The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in London Colney and throughout Hertfordshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We plan the timings with you beforehand, then let the day breathe on its own, photographing what unfolds rather than steering it toward a set list of shots. We cover every kind of wedding in London Colney, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. From engagement shoots through to the finished album, we guide you through each stage with the ease that comes from having done this for well over two decades. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving London Colney
London Colney is a village beside the river Colne. Hotels, marquees, barns and historic churches each ask for a slightly different eye, and we bring all of it to weddings throughout Hertfordshire, St Albans, Shenley and Colney Heath included. 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.
You will barely notice us for much of the day, and that is the point; the less we intrude, the more relaxed everyone stays in front of the lens. You lead the day and we follow it, photographing the details you have planned and the surprises you have not, all without interrupting the flow. We move calmly through the day, anticipating where the next moment will land, so we are already in place when it happens instead of chasing it.
For weddings in London Colney we are on familiar ground. London Colney is a village beside the river Colne, and our coverage naturally takes in the neighbouring areas, including Ware and Hoddesdon. Close to London Colney, we have worked at venues including Sopwell House.
London Colney is a village beside the River Colne, taking its name from the river and lying just north of junction 22 of the M25. London Colney sits at junction 22 of the M25, close to the A414 and A1081 roads south east of St Albans. We often take couples to Napsbury Park and the water meadows along the River Colne for a few quiet portraits, and The de Havilland Aircraft Museum at Salisbury Hall, home to three de Havilland Mosquitoes is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
We stay from the morning preparations through to the evening, so the whole story is there in one set.
A second photographer covers the other side of the day, from the groom getting ready to guest reactions you would otherwise miss.
Beyond the album we can produce framed prints and wall art, so your favourite images live on your walls.
Every kind of wedding
Vows are the heart of the day, and we photograph them without fuss, moving carefully and keeping our distance so the moment stays entirely yours. When two traditions come together in one ceremony, we photograph each part with equal warmth so the finished set honours both sides of your family. 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.
The confetti line, the receiving line and the toasts each have their own small drama, and we are ready for all of them without asking anyone to pose. When the evening party begins and the lights come down, we adapt our approach, working in low light to keep the dancing alive and full of energy. A pre-wedding shoot around London Colney or a place that means something to you gives us relaxed images and a head start on the wedding day.

The whole celebration
A pre-wedding event or welcome gathering the evening before is often relaxed and full of feeling, and we are glad to be there to record it. If your celebration runs across more than one day, we can build coverage around that, from the pre-wedding events through to the main morning.
The best record of a wedding carries you through it hour by hour, and that is what we aim for, from the early stillness to the last song of the night. We stay light on our feet through the whole day, moving with the celebration rather than pulling it towards us for a picture.
Why choose us
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. We have been photographing weddings since 2001, and that long grounding means we read a day's rhythm quickly and are ready for its moments before they arrive.
A day that moves between two or three venues asks for careful timing, and we sort the route and the schedule well before we leave for St Albans, Shenley and Colney Heath. We are happy to follow you wherever the celebration leads, and venues throughout Hertfordshire are all comfortably within our reach.

Where we travel
We build a generous cushion into every travel plan, so we are set up and ready at your Hertfordshire venue long before the first guests arrive. Rural lanes, tricky parking and out-of-the-way estates hold no fear for us; we have driven to weddings in every part of Hertfordshire.

Good to know
Weddings often drift a little, and we are relaxed about that. If you would like us to stay past the agreed finish time, we can usually add extra hours on the day, and we will let you know the cost before we carry on. We would much rather stay than miss a memorable moment.
Many couples find it does. A relaxed pre-wedding session lets you get used to how we work and how you look in your photos, with no pressure and no audience. It also gives us images for save-the-dates or guest books. By your wedding day, being photographed feels natural rather than new.
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.
In more than twenty years we have never missed a wedding, but we take the risk seriously. We work within a trusted network of experienced professional photographers, so in a genuine emergency we can arrange skilled cover who shoots to our standard, and we still handle the editing of your images ourselves afterwards.
Yes, we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK, and we would be glad to photograph your wedding in London Colney. We have worked at venues of every kind, from country houses to city hotels, so a new location is never a worry for us. Just let us know where you are marrying and we will be there.
For most weddings we arrive early on the day itself, which gives us time to check the light and find the strongest backdrops. If your venue is unusual or you would like a pre-visit, we are happy to arrange one where practical. Knowing the space in advance means we spend the day on you, not on logistics.
Yes. Where a moment suits it, we prepare a considered black and white version alongside the colour edit, usually for strong light, emotion or reportage frames. You are not charged extra for this. The full gallery is delivered in colour, with black and white used where it genuinely adds something.
