Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Sevenoaks and throughout Kent for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. 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. We cover every kind of wedding in Sevenoaks, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. A second photographer is available whenever your day calls for it, giving broader coverage and a second perspective on the moments you cannot be in two places for. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Kent and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Serving Sevenoaks

Where your Sevenoaks wedding story begins

Sevenoaks is an affluent Kent town with grand estate venues. The venues of Kent range from tiny chapels to sweeping banqueting halls, and we have shot weddings in a good many of them, with the area near Tonbridge, Otford and Westerham especially familiar. The moment you are declared married deserves to be seen clearly, so we plan our angles in advance and hold steady when it arrives.

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 stay observant and patient, waiting for expressions to arrive naturally rather than asking for them, which keeps the whole set feeling warm and unposed. We photograph emotion first and composition second, then find that when the feeling is real the composition tends to take care of itself.

Sevenoaks is one of the places we come back to season after season. Sevenoaks is an affluent Kent town with grand estate venues, and our work naturally reaches the nearby Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells too. Around Sevenoaks we regularly photograph at St Julians Club, Riverhill Himalayan Gardens and Squerryes Court, among others.

Sevenoaks is an affluent Kent commuter town set close to the North Downs. Sevenoaks station runs Southeastern services to London Charing Cross in around 35 minutes, near the M25 and M26. For relaxed couple photographs, we like Knole Park, with over 1,000 acres of parkland and fallow deer, and Knole, a National Trust house set in a medieval deer park gives the day a strong sense of Sevenoaks.

Evening Party

As the lights drop and the dancing starts, we keep working to catch the energy of the party in full swing.

Every kind of wedding

Every kind of wedding, welcomed

We keep a respectful distance during the vows, using longer lenses so the intimacy of the moment stays between you while we still hold onto every expression. We understand that every ceremony has its own rhythm, so we read the room, keep our movement minimal and photograph the vows as they truly happen. 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.

The confetti line, the receiving line and the toasts each have their own small drama, and we are ready for all of them without asking anyone to pose. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, so we watch both the speaker and the room, catching the joy, the tears and the applause. 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.

The whole celebration

Getting ready right through to the party

Getting ready is where a lot of the honest pictures live, so we are there early for the quiet nerves, the last checks and the first look in the mirror. Starting with the first look or the getting ready gives the finished gallery a proper beginning, so the story opens where the day actually does.

The finished set should feel like the day itself, unhurried in the morning, warm over the meal and loose by the evening. From the first cup of tea to the sparklers at the door, we keep the thread of the day intact so nothing feels disconnected in the final set.

Why choose us

The quiet confidence of a photographer who has done this since 2000

After a quarter of a century of weddings, we stay calm when timings change, which they often do, and we adjust without any fuss reaching you or your guests. Couples have trusted us for over two decades, and much of our work still comes from the friends and family of people we have photographed before.

We are used to travelling for weddings, so reaching your venue in Kent is straightforward, and we happily follow the day from preparations through to the evening. It is no trouble at all for us to head out to Tonbridge, Otford and Westerham and the wider Kent, and we often do exactly that across the wedding season.

Rural lanes, tricky parking and out-of-the-way estates hold no fear for us; we have driven to weddings in every part of Kent. We check the route, the timings and the parking in advance for every booking, which keeps the trip to your venue in Tonbridge, Otford and Westerham or across Kent calm on the day.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Sevenoaks, frequently asked questions

Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?+

Yes, and we recommend them. A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and often calms any nerves about the wedding day itself. You also come away with lovely images you can use for save-the-dates or a guest sign-in book.

Can you help us plan the timeline for our Sevenoaks 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.

How do you handle the group and family photos?+

We plan the family groups with you beforehand and agree a short, realistic list, so nobody stands around waiting. On the day we call names clearly and keep each set moving, usually finishing the formal shots within twenty to thirty minutes. That leaves you more time to enjoy your guests.

How are the final images delivered to us?+

You receive a private online gallery of high-resolution images, which you can view, download and share with family and friends from any device. The gallery includes full-size files suitable for printing. We keep a backup for a set period after delivery, so nothing is lost if you misplace your copies.

Do you travel to Sevenoaks for weddings?+

Yes. Sevenoaks and the wider Kent area are well within our usual coverage, and we travel across the UK for weddings with no surprise travel cost added on. We like to discuss your venues and the route between them in advance, so the timings work and the day runs to plan.

Can we order prints and wall art?+

We offer professional prints, framed pieces and wall art produced by trusted UK labs, so the colour and quality match how the images look on screen. You can also print your own from the high-resolution files. If you want help choosing which frames suit a wall, we are happy to advise.

What happens if you are ill on the day?+

In more than twenty years we have never missed a wedding, but we take the risk seriously. We work within a trusted network of experienced professional photographers, so in a genuine emergency we can arrange skilled cover who shoots to our standard, and we still handle the editing of your images ourselves afterwards.
