Kaushik was exceptional at creating our wedding photo album! He designed it so beautifully and his customer service was the best. The album quality and design is amazing, we loved it! Wow what a great job. Highly recommend for photo albums.
Not the first time we have used his services. Excellent with kids and achieves a perfect smile from them. Fantastic experience. Very pleased.
My daughter and her fiancé went to Kaushik for their photos, and we had a wonderful experience. He is incredibly friendly, patient, and helpful. He really took his time with them and captured beautiful, professional-quality photos. We highly recommend Kaushik Photography!
What we photograph in Chorleywood
Personal shoots and professional ones
Chorleywood is a village on the edge of the Chilterns. We are set up for studio portraits in Northwood and for on-location shoots at parks, homes, wedding venues and places of worship across Rickmansworth, Chenies and Sarratt. A family session could also use the Sunken Garden at Chorleywood House Estate or, between April and June, the Victorian iron wisteria circle, whose plants are more than 100 years old.
Graduations, milestone birthdays and family reunions can be photographed at the studio or outdoors, and for a larger group we would suggest Chorleywood House Estate, whose formal parkland and meadows run down to the River Chess. Some families want formal portraits in the studio and others a loose walk on Chorleywood Common, with its heathland, chalk meadow and seven ponds; either suits us, and we match the pace to your family. Alongside weddings we photograph engagement shoots, christenings and milestone birthdays, and an engagement session could be held on Chorleywood Common, a 75.6-hectare Local Nature Reserve in the Chilterns AONB.
Commercial bookings range from headshots and personal branding to corporate events, conferences and product photography, with pet portraits and studio print services as well. The village gave its name to the Chorleywood bread process, developed at a research facility here in the early 1960s, and for today's local firms we offer headshots, event coverage and product photography, plus restoration and passport or visa photos on request.

Photography in Chorleywood, frequently asked questions
From Northwood we cover Chorleywood, the rest of Three Rivers and a wide stretch of Hertfordshire and beyond for weddings, portraits and commercial work. We travel to homes, venues and offices across Three Rivers and beyond, and travel to Chorleywood is not charged. If you are not sure whether a particular address is within reach, ask when you enquire and we will confirm quickly.
Yes, dogs are welcome, and the studio is about 6 miles from Chorleywood by road. The studio is an enclosed, quiet room, which helps a nervous dog relax before we start. Dogs that prefer open ground can be photographed at Chorleywood House Estate instead, where dogs are welcome and there is free parking at the main entrance off the A404. Wherever we work, the dog sets the pace.
Plenty of animals are, and it rarely spoils a session. Before the camera comes out, your pet can sniff around and get used to us, and you stay close by the whole time. A quiet, unhurried approach settles most anxious animals, and we would sooner take an extra ten minutes than push one.
The Northwood studio also takes on print and image work. That covers framing, enlargements, restoration of damaged or faded photographs and official passport and visa photos. You can bring in an old photograph as easily as booking a shoot, and leave with something finished.
It means recording what actually happens rather than staging each frame. We watch, follow the natural run of your day or session, and let real expressions lead. The result looks like you, not a set of stiff poses.
Yes, we cover weddings in each of these traditions. Whether the day centres on a mandap, the nikah or several days of celebrations, we photograph it respectfully and without intruding. One event or a full weekend, the timeline is agreed with you in advance. Each tradition has its own Chorleywood wedding page, setting out how coverage is planned around it.
For a Chorleywood booking the price rests on the type of shoot, the hours involved and whether prints or an album follow, and travel from Northwood is not charged. A short portrait or headshot sitting is the simplest booking, while weddings and larger commercial jobs are quoted one by one. You receive an itemised quote in writing before anything is booked, and there is no pressure to go ahead.
