The short answer
An award winning, London based wedding photographer, Kaushik Bathia has spent more than twenty five years photographing weddings, and travels to Wrexham and right across North Wales. Rather than directing every scene, we let your day breathe and photograph it as it happens, stepping in gently only when a group shot needs a little order. Whatever your wedding looks like in Wrexham, 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. Steadiness under pressure is earned, not claimed, and a thousand weddings of practice is why we stay calm when a moment arrives only once. Engagement shoots, a second photographer for busier days and beautiful fine art albums are all part of what we offer, and we travel throughout North Wales and the rest of the UK for your wedding.
Football history gives this North Wales city an unusual wedding backdrop in the Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham AFC, the world's oldest international football stadium still in use and the setting for Wales' first home international in 1877. Wrexham General railway station is around a ten minute walk away, so guests arriving by train can reach it without transport being arranged. Erddig Hall, a National Trust estate with extensive grounds a short distance from the city centre, is the greener option for couple portraits and large family groups. Soughton Hall, Iscoyd Park, Rossett Hall and Brynkinalt Hall are country house settings where the grounds do most of the work and the last hour of light is worth protecting in the timeline. Rhostyllen, Marchwiel and Coedpoeth are within the same radius.
Serving Wrexham
Wrexham is a North Wales city with country venues. We know the country houses, hotels, register offices and village churches of North Wales well, and we photograph weddings throughout Rhosllanerchrugog, Gresford and Chirk. In Wrexham or anywhere else, we have photographed ceremonies of every kind, and that experience means we anticipate each moment rather than chase it.
We photograph in a documentary way, recording the day as a story from the morning preparations through to the last dance, with as little interference as possible. We keep direction to a minimum, offering just enough for you to feel at ease in front of the lens while the honesty of the moment stays intact. A small number of frames get made deliberately: the two of you, in good light, looking at the camera. Ten minutes covers it, and those are the ones parents ask to print.
We have photographed many weddings in and around Wrexham. Wrexham is a North Wales city with country venues, and couples from nearby Chester and Liverpool often ask us to cover their day here too. Around Wrexham we are glad to photograph at Soughton Hall, Iscoyd Park and Rossett Hall, among others.
Wrexham is a North Wales city known for Wrexham AFC and its Racecourse Ground, the world's oldest international football stadium still in use. Wrexham General railway station is around a ten minute walk from the Racecourse Ground. We often take couples to Erddig Hall, a National Trust estate with extensive grounds a short distance from the city centre for a few quiet portraits, and The Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham AFC, which hosted Wales' first home international in 1877 is a lovely backdrop nearby.

What we offer
A relaxed pre-wedding shoot lets us get to know each other and helps you feel at ease in front of the camera.
We stay from morning preparations through to the evening party, so every part of your day is photographed as it happens.
We watch both the speaker and the table, so the laughter, the pauses and the quiet tears are all held.
Every kind of wedding
Ceremonies rarely run to the second, so we stay alert throughout, ready for the moments that arrive early, run long or happen when least expected. Confetti immediately after a church service works better than an hour later, because the guests are already assembled and nobody has drifted towards the bar yet. 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.
We set aside a little time for portraits, walking with you somewhere quiet for a handful of relaxed frames that still feel like you. 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. Ten minutes outside during the golden hour, shortly after the main course, produces the best couple portraits of most summer weddings. We will come and find you.

The whole celebration
Arriving while hair is still being finished gives us the calm frames, the letters and the flowers, all of which disappear once the dress comes out and everyone speeds up. Bridesmaids getting dressed, a father pacing downstairs and a grandmother arriving early are all part of the morning, and covering the whole house beats covering one room thoroughly.
Our meal break is when cards are backed up and batteries changed, and being fed at the same time as your guests means we are ready when the speeches begin. By staying with you from start to finish, we can show the day building, so the energy on the dance floor clearly comes from somewhere.
Why choose us
Over twenty-five years the biggest change in wedding photography has been guest phones, and the practical answer is to be closer than they are and to shoot slightly before they do. Five European Gold awards are pleasant to hold, though the practical value is that panel judging forces you to look hard at your own weakest frames every single year.
Wherever the celebration takes you, we come along, covering venues throughout Rhosllanerchrugog, Gresford and Chirk and right across North Wales without a fuss. We map out the driving and parking in advance for every wedding, so reaching venues around Rhosllanerchrugog, Gresford and Chirk and across North Wales is smooth on the day.

Where we travel
Multi-location days, with a ceremony in one place and a reception in another, are something we plan carefully, whether that is within Rhosllanerchrugog, Gresford and Chirk or across North Wales. Travel time is built into the coverage plan rather than sitting outside it, so a North Wales venue with a separate ceremony church does not quietly cost you your group photographs.

Good to know
If it can be arranged, the softer late-afternoon light, golden hour especially, is our first choice, as it flatters skin and brings warmth to the images. We ask for just fifteen to twenty minutes, and it is easy to divide into two short bursts. Show us your timings and the season, and we will recommend the ideal slot. Wrexham landmarks we photograph near include The Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham AFC, which hosted Wales' first home international in 1877.
Almost certainly, yes. From country houses and barns to hotels, register offices and places of worship in and around Wrexham, there are very few settings we have not worked in. If your venue is new to us, we study the space beforehand and, wherever we can, visit or arrive early to read the light and plan the important frames.
We know a wedding brings many costs together at the same time, so we are glad to arrange a simple payment plan. Most couples pay the booking fee up front, then settle the balance in a couple of instalments before the day. Just let us know what works for you and we will do our best to help. We cover Wrexham and nearby Rhostyllen, Marchwiel and Coedpoeth.
The bulk of our Wrexham coverage is candid, capturing the day as it genuinely unfolds with no staging involved. The one exception is the group shots and a relaxed couple portrait session, where a touch of gentle guidance is useful. We keep even those natural, so the pictures reflect the real you and never feel like a rigid studio set-up.
Yes, and we genuinely recommend one. A laid-back pre-wedding shoot gives us a chance to get to know one another, helps you grow comfortable in front of the camera and tends to settle any nerves before the big day. You also walk away with lovely images for save-the-dates or a guest sign-in book. Venues we cover near Wrexham include Soughton Hall, Iscoyd Park and Rossett Hall.
Natural, always. Our goal is a classic finish that ages gracefully and will look just as good in twenty years, so fashionable filters and extreme grades have no place in our edit. We keep skin tones realistic and whites crisp, and we hold that same treatment across every frame, so nothing jars as you scroll through. Wrexham is easy to reach: Wrexham General railway station is around a ten minute walk from the Racecourse Ground.
Look beyond the standout images to see whole galleries from actual weddings, find a style that feels honest to you, and meet the person to check you get on. When the day arrives and plans wobble or the light turns, experience is what carries it. Since 2001 we have photographed well over a thousand weddings, so very little throws us. Outdoors in Wrexham we like Erddig Hall, a National Trust estate with extensive grounds a short distance from the city centre.
