We hired Kaushik for our wedding. He was a fantastic photographer, very professional and great to work with. Kaushik was very flexible with timings, he was patient, and produced amazing photos! We received our photos really quickly and the quality of them are really nice!! His communication throughout was really good and understood what I wanted. My family were also very happy with Kaushik and the photos.
We had a fun and relaxing family photoshoot. Kaushik managed to make us all at ease and smile, especially our 1 yr old son. He was very efficient, professional and friendly. We viewed the beautiful images promptly, without any pressurised selling. Can't wait to receive the photos. Thanks for the great photoshoot!
Kaushik was a great help and took some great photos for my partner and I. I would highly recommend for all your photography needs.
What we photograph in Mill Hill
Whatever Mill Hill needs photographing
Mill Hill is a leafy suburb in the London Borough of Barnet known for its village conservation area. Book the studio in Northwood for portraits, or have us photograph your wedding, event or family session at a venue somewhere in Barnet, Edgware and Hendon. For Asian, Hindu, Sikh and Muslim weddings we plan around each family's own rituals and timings, and Hendon Town Hall on The Burroughs, a Grade II listed Barnet Council ceremony venue for up to 170, is one civil option nearby.
A wedding, a newborn session, a family reunion or a big birthday each gets the same attention. Maternity sessions, newborns, one-year-olds and grandparents meeting a new arrival are all part of our family work, and for an outdoor session we would suggest Mill Hill Park on Daws Lane, with its gardens, café and play areas. Weddings of any faith or none, engagements and family milestones make up the celebration side of the studio.
Our commercial work covers corporate events, conferences and staff headshots, along with product ranges for businesses that sell online. For businesses around Mill Hill Broadway or in the serviced offices at Churchill House on Bunns Lane, that could mean product photographs, team headshots, founder branding or event coverage. Whatever the brief, files are delivered ready for print, web and social media.

Across Mill Hill
From the Ridgeway to Mill Hill East
Bookings are welcome from anywhere in Mill Hill, from the old village along the Ridgeway, whose High Street is said to be the shortest in London, to Mill Hill Broadway and Mill Hill East. Mill Hill is a leafy suburb in the London Borough of Barnet known for its village conservation area, and our Northwood base keeps Finchley and North Finchley within easy reach.
Mill Hill retains a genuine village feel around The Ridgeway and Mill Hill Broadway, with period cottages, green open space and the historic Mill Hill School. Mill Hill Broadway station is served by Thameslink, and Mill Hill East is on the Northern line. When there is time for couple portraits, we can head to Arrandene Open Space, with Mill Hill School and its Grade II listed buildings for a memorable setting.
People photograph best when relaxed, so every session begins with a few minutes of conversation. We follow your lead, adjusting as the session goes so the pictures look natural rather than posed.
Why book us in Mill Hill
The difference practice makes
Having one photographer for your wedding, your family portraits and a work headshot saves explaining yourself three times, and that breadth is how the studio has always worked. Twenty five years of weddings and portraits means you are relying on long-tested judgement rather than a first attempt.
Mill Hill is about 8 miles from our Northwood studio, and travel within that distance is not charged.
Faded or damaged photographs can also be restored at the studio and reprinted, ready to frame or pass around the family. Your edited online gallery of high resolution images follows a week or two after the shoot, and albums, prints and framing are all available from the studio.

Good to know
Photography in Mill Hill, frequently asked questions
Yes, and newborn sessions are among the most careful work we do. The studio is kept warm and quiet, and the session fits around feeds and naps, so nobody is rushed. The pictures dwell on tiny hands, feet and closeness, and parents and brothers or sisters can join in, so the set becomes a record of the whole Mill Hill household.
Book a few weeks ahead and we can agree the colours and theme together. Timing the session close to the birthday itself usually works best, while your child sits up confidently but is still endlessly curious. Adding a maternity or newborn session means the whole first year can be planned as one.
We certainly do. Pet sessions are built around your animal's temperament, in the studio or outdoors, and near Mill Hill we would suggest Moat Mount and Scratchwood, the largest area of woodland in Barnet, with ancient oak and hornbeam. We work at the animal's pace, patiently, and the open fields of Arrandene Open Space off Wise Lane give a dog plenty of room. You are welcome to be in the pictures with them.
Almost any kind of shoot in Mill Hill can be booked with one photographer through the Northwood studio. That includes weddings, family and newborn sessions, headshots, portraits, pets, and commercial or event photography. Framing, enlargement, photo restoration and passport and visa photos are handled at the studio too, so most jobs need only one visit.
Most sessions come with high-resolution digital files that you are free to keep, share and print. The exact contents depend on the package, and prints, albums and framing are usually extras. All of this is written into your quote before you book, so there are no surprises.
Of course. When the gallery is ready, prints in a range of sizes can be ordered directly from the studio. We print to a high standard ourselves, so the colour and detail match what you chose on screen. Favourites can be enlarged and framed as well, ready for the wall at home.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Sessions with three or four generations are especially worth doing when the whole family rarely meets. Tell us how many are coming when you book, so we can allow the time and space. Every grouping you want, from grandparents alone to all the cousins together, gets its turn.
