I had hired Mr Kaushik as our photographer for my son and daughters wedding fir all the ceremonies conducted and found him to be friendly professional with all the guests The quality of his photographs are excellent and are of high quality I was also very impressed when he had completed the albums He also give extra hours if needed and does not complain I would recommend to anyone
Great customer service and very professional. I booked a family photo session with him for a Sunday evening at 5pm however, got stuck in traffic and couldn't get to the studio until 5:45 pm. He was very patient and waited until we got to there. He was very good at making my daughter smile in all the pictures.
Really pleased with my photos. Kaushik is very professional and took lots of picture for us to choose from. Our shoot was comfortable and not too long. I would highly recommend him.
What we photograph in Harrow on the Hill
Weddings, families and business shoots around St Mary's and Harrow School
Harrow on the Hill is a historic hilltop village crowned by the medieval St Mary's Church and the buildings of Harrow School, founded in 1572. The studio in Northwood suits headshots and portraits, and for weddings and events we work at venues, churches and temples across West Harrow, Roxeth and Sudbury Hill. Engagements, weddings, maternity and newborn sessions, christenings and cake smashes are all part of what we offer families in Harrow on the Hill.
A family might start with a newborn session, return for a first birthday and later for a milestone group portrait, and we are glad to photograph each of those stages. At a christening, perhaps at St Mary's Church on the hilltop, we would stay close enough to catch the ceremony while keeping clear of the service itself. For an engagement shoot we would suggest the top of Harrow Hill, where St Mary's churchyard looks out towards Canary Wharf, the BT Tower and Wembley Stadium, and it is a relaxed way to get used to the camera before the wedding.
A single headshot and a full product catalogue get the same commercial standard; we simply scale the session to fit. For businesses we offer event coverage, headshots and product photography, bringing the same commercial eye to a small shop's range as to a boardroom portrait. Pets get the patience we give a nervous headshot client, and during the working week we also cover branding shoots, product work and corporate events, whether at your own premises or at a hired venue such as the Harrow School buildings on the hill.

Getting the camera to Harrow on the Hill
Studio portrait or hilltop wedding, Harrow on the Hill is well within reach of Northwood. Harrow on the Hill is a historic hilltop village crowned by the medieval St Mary's Church and the buildings of Harrow School, founded in 1572, and West Harrow and South Harrow are nearby towns we serve as well. Venues on and near the hill include Harrow School's Shepherd Churchill Hall and Speech Room, with Premier Banqueting London a short drive away in Wealdstone.
Harrow on the Hill grew up around St Mary's Church and Harrow School, which was founded in 1572 by John Lyon under a royal charter from Elizabeth I. Its lead-covered spire makes the church the highest building in Middlesex. Harrow-on-the-Hill station, served by the Metropolitan line and National Rail trains from Marylebone, lies at the foot of the hill. For portraits away from the celebration, St Mary's churchyard at the top of the hill is one option, with views towards central London.
From the first enquiry we take care of the arrangements, from timings to where to meet on the hill, so all you need to do is look forward to the shoot. Whether we meet in the studio or among the old buildings of the hill, we listen to what you want and adapt as we go, so the session feels natural rather than staged.
Why book us in Harrow on the Hill
What 25 years of practice means for your shoot
We carry backup cameras, lenses and memory cards to every booking, whether a studio sitting or a wedding in the grounds of Harrow School, because a day does not always go to plan. For families on the hill, home to Harrow, St Dominic's and John Lyon schools, that continuity can run from a wedding to newborn photographs and on to school-age portraits.
Harrow Hill and the streets around it are close to Northwood, and travel there for a location shoot is not charged. We photograph clients in and around Harrow on the Hill, travelling across West Harrow, Roxeth and Sudbury Hill whenever your shoot calls for it.
Canvases, prints and framed pieces come in a range of sizes, so your photographs end up on the wall rather than on a hard drive. Your edited online gallery of high resolution images follows a week or two after the shoot, and fine-art albums, prints and framing can all be ordered from the studio.

Good to know
Photography in Harrow on the Hill, frequently asked questions
Yes, a light retouch is part of every portrait from a Harrow on the Hill session. Temporary marks such as spots, redness or a stray hair are softened, and skin texture is left looking real. The goal is that you still look like you, just on a good day, rather than someone airbrushed smooth. If you would like more than that, ask and we can arrange fuller retouching.
Of course. Once your gallery is live, prints of a christening on the hilltop or a family group at Harrow Recreation Ground can be ordered in a range of sizes straight through us. We manage the printing ourselves, so the colour and detail match what you saw on screen. A favourite, say a view from St Mary's churchyard towards central London, can also be enlarged and framed ready to hang.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. When three generations rarely manage to be in one place, a session that brings them together is well worth arranging, and Harrow Recreation Ground, a Green Flag park reached from Harrow-on-the-Hill station, gives a large group room to spread out. Tell us how many are coming when you book, so we can allow the time and space a bigger group needs. Grandparents with grandchildren, siblings, each household: we work through every grouping you ask for.
Yes, each photograph is edited by hand before it reaches you. Exposure, colour and tone are balanced on every frame, with natural retouching only where it helps, so the result stays true to life. On headshots and portraits we can go a step further if you ask, and we are happy to talk through the finish you want.
Turnaround for a Harrow on the Hill booking varies with the type of session and how busy the season is. Headshots and portraits normally arrive within a couple of weeks; a wedding gallery is larger and edited with more care, so it takes a little longer. If you are working to a date, mention it when you book and we will do our best to meet it, keeping you updated along the way.
Yes, we produce professional headshots for individuals and teams, whether for LinkedIn, a company website, acting or personal branding, taken at the Northwood studio or on location in Harrow. In the studio, controlled lighting keeps every face consistent, which matters when a whole team needs to match on one website. We guide you on posture and expression as we go, so a session is quick and relaxed and leaves you with images you are happy to use.
Yes, we cover weddings across these traditions and plan each one around its own customs. We plan around the order of the mandap rituals, the nikah or the Anand Karaj and any multi-day programme, and photograph respectfully throughout. For a small ceremony at The Pavilion, Harrow Council's ceremony room at Perceval Square seating up to 50, or a full weekend of events, we plan the timeline with you. The individual wedding pages for Harrow on the Hill go into how coverage fits each tradition.
