…Kaushik is incredibly talented, artistic, and truly gifted with a photographer’s vision. He knows exactly what he wants each frame to look like and how to get the best out of his subjects. Honestly, there were moments during the shoot when I’d wonder, “What is he making me do?” – but when I saw the final shots, I was blown away. Every image looked beautiful, intentional, and natural.

Kaushik Has magical touches!! We did a family session and were surprised that we could not find any flaw with circa 200 pictures taken by Kaushik. Kausik is simply amazing , we highly recommend to give job to Kaushik to capture special moments of life !! Well done Kaushik!!

What we photograph in Gerrards Cross

From christenings to company profiles

The studio in Northwood suits headshots and portraits, and for weddings and events we can come to venues, churches and other places of worship in Gerrards Cross and in nearby Beaconsfield, Chalfont St Peter and Denham. For a wedding in the town itself, Buckinghamshire Council lists The Bull Hotel among its ceremony venues, and its largest room, the Thames Suite, takes 175.

Maternity and newborn sittings are usually best in the warm Northwood studio, while toddlers often do better outdoors, and either way the youngest sets the pace. A graduation, a big birthday or a family reunion deserves a proper portrait, and we would agree beforehand whether to take it at home, on the Common or in the studio. Engagement shoots, christenings and cake smashes are arranged the same way, with the date, place and running order confirmed in writing.

For businesses in and around SL9 we can photograph one person, a whole team or a product range, on your premises or in Northwood. Anyone commuting on the Chiltern Railways line into London Marylebone can book a Saturday or Sunday studio slot for a LinkedIn or company headshot, so it need not cost a day off. Whatever the job, we agree the shot list in advance and hand over files sized for both web and print.

Across Gerrards Cross

Your corner of Buckinghamshire covered

Gerrards Cross, a town since 2016, sits in the SL9 postcode district and comes under Buckinghamshire Council. Gerrards Cross is an affluent Bucks town with grand venues, and Chalfont St Peter and Denham sit close by across Buckinghamshire. Wedding venues in and around the town include The Bull Hotel and Colston Hall, with the Crowne Plaza Gerrards Cross just outside it on a Beaconsfield (HP9) address.

Gerrards Cross is an affluent commuter town in south Buckinghamshire that grew rapidly after its railway station opened in 1906. Gerrards Cross station sits on the Chiltern Main Line with services to London Marylebone. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, Gerrards Cross Common is one option, and St James' Church on Oxford Road, a Grade II* listed building of 1859 with an octagonal dome, makes a striking backdrop.

Before any session here we settle the meeting point, the start time and a short list of must-have pictures, so the hour itself feels relaxed. The studio opens seven days a week, and location sessions are timed around school runs, commutes and the occasion itself.

Good to know

Photography in Gerrards Cross, frequently asked questions

Yes, for individuals and whole teams, whether the picture is for LinkedIn, a company website, an acting profile or your own brand. In the studio the lighting stays identical from one person to the next, so a team photographed over several visits still matches. We coach posture and expression as we go, and the sitting itself is short.

Yes, and it is one of the parts of the work we enjoy most. Each book is laid out to follow the order of your day or session and then finished by hand to last. We help you choose the pictures so the pages read in sequence. A printed book is also the copy most likely to still be looked at in twenty years.

We can, at home, outdoors or in the studio. Gerrards Cross Common runs through the town, with Latchmoor Pond at its western end, and Black Park Country Park at Wexham adds open water, pine and heathland; wherever we meet, we keep the pace easy so children relax. What you end up with is a set of natural pictures of your family as it is this year.

We certainly do. Every pet session is shaped around the animal, in the studio or outdoors, wherever it is calmest. We go at your pet's speed, with a break whenever it needs one. You are welcome in some of the pictures as well.

Dogs are welcome, and the studio is about 6 miles from Gerrards Cross by road. It is an enclosed room, so a nervous dog can sniff around and settle before we start. For an outdoor session Black Park is an option; Buckinghamshire Council welcomes dogs in its country parks but keeps them out of livestock areas, fenced heathland and play areas. Indoors or out, the dog decides how fast we go.

Both. The studio at 21 Joel St gives controlled light for headshots, newborns, portraits and product work, so rain over SL9 does not change the result. When somewhere real suits you better, we come to your home, your venue or open ground such as Gerrards Cross Common. One booking can include both.

In the studio the choice is white, grey or black, which sit well on most company pages and on LinkedIn. On location we can soften an office interior or an outdoor setting behind you instead. If your firm already has headshots, we match their look so new faces sit comfortably alongside them.
