Wedding Photographer in Staines-upon-Thames

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Staines-upon-Thames, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia has photographed weddings across Surrey for over twenty five years, and couples in Staines-upon-Thames choose him for calm, natural coverage backed by more than a thousand weddings and five European Gold awards. Marquees turn everyone slightly yellow or slightly blue depending on the lining, so we set a custom white balance under the canvas rather than fixing it all afterwards. Whatever your wedding looks like in Staines-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. Award-winning work counts for nothing if the second half of the day is thin, so we pace our attention deliberately and never spend the whole afternoon on portraits. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout Surrey and the rest of the UK for your wedding.

Where the River Colne joins the Thames, this northwest Surrey market town puts its best photographic ground right on the water. Lammas Recreation Ground runs along the riverside and gives open grass with the river behind it, which is a straightforward setting for both couple portraits and a large family group, and Staines Bridge over the Thames provides the structural frame that identifies the town at a glance. The Swan Hotel sits by the river itself, while Great Fosters is a very different proposition in its own grounds, so the plan is drawn to suit whichever is chosen. Staines railway station is managed by South Western Railway with services to London Waterloo, to Reading via Ascot and to Windsor, and junction 13 of the M25 is close, so an evening arrival from Laleham, Wraysbury or Stanwell presents no problem.
