Wedding Photographer in Richmond upon Thames

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Richmond upon Thames, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Richmond upon Thames and right across Greater London. During the meal we usually put the cameras down, because photographs of people chewing serve nobody, and we use that hour to shoot the room, the cake and the evening setup. Whatever your wedding looks like in Richmond upon Thames, 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. A thousand weddings gives you a mental library of ceremony layouts, so a church you have never entered still resolves into familiar sightlines within a couple of minutes of walking in. 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.

Deer, ancient trees and a stretch of the Thames make this south-west London borough one of the easier places in the capital to photograph a wedding outdoors, but the sheer size of Richmond Park is also the trap. It is a Royal Park and National Nature Reserve, and covering it properly means choosing one area of grassland or one group of trees and staying there, rather than driving between spots while the light goes. York House, The Bingham Riverhouse and The Petersham Hotel all sit close to the river, so the walk to a portrait location is short and the couple are back with their guests quickly. Richmond station serves the District line, South Western Railway and London Overground together, so guests from Twickenham, Teddington and Barnes arrive without cars and the schedule can be built around foot traffic rather than parking.
