The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Lichfield, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Lichfield and right across Staffordshire. Our approach is calm and observant; we anticipate the moments a beat before they happen, which is how the honest ones end up beautifully framed. 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 Lichfield. We carry backup cameras, spare lenses and duplicate memory cards to every wedding, so a single piece of kit failing never puts your pictures at risk. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Staffordshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Serving Lichfield

Lichfield wedding photography, done properly

Lichfield is a cathedral city in Staffordshire. We spend our weekends in churches, register offices, country houses and marquees alike, covering the length and breadth of Staffordshire and the towns surrounding Burntwood, Rugeley and Tamworth. Ceremonies rarely run to the second, so we stay alert throughout, ready for the moments that arrive early, run long or happen when least expected.

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. Our couple portraits are unhurried and easy; we find good light, give a little gentle guidance, then leave room for you to relax and be yourselves. We blend honest reportage with a short set of relaxed, guided portraits, so you keep both the candid frames and a handful of timeless ones you will treasure.

Whenever a wedding in Lichfield comes up, we are glad to say yes. Lichfield is a cathedral city in Staffordshire, and our coverage stretches out to Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and the towns in between. Local wedding venues we know near Lichfield include Swinfen Hall Hotel, Netherstowe House and Coton House Farm.

Lichfield is a small cathedral city and the birthplace of the writer Samuel Johnson. Lichfield City and Lichfield Trent Valley stations serve the city, with the A38 and A5 close by. We often take couples to Beacon Park and the adjoining Minster Pool and Museum Gardens for a few quiet portraits, and Lichfield Cathedral, the only medieval English cathedral with three spires is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

What is included in your Lichfield wedding coverage

Print & Wall Art

Beyond the album we can produce framed prints and wall art, so your favourite images live on your walls.

Every Venue

From a register office to a country house, we work with the space you have chosen and its own kind of light.

The Speeches

We watch both the speaker and the table, so the laughter, the pauses and the quiet tears are all held.

Every kind of wedding

From church to country house in Lichfield

We photograph the exchange of promises gently, whether that happens at an altar, before a registrar or beneath an arch of flowers, so the pictures feel like the moment itself. Ceremonies rarely run to the second, so we stay alert throughout, ready for the moments that arrive early, run long or happen when least expected. Our approach to the ceremony is simple: watch closely, stay out of the way and record the promises exactly as you make them.

Long before the wedding, an engagement or pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know you, so the camera feels familiar by the time the day arrives. We photograph the cake, the first dance and the evening party with an easy touch, so the celebration keeps its energy while we quietly gather the pictures. Between the set pieces there are portraits of just the two of you, and we keep those short and natural so you can slip back to the party quickly.

The whole celebration

A second photographer for the wider view

Getting ready is where a lot of the honest pictures live, so we are there early for the quiet nerves, the last checks and the first look in the mirror. We build the timeline around the light as well as the schedule, so portraits and early moments fall when the day looks its most flattering.

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. Our aim is a balanced record, roughly even weight on the ceremony, the meal, the speeches and the dancing, rather than one crowded chapter.

Why choose us

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. Over a thousand couples have trusted us with their wedding, and that depth of experience is why we stay composed when the timing tightens or the weather turns.

We are happy to follow you wherever the celebration leads, and venues throughout Staffordshire are all comfortably within our reach. Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Burntwood, Rugeley and Tamworth and right across Staffordshire without a fuss.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Lichfield, frequently asked questions

Do you offer wedding albums for couples in Lichfield?+

Yes. We design fine-art albums using thick, lay-flat pages and archival printing, then send you a proof to review before anything goes to print. You can add matching parent copies at a smaller size. The album is optional, so you can book coverage alone and add one later if you prefer.

What happens if your equipment fails?+

We carry professional backup cameras, lenses and lighting to every wedding, and we photograph to dual memory cards so images are written twice as we go. We also hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance, which many venues ask to see. Nothing on a wedding day can be re-run, so this cover is not optional for us.

We would rather not have too many posed photos; is that alright?+

Absolutely. Our style is largely documentary, so we tell the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, without lots of stiff posing. We will still gather the handful of family groups you would like, then step back and let the day breathe. You should feel present at your own wedding, not managed through it.

Do you travel to Lichfield for weddings?+

Yes. Lichfield and the wider Staffordshire area are well within our usual coverage, and we travel across the UK for weddings with no surprise travel cost added on. We like to discuss your venues and the route between them in advance, so the timings work and the day runs to plan.

Do you provide a written contract?+

Yes, every booking comes with a clear written agreement that sets out what is included, the hours of coverage, the costs, and the payment dates. It protects both of us and means there is no confusion later on. We will happily answer any questions before you sign, so you feel completely comfortable.

Can we meet before the wedding?+

Yes, and we encourage it. We are happy to meet in person or over a video call to talk through your plans, your venues and the moments you most want captured. Meeting beforehand means you are working with familiar faces on the day itself, which helps everyone feel relaxed when the cameras come out.

How does the deposit and booking work?+

Your date is held once we have a signed agreement and a booking deposit, with the balance due before the wedding. The deposit secures your date against other enquiries and comes off your total. We keep the paperwork simple and clear, and we are always happy to explain any part of it before you commit.
