Wedding Photographer in Thatcham

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Thatcham, at a glance

An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings in Thatcham and right across Berkshire. Our method is simple: we follow the day rather than direct it, so what you see later is how it actually felt, not a version we staged. Whatever your wedding looks like in Thatcham, 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. Knowing how long things really take is a service in itself. Fifteen minutes for couple portraits is realistic; forty is a fiction that costs you drinks with your guests. You can add an engagement shoot, a second photographer and hand finished albums, and we are glad to travel across Berkshire and beyond, so wherever your day is held it is well within reach.

The Kennet valley setting matters more than it first appears, because water and open reed beds bounce light upwards, which flatters faces late in the afternoon. St Mary's Church, Thatcham anchors traditional ceremonies in a town reputed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Britain, and the Nature Discovery Centre nature reserve gives a genuinely natural portrait location rather than a manicured garden. Regency Park Hotel sits close enough for a short transfer, while Newbury Racecourse and Wasing Park need a longer run and a firmer schedule. Thatcham railway station lies on the Great Western line between Reading and Newbury, and the Kennet and Avon Canal runs beside the town, giving towpath frames when a couple want ten minutes away from guests. Woolhampton, Bucklebury and Midgham all fall inside the same working area.
