The short answer
Your wedding photographer in Reigate, at a glance
Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings for more than 25 years, holds five European Kodak Gold Awards and is rated 4.8 from 580+ Google reviews, and he would photograph your Reigate wedding himself. We follow the day rather than direct it, so the photographs show how it felt, whether your vows are at The Mansion in Leatherhead, with its terrace and lawns, or at a venue in Reigate itself. Surrey's register office ceremonies take place at Guildford, Leatherhead and Weybridge rather than in Reigate, so for a civil ceremony in the town itself you would choose a licensed venue such as Reigate Manor Hotel, Hartsfield Manor or Reigate Hill Golf Club, and we photograph church, civil and multicultural days alike. We map out each day's shape beforehand, so we are already in position when the meaningful moments arrive. You can add an engagement shoot in Priory Park, with its lakes and sunken garden, a second photographer for busier days and a fine art album; travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
Sitting at the foot of the North Downs, this Surrey town gives a photographer two contrasting outdoor options a short distance apart. Priory Park holds the thirteenth century Reigate Priory with formal gardens and a lake, so reflected light off water and structured planting are both available; the Reigate Castle grounds, a public park on the site of a former Norman castle, offer raised ground and a different mood entirely. Reigate station sits on the North Downs Line with Southern trains to London Victoria, which is worth flagging to guests travelling in. Reigate Heath, Merstham and Betchworth are close enough that a delayed relative can still make the group photographs.
A superb and highly professional wedding photographer. Throughout the registry and wedding ceremonies Kaushik Bathia took beautiful photographs ensuring he captured all the special moments. His friendly personality put everyone at ease and his unique ideas resulted in some wonderful family pictures which we will treasure forever.
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 Bhatia is a professional, creative. He has ideas and great technique. He is nice, has a good approach to the customers, he is patient and focused on his work. I recommend:)
Serving Reigate
Reigate ceremony rooms and what they mean for your photographs
In law a wedding needs remarkably little time. The vows can be done with quickly, and whichever room hosts them was picked for its licence, not for the direction it happens to face. Worth knowing before a timeline gets built around it. Reigate sits below the North Downs and its licensed rooms are manor rooms, which shapes a day in ways couples rarely predict. Fewer guests, shorter distances indoors, and a ceremony finishing with the afternoon still ahead of it.
Registrars do not work alike, and what one permits during the ceremony the next will refuse. Ask yours outright instead of assuming, since that single reply governs where a camera stands through the passage of the day nobody can stage again. Reigate Manor is one obvious answer, and a manor room is not a hall. The Surrey register offices at Guildford, Leatherhead and Weybridge are another.

Every kind of wedding
Church, civil or country house, in and around Reigate
Licensed rooms come in two useful varieties: those with windows down one side, and those lit entirely from the ceiling. The first hands you modelling on a face for nothing. The second gives flat, even light, honest but dull, and a decision about whether to add to it. Ask which yours is when you view it, then stand in the middle and look back at the door. Stained glass is lovely and does peculiar things to skin tone, so a church rewards metering off something other than a face.
Time disappears into group photographs, and list length causes it, never the taking. A short roster stays manageable. A long one quietly eats your reception. Write it out, cut it, and appoint someone in each family prepared to shout names down a lawn. Every guest gets photographed once in a receiving line, which is its virtue, and a large part of your afternoon goes too, which is the cost. First dance and speeches ask little of you beyond a start time.
Why choose us
Preparation over luck on your wedding day
Preparation is what replaces luck. The order of events gets settled beforehand, the room is understood, and the behaviour of daylight at the relevant hour is worked out ahead, so the strong frames prove to be the predicted ones. Whatever cannot happen twice gets more than one exposure.
Around Reigate: venues, open spaces and landmarks
A photographer's plan for a Reigate wedding would take account of the ceremony venue, the reception and any space for portraits between them. These notes, taken from published sources, describe a few local options. Travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.
- Kingswood Golf and Country Club on Sandy Lane, Kingswood (KT20 6NE), is licensed for ceremonies of up to 106 guests in its Ballroom and Warren Room. 1
- Reigate Hill and Colley Hill. Much of the North Downs north of Reigate, including Colley Hill and Reigate Hill, is owned by the National Trust. 2
- Reigate Castle and Barons' Cave. Reigate Castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century, most likely by William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey; a gatehouse folly was added around 1777, and the Barons' Cave tunnels beneath were first dug for silver sand. 3
- The Mansion at 70 Church Street, Leatherhead (KT22 8DP), thought to have been rebuilt in 1710, has a State Room for up to 58 guests and a Tylney Room for 2 to 18, with a terrace and lawns for photographs. 4

Good to know
Wedding photography in Reigate, frequently asked questions
Every frame gets colour and exposure matched across the set, so it reads consistently from beginning to end. Retouching stays restrained after that: blemishes and stray distractions go, skin texture and faces remain. Tell us if something specific should disappear.
Yes. Full resolution and no watermark, sized so that a print holds up rather than merely a screen. A smaller set travels alongside for sharing, because the originals are unwieldy to email.
Yes. Send your draft schedule across at the earliest opportunity and we will flag the places photography is going to run short, which is almost always around the groups and in the stretch before the meal.
Yes, and we would recommend it. Half an hour of conversation reveals more about whether you want a given person at your wedding than any gallery can. Bring the awkward questions particularly.
A signed agreement and an initial payment hold your date between them. One without the other reserves nothing at all. Whatever is outstanding gets cleared before your wedding day, and dates are never held informally, so an unconfirmed enquiry leaves yours open.
