- I can also offer you an exclusive beautiful and homely venue for photo-shoots -a gorgeous 3 bed period property (1900) in West Dulwich. This is great for London clients who do not want to travel and it has a mature, private garden. It is also situated next to numerous stunning parks and contains a home photography studio. (Please note some of the decor has changed however the feel is essentially the same).
- South London, zones 2 & 3 -all of these over-grounds are within a 15 minute walk of the property: West Dulwich, Tulse Hill (zone 2), West Norwood, Sydenham Hill & Gipsy Park.
- Venue in one of the greenest part of London -South London -within a 15 minute drive of around 35 parks which serve as wonderful backgrounds for more photographs! E.g. you can do part of your photoshoot at the venue and the rest in a nearby park of your choice. The following parks are within 15 minutes of the venue:
- E.g. Brockwell Park, Dulwich Park, Crystal Palace Park, Norwood Park, Belair Park, Sydenham Wells Park, Brenchley Gardens, Dulwich & Sydenham Golf Club, Streatham Common, Norbury Park, Westow Park, Upper Norwood Park, Ruskin Park, Wandsworth Common, Tooting Bec Common, South Norwood Lake and Grounds, Betts Park, Grangewood Park, Sydenham Wells Park, Mayow Park, Horniman Gardens, Dawson's Hill, Peckham Rye park, Camberwell Park,Branchley Gardens, Aquarius Golf Course, Greendale Park, Clapham Common, Milkwood Community Park, Loughborough Park, Wyck Gardens, Max Roach Park, Sunray Gardens, Horniman Gardens and more not listed here! Some contain ancient woods, lakes and more! & this list is some of the ones within 15 minutes of the period property -if you can spare 20, 25 minutes etc then there are even more...!
- Travel time to parks is part of the shoot length for the South London Period Property photoshoots so it's best to choose a nearby park (of which there are many -some within minutes-). Travel fees, using Uber or a local taxi company, will be additional. (I don't travel in clients cars and also Ubers/taxis are more time & money efficient as we don't waste time looking for parking or have to pay for parking).
Above: Brockwell Park (5 minutes away from property).
- There are also many architecturally beautiful photoshoot locations nearby e.g. Dulwich College (see two photographs below) and many more venues... These photoshoot locations can also be visited after photographs at the period property above. Dulwich college, for example, is only a 4 minute drive away from the venue... perfect for wedding & engagement photography, family photoshoots and more.
OPTIONS -BELOW:
As well as the plentiful parks (see above), there are also all sorts of nearby attractions that are great for photoshoot opportunities -please see this incomplete list of ideas below -most are only 5 to 10 minutes away from the South London photoshoot venue & so you can start the shoot there and continue onto another location (or several) of your choice...
(This is by no means to imply that I do not shoot outside of my area/s -I travel worldwide for work and no-where is too far. Please enquire).
Even if you can only fit one or two into your photoshoot, why not make your whole photoshoot day a fun day & (before or after your shoot) explore some of the places and events below? Especially recommended if you don't live in the area! I've put a wide range of ideas below -many are not typical wedding/engagement photoshoot locations (but I'm open to you wanting an unusual shoot) however I've included them in the list anyway so you have a choice of places to visit.
You can also have your day filmed (in 4K Ultra HD) and have a video made out of it.

"Mansion houses, millponds, a golf course and horse riding trails… in Dulwich Village you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled on a rural idyll,albeit one in Zone 3 and 17 minutes to London Bridge. It is one of the few inner London areas that has managed to maintain a ‘true’ village charm, ...these earned Dulwich Village its conservation area status in 1968. This exclusive and upmarket area has a charming, old world atmosphere with mature chestnut trees, leafy streets, white picket fences and a great range of independent shops, boutiques and cafes, as well as a Grade II listed pub. The area’s expansive and attractive green spaces are its biggest draw, from Dulwich Park, where highwaymen once terrorised local nobility, to Dulwich Wood, where the court of Charles I met to hunt deer. Famous for its art gallery and open spaces...Steeped in history, the architecture of Dulwich Village is period and traditional, with a variety of Georgian architecture surrounded by Victorian and Edwardian properties that came with the railways in the 1870s. A few delightful ‘rose cottages’ can be found discreetly tucked away in the heart of the neighbourhood, as can a number of idyllic 1920s/1930s houses with their abundance of light and space".

- * Please note that I have no affiliation with, or financial agreement with, any of the venues/events I have suggested. Please check with the venues that it is ok to do a photoshoot, and to do one on your chosen day/time -a minority may charge a fee however this has nothing to do with me. Please book your shoot to co-ordinate with the opening times of whichever venues/parks, etc, that you wish to visit. Also it's best to have an indoor Plan B incase there is rain! I can help you with this.
- Please inform me in advance of any locations that you want to visit & we can arrange a shoot schedule.
GIFTS & TOURS:
- You can add photoshoots, & full day packages, to your wedding lists or ask someone else to get one for you as an engagement or wedding gift. Or just treat yourself!

- This can involve full fun day packages where I can guide you/your group/your family & organise visiting various locations. (Who better to show you round than a local)? You/ your group can periodically have photographs taken at each place (especially good for tourists visiting the UK but open to anyone -it's easy not to explore London when you live here)! Open to individuals, couples and groups. (Clothes from photoshoots earlier in the day can be left in the South London property and collected at the end of the day, likewise this venue can be used to change in, sort out make-up, etc, in between locations).
