The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Tamworth, at a glance

For couples marrying in Tamworth, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. Rather than shooting continuously and sorting later, we work in short bursts and think between them, which is why the gallery has shape instead of forty near-identical versions of the cake. We cover every kind of wedding in Tamworth, from church, civil and register office ceremonies to country houses, barns, marquees, hotels and garden venues, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. We have been photographing weddings since 2001, and that long grounding means we read a day's rhythm quickly and are ready for its moments before they arrive. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Staffordshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

Once the capital of the Anglo Saxon kingdom of Mercia, this is a town whose history can be gathered into a single frame. Tamworth Castle, a Norman motte and bailey, rises straight above the streets, and the Castle Grounds pleasure gardens beside the River Anker give a soft planted foreground beneath it for couple portraits and smaller family groups. The Castle Hotel keeps the ceremony and that backdrop within a few minutes of each other, while Drayton Manor Hotel calls for a planned transfer. Tamworth railway station is an interchange between the West Coast Main Line and the Cross Country route, and with the M42 and A5 close by a late arrival from either direction can usually still be absorbed. Fazeley, Polesworth and Kingsbury sit within easy reach for couples wanting portraits away from the town centre.

Serving Tamworth

Say hello to your Tamworth wedding photographer

Two rooms inside one building can differ entirely in what they are licensed for, and the licensed one is not always the one with the view. That choice, settled months out, governs the pictures more firmly than anything decided afterwards. So two questions belong in every venue conversation: which space is licensed, and how daylight behaves in there near whichever hour a registrar has offered you.

Tamworth gives you a short list to work through. The Castle Hotel, Drayton Manor Hotel: two hotels, and hotels vary wildly in whether their licensed space is the good one or the leftover one. Beyond hotels there are churches, and a church is a different problem altogether, since the light is spectacular with hardly any of it landing where people actually stand. Which way a particular building falls is not something a brochure will admit to, so ask.

A Calm Presence

Every kind of wedding

Intimate elopements through to 300 guests

Legally the wedding takes about four minutes. Everything else is a party with a queue in it, and the difference between fifteen guests and three hundred is about queueing rather than about equipment. At the small end nobody waits for anything, the day can be shot loosely, and a couple barely notice a camera. At the large end every movement is a bottleneck, and whoever failed to count the doorways will spend an afternoon behind a crowd, arriving late to everything.

Group photographs are where that arithmetic bites. Each combination burns several minutes, mostly spent while one person is hunted down, so thirty of them eat an hour off the reception and hand back a row of increasingly tired faces. Draft the list, halve it, and pass what is left to a loud cousin rather than to us, since we cannot tell your uncles apart. Nobody has ever enjoyed the twenty ninth arrangement.

Why choose us

The reason Tamworth couples keep booking

Couples come back for dull reasons. We arrive early. A registrar gets asked what is allowed before anyone at all has been seated. We finish with the day covered rather than with a highlight reel, which yields fewer spectacular frames and many more that people actually live with.

Good to know

Wedding photography in Tamworth, frequently asked questions

Do you make wedding albums?+

Yes, and an album justifies itself. Galleries get opened twice and then left alone, while a bound object stays in circulation. You see the layout and change it before it reaches a press, and each family we work with chooses a different edit.

Do you bring a second photographer?+

Only on request. One camera is what a booking includes, and adding another buys simultaneity: two rooms covered while people dress, or a room's reaction held while the main lens stays on you. At small weddings that buys very little.

We feel nervous about the camera. How do you help in Tamworth?+

Almost everyone is. Our opening hour goes on everything and everyone except the two of you, by which point the camera has stopped counting as news. Portraits then run in short bursts, giving you something practical to do and no face to hold.

Do you cover small or intimate weddings in Tamworth?+

Yes. Those days often produce the better work. Twenty people generate no queue and no bottleneck, with nothing to defend against a clock, so the day gets followed instead of managed. Book only the hours you need.

How do we go about booking you for our Tamworth wedding?+

Start with your date and your venue, since availability decides the rest. Where the diary allows it, a meeting comes next, in person or over a call, before anybody commits. Paperwork and a first payment close it.
