The short answer

Your wedding photographer in New Malden, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in New Malden and right across Greater London. Speeches are photographed from two positions if a second photographer is booked, one on the speaker and one on the top table, so the joke and its landing both survive. Whatever your wedding looks like in New Malden, a church service, a register office, a country house, a barn or a hotel, and whatever your traditions, we photograph the whole day as it happens. More than a thousand celebrations means we can advise on the timeline before you book anything, which is often more valuable to couples than any conversation about cameras. 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.

Europe's largest Korean community is based here, and the concentration of businesses along the High Street and Burlington Road known as Koreatown gives this part of south-west London a street backdrop found nowhere else in the country. It is worth using deliberately rather than treating as background. Beverley Park, an open green space with sports pitches and a playground, is the local option for family groups and a short couple's walk. The Royal Oak is the reception venue on record here, so many couples pair a local ceremony with a party further out, which puts a real transfer into the middle of the day. New Malden station sits on the South Western Main Line with direct trains to London Waterloo, while Motspur Park, Coombe and Old Malden supply the short local runs.

Serving New Malden

Say hello to your New Malden wedding photographer

New Malden is a diverse south-west London area. Whether your day is at a garden venue, a banqueting hall or a historic country house, we photograph across Kingston, Worcester Park and Raynes Park and throughout Greater London. From the first steps down the aisle to the final walk back as a married couple, we follow your ceremony closely and let it breathe without any staging.

Children set the tone at a wedding, and if they are photographed early and enjoying themselves, the adults around them relax considerably faster than any amount of coaxing would manage. We keep a low profile through the ceremony and speeches, using longer lenses from a distance so nobody feels watched and the real reactions come through. 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.

Photographing a wedding in New Malden always feels like familiar ground. New Malden is a diverse south-west London area, and we cover the wider area, taking in Barking and Dagenham, Barnet and the county around them. Venues we have photographed at near New Malden include The Royal Oak.

New Malden is a diverse south-west London area home to the largest Korean community in Europe, with many Korean shops and restaurants earning it the nickname Little Korea.

We often take couples to Beverley Park, an open green space with sports pitches and a playground for a few quiet portraits, and the concentration of Korean businesses along the High Street and Burlington Road, known as Koreatown is a lovely backdrop nearby.

Every kind of wedding

Ceremonies of every shape in New Malden

The moment before you walk in is often better than the entrance itself, so where a second photographer is booked, one waits at the door while the other covers the room ahead. From the walk down the aisle to the final blessing, we follow the ceremony as it happens, never staging a thing and never breaking its rhythm. Once you are declared married, the room usually erupts, and we shoot the congregation rather than you for the two seconds it takes for the applause to reach its peak.

Portraits with your family and closest friends matter, and we make time for them without letting the schedule stall or the day lose its momentum. We photograph the speeches from more than one angle when a second photographer is with us, so you keep both the joke and the reaction to it. Long after the formal moments, guests keep giving you gifts of expression, and we stay alert through the evening for the hugs, the toasts and the goodbyes.

The whole celebration

Nothing missed on your New Malden day

Where the ceremony is at midday, the preparation coverage is necessarily short and focused, and we would rather do ninety concentrated minutes than pretend three hours are available. Someone always needs help with buttons, and that small piece of assistance from a mother or a sister is one of the photographs couples most often choose for the album.

By staying with you from start to finish, we can show the day building, so the energy on the dance floor clearly comes from somewhere. Long summer days tempt couples into late ceremonies, and while that works beautifully for evening light, it compresses everything before the meal into a very tight afternoon.

Why choose us

The difference a seasoned eye makes

With more than twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings behind us, very little on a wedding day is new to us, and that calm shows in the pictures. Experience means we anticipate what is coming next, so we are ready for the tears during the vows and the laughter in the room before either arrives.

Whether your day stays close to Kingston, Worcester Park and Raynes Park or spreads across Greater London, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps. Ceremony in one town and reception in another is a pattern we handle smoothly, planning the gap so the pictures never stop, whether that is within Kingston, Worcester Park and Raynes Park or across Greater London.

Where we travel

Knowing the roads, the venues and the shortcuts around New Malden

Access to Greater London venues varies enormously, and the questions we would ask are the dull ones: where to unload, where to park, and who holds the key to the ceremony room. Couples marrying in Greater London get a schedule built backwards from sunset rather than forwards from the ceremony, since the light is the part that cannot be rescheduled.

Good to know

Wedding photography in New Malden, frequently asked questions

Do we receive the high-resolution images to keep?+

Yes. Every couple receives their full set of edited high-resolution images through a private online gallery, with the freedom to print them for your own use. You can download them, order prints, and share the link with loved ones who could not be there. Your photographs are yours to enjoy for many years to come. Locally in New Malden that takes in the concentration of Korean businesses along the High Street and Burlington Road, known as Koreatown.

Can you help us plan the timeline for our New Malden wedding?+

Absolutely, and most couples find it invaluable. With twenty-five years and a thousand-plus weddings behind us, we know exactly how much time each part of the day needs. Share your provisional plan for New Malden and we will gently reshape anything that looks tight, keeping the celebration relaxed and giving the photography room to breathe.

How far in advance should we book you for a New Malden wedding?+

Popular dates, especially in summer and around bank holidays, can be taken a year or more ahead, so earlier is always safer. That said, if your New Malden wedding is sooner, do still ask, as we sometimes have dates free at shorter notice. A quick call is the fastest way to find out.

What style of wedding photography do you offer?+

We work primarily in a documentary style, quietly following the day and capturing genuine moments rather than staging them. Alongside that sit a brief, easy portrait session for the two of you and some brisk family groups. What you end up with is an authentic account of the day that also includes the classic portraits worth hanging on a wall. Getting to New Malden is straightforward for us: New Malden station is on the South Western Main Line with direct trains to London Waterloo.

We are not used to being photographed. Will you direct us?+

Yes, as much as you need. For portraits we offer simple, friendly prompts about where to stand and what to do with your hands, so you never feel stranded in front of the lens. The rest of the day needs almost nothing from you, because we work quietly around the celebration as it unfolds. Outdoors in New Malden we like Beverley Park, an open green space with sports pitches and a playground.

How much time should we allow for photography?+

It depends on your plans, but as a guide we suggest around thirty minutes for family groups, twenty for couple portraits and a little breathing room after the ceremony. We would rather you enjoy the day than rush between set-ups, so we build the schedule to feel relaxed. We will talk this through with you. We cover New Malden and nearby Motspur Park, Coombe and Old Malden.

How much does a wedding photographer in New Malden usually cost?+

Prices vary with the hours you need, whether you would like a second photographer, and if you want a finished album. We are happy to talk you through the options for your New Malden wedding and put together a quote that suits your day and your budget. Do call us on 07956 505383 for a friendly chat.
