The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Solihull, at a glance

For couples marrying in Solihull, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. We shoot loosely and instinctively, following the energy of the room, so the collection you receive moves at the same pace the day actually did. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country house weddings, and from village churches to garden and marquee celebrations, we photograph every kind of wedding in and around Solihull. We back up every set of images in more than one place as soon as the day is done, so your photographs are safe long before your album is made. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout the West Midlands and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Serving Solihull

What a wedding day in Solihull looks like through our lens

Solihull is an affluent town near Birmingham with grand venues. From intimate register office ceremonies to grand country estates, we cover every kind of venue throughout Shirley, Knowle and Dorridge and the wider the West Midlands. Whatever words you speak and whoever leads them, we photograph the ceremony as a story, from the anticipation before it to the relief and joy after.

We photograph the connections between people, the parent watching from the side and the friends in fits of laughter, because those are the frames you return to. We give couples space to enjoy their own wedding, gathering the images around you rather than pulling you out of the moment for the sake of a shot. Most of the day we work quietly from the edges, watching for the small moments between the big ones and letting them unfold without any nudging from us.

Few journeys are simpler for us than the one to Solihull. Solihull is an affluent town near Birmingham with grand venues, and we photograph weddings across the neighbouring West Bromwich and Walsall as readily as here. We are at home at Solihull-area venues such as Nuthurst Grange, The Limes Country Lodge Hotel and Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel.

Solihull is an affluent town on the south eastern edge of Birmingham known for its historic High Street and green suburbs. Solihull railway station lies on the Chiltern line to London Marylebone, with the M42 running past the town. We often take couples to Malvern Park and the adjoining Brueton Park beside the River Blythe for a few quiet portraits, and The medieval St Alphege Church in the town centre is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer

What is included in your Solihull wedding coverage

Into The Evening

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

Planning Together

Before the wedding we talk through the running order and your priorities, so nothing is left to guesswork.

Every Venue

From a register office to a country house, we work with the space you have chosen and its own kind of light.

Every kind of wedding

Traditions we know and traditions we learn

We photograph civil ceremonies, religious services and humanist celebrations with the same care, honouring your traditions and the shape your day is meant to take. 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. However you choose to marry, we read the room first, learn where to stand and then document the exchange of vows as it truly unfolds.

The morning preparations set the tone, so we begin early, photographing the calm, the nerves and the laughter as you and your party get ready. We cover the details you have laboured over, the flowers, the table settings and the cake, then return our attention to the people who fill the room. 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

Full coverage of your Solihull wedding

Morning prep has its own rhythm, and we work quietly through it, letting the anticipation build in the pictures rather than staging it. For a first look or a private exchange of gifts before the ceremony, we hold back and let it happen, gathering the picture from a respectful distance.

A wedding has its own tempo, and we follow it, letting the quiet stretches breathe and being ready when the pace lifts again. From the first arrivals to the last dance, we keep a steady thread running through the pictures so nothing important slips past unseen.

Why choose us

Experience that shows in Solihull

Our work has been recognised with five European Gold awards, though what matters more on the day is that you can hand us the details and stop worrying. We finish every wedding into hand made, fine-art albums, a craft we have refined over many years so your collection is something to pass on.

From our studio it is an easy run out to the West Midlands, and we always allow generous time so we can settle in well before the first shot. You should never have to think about how we get there; reaching venues throughout the West Midlands is something we quietly take care of.

Where we travel

From Solihull to the rest of the West Midlands

Travel is simply part of the job for us, and a venue tucked away in the West Midlands is one we will reach comfortably with time to spare. We build a generous cushion into every travel plan, so we are set up and ready at your the West Midlands venue long before the first guests arrive.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Solihull, frequently asked questions

Do your awards mean anything for our wedding?+

Awards are a reassurance rather than the whole story. Our five European Gold awards reflect years of consistent, careful work, but what matters most is that you love your own photographs. We are proud of the recognition; even so, your happiness with the finished images will always be the real measure for us.

What happens if it rains on our Solihull wedding day?+

Rain is no reason to worry, and some of our favourite images come from wet days. We scout indoor backdrops and covered spots in advance, keep a few clear umbrellas ready and adapt the timing so portraits happen during any dry window. British weather rarely ruins a day, and it often adds atmosphere.

What happens if your equipment fails?+

We carry professional backup cameras, lenses and lighting to every wedding, and we photograph to dual memory cards so images are written twice as we go. We also hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance, which many venues ask to see. Nothing on a wedding day can be re-run, so this cover is not optional for us.

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.

Do you travel to Solihull for weddings?+

Yes, we travel across the West Midlands and the wider UK, and we would be glad to photograph your wedding in Solihull. 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.

Can you photograph our venue in Solihull?+

Almost certainly. We photograph at every kind of venue, from country houses and barns to hotels, register offices and places of worship in and around Solihull. If we have not worked there before we research the space and, where possible, visit or arrive early to read the light and plan the key shots.

Do you know the wedding venues in Solihull?+

We have photographed across the West Midlands and the wider region for many years, so there is a good chance we already know your venue and its best spots. If it is somewhere new to us, we research the layout beforehand and arrive early to scout. Either way we come prepared rather than working it out on the day.
