The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Shenley and throughout Hertfordshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. From the first cup of morning tea to the last dance, we document the whole arc of your day, letting one moment lead naturally into the next. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Shenley. Having documented weddings across many cultures and styles, we arrive knowing the shape of a day and where its meaningful moments tend to gather. 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 Shenley
Shenley is a village with country-house wedding venues. There is real variety in where our couples marry, from register offices to grand houses and hotel ballrooms, and we photograph every one of them across Radlett, Borehamwood and London Colney and the wider Hertfordshire. We understand how quickly a ceremony passes, so we prepare thoroughly beforehand and then let the day carry us, catching the vows as they land.
During the quiet stretches we keep looking for the details you arranged, the flowers, the notes, the table settings, and fit them in without slowing anything down. 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. From the first cup of morning tea to the last dance, we document the whole arc of your day, letting one moment lead naturally into the next.
We travel to Shenley regularly and always look forward to it. Shenley is a village with country-house wedding venues, and we photograph weddings here and throughout the nearby area, London Colney and Ware included. Around Shenley we regularly photograph at London Shenley Club and Shenley Cricket Centre, among others.
Shenley is a Hertfordshire village with country-house wedding venues and an unusual eighteenth century village lock-up known as the Cage beside its pond. Shenley lies close to the A1(M) and M25, with the nearest railway station at Radlett on the Thameslink route. We often take couples to Shenley Park, with its walled garden, orchard and open parkland for a few quiet portraits, and Salisbury Hall, a Grade II* listed country house built in the seventeenth century is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
You receive full resolution images you can print, keep and pass on, with no watermark and no small print.
We are there while you get ready, catching the small details and the calm before the day opens up.
From grand country houses to village halls and city hotels, we read the light and space of wherever you marry.
Every kind of wedding
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. We photograph the exchange of promises gently, whether that happens at an altar, before a registrar or beneath an arch of flowers, so the pictures feel like the moment itself. We watch for the unguarded moments during the service, the shaking hands, the mouthed words, the parent wiping an eye, and hold them without interrupting anything.
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 first dance is yours alone for a moment, and we photograph it from the edges, letting the room and its faces frame you naturally. We photograph the arrivals, the confetti and the drinks that follow, giving the reception the same care we bring to the ceremony itself.

The whole celebration
The hour before you leave for the ceremony tends to hold the details worth keeping, the dress on its hanger, the shoes, the notes passed between rooms. Morning prep has its own rhythm, and we work quietly through it, letting the anticipation build in the pictures rather than staging it.
From the first arrivals to the last dance, we keep a steady thread running through the pictures so nothing important slips past unseen. Rather than chasing every second, we hold the shape of the day, giving each part enough frames to stand on its own later.
Why choose us
We know the shape of a wedding day well enough to keep the formal pictures short and the day on track, so you get back to your guests quickly. Five European Gold awards sit alongside a quarter of a century of experience, so you can trust both the craft and the steadiness we bring to your day.
We come to you, wherever the day unfolds, and we are comfortable covering venues throughout Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties. A day that moves between two or three venues asks for careful timing, and we sort the route and the schedule well before we leave for Radlett, Borehamwood and London Colney.

Where we travel
Whether your day stays close to Radlett, Borehamwood and London Colney or spreads across Hertfordshire, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps. From our studio it is an easy run out to Hertfordshire, and we always allow generous time so we can settle in well before the first shot.

Good to know
We design the first draft for you, choosing and sequencing images so the album flows as a story rather than a random set of photos. You then review the proof and request changes until it feels right. Nothing is printed until you have approved the final design, so you stay in control of the outcome.
Yes. Every package includes your edited photographs in full resolution with no watermarks, delivered through a private online gallery you can download from and share. You are free to print them yourselves at any size, though we are also happy to produce albums, framed prints and wall art finished to a professional standard.
Popular dates, especially in summer and around bank holidays, can be taken a year or more ahead, so earlier is always safer. That said, if your Shenley wedding is sooner, do still ask, as we sometimes have dates free at shorter notice. A quick call is the fastest way to find out.
Popular dates, especially summer Saturdays, tend to go twelve to eighteen months ahead, so earlier is safer. That said, it is always worth asking about shorter notice, as we sometimes have gaps around Shenley. Once you are fairly sure of your date, a quick message to check availability costs nothing and saves disappointment later.
Yes, we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK, and we would be glad to photograph your wedding in Shenley. We have worked at venues of every kind, from country houses to city hotels, so a new location is never a worry for us. Just let us know where you are marrying and we will be there.
For a full wedding day you can typically expect several hundred edited images, and often more for larger celebrations. We favour quality over sheer volume, so every photograph we deliver has been chosen and finished by hand. You receive them in full resolution with no watermarks, ready to print or share as you wish.
Look for a full gallery from real weddings rather than a few standout shots, a style that feels natural to you, and someone you warm to when you meet. Experience matters most on the day itself, when timings slip and the light changes. We have photographed more than a thousand weddings since 2001, so very little takes us by surprise.
