The short answer
Kaushik Bathia is an award winning wedding photographer based in London, photographing weddings in Windsor and throughout Berkshire for over twenty five years and more than a thousand celebrations. We keep a low profile through the ceremony and speeches, using longer lenses from a distance so nobody feels watched and the real reactions come through. Whatever your wedding looks like in Windsor, 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. Our long track record means references are easy to come by and albums easy to show, so you can see exactly the standard your day will be photographed to. 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.
Serving Windsor
Windsor is a royal town with castle-side and country-house venues. We spend our weekends in churches, register offices, country houses and marquees alike, covering the length and breadth of Berkshire and the towns surrounding Slough, Maidenhead and Ascot. Some couples marry quietly with a handful of witnesses and others before a full congregation, and we adapt our approach so the coverage suits the scale of your ceremony.
You will barely notice us for much of the day, and that is the point; the less we intrude, the more relaxed everyone stays in front of the lens. We work in available light wherever we can, adding a soft flash only when a dark room needs it, so the images stay true to how the evening looked. Our style is documentary at heart; we watch for the glances, the laughter and the quiet pauses, then let those moments become the story of your day.
Windsor is a place we return to often for weddings. As a royal town with castle-side and country-house venues, it offers plenty of character, and we photograph couples here as well as across nearby Bracknell and Wokingham. Venues we know well in and near Windsor include The Castle Hotel Windsor, Oakley Court and Monkey Island Estate.
Windsor is a historic royal town best known as the home of Windsor Castle, the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and an official residence of the British monarch. Windsor has two stations, Windsor and Eton Riverside with direct trains from London Waterloo, and Windsor and Eton Central linking to Slough on the Great Western line. For relaxed couple photographs, we like The Long Walk and Windsor Great Park, and Windsor Castle gives the day a strong sense of Windsor.

What we offer
We photograph the day as it unfolds, watching for real moments rather than staging them, so your gallery feels honest.
Our coverage options are set out plainly, so you can see what you are choosing without chasing hidden extras.
From grand country houses to village halls and city hotels, we read the light and space of wherever you marry.
Every kind of wedding
Whether you marry in a country house, a chapel or a city hall, we photograph the ceremony with restraint, letting the day speak for itself. Church, courtyard, clifftop or town hall, wherever you choose to make your promises, we frame the reactions on both sides and the quiet glance you share halfway through. Our approach to the ceremony is simple: watch closely, stay out of the way and record the promises exactly as you make them.
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. From the buttonholes being pinned to the sparklers at the door, we follow the surrounding events of the day and treat each one as part of the same story. We give the reception room its due before your guests arrive, photographing the flowers, the place settings and the details you spent months choosing.

The whole celebration
The hour before you leave for the ceremony tends to hold the details worth keeping, the dress on its hanger, the shoes, the notes passed between rooms. We tend to arrive while the flowers are still being set out, so the first frames show the day before anyone has touched it.
We stay light on our feet through the whole day, moving with the celebration rather than pulling it towards us for a picture. We pace ourselves to the day, not the shot list, so the finished gallery moves naturally from the morning through to the party.
Why choose us
We know the shape of a wedding day well enough to keep the formal pictures short and the day on track, so you get back to your guests quickly. Over a thousand couples have trusted us with their wedding, and that depth of experience is why we stay composed when the timing tightens or the weather turns.
The driving is ours to worry about, not yours, and we think nothing of a longer run to reach a venue in Berkshire. Long journeys and remote settings suit us well, and weddings across Slough, Maidenhead and Ascot and the further reaches of Berkshire are all within easy reach.

Where we travel
We check the route, the timings and the parking in advance for every booking, which keeps the trip to your venue in Slough, Maidenhead and Ascot or across Berkshire calm on the day. Whether your day stays close to Slough, Maidenhead and Ascot or spreads across Berkshire, we plan the logistics so the coverage flows without gaps.

Good to know
Absolutely. Our style is largely documentary, so we tell the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, without lots of stiff posing. We will still gather the handful of family groups you would like, then step back and let the day breathe. You should feel present at your own wedding, not managed through it.
Many couples find it does. A relaxed pre-wedding session lets you get used to how we work and how you look in your photos, with no pressure and no audience. It also gives us images for save-the-dates or guest books. By your wedding day, being photographed feels natural rather than new.
Yes, and we recommend them. A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and often calms any nerves about the wedding day itself. You also come away with lovely images you can use for save-the-dates or a guest sign-in book.
Nerves are completely normal, and nearly every couple feels the same at first. Because we work mainly in a documentary way, most of the day asks nothing of you, so you soon forget we are there. An engagement shoot beforehand is a gentle way to practise, and by the wedding the camera feels far more familiar.
It depends on your plans, but as a guide we suggest around thirty minutes for family groups, twenty for couple portraits and a little breathing room after the ceremony. We would rather you enjoy the day than rush between set-ups, so we build the schedule to feel relaxed. We will talk this through with you.
Yes. We photograph weddings right across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, and further afield throughout the UK. Wherever your ceremony and reception are, and whether they share a venue or sit miles apart, we plan the logistics with you in advance so the timeline holds and no coverage is lost travelling between them.
Our approach is mainly documentary, watching the day unfold and catching real moments as they happen. We balance that with a short set of relaxed portraits of the two of you and efficient family groups. The aim is a natural, honest record of your day that still includes the timeless portraits you will want to frame.
