Wedding Photographer in Tower Hamlets

The short answer

Your wedding photographer in Tower Hamlets, at a glance

Kaushik Bathia FBIPP FMPA, winner of five European Kodak Gold Awards, has photographed weddings since 2001 from his Northwood studio, about 17 miles from Tower Hamlets, with coverage from £750. No two days are forced into one formula, so the pictures follow your people, your venue and your mood, whether that is the waterside setting of London Museum Docklands or the stained glass of the Town Hall Hotel. In Tower Hamlets that might mean a civil ceremony at St George's Town Hall on Cable Street, vows in the stained-glass Council Chamber at the Town Hall Hotel, a ceremony on the high-level walkways of Tower Bridge or a gallery wedding at the Arts Pavilion in Mile End Park, as well as multicultural and fusion celebrations. Steadiness under pressure comes from 25 years of weddings, which is why we stay calm when a moment happens only once, whether on a Tower Bridge walkway or in a register office on Cable Street. An engagement shoot in Victoria Park, a second photographer for a busier day and fine art albums can all be added to the booking.

Glass towers and river light make this borough unusual to photograph, because the Canary Wharf financial district throws hard reflections in the middle of the day and turns warm and cinematic in the evening, so couple portraits are best held back until later. The historic Tower of London on the western edge gives the opposite texture, old stone set against a modern skyline. The Town Hall Hotel and London Museum Docklands each suit a different kind of day, from intimate to large and formal. Victoria Park in the north of the borough is one of London's oldest public parks and remains the most reliable place for family groups with room to breathe. Canary Wharf station on the Jubilee line and Elizabeth line, plus the DLR network, makes arrivals from Bow, Bethnal Green and Poplar simple to time.
