The short answer
For couples marrying in Ware, Kaushik Bathia offers award winning wedding photography, with more than twenty five years of experience and over a thousand weddings behind the camera. We read the light in each room and work with what the day gives us, favouring window light and shade over anything that draws attention to a camera. Church, civil, country house, barn, marquee or hotel, and every faith, culture and fusion celebration, we are equally at home photographing them all in Ware. Having covered a thousand celebrations, we know where to stand for the confetti, the first dance and the speeches, so the key moments are never missed. A second photographer, relaxed engagement shoots and hand finished fine art albums are all available, and we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK so distance is never a problem.
Serving Ware
Ware is a historic malting town on the river Lea. From rustic barns and marquees to elegant hotels and historic churches, we cover the venues right across Hertford, Hoddesdon and Stanstead Abbotts and beyond into Hertfordshire. Whether you marry in a church, a register office or under a canopy in a country garden, we photograph the vows discreetly and with real respect for the setting.
We read a room before we lift the camera, learning where the warmth is and letting the true character of your day come through in the images. You will barely notice us at work, and that is the point; we move calmly around the day so the pictures show how it actually felt, not how it was arranged. We favour natural light and genuine expression, keeping our presence light so guests forget the camera is there and simply enjoy themselves.
Over the years we have grown to know Ware and its venues. Ware is a historic malting town on the river Lea, and we photograph weddings across the surrounding towns too, from Hoddesdon through to Bishop's Stortford. Around Ware we regularly photograph at Fanhams Hall and Hanbury Manor, among others.
Ware is a historic malting town on the River Lea, famous for its unique row of eighteenth century riverside gazebos. Ware station is on the Hertford East Branch Line, with services to London Liverpool Street via Broxbourne. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, we love spots such as The riverside gazebos and the grounds of Ware Priory beside the River Lea, with Scott's Grotto, an eighteenth century underground grotto built by the poet John Scott and the largest in the country close by for a striking backdrop.

What we offer
From grand country houses to village halls and city hotels, we read the light and space of wherever you marry.
We photograph the day as it unfolds, watching for real moments rather than staging them, so your gallery feels honest.
Church, civil, humanist or multi-day celebrations, we photograph the customs that matter to your two families.
Every kind of wedding
A registry office wedding can be just as moving as any cathedral, and we bring the same attention to the small, tender details wherever your vows take place. The moment you are declared married deserves to be seen clearly, so we plan our angles in advance and hold steady when it arrives. During the ceremony we work quietly with longer lenses, so whether you exchange vows in a church, a register office or a garden, we stay unobtrusive and miss nothing.
Portraits with your family and closest friends matter, and we make time for them without letting the schedule stall or the day lose its momentum. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, and we position ourselves to catch both the speaker and the faces around the room as the words land. Speeches bring the biggest reactions of the day, so we watch both the speaker and the room, catching the joy, the tears and the applause.

The whole celebration
Starting with the preparations lets us gather the small details, the shoes, the rings, the handwritten notes, before the day gathers pace around you. We talk through the timeline with you well ahead, marking the light, the travel and the key moments so the early part of the day runs without a rush.
We give equal care to the quiet moments and the big ones, so the finished set tells the whole story of the day, not just its highlights. We resist rushing, letting each part of the day have its own moment, so the story you keep is complete rather than a run of headline scenes.
Why choose us
With more than 1000 weddings behind us over twenty-five years, very little takes us by surprise, and that experience keeps us steady when a day runs long. Whatever the size or style of your wedding, we have very likely photographed something similar, and that familiarity lets us focus fully on your particular day.
We are used to travelling for weddings, so reaching your venue in Hertfordshire is straightforward, and we happily follow the day from preparations through to the evening. The driving is ours to worry about, not yours, and we think nothing of a longer run to reach a venue in Hertfordshire.

Where we travel
We come to you, wherever the day unfolds, and we are comfortable covering venues throughout Hertfordshire and the surrounding counties. We travel widely for weddings and think nothing of a longer drive to reach venues in and around Hertford, Hoddesdon and Stanstead Abbotts and the broader Hertfordshire.

Good to know
Yes, and we encourage it. After twenty-five years and more than a thousand weddings, we know how long each part really takes, from getting ready to the first dance. We are glad to review your draft schedule and suggest small adjustments, so the day flows and the photography never feels squeezed.
Yes, we travel across Hertfordshire and the wider UK, and we would be glad to photograph your wedding in Ware. 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.
Look for a full gallery from real weddings rather than a few standout shots, a style that feels natural to you, and someone you warm to when you meet. Experience matters most on the day itself, when timings slip and the light changes. We have photographed more than a thousand weddings since 2001, so very little takes us by surprise.
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.
In more than twenty years we have never missed a wedding, but we take the risk seriously. We work within a trusted network of experienced professional photographers, so in a genuine emergency we can arrange skilled cover who shoots to our standard, and we still handle the editing of your images ourselves afterwards.
We offer professional prints, framed pieces and wall art produced by trusted UK labs, so the colour and quality match how the images look on screen. You can also print your own from the high-resolution files. If you want help choosing which frames suit a wall, we are happy to advise.
Yes, we ask for a booking fee when you confirm, which reserves your date in our diary and comes off your total balance. The remaining amount is then due a few weeks before the wedding. We will set everything out clearly in writing, so you always know exactly where you stand.
