Thank you for capturing our special day so well and creating beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. We love our stunning wedding album! You took the time to get to know us from the pre-shoot right up until the wedding day and made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and we had a lot of fun along the way especially with your silly little jokes to get us to laugh!
Fantastic service, Kaushik captured some amazing shots of our family. He is patient, professional, friendly and creative which really helps when trying to get pictures with young children. You never feel rushed and the final product will be something we cherish for years to come. This was our second time with Kaushik and we will be going back again. We have no hesitation in recommending him. Thank you Kaushik!
We were a little nervous as it was our first photo shoot but Kaushik was very friendly and quickly had our nerves calmed with his charming personality. A great all round experience and we have some fab professional photos that we are very happy with. Highly recommended, 5 Stars :)

Good to know
Photography in Richmond upon Thames, frequently asked questions
It is a blend. Mostly we step back and let things happen, photographing quietly so you hardly notice. If a moment needs shaping, a quiet prompt does it rather than a stiff pose. The result is relaxed but still considered.
Yes, and they are among the sessions we most enjoy. A family session could be in Northwood or somewhere in the borough, such as Richmond Green or Terrace Gardens on Richmond Hill, and we keep the pace easy for children. The aim is relaxed portraits that show your family as it is now.
Yes, business events across the borough, from Twickenham to Richmond town centre, sit alongside our portrait and wedding work. Conferences, awards evenings and launches are covered discreetly, with speakers, guests and atmosphere all recorded. The edited set is ready for internal use, press and social media, and is usually turned round quickly enough to share while the event is still news.
A voucher can be for a set amount or a particular session, and it comes presented as a gift.
Plain, well-cut clothes in colours that suit your profession work best, whichever Richmond office or practice the headshots are for. For LinkedIn and business portraits a shirt, with or without a jacket, is usually right; strong patterns and logos are best left at home. Press your shirt the night before and bring a second one. On the day we will help straighten collars and ties.
Yes, each image is edited by hand. Exposure, colour and tone are corrected, with natural retouching only where it helps, so the result stays true to life. Headshots and portraits can be refined a little further if you ask, and we will talk through the finish you prefer.
