We were delighted with Kaushik being our wedding photographer. He was organised and professional and kept everything stress free. He took some great photos and produced a memorable wedding album. Highly recommended.
…With 5 children aged between 2 and 7, the youngest of whom had just been woken up when we arrived and subsequently mainly wanted Mummy cuddles, it was very lucky for us that he was also very personable, and good at getting the little ones (and adults!) to smile/laugh naturally while looking at the camera!
I had a photoshoot recently and it was such a great experience. Everyone was lovely and made us comfortable. The pictures looks great as well I am very pleased. I will definitely come back when the opportunity arises again,
What we photograph in Stanmore
Portraits, events and weddings across Stanmore and HA7
Stanmore is a leafy north-west London suburb close to grand venues. Our Northwood studio handles portraits and headshots, while for everything else we come to you across Greater London, shooting in homes, gardens and workplaces around Edgware, Harrow Weald and Belmont. A graduation, a christening or a fiftieth birthday can be marked with an unhurried session, at the studio or outdoors on the meadows of Bentley Priory open space.
Christenings and naming days, at home in HA7 or in a church or hall nearby, get the same quiet treatment, close enough to catch the ceremony and never in its way. A family might want formal groups in the walled King George V Memorial Garden at Canons Park or a looser walk across the meadows of Stanmore Country Park, and either can be arranged. Proposals, engagements, milestone birthdays and anniversaries get the same steady attention, whether they happen at home or at a venue such as the Grim's Dyke Hotel in Harrow Weald.
Business work covers personal branding, LinkedIn and acting headshots, corporate events and product shoots, and pet portraits come from the same studio. For a business on The Broadway, where the Automobile Association built its regional offices in the 1950s, or a start-up run from home, the aim is pictures that make the company and its people look credible.

Across Stanmore
A studio near Stanmore
Stanmore is in the London Borough of Harrow, in the HA7 postcode district. Stanmore is a leafy north-west London suburb close to grand venues, and neighbouring Edgware and Harrow Weald are well within our reach. Venues we cover near Stanmore include The Hive London.
Stanmore is a leafy suburb in the London Borough of Harrow with several nature reserves and open spaces. Stanmore station is the northern terminus of the Jubilee line. We can take couples to Stanmore Country Park for a few quiet portraits, with Bentley Priory as a lovely backdrop nearby.
After booking we keep in touch, so the plan is settled well before the day. Timings bend around nap times, shifts and school runs, and for an outdoor session among Stanmore's woodland we would usually suggest morning or late afternoon light.
Why book us in Stanmore
Experience Stanmore can rely on
Weddings, portraits, families, newborns, headshots, commercial and pet work all come from one studio, established in 2001 and now more than 25 years old. Spare cameras, an early arrival and a calm response to the unexpected matter as much as the pictures, particularly on a wedding day that moves between a family home in HA7 and a venue.
We photograph clients in Stanmore and cover the surrounding towns across Edgware, Harrow Weald and Belmont from our Northwood base. Stanmore grew from the old parishes of Great and Little Stanmore, just west of Roman Watling Street, now the A5, and our Northwood studio is about 5 miles away.
Framing, printing and album design are all done at the Northwood studio, so a single frame for the hallway and a full wedding album come from the same place. When editing is finished your private gallery opens, and prints, wall art or an album can be ordered from it in your own time.
Around HA7: parks, heathland and Bentley Priory
Stanmore Country Park, Canons Park and the heathland of Stanmore Common are among the places summarised here as possible settings for a family, pet or portrait session, each linked to its published source.
- Canons Park is Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens and includes the King George V Memorial Garden, a walled garden that was once part of the duke's kitchen gardens. 1
- Stanmore Underground station. Stanmore station on London Road is the northern terminus of the Jubilee line, in fare zone 5, and it opened on 10 December 1932 as part of the Metropolitan Railway. 2
- London Borough of Harrow. Stanmore is part of the London Borough of Harrow, about 11 miles north-west of Charing Cross, and grew from the old Middlesex parishes of Great and Little Stanmore just west of Roman Watling Street, now the A5. 3
- Stanmore Hill, at 152 metres (499 ft), is one of the highest points in London. 4
- The Broadway was probably the centre of medieval Stanmore, and in the 1950s the Automobile Association built offices there that became its regional headquarters for London and the South East. 5
- Bentley Priory is a mansion designed by Sir John Soane in 1775 and extended by him in 1788, and part of it is now a museum and memorial to the RAF, whose Fighter Command controlled the Battle of Britain from here in 1940. 6

Good to know
Photography in Stanmore, frequently asked questions
It depends on the session. A headshot or portrait sitting ends with a short, chosen set, whereas a full wedding day, from getting ready to the evening, runs to several hundred edited images. We would rather hand over fewer, properly finished pictures than a pile of near-duplicates.
Most people arrive saying they hate being photographed, so a session never runs at a rush, whether it is in the studio or in a quiet spot such as Bernays Gardens, the small walled garden in Stanmore. Conversation carries most of it, with simple directions on where to look or how to stand. After more than 25 years behind the camera, spotting when someone needs a pause comes naturally, and nerves tend to settle quickly.
Yes, and as Stanmore is about 5 miles from Northwood, travel there is not charged. For weddings, family sessions and business shoots we come to you with lighting and backgrounds, whether that is a home, an office on The Broadway or a park. Give us the address or venue when you enquire, whether in HA7 or over the way in Edgware, and we will confirm the plan for your date.
Start by telling us what you have in mind, whether it is a family morning at Canons Park or a ceremony at The Pavilion in Harrow. Ring 07956 505383 or send a message with the kind of shoot, where in Stanmore it will be, the date and any extras such as an album or prints. An itemised quote comes back to you, and you can ask anything you like before committing.
Yes, pets on their own or alongside the family, in the studio or outdoors in Stanmore. Your animal sets the pace, and if a walk on the heathland of Stanmore Common helps a dog settle before the camera comes out, we would build that in. Treats, toys and patience do most of the work, and for an outdoor session we would plan around Harrow's dog control orders, which include a specific one for Bentley Priory.
Yes, and each is planned around its own customs. Mandap rituals, the nikah, the Anand Karaj and multi-day celebrations each have their own order and sensitivities, and we work to them; nearby, The Hive London in Edgware markets its halls for Asian weddings and mehndi nights. Whether it is a single reception or a mehndi night followed by the wedding day, we agree the running order and timings with you before the first event. The Asian, Hindu, Sikh and Muslim wedding pages for Stanmore go through how coverage is shaped for each tradition.
On arrival at Northwood there is a drink, a run through the plan and time for questions before any photographs are taken. Let us know about any access needs beforehand and we will do what we can to make the visit work for everyone.
