The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Sarratt, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Sarratt and right across Hertfordshire. We prefer honest to perfect, so we hold back from rearranging people or props and let the day look the way it really was as it happened. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Sarratt. Twenty-five years in means we understand how a wedding day flows, so we can guide you through the parts we handle without ever taking over your day. 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 Sarratt

Wedding photography in Sarratt

Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green. Country houses, garden venues and banqueting halls all sit on our regular list, so wherever you are marrying in Hertfordshire the venue is likely to be one we have worked before, Chorleywood, Chipperfield and Rickmansworth included. 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.

We work in available light wherever we can, adding a soft flash only when a dark room needs it, so the images stay true to how the evening looked. When we do gather you for couple portraits, we keep it brief and easy, walking and talking rather than posing, so the pictures still feel like 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.

Reaching Sarratt from London is quick and familiar for us. Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village with a historic green, and we cover weddings throughout the wider area, taking in Knebworth, Welwyn and beyond. Local wedding venues we know near Sarratt include Micklefield Hall and The Grove.

Sarratt is a pretty Chilterns village in the Three Rivers district, clustered along a long narrow historic green about four miles north of Rickmansworth. Sarratt is served by nearby Chorleywood and Rickmansworth stations on the Metropolitan line, and lies close to junction 18 of the M25. When there is time for couple portraits, The Chess Valley and Sarratt Bottom, a chalk stream landscape in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a favourite, and The Church of the Holy Cross, a flint and brick church founded around 1190 makes a memorable setting.

What we offer

What is included in your Sarratt wedding coverage

Engagement Shoots

A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other and helps you feel at ease in front of the camera.

A Second Photographer

A second photographer covers the other side of the day, from the groom getting ready to guest reactions you would otherwise miss.

Into The Evening

As the light drops and the music starts, we keep going, following the party through to the last dance.

Every kind of wedding

Big celebrations and quiet ones alike

We keep to the edges during the ceremony, using quiet cameras and natural light so your officiant, your guests and your vows are never interrupted. We time our movements to yours, staying still through the readings and the promises, then finding the right spot for the first kiss as a married couple. The exchange of rings, the signing of the register and the walk back up the aisle all matter to us, and we cover each without asking you to pause.

We set aside a little time for portraits, walking with you somewhere quiet for a handful of relaxed frames that still feel like you. The first dance is yours alone for a moment, and we photograph it from the edges, letting the room and its faces frame you naturally. The drinks reception is where the day loosens and the real laughter starts, so we move through the crowd and photograph the reunions and quiet chats as they happen.

The whole celebration

Nothing missed while you are with your guests

The hours before the ceremony hold some of the loveliest pictures of all, so we begin with the getting ready and let the anticipation build on its own. 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.

Pacing matters, so we keep our energy steady from the first preparations to the last dance and photograph the lulls as thoughtfully as the peaks. We deliver a set that feels balanced, giving weight to the getting ready, the vows, the meal and the dancing so no chapter is left thin.

Why choose us

What all those years of weddings actually give you

We carry backup cameras, spare lenses and duplicate memory cards to every wedding, so a single piece of kit failing never puts your pictures at risk. 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.

We are happy to follow you wherever the celebration leads, and venues throughout Hertfordshire are all comfortably within our reach. You should never have to think about how we get there; reaching venues throughout Hertfordshire is something we quietly take care of.

Where we travel

Weddings throughout Sarratt and around

Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Chorleywood, Chipperfield and Rickmansworth and right across Hertfordshire without a fuss. We come to you, wherever the day unfolds, and we are comfortable covering venues throughout Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Sarratt, frequently asked questions

How do you edit and retouch photos for Sarratt weddings?+

We edit every selected image by hand for colour, exposure and tone, keeping skin and daylight looking natural rather than heavily filtered. Retouching stays light, so we remove passing distractions and blemishes without reshaping how you actually look. If anything specific concerns you, tell us early and we will note it before the day.

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

Yes, and we encourage it. After twenty-five years and more than a thousand weddings, we know how long each part really takes, from getting ready to the first dance. We are glad to review your draft schedule and suggest small adjustments, so the day flows and the photography never feels squeezed.

Do you ask for a deposit to secure our date?+

Yes, we ask for a booking fee when you confirm, which reserves your date in our diary and comes off your total balance. The remaining amount is then due a few weeks before the wedding. We will set everything out clearly in writing, so you always know exactly where you stand.

Does experience really make a difference on the day?+

We think it does. After more than twenty-five years and over a thousand weddings, we read a room quickly, sense moments before they happen, and stay calm when the timings wander. That quiet experience means you can relax and be present, knowing the day is in safe and steady hands.

Do you edit in black and white as well as colour?+

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.

Do you film video as well as photography?+

We are photographers rather than a film company, so we keep our full attention on stills. If you would like a film of the day, we work well beside videographers and can recommend teams whose style sits comfortably with ours. Booking both early helps everyone plan around the same timeline.

What is included in a typical Sarratt wedding photography package?+

Most couples choose full coverage from the morning preparations through to the first dance, all your edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery to share with family and friends. You can add a second photographer, an engagement shoot, or one of our hand-finished fine-art albums. We will tailor the details to the day you have in mind.
