Bubbles, laughter and generations celebrating together, it's like nothing else

Our 30 years experience will give you the confidence to know that you have made the right choice
Let’s introduce ourselves, we are David and Sue Doyle, owners of Oakley Studios Luton established in 1990. We specialise in family photoshoots. We are super proud of our reputation of providing a first class family portrait photography service.
We offer all styles of lifestyle photoshoots from maternity to those extra special multi generation photos.
Our aim is to always provide a truly professional service to our clients. It's so special and humbling for us that many clients return year on year with their growing family, the best recommendation we could ever hope to receive. We know their family photos become treasured and historical heirlooms.
Over the last 30 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 .
It’s good to get to know you before the shoot. This is your family photoshoot, designed around you and your family so let’s know …
the occasion?
who’s coming ?
