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!

What we photograph in Rickmansworth

All the ways we can help in Rickmansworth

Rickmansworth is a Three Rivers town. We are set up for studio portraits in Northwood and for on location shoots at parks, wedding venues, churches and temples across Chorleywood, Croxley Green and Northwood. You might book us for a wedding, a newborn shoot, a family reunion or a milestone birthday, and we bring the same care to each of them.

Families come to us for newborn sessions, then again for first birthdays, then for the group portrait at a milestone gathering, and we are glad to grow with you. A cake smash is messy, loud and over in minutes, so it takes place at the Northwood studio, set up and ready, and your one year old leads the session. A classic white wedding and a vibrant Asian celebration ask different things of a photographer, and we bring the experience to handle both without missing a beat.

Pet portraits, professional headshots, branding shoots and corporate event coverage all feature in our commercial diary, each handled with a calm, prepared approach. Headshots for Rickmansworth sit alongside acting portfolios, LinkedIn portraits and staff photos, and we shoot them to flatter the person while meeting whatever the role or platform needs. A good headshot opens doors, so we take time over the professional and acting portraits we make, and we cover corporate events and product shoots with the same care.

Across Rickmansworth

Local to Rickmansworth and easy to reach

There is plenty we love about photographing Rickmansworth. Rickmansworth is a Three Rivers town, and from Northwood we also cover Mill End and Croxley Green. Rickmansworth and the towns around it offer venues such as Watersmeet, The Fairway Inn, Rickmansworth Golf Course and Moor Park Golf Club.

Rickmansworth is a Three Rivers town in Hertfordshire, set where the rivers Chess, Gade and Colne meet north west of London. Rickmansworth station is an interchange served by the London Underground Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways. For portraits away from the celebration, Rickmansworth Aquadrome is one option, with The Aquadrome adding a real sense of place.

Planning stays relaxed from the outset. You share what you have in mind, we offer a little guidance, and together we settle on the right approach. We like to talk things through before the camera comes out, so you arrive knowing what to expect and can settle in without any rush.

Why book us in Rickmansworth

Twenty five years behind the camera

With 25+ years behind the camera, we bring the same calm, prepared eye to a boardroom headshot as to a wedding. Five European Kodak Gold Awards, a permanent Northwood studio and a quarter of a century of shoots mean you are choosing a photographer with a track record rather than a portfolio and a promise.

We are based in Northwood, close to Rickmansworth, and happily cover on location work across Chorleywood, Croxley Green and Northwood. We come to Rickmansworth for on location work and photograph clients throughout Chorleywood, Croxley Green and Northwood without any fuss.

Old and damaged photographs can be restored too, carefully repaired and reprinted so treasured pictures are ready to share and display once more. We take care over the finishing, retouching each chosen frame by hand and preparing files that look their best on screen and in print.

Good to know

Photography in Rickmansworth, frequently asked questions

A local photographer knows the light, the venues, and the character of Rickmansworth and Hertfordshire, which helps a shoot run smoothly. You also get a real person to meet, plan with, and return to for prints, albums, or future sessions. With our studio in Northwood, we combine careful planning with award-winning experience.

We do, and they are one of our most loved bookings. Family sessions can happen at our studio or somewhere meaningful to you around Rickmansworth, and we keep things easy and unhurried so everyone relaxes, children included. The aim is warm, genuine portraits you will want on the wall, marking exactly how your family looks and feels right now.

Yes, dogs are welcome in the studio, and we are only a short drive from Rickmansworth. The space is enclosed and calm, which helps nervous animals settle before we begin. If your dog prefers the outdoors, we can shoot in a nearby park instead. Either way, we work at a speed that suits them.

We do, in our controlled studio setting where lighting and background stay consistent shot to shot. Product photography suits online shops, catalogues, and marketing, and we can shoot on clean white or styled to match your brand. Bring us the items and a sense of how you will use the images, and we will produce crisp, accurate results.

Getting started is simple. Call us on 07956 505383, or send a message through the website, and tell us roughly what you have in mind and your preferred dates. We will suggest a suitable session, confirm the details, and hold your slot with a small deposit. From there we plan the shoot together so nothing feels rushed.

Keep it low key and positive. Aim for a session after a nap and a snack, so nobody is tired or hungry, and avoid building it up as a big event. Bring a favourite toy or comforter if it helps, and let us do the coaxing. Relaxed parents usually mean relaxed children on the day.

Turnaround varies with the type of shoot and the season. Portraits and headshots are usually ready within a couple of weeks, while weddings, with their larger galleries and careful editing, take a little longer. If you have a specific deadline, tell us when booking and we will do our best to work around it and keep you updated.
