Wedding Photographer in Portsmouth

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Portsmouth, at a glance

For couples marrying in Portsmouth, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. Our style is documentary at heart; we watch for the glances, the laughter and the quiet pauses, then let those moments become the story of your day. We cover every kind of wedding in Portsmouth, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. 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 Hampshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Naval history is not simply background in a city built largely on Portsea Island; it dictates where the good frames are. HMS Warrior as a wedding venue is a confined, high contrast environment of rigging and dark timber, so light is shaped rather than relied upon, while Portsmouth Guildhall and Langstone Quays Resort each want a different plan again. The Spinnaker Tower at Gunwharf Quays reads as a clean sail shape against sky and holds up well in the flat light that comes off the water. Southsea Common, a wide seafront green running along the shoreline, is where larger group photographs work, since there is room to place fifty people without stacking them. Portsmouth Harbour station links the South Western Main Line and the Isle of Wight ferry, so guests from Gosport, Portchester and Hilsea arrive at scattered times and arrival coverage is staged accordingly.
