We hired Kaushik for our wedding. He was a fantastic photographer, very professional and great to work with. Kaushik was very flexible with timings, he was patient, and produced amazing photos! We received our photos really quickly and the quality of them are really nice!! His communication throughout was really good and understood what I wanted. My family were also very happy with Kaushik and the photos.

Laxmi T., Google review, 2023

We had a family shoot at the studio, Kaushik took some wonderful photos. He was excellent with the kids and was very good at making them smile naturally, the end results were brilliant. We purchased a canvas and 2 further large framed photos. All completed on time and to perfection. Very pleased.

Sailen R., Google review, 2017

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 :)

What we photograph in Yiewsley

Every occasion, from christenings to company headshots

Yiewsley is a town in the London Borough of Hillingdon on the Grand Union Canal, adjoining West Drayton. Sessions run at our studio in Northwood or wherever suits you, whether that is a garden, a business premises or a wedding venue somewhere in West Drayton, Hillingdon and Cowley. Graduations, big birthdays and family get-togethers deserve better than a phone snap, and a portrait from the day can be printed and framed at the studio to hang for years.

The occasions we photograph run from a register office wedding, such as one in the Astra Suite at Hillingdon Register Office in the Civic Centre on Uxbridge High Street, to a new baby, a first birthday, a graduation and the anniversaries years later. A family session can be formal or relaxed, and for a looser one with small children we would suggest Yiewsley Recreation Ground on Falling Lane, which has a sensory garden and a playground. Weddings of every tradition are covered, from a church service to a multi-day Asian celebration, along with engagements, christenings and milestone birthdays.

LinkedIn headshots, acting portfolios and personal branding portraits are lit individually in the studio, according to who you are and where the picture will be used. For companies at Stockley Park, the 88-acre business park with its lakes and 140,000 trees, or in Yiewsley itself, we offer professional headshots, corporate event coverage and product shoots. Practical work is done at the studio as well: framing and enlarging prints, repairing photographs that have faded or torn, and passport and visa pictures taken to the official rules.

Across Yiewsley

A short trip to Yiewsley

The name Yiewsley is thought to come from the Anglo-Saxon for 'Wifel's woodland clearing', and the village was first recorded as Wiuesleg in 1235. Yiewsley is a town in the London Borough of Hillingdon on the Grand Union Canal, adjoining West Drayton, and neighbouring West Drayton and Hillingdon form part of our regular area. Open spaces close to Yiewsley include Stockley Country Park and Little Britain Lake.

Yiewsley developed around brickmaking and the Grand Union Canal, whose main line turns east through the town on its route towards London. The five-mile Slough Arm branches off nearby at Cowley Peachey Junction. West Drayton station on the Elizabeth line serves the town. For pre-wedding and couple portraits, Stockley Country Park is one option, with the Grand Union Canal close by for a striking backdrop.

Before anything is booked we talk through who is being photographed, the feel you want and whether the studio, your home or somewhere like Little Britain Lake on Packet Boat Lane would suit best. We fit the time around school runs, shifts or a baby's naps, and for an outdoor session beside the Grand Union Canal we can aim for the softer light of early morning or evening.

Why book us in Yiewsley

What does a studio open since 2001 bring to a Yiewsley shoot?

More than 25 years of weddings, portraits and business work means a boardroom headshot gets the same calm preparation as a wedding day. The studio on Joel St has been open since 2001, a fixed address you can visit before you book and call into whenever you need prints or another session.

We serve Yiewsley and its neighbouring towns, with on location photography right across West Drayton, Hillingdon and Cowley. For shoots in UB7 we come out to you, and because Yiewsley is only about 7 miles from Northwood, travel there is not charged.

Around a week or two after the session, an edited online gallery of high-resolution images arrives, and albums, prints and frames can be ordered through the studio.

Here are a few places a Yiewsley portrait, family or business shoot might draw on, from the Grade II listed De Burgh Arms to the Recreation Ground on Falling Lane, each taken from a published source. Access, facilities and Hillingdon Council's permission rules for photography in its green spaces can change, so check the linked source before we settle on a location.

  • Oldest buildings. Yiewsley's three oldest buildings, all Grade II listed and dating from the late 16th or early 17th century, are Yiewsley Grange, the barn in Philpots Close and the De Burgh Arms pub. 1

Good to know

Photography in Yiewsley, frequently asked questions

Yes, for websites, printed brochures and online marketplace listings alike. Lighting is set to bring out each item's shape, colour and texture, with a clean white background or props as you prefer. For one of the 70-plus businesses on and around Horton Road, or an online seller working from home, consistent product images make a shop look professional.

Both. Headshots, newborns, portraits and product work are usually best in the Northwood studio, where the lighting is ours to control and a grey day in UB7 makes no difference. For something more natural we come to you, whether that is your home, your venue or the paths around the 11 lakes of Stockley Country Park. You can also combine the two in a single booking; just note that Hillingdon Council requires permission for professional photographs in its parks and green spaces, even for family shoots, so we would check that is in place before the date.

Yes, in the studio, where the light and backdrop stay the same from the first frame to the last. It works for online shops, catalogues and marketing, either on plain white or styled around your brand. Bring your stock in, tell us whether the images are for a marketplace listing or a printed catalogue, and we will deliver crisp, true-to-colour results.

Quite a lot of print and image work, all done on the premises. That covers framing, enlarging a favourite picture, bringing old or damaged prints back to life, and official passport and visa photographs. So an old family photograph can come in as easily as a new booking, and leave framed, enlarged or restored.

Yes, because safety decides every pose. The room is kept warm, we move at the baby's pace, and no pose is ever attempted without full support. Some of the poses seen online are in fact two safely supported frames merged in editing. You stay within arm's reach the whole time, and we take our lead from how your baby is settling.

It is a light-hearted session, usually for a first birthday, where your child is let loose on a cake while we photograph the mess. In the Northwood studio we put up a bright backdrop, set the cake down and let your one-year-old dig in at their own pace, no rushing. Pack a spare outfit and expect sticky hands and plenty of laughter.

Yes, there is parking close to the studio at 21 Joel St, and if you would rather leave the car at home, Northwood Hills on the Metropolitan line is the nearest station. We send directions to 21 Joel St, Northwood HA6 1NU when you book, so the journey up from Yiewsley is simple to plan. The studio is about 7 miles from Yiewsley, so give yourself a little spare time for the drive and start the session unhurried.
