The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Islington, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Islington and right across Greater London. Barn weddings tend to be dark by mid-afternoon even in summer, so we scout the doorway light on arrival and plan the portraits around it before the ceremony starts. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Islington. Our work has been recognised with five European Gold awards, though what matters more on the day is that you can hand us the details and stop worrying. 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.

Upper Street and Angel give this fashionable inner north London borough a lively mix of shops, theatres and restaurants, and streets that busy need a photographer who can move a wedding party quickly and without fuss. Islington Town Hall and Islington Assembly Hall are the two civic settings, both interiors, so the outdoor work has to be deliberate rather than opportunistic. Highbury Fields, the borough's largest open space, is where it belongs, with room enough for a full group and trees to soften a harsh afternoon. The Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal, in Highbury is the landmark most guests will recognise. Angel station on the Northern line and Highbury and Islington on the Victoria line and London Overground mean almost nobody needs to drive, and Canonbury, Barnsbury and Finsbury are a short walk for many.

Serving Islington

Photographing weddings across Islington

Licensing fastens itself to a particular room, never to the address as a whole, which is a legal detail with photographic consequences. So the number that matters when you book is which room you have been given, and what its windows face. Two rooms beneath one roof can differ by an hour of workable daylight, and by a ceiling that dictates how the vows get lit. Ask for the room by name and ask which way it looks. Named civic settings here number two: Islington Assembly Hall, plus Islington Town Hall.

The second variable is your registrar, and registrars are not interchangeable. Whoever conducts the legal part decides how much freedom a camera has during it, and that ruling runs anywhere from one fixed position at the rear to something a good deal looser. Only your own registrar can tell you, and finding that out in advance beats any lens in our bags.

Every kind of wedding

However you marry in Islington

The legal portion is usually the shortest scheduled item of the entire day. Couples plan for months around it and are then startled to find it finished while they were still settling into their chairs. Coverage weight therefore belongs either side of it: the twenty minutes while a room fills, and the receiving line, when guests reach your face one at a time. Marrying in a church shifts the same authority to a different office, and the incumbent's ruling is equally final.

Your list of family combinations decides whether the afternoon runs or drags. Hold it to eight arrangements or so, do all of them in one spot rather than chasing people about, and nominate two relatives loud enough to fetch a great-uncle from the bar. A list of twenty configurations eats an hour you meant to spend on the couple. During speeches the picture is not the speaker but the table opposite, so we work low, off to one flank, never from behind the microphone.

Why choose us

Experience that shows in Islington

A civic booking runs to a clock somebody else set, so the timings arrive written down, along with a plan for whatever short window sits between one party leaving a room and the next one filling it. Islington sits well inside our patch. You get somebody who settled on a standing position before the doors ever opened.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Islington, frequently asked questions

Will you travel abroad for a destination wedding?+

We will. Long-haul or short, the same two issues decide it: how light behaves at that latitude in that particular month, and whether somebody scheduled the vows around heat or around convenience.

What is included in your wedding packages?+

Hours of attendance, an edited gallery you reach online, and a proper conversation beforehand about your running order. Albums sit outside that, chosen on their own, since bundling makes half of every couple pay for something unwanted.

What can we do with our photos afterwards?+

Print them, hang them, post them, send copies to whichever relatives ask. Personal use belongs to you outright. We only need a word first if something is going to be used commercially, which rarely happens.

Can we have the raw or unedited files?+

No. An unprocessed file is an ingredient and not a picture; passing over several thousand of them would misdescribe what you commissioned. Editing is not a stage that follows the work. Editing is the work.

How many hours of coverage will we need for an Islington wedding?+

For a wedding in Islington start from the ceremony hour and stretch outwards until you hit the two things you would most regret losing. That distance, rather than a round number in a brochure, is the honest figure.
