A photo that makes you laugh or smile or brings back fond memories, maybe a photo
that's been handed down or sums up an amazingly precious moment in time...
Celebrate the next one in style and remember it forever
A lovely way to mark the occasion
Bubbles, laughter and generations celebrating together, it's like nothing else
WHATEVER YOUR CELEBRATION
Laughter and generations celebrating together, it's like nothing else
First smiles, First giggles, first steps, each can be treasured with Watch Me Grow
Those tiny fingers and teeny tiny toes.
Capture special details of those early days
They grow up so fast, and you forget so quickly, so let's save those moments
We are celebrating 35 incredible years of capturing cherished memories and as we look back on decades of creativity, passion, and dedication, we want you to join us in this celebration of love, legacy, and photography!
2025 also coincides with David & Sue’s 35th wedding anniversary - and we want to mark this special year and these special anniversaries by fundraising and giving back to our community by raising funds for Bedfordshire Hospitals.
In celebration of these 35th anniversaries, Oakley Studios is excited to be launching “Big 35” once again partnering with Bedfordshire Hospitals for a special fundraiser!
Throughout 2025, the booking fee for all our family photoshoots will be £35 with 50% of this being used to purchase items from Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Charity Wishlist.
Celebrate your family with a photoshoot and help us to help them.
WE LOVE OUR WORK
Over the last 35 years, we have taken a lot of photos!
It has been amazing for us to have been included in our clients lives - shooting their weddings, their growing families, their children growing up. Some of our very first tiny babies are now coming back to us with their babies - mindblowing - just like to say we started out when we were very very young!!!!
Along with all the family and occasion photoshoots we offer magical fairy theme shoots and fun filled Christmas shoots.
We have a fabulous garden studio based at our home. Being out of town gives us a tranquil studio environment which puts everyone at ease ready for relaxing family photoshoot. Easy to locate with free parking to boot. What's not to like?
We have a modern purpose built garden studio allowing us the freedom to offer different backgrounds to suit both casual and formal photoshoots.
Outdoors ? We love using our special “outdoor studio”, and have developed several places in our garden for this. Children in particular love the freedom outdoors love being able to let off steam. Our new children's hedgehog seats are a definite hit.
There is always a "Plan B" if the weather is not playing ball on the day .

I have used Oakley studios for a family session and loved them so much now I am using them for their baby photoshoot with my new baby. Having a large family they worked wonders with our then 4 boys ( now 5) and got amazing photographs. Thank you Oakley studios.

They made us feel very welcome and comfortable.. everything was explained to us in detail. They were so good with my daughter during the photoshoot. Look forward to the next photoshoot.

David and Sue were accommodating and welcoming right from the first phone call! They made us feel very relaxed and at ease as they created a lovely calming atmosphere, whilst they carefully positioned and supported our little Oakley to capture some stunning pictures. They have a beautiful studio - a really beautiful set up - we can’t wait to go back

We hope you will fand the answers you need here, if not please do get in touch...
We are based on the Luton & Dunstable borders, out of town and really easy to find with free parking.
Our studio hours are generally Wednesday through to Saturdays 9.00 a.m. till 6.00 pm. However, due to the nature of our work and the flexibility required these may vary- all visits to our studio are by appointment only.
We live in a residential area so we ask that you park close to our own drive keeping our neighbours driveways clear.
We will provide full details to you nearer the time of your appointment, we also have easy access but please let us know if anyone coming along has any mobility issues and we will do our best to help.
This depends on the style of your photoshoot but generally smart casual outfits colour co-ordinated with the group. We have loads of experience in this department so please just ask and we'll help you and will help you. We also have a style guide we can send out to you.
We specialise in multi generation families in our studio, the record is 26 at one time. We can use the garden area (weather permitting). It’s a good idea to have a chat about this when you make your booking.
We always say - enough - It's something we cannot put a number on!
Seriously it always depends on how many people are involved and how many different combinations are required. Just make sure if you want a special image taken that you let us know before the shoot.
Give us a call so that we can talk about your session. You can either then book and pay for your collection, if you know exactly what you want, or you can simply pay the booking fee of £35 to secure your booking.
