…Kaushik's work is fantastic and he took so much stress out of our special day. He and his team are highly professional, fun and friendly and work with you to capture the shots that you want. He captured some amazing moments of both us and our guests, some natural, some posed but all truly wonderful. We were blown away by our albums and videos and have no hesitation in recommending him to our family and friends.

Reesha G., Google review, 2015

Kaushik took a photograph of my grand-daughter. The final product was superb. My little 2 year old girl was kept so calm and at ease with Kaushik’s kindness. We will now always use Kaushik for our photography.

Kiran N., Google review, 2024

I did a fabulous photoshoot with Kaushik and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was very nervous, but he made me feel at ease! I will hopefully return for another one at a later date!

What we photograph in Waltham Forest

Weddings, portraits, business and beyond

Waltham Forest is a green east London borough and former Borough of Culture. Engagements and weddings, maternity and newborn sessions, christenings and cake smashes: our week follows the milestones of family life.

Weddings are central to our work, alongside engagement shoots, christenings, family portraits and milestone birthdays. Graduations, big birthdays and family reunions deserve more than a phone snap, and a portrait from one can hang on the wall for decades. Weddings, engagements and family portraits fill much of our diary, and each booking gets the care owed to one of the most important days in someone's life.

A good headshot opens doors, so professional and acting portraits get unhurried attention, and corporate events and product shoots get the same care.

Why book us in Waltham Forest

Calm and prepared on the day

Years of weddings teach you to stay calm, read a room and keep going when the light or the schedule changes, and that steadiness comes to every booking in Waltham Forest. Five European Kodak Gold Awards stand behind the work, yet the promise is simpler: arrive prepared, stay calm and deliver.

We take bookings in Waltham Forest and the towns around it, covering on location work throughout Redbridge, Haringey. From Northwood we travel to Waltham Forest, about 17 miles away, and we travel across Greater London for shoots wherever they are needed.

Finished photographs arrive in a private online gallery to view, download and share, with high-resolution files ready to print at any size. You keep access to the gallery, so you can download high-resolution files or order prints whenever you like.

Good to know

Photography in Waltham Forest, frequently asked questions

It depends on the session. A portrait or headshot sitting produces a curated set of the strongest frames, while a full wedding day produces several hundred edited images. We would rather give you fewer, finished pictures than hundreds of near-duplicates. Tell us whether it is a headshot sitting or a full day at a venue such as the William Morris Gallery, and we will give you a rough figure when you enquire.

Yes. When a natural setting suits better, we come to your home or venue in Waltham Forest, or to a park such as Lloyd Park in Walthamstow. A single booking can combine both.

From Northwood we cover the whole borough, across the E4, E10, E11 and E17 postcode districts, for weddings, portraits and commercial work. That takes in homes, offices and venues in Walthamstow, Leyton, Leytonstone and Chingford, and travel from Northwood is set out in your written quote before you book. If you are not sure whether we cover your address, ask when you get in touch and we will confirm quickly.

Getting started is simple. Ring 07956 505383 or send a website message with a rough outline, say a ceremony at Fellowship Square or a family walk in Lloyd Park, plus the dates you prefer. From there we recommend a session, whether in Lloyd Park, at a venue, confirm everything and secure the date with a small deposit. Then we plan the shoot together, so nothing is rushed.

We repair fading, tears, creases and water damage digitally, keeping the photograph faithful to the original, whether it is an old wedding portrait or a snapshot of Walthamstow High Street from decades ago. Once restored, the picture can be reprinted, enlarged or framed to hang beside newer family portraits.

Safety comes first, every time. Some poses you see online are really two safe shots combined afterwards. A parent is always within arm's reach, and your baby's cues set the pace.

We do. We frame and enlarge prints too, so a favourite image, ours or from your own collection, can become a proper wall piece. We will help you choose a size, finish and frame that suit both the picture and your room.
