Photographer in Queen's Park

One lighting setup and one background keep the whole team consistent, and people move through quickly so the working day carries on. When new people join, we can repeat the same setup so their headshots match the rest.

Usually timed around a first birthday, a cake smash lets your little one tuck into a cake while we photograph the happy mess. A bright backdrop goes up and your child explores it in their own time. Pack spare clothes and expect sticky hands and lots of laughter.

It depends on the session. A headshot or portrait sitting gives you a tight selection of the strongest frames, whereas a full wedding day runs to several hundred edited images. Rather than sending every frame, we choose and finish the ones genuinely worth keeping. When you enquire we will tell you honestly how many to expect for your booking.

Pets are welcome, either on their own or as part of a family portrait. We let your animal set the pace, so nobody is chasing a perfect sit in the first minute, and in Queen's Park itself the byelaws ask for dogs to be kept under proper control and out of the children's areas and flower gardens. Treats, toys and patience do most of the work in bringing a pet's character out.

Prints that are faded, torn, creased or water-damaged are repaired digitally, bringing the picture back while keeping it faithful to the original. Bring the original to 21 Joel St in Northwood, and we will tell you plainly how much of it can be recovered.

Absolutely. Weddings are at the heart of what we do, and for a civil ceremony Brent Register Office has a ceremony suite at Brent Civic Centre, 32 Engineers Way, Wembley, holding up to 100 guests on the ground floor with floor-to-ceiling daylight. Coverage runs from morning preparations to the evening in a relaxed, documentary way, and couple portraits could be taken by the 1891 cast-iron bandstand in Queen's Park once the City of London Corporation has agreed to the photography. Our wedding pages for the area set out coverage, timings and albums for couples marrying in or near Queen's Park.

Yes, conferences, awards evenings, milestone parties and other celebrations are all covered. We keep to the background, catching the speeches, the details and the conversations between guests without breaking into them. If a few frames from an NW6 launch or party are wanted quickly for press or social media, say so beforehand and those go to the front of the editing queue.
