Kaushik photographed out wedding on september last year. He was so professional and was great with everyone making them laugh before taking all the snaps. We really couldn't have asked for more he worked hard all day to get the best pictures. We are very pleased with all the pictures and love the photo album. We will differently be using you again in the future Thank you!

Beautiful family photos, everyone was made to feel comfortable and relaxed so we got lovely photos with everyone smiling and happy. Photographs are beautiful. Thank you!

Monica B., Google review, 2020

Kaushik has been absolutely fantastic!! I called him to book for a photoshoot session for my parents anniversary, last minute with just one day in advance. he was super responsive and was able to accommodate. He was also understanding when they were running late. Even more impressive is that he put my parents at ease and was able to get great shots, its their first photoshoot and it turned out great!

What we photograph in Merton

Weddings, family, portraits and business work in Merton

Merton is a south-west London borough, home to Wimbledon. Engagement shoots, maternity and newborn sessions and christenings can all be photographed at a Merton home.

For a first birthday cake smash we are set up before the cake comes out, because the best of it is over in minutes and your one year old sets the pace. Some families want a formal set of portraits, others a loose walk through Morden Hall Park, where the River Wandle splits into channels crossed by footbridges; either works, and we match the pace to you. Graduations, christenings and big birthdays get the same treatment: a relaxed session with time to talk, not a line of set poses.

Wimbledon is the largest of Merton's commercial centres, with its own Business Improvement District, Love Wimbledon, and for companies there we photograph conferences, awards nights, headshots and personal branding.

Across Merton

From Northwood to Merton

Sessions can be held anywhere in the borough, from Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon to Raynes Park and Wimbledon Park. Merton is a south-west London borough, home to Wimbledon, and on location we also cover Tooting and Wandsworth. Venues we cover in and near Merton include Cannizaro House, Morden Hall and Morden Park House.

Merton is a south-west London borough, home to Wimbledon and its world-famous tennis championships. It is served by Wimbledon station on South Western Railway, the District line and Tramlink, plus the Morden terminus of the Northern line. When there is time for couple portraits, we can head to Wimbledon Common, with The All England Lawn Tennis Club at Wimbledon for a memorable setting.

Planning normally takes one short phone call. We work out the practical details, such as whether Wimbledon or Morden station is closer for your guests, so the day itself is easy. You are never left guessing. Before the day we agree timings, the meeting point and what to bring, and leave room to adapt once we are there.

Why book us in Merton

On location in Merton

Trading since 2001 from a permanent business, with five European Kodak Gold Awards along the way, we are easy to find again when the next occasion comes round. Because the same photographer covers weddings, newborns, family portraits, headshots, commercial work and pets, you can come back years later to someone who already knows your family.

We photograph clients in and around Merton, travelling across Wandsworth and Sutton whenever your shoot calls for it. Merton is about 16 miles from Northwood, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book.

You look through the gallery online, mark the pictures you love, and we handle prints, frames and albums from there.

Good to know

Photography in Merton, frequently asked questions

Absolutely. We would cover the day from morning preparations to the evening, in a relaxed documentary way, including the courtyard at Morden Park House if that is where you marry. If you are marrying in the borough, at Morden Hall, Cannizaro House or elsewhere, our Merton wedding pages go through coverage, timings and albums in detail.

Yes, and family sessions are among the bookings we enjoy most. We can meet at your home, at Cannizaro Park with its ponds, sculpture and rhododendron and azalea plantings, and the session runs at a pace that suits the children. What you should come away with is a set of honest, warm pictures of your family as it is this year, worth framing.

In practice that means weddings, newborns and families, portraits, headshots, pets and commercial or event work.

From the first phone call to the finished print, you deal with Kaushik rather than a rota of staff. Before a Merton shoot we look into the location in advance, whether that is Morden Hall Park, Cannizaro Park or a venue in Wimbledon Village, and you can reach us easily with questions.

Group combinations are listed before the day, so nobody is left hanging about. The whole family goes first, then smaller pairings such as grandparents with grandchildren, which keeps the energy up. These are often timed for when relatives are staying, and Morden Hall Park, reached from Morden tube station or Phipps Bridge tram stop, is one open setting with space for a large group.

Pick clothes everyone is comfortable in that go together without being identical. Plain, muted colours work well; loud logos and busy prints draw the eye away from faces. If we are out on Wimbledon Common, which is mostly open land, dress for the weather as well as for the photographs. Torn between outfits? Send us a photo of the choices before the day and we will help you decide.
