Finding Oakley Studios

WE LOVE OUR WORK

Over the last 35 years, we have taken a lot of photos at our studio which is now located on the Luton & Dunstable border

We have had the privilege of being part of thousands of family stories across the years: newborn portraits for tiny babies who are now bringing their own babies to us, children's photography sessions that have grown into teenage and then adult portraits, and multi-generational family shoots that bring four generations together under one roof.

 Alongside our portrait photography we also offer magical themed experiences including our Original Fairy Experience and fun-filled Christmas photoshoots. Our purpose-built garden studio on the Luton and Dunstable border is calm, private and welcoming — an indoor and outdoor portrait studio that puts everyone at ease from the moment they arrive.

Easy to find, with free parking on site. Come and see us.

INDOOR & OUTDOOR STUDIOS

Our purpose-built garden portrait studio gives us the freedom to offer a wide range of backgrounds and settings for your family photography session — both indoors and outdoors.

Our indoor studio is modern, professionally lit and perfectly set up for formal and relaxed portrait photography alike.

Our outdoor studio uses carefully developed garden spaces that children absolutely love — including our much-talked-about hedgehog seats, which are always a hit with younger visitors. And if the weather has other ideas on the day

We always have a Plan B.
