I hired Kaushik for our wedding and I’m extremely glad I did!! Kaushik took amazing pictures and the quality of the pictures were amazing. Kaushik was very patient and was very helpful since the start. My family including our guest were constantly asking me who the photographer was as he gave the best service.
Fantastic photographer . Relaxed atmosphere and even made my young children laugh and look at the camera ( which they normally don’t do ) . Amazing results ! Would highly recommend.
Had such an amazing experience with Kaushik Bathia Photography 📸 The whole shoot felt super fun and comfortable, and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! Highly recommend if you want natural vibes and stunning shots.
What we photograph in West Hampstead
From weddings to headshots
West Hampstead is a leafy, cosmopolitan neighbourhood in the London Borough of Camden, known for its cafe-lined West End Lane and three adjoining railway stations. West Hampstead has places of worship of more than one tradition, including Emmanuel Church on the corner of Lyncroft Gardens, opened in 1903, and Hampstead Synagogue on Dennington Park Road, opened in 1892, and we shape wedding coverage around the rhythm of your own ceremony, civil or religious.
Commercial work covers everything from branding images for a start-up to headshots for a full team, made to help a business look credible. Conference and awards-night coverage is available for organisations, and headshots and personal branding for individuals, with images sized for websites, slides and print. For the independent shops, cafes and bakeries along West End Lane we can offer product photographs, team headshots and branding images, and pet portraits are available too.

What twenty-five years of practice brings to your booking
The business has been running since 2001, and preparing properly for every booking has been part of the job from the start. Headshots, family sittings, newborns and commercial jobs have sat alongside weddings for more than twenty-five years, so most briefs fall well within familiar ground.
West Hampstead, in fare zone 2, has Jubilee line, London Overground and Thameslink stations on West End Lane, with the tube station 100 m from the Overground and 200 m from West Hampstead Thameslink, which helps if guests are arriving by train.

An online gallery makes it simple to share the pictures with family, and the high-resolution files can be printed or framed however you like.

Good to know
Photography in West Hampstead, frequently asked questions
No, you receive an edited selection rather than everything from the memory card. Blinks, duplicates and frames where someone looked away are taken out, and the best images are finished properly.
A portrait, headshot or family session often needs only a week or two of notice, though the busier seasons fill faster. Wedding and large event dates are best booked many months ahead, since popular dates are taken early. A close date is still worth asking about, as we will fit you in if the diary allows.
Yes. It is quick to do, and we can explain the requirements for your particular document. Please ring ahead so we are set up when you arrive.
Yes. Each person needs only a few minutes in front of the lights, and we keep the framing and backdrop identical so the whole team matches. Give us the number of people and we will draw up a schedule for the session.
It depends on the session. A single portrait or headshot sitting ends in a tight edit of the strongest frames, while a full wedding day, from getting ready to the evening, runs to several hundred finished images. We would rather deliver fewer, better pictures than pad the gallery. Tell us whether it is a headshot for a West End Lane business or a full wedding day, and we will give you a rough image count when you enquire.
Each delivered image is edited by hand for colour, exposure and tone, so the whole set looks consistent. The editing stays natural, without heavy filters, so the pictures look like the day you remember. Any image picked for an album or a large print gets a further round of retouching.
