Photography for family celebrations

Whatever the reason for gathering your family, whether it’s a special celebration, birthday party or an extended family reunion, I offer relaxed, natural photography to capture those meaningful moments. Family celebration photography is all about preserving the connections and joy that happen when loved ones come together, creating a lasting record of your most treasured memories.

Why Family Celebration Photography Matters

Big families often only come together a few times a year, and these gatherings are usually for significant milestones. Whether it’s the excitement of welcoming a new baby, a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, or just a rare reunion, these events deserve to be remembered. Family photography ensures that those special moments don’t fade over time, allowing you to look back and cherish the love and happiness shared on these days.

Photos aren’t just about capturing people—they’re about capturing relationships.

Images to capture

You’re going to want to grab the chance for a picture of everyone together – no one stuck behind the camera!  I’ll organise some low key formal arrangements to get everyone in the picture.   But that’s not all family is about, the candid moments are what make gatherings like this fun.  Imagine the joy of seeing grandparents laughing with the little ones, cousins reconnecting, and siblings sharing inside jokes. These are the memories that tell the story of your family’s bond and togetherness.

You might have noticed that I love finding water to swim in whereever I can. If you fancy some urban family photos there are lots of places in London that we can add some water sparkles to your images, or even get soaking wet! Here's one from when I had my photos taken a couple of years ago. #familyphotographylondon

If you are in the city but could do with a bit of a green oasis relaxation, find this spot in central London hidden between the skyscrappers. St Dunstan's in the East is a ruined medieval church, which after bomb damage in the 40's was preserved as a luscious garden, with a small trickling fountain and lots of picnic spots. 

You can find St Dunstan in the East a 10 minute walk from Tower Hill tube and has a background of shiny glass buildings of the corporate world.  Surrounded by more obvious sights, such as the tower bridge, the tower of London, and the Monument, there is lots to see. 

There are so many great city locations in London for urban photo adventures.

If you'd rather go wild in the city than the countryside, and love London and the hustle and bustle, this is the photo shoot for you.  Capture some real family pictures and some iconic locations in a city adventure session, whether you are just visiting, staying or leaving.

I think Londoners sometimes loose sight of the interesting bits of London - whereas the tourists are whizzing around trying to see it all.  I've lived in London for about 25 years now, and regard myself as a long stay tourist (but still a northerner at heart). I still find new things to explore in London.  I can take you to some of my favourite routes - with views and sights, but still enough space for us to take some vibrant electric city pictures.

I've been thinking hard about how to improve the experience of having family photographs.
When I started out it used to take me 2 hours to get enough great photos in a family photo session.
With experience I got that down to 1 hour.
But...
Now I am going to start offering half day, 3 hour plus photo sessions
Because the enemy of great photos is photo stress.
The parents get stressed
They give it to their children
"Stand still"
"Smile now"
"We only have an hour"
So lets take that stress away with a longer photo session
Not 3 hours solid of photos. Of course not. (that would be mad)
But 3 hours in which to choose the best time to take the photos
We'll go on an adventure
I'll show you my favourite places
The kids will investigate, the trees, the bugs, the nature
We'll play. Bubbles, balls, feed the ducks
Stop for a picnic.
Distract ourselves with icecream
The photo session isn't something we are trying to get out of the way, it's the fun outing of the day. 
Quality family time
So don't tell the kids that they are going out to a photo session ("Stand still, Smile now")
But that we are going out for a family adventure
And that I'll take some photos while we are there, because they are superstars!
Super fun
Super explorers
