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!
I went into the photoshoot with reservations, as I wasn’t sure how well my youngest child (3 years) would be in a photoshoot situation. As soon as walking into the shoot and seeing how Kaushik interacted with the little ones, I was immediately put at ease. He amazingly kept my child smiling and laughing for an hour, where I can’t seem to manage to do for 30 seconds!
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 :)
The lie of the land
West London, as this page uses it, starts on the A40 corridor at Northolt and runs down through the seven towns of the London Borough of Ealing to Hounslow, Feltham and the airport. It then reaches east through Brent to Willesden Green, Queen's Park and Kilburn, and south to the river at Chiswick, Hammersmith and Chelsea. Ealing borough alone was created in 1965 from the old boroughs of Ealing, Acton and Southall, and it is now the third most populous borough in London.
Distance from Northwood grows as you head south-east. Northolt is 4.2 miles away, Greenford 5.7, Perivale 6.0 and Southall 6.5. Hanwell, West Ealing, Park Royal and Ealing Broadway follow between 7.1 and 7.6 miles, then Northfields, Dollis Hill, Brent, Acton, Willesden Green and Cricklewood between 8.2 and 9.0. The outer ring is Heathrow (9.2), Hounslow (9.5), Chiswick (9.9), Queen's Park (10.0), Kilburn (10.2), Hammersmith and Fulham (10.7), Feltham (10.9) and Kensington and Chelsea (11.3).
None of that is far in miles, but it is London driving, with the A40 Western Avenue, the A406 North Circular and the Hanger Lane gyratory where they meet. That is why travel from Northwood is quoted up front for every job here, in writing and before you book, whether you live two stops down the Central line in Northolt or beside the river in Fulham.
Two ways of working
A West London wedding day might begin in the Small Hall at The Brentham Club, Ealing's register office ceremony room, move to a banqueting hall in Southall and pause for portraits beside the lakes in Gunnersbury Park. Kaushik photographs the whole day wherever it goes, and the same applies to a wedding anywhere across the UK. Wedding photography starts from £750. Each package is built around the day itself, and a second photographer, a pre-wedding shoot in a West London park or a hand-finished album can be added.
For everything else, Kaushik comes to you: your front room in Hanwell, your garden in Chiswick, your office in Park Royal, or a park such as Gladstone Park in Dollis Hill or Ravenscourt Park in Hammersmith. If you would rather visit us, the studio is at 21 Joel Street, Northwood Hills, two minutes from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line. Session prices are given on request: ring or WhatsApp Kaushik on 07956 505383 and tell him what you have in mind.
Backdrops
West London gives a photographer plenty of architecture to work with. The Hoover Building on Western Avenue in Perivale is a Grade II* listed Art Deco building by Wallis, Gilbert and Partners that opened in 1933. In Ealing, Pitzhanger Manor was Sir John Soane's country house, rebuilt between 1800 and 1804, and it stands at the edge of Walpole Park, a 28-acre Grade II park. Christ the Saviour Church on Ealing Broadway is George Gilbert Scott's Gothic Revival design of 1850 to 1852.
Brunel's engineering shapes the Southall and Hanwell side: the Wharncliffe Viaduct carries the Great Western Main Line 20 metres above the Brent Valley, and at Three Bridges on Windmill Lane a road, the Grand Union Canal and the railway cross at three levels. Down by the river, Chiswick House is a Grade I neo-Palladian villa completed in 1729 in grounds of about 65 acres, and Holland Park in Kensington has 54 acres of woodland and formal gardens around the Kyoto Garden, created in 1992.
One planning point is worth knowing early. Hillingdon Council says anyone wanting professional photographs in its green spaces needs its permission, even for personal use, and Queen's Park byelaws require an agreement with the City of London Corporation for photography taken for a business. If your chosen spot falls under either rule, sort it out before the date and the session itself runs smoothly.
Communities
Southall is home to London's largest Sikh community and has ten gurdwaras. At the 2021 census Sikhs made up 28.5 per cent of its population, Muslims 24.1 per cent and Christians 22.6 per cent. Its Broadway, part of the Uxbridge Road, holds one of the largest South Asian shopping areas, and the signs at Southall station are in English and Gurmukhi. To the north-east, in Neasden, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir opened in 1995 as Europe's first traditional Hindu stone temple.
At the 2021 census Brent had the lowest share of UK-born residents in England and Wales, at 43.9 per cent, and India was the most common country of birth among residents born abroad. Hounslow is the most diverse town in its own borough, with a large British Asian and Somali community. For couples planning a Hindu, Sikh or Muslim wedding, the West London Asian wedding page goes into the detail of multi-day planning here.
Where next
Each town has its own page with local detail. Start with Southall, Greenford or Ealing on the Ealing side, Brent and Willesden Green to the north-east, Hounslow and Heathrow to the south-west, and Chiswick or Hammersmith and Fulham beside the Thames. Each one lists parks, stations and planning notes for that town.
For weddings, the West London wedding guide compares the register offices of Ealing, Brent and Hounslow, and the pages for Hindu, Sikh and Muslim weddings deal with the mandir, the gurdwara and the nikah at home. Next door, the North West London page covers Harrow, Hillingdon and the streets around Northwood.

Read the wedding photography page or the West London wedding guide for register offices and planning.

Asian weddings in West LondonFamily sessions happen where you live: the house in Northfields, the garden in Chiswick or a park such as Horsenden Hill, Lammas Park or Ravenscourt Park. Northala Fields in Northolt, with four conical hills built from the rubble of the old Wembley Stadium, gives children room to run. See family photography, or the Greenford and Chiswick family pages.
Family photography in West LondonNewborns are photographed at home, ideally in the first 5 to 14 days, with the session fitted around feeds and sleeps. From Northolt at 4.2 miles to Kensington at 11.3, no West London family has to bundle a new baby into the car for a long trip. Ring or WhatsApp for a newborn price. More on the baby photography page.
Newborn photography in West LondonMaternity sessions are usually at 28 to 34 weeks, at home or somewhere green nearby.

See maternity photoshoots for how a session runs, and ask by phone or WhatsApp for a price.
Maternity photoshoots in West LondonA pre-wedding shoot is a relaxed session together before the wedding, and West London has settings for it: the riverside houses of Strand-on-the-Green, the gardens at Chiswick House, free to enter and open daily from 7am, or the bandstand and lawns of Queen's Park. It also gets you used to the camera before the day. See couples photoshoots for more.
Engagement and couples shoots in West LondonFor businesses in Park Royal, along the Great West Road in Hounslow or around Ealing Broadway, Kaushik comes to your office for individual or team headshots, and a single sitting takes around 20 to 30 minutes.

Event photography in West LondonDogs are photographed at home or on a familiar walk.

Yes. Family, newborn, maternity and pet sessions happen at your home, in your garden or in a park nearby, such as Walpole Park in Ealing, Gladstone Park in Dollis Hill or Roundwood Park in Harlesden.

Yes. Park Royal, split between Ealing and Brent, is London's largest business park, and offices along the Great West Road in Hounslow are just as close. Kaushik sets up in a meeting room or a quiet corner with good light, and a single sitting takes around 20 to 30 minutes.

It depends on the park. Hillingdon Council says professional photographs in its green spaces need its permission, even for personal use, and Queen's Park byelaws require an agreement with the City of London Corporation for photography taken for a business. Most Ealing parks simply ask for dogs on leads in some areas. Tell us the park you have in mind and we will plan around its rules.
