The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Leamington Spa, at a glance
For couples marrying in Leamington Spa, Kaushik Bathia, FBIPP and FMPA, offers wedding photography from £750 and brings five European Kodak Gold Awards and 25+ years behind the camera. For portraits we would suggest a walk through the Regency streets around the Parade, Clarendon Square and Lansdowne Circus, gathering pictures as you go rather than pulling you away from your guests for long. Warwickshire County Council's nearest registration office to Leamington is Warwick Registration Office at Shire Hall, Warwick, and its ceremony rooms include two wood-panelled rooms at St John's House, Warwick, one for up to 40 guests and one for 6. For a larger day, Warwick Castle's Great Hall takes 120 for a ceremony or wedding breakfast and 180 for an evening reception, and at that size we would keep the group list short so the speeches start on time. A second photographer, hand finished albums and an engagement shoot are all available, and Newbold Comyn, a 300-acre park whose Observation Hill gives wide views across south Warwickshire, would suit a relaxed session. We travel from Northwood; travel and any overnight stay are quoted in writing before you book.
Regency architecture sets the tone in a town granted its Royal title by Queen Victoria, and that elegance carries straight into the photographs. The Royal Pump Rooms on The Parade, dating from 1814, give a clean classical frontage that works in flat cloud as well as in sun, while Jephson Gardens beside the River Leam is the ornamental green space for couple portraits and a settled group shot. Mallory Court Hotel and The House and Orangery sit far enough apart that the run between ceremony and reception has to be timed rather than assumed. Leamington Spa railway station carries services to Birmingham, Coventry, London Marylebone and Stratford-upon-Avon, with the M40 close by, so arrivals split between rail and road. Families coming from Whitnash, Cubbington or Radford Semele use local roads that fill at exactly the wrong hour.
Kaushik was exceptional at creating our wedding photo album! He designed it so beautifully and his customer service was the best. The album quality and design is amazing, we loved it! Wow what a great job. Highly recommend for photo albums.
I had hired Mr Kaushik as our photographer for my son and daughters wedding fir all the ceremonies conducted and found him to be friendly professional with all the guests The quality of his photographs are excellent and are of high quality I was also very impressed when he had completed the albums He also give extra hours if needed and does not complain I would recommend to anyone
Kaushik is an excellent professional photographer. He is friendly and pleasant. Our visit was an enjoyable experience. His service is prompt and efficient. As a Northwood resident it makes me happy to be able to use local businesses. I highly recommend him.
Serving Leamington Spa
Civil ceremonies around Leamington Spa
A wedding without a religion in it is not therefore an easy wedding. The legal part takes twenty minutes at most, and everything else is yours to invent, which is harder work than following a fixed order. Whatever room you sign in must carry a licence, and the licensed room in a building is rarely the handsomest one. Make that trade knowingly. Couples who learn it at the door tend to resent it.
No two registrars work quite alike. Some are easy about where a camera stands during the vows and some are firm, and you will only find out by asking yours directly and early. Tell us what they said, because it dictates our position for the only twenty minutes that admit no second attempt. Venues within reach include The House and Orangery and Mallory Court Hotel.
Check your date
Every kind of wedding
All faiths and traditions welcome
The signing is the legal core and it is done in moments. Every other item is convention, and convention moves. A ceremony room facing north gives you soft even light and no theatre at all. The same room facing west at five in the afternoon gives you theatre plus a lot of squinting. Neither is a mistake. Both deserve thinking about before anything goes to the printer, since nobody enjoys shifting a ceremony time afterwards, and the invitation fixes it in ink.
Nothing devours an afternoon like group photographs. Ten of them will eat more than an hour once you count the time spent extracting people from the bar. Write the list out, hold it down to eight, then give a copy to a couple of relatives with carrying voices who can recognise everybody. We call them from the front. Twenty minutes with that list in hand, fifty without one.
Why choose us
When the Leamington Spa timetable runs late
Days run late. Nearly all of them do, and what helps is arithmetic rather than panic: which things shorten without anybody noticing, and which do not. Portraits shorten. Group lists shorten. Low sun in the last hour does not shorten, so we protect that and shuffle everything else around it.

Good to know
Wedding photography in Leamington Spa, frequently asked questions
Yes. An album is printed to order once you have chosen the images, and choosing is the slow part. A first layout arrives from us, you alter whatever needs altering, and it goes off to press when you are content.
Not by default. One of us covers most weddings comfortably. A second is an add-on you can choose, and it is worth it if your day splits across two places at once or you want two angles on the same moment.
Yes, and a short day often photographs better than a long one. Fewer people means fewer group shots and more real conversation, so a shorter booking covers them in Leamington Spa rather than pretending a full day is needed.
We keep a circle of photographers we would trust with our own booking, and a stand-in is arranged the same morning if it ever comes to that. Your files and the terms you signed stay exactly as they were.
The design is ours and stays in the studio; the printing and binding go to a bookbinder who does nothing else. We would rather that than run a press badly. You see a proof of every spread before it is made.
