Wedding Photographer in Ilford

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Ilford, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Ilford and throughout Greater London for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We read the light in each room and work with what the day gives us, favouring window light and shade over anything that draws attention to a camera. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country house weddings, and from village churches to garden and marquee celebrations, we photograph every kind of wedding in and around Ilford. Our long track record means references are easy to come by and albums easy to show, so you can see exactly the standard your day will be photographed to. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Greater London and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Redbridge's main town has a large, long established South Asian community and a corresponding density of banqueting: Crown Banqueting Suite, Praba Banqueting Suite, Krystel Banqueting and The Outfields. Rooms like these usually mean controlled artificial light for hours at a stretch, which makes the outdoor half hour the part of the day worth defending hardest. Valentines Park, the former grounds of Valentines Mansion, provides it, and the mansion itself, a Grade II listed house built in 1696, gives a stone facade that suits a formal group of any size. Ilford station sits on the Great Eastern Main Line and is served by the Elizabeth line into central London, so guests come in from the city as easily as from Barkingside, Chadwell Heath and Newbury Park. On days this long, a second photographer keeps two locations covered at once.
