we aim for softer light in the later afternoon, often around golden hour, which flatters skin and adds warmth. We only need fifteen to twenty minutes, and we can split it into two short sessions. We will suggest the best slot once we see your timings and the season. This applies across Huntingdon and Brampton, Hartford and Buckden.

Do you offer drone photography or aerial shots?+

We concentrate on ground-based photography and do not fly drones ourselves, since aerial work requires its own licensing and insurance. If your venue permits it and you are set on aerial coverage, we can recommend a qualified operator to work alongside us. Our attention stays on the people and the moments throughout the whole day. For outdoor photographs in Huntingdon we often use Hinchingbrooke Country Park, with over 170 acres of lakes and woodland.

Do you make wedding albums?+

Absolutely. A selection of your favourites can become a hand-finished fine-art album, laid out together with you page by page so it flows as a narrative rather than a jumble of photos. Made from durable materials, it stands up to being enjoyed and inherited. Couples frequently add smaller parent copies as gifts for both sides of the family. Around Huntingdon we are glad to photograph at The Old Bridge Hotel and The George Hotel.

Would an engagement shoot help us relax?+

Many couples find it genuinely does. A relaxed pre-wedding session lets you get used to how we work and how you come across in photos, with no pressure and no crowd watching. It also gives us images for save-the-dates or a guest book. Come the wedding, being photographed feels familiar rather than something brand new. Around Huntingdon we plan for landmarks such as The Cromwell Museum, housed in the former grammar school Cromwell attended.

What happens if you are ill on the day?+

In over two decades we have never once missed a wedding, yet we never treat that as a given. We belong to a trusted circle of seasoned professional photographers, so should a real emergency strike, we can bring in capable cover who shoots to our standard, and the editing of your images still comes back to us afterwards. Huntingdon is easy to reach: Huntingdon railway station is on the East Coast Main Line, close to the A1 and A14.

What is included in your wedding packages?+

Most couples choose full-day coverage, an edited set of high-resolution images and a private online gallery. From there you can add a second photographer, an engagement shoot and a hand-finished album. We will walk you through the options and shape a package that fits your day rather than pushing a fixed list. Huntingdon landmarks we photograph near include The Cromwell Museum, housed in the former grammar school Cromwell attended.

Do your awards mean anything for our wedding?+

Awards are a reassurance rather than the whole story. Our five European Gold awards reflect years of consistent, careful work, but what matters most is that you love your own photographs. We are proud of the recognition; even so, your happiness with the finished images will always be the real measure for us. In and around Huntingdon that includes The Old Bridge Hotel and The George Hotel.
