…Kaushik's work is fantastic and he took so much stress out of our special day. He and his team are highly professional, fun and friendly and work with you to capture the shots that you want. He captured some amazing moments of both us and our guests, some natural, some posed but all truly wonderful. We were blown away by our albums and videos and have no hesitation in recommending him to our family and friends.
We had a great experience with our family photoshoot. The photographer made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, which really shows in the final photos. The images are natural, well-captured, and beautifully edited. We’re all really happy with the results and would highly recommend.
An amazing experience from start to finish. The photographer was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos perfectly captured genuine moments between us and turned out even better than we expected. Highly recommend for couples looking for high-quality photography.
What we photograph in Ickenham
Weddings, portraits, business and beyond
Ickenham is a village-like Hillingdon suburb. Our Northwood studio is where portraits and headshots happen, and everything else, from garden shoots to venue weddings, can take place across Ickenham, South Ruislip and Uxbridge. Maternity and newborn sittings need a calm, warm room and time, and the studio gives both, from the bump to the baby's first weeks.
At a christening or naming day we keep close enough to see the ceremony and far enough back never to interrupt it. Young families get unhurried sessions, from the bump to the first birthday, run at whatever pace the child sets. That covers anything from a multi-day Asian wedding to a small civil ceremony at Hillingdon Register Office in Uxbridge, where the Nova Room seats up to 20, and each is planned in the same detail.
We cover corporate away days, conferences and launch nights, along with branding sets and product ranges. For businesses around Swakeleys Road and in Uxbridge, that can mean product shots for an online shop, team headshots, founder branding or a corporate event.

Across Ickenham
Swakeleys Park, the village pump and two Tube lines
Each Ickenham shoot is planned around where it happens, whether that is Swakeleys Park, the village pond or your own home. Ickenham is a village-like Hillingdon suburb, and we work across Ruislip, Uxbridge and the surrounding Greater London.
Ickenham is a village-like Hillingdon suburb with a Victorian village pump of 1866 at its centre. It is served by Ickenham tube station on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines. For portraits away from the celebration, Swakeleys Park is one option, with Swakeleys House adding a real sense of place.
Before any shoot we talk through who will be there, the mood you want and the details that matter, so the day itself is not rushed. With small children we build in time for snacks, cuddles and breaks, so nobody feels hurried.

Photography in Ickenham, frequently asked questions
A week or two is often enough notice for a portrait, headshot or family session, though busy seasons fill up sooner. For a wedding or larger event, book many months out, as the popular Saturdays go first. A date that is close is still worth asking about, as we will fit you in if the diary allows.
Yes, and for Ickenham parents a maternity sitting leads easily into a newborn session a few weeks later, both at the studio about 3 miles away. Between about 30 and 34 weeks usually works best, when the bump shows well and you are still comfortable. The maternity sitting itself is held at the Northwood studio, a short drive from Ickenham, with gowns provided and gentle guidance into relaxed, flattering poses.
No, travel within Ickenham is not charged, as the village is about 3 miles from our Northwood studio. Only jobs much further from Northwood can carry a travel cost, and we tell you about it at the start. Any cost of that kind is written into your quote before you book.
Yes, dogs are welcome, and the studio is about 3 miles from Ickenham. Inside, the room is closed and quiet, which gives an anxious dog from Ickenham time to settle before we begin. A dog that prefers open ground could be photographed at Swakeleys Park instead, or on a lead at Ickenham Marsh, where cattle and sheep graze. Indoors or out, the dog sets the speed.
Yes, a pet can be photographed alone or with the family, at the studio or, with council permission, in a park such as Swakeleys Park. The animal sets the pace, and nobody expects a perfect sit in the first minute. Treats, a favourite toy and time are what bring an animal's character out.
Yes, either at the Northwood studio or on location at your offices, whether that is in Ickenham, Uxbridge or elsewhere in Greater London. Lighting and background stay identical from person to person, and we move people through quickly so the working day is barely disturbed. We note the setup, so anyone who joins later can be photographed to match.
Within the first fortnight is ideal, because newborns sleep deeply and curl easily into the classic poses. Older babies are welcome too; the session simply changes to suit their stage. Pencil in a date while you are expecting, then fix it once the baby is born.
