Oakley Studios is based on the Luton and Dunstable border in Bedfordshire — easily accessible from Luton, Dunstable, Harpenden, St Albans, Milton Keynes, and across Hertfordshire. We're at 39 Emerald Road, Luton, Bedfordshire. Free on-site parking is available, making us simple to reach for families across the region.

Yes — our Original Fairy Experience is in high demand and spaces are strictly limited. We currently operate a waiting list. To secure your place, please fill in our waiting list form on this page. Once current dates are filled, the fairy experience will not return until the following year, so we encourage you to join the list as early as possible.

Your £30 booking fee secures your booking and includes: a full fairy or elf photoshoot in our magical set; use of our beautiful fairy and elf costumes and accessories (no need to bring your own clothing); a cinematic slideshow viewing experience; and the opportunity to select your favourite images and wall art from the session. All fairy experience images you purchase are individually hand-finished by Anita with special magic and sparkle effects.

The Original Fairy Experience at our Bedfordshire studio is perfect for children from babies upward, with costumes available for smaller fairies and elves too. Girls up to their teens and boys up to around age 8 particularly love the experience. Siblings are very welcome — we can photograph them together and individually within a single session. 

We usually allow one hour for the session, giving plenty of time to settle in, choose costumes, get changed, and capture the magic. For larger families or groups, or if you have any special requirements, we can arrange a longer session — just let us know when booking. Our Bedfordshire studio is purpose-built with indoor and outdoor garden spaces to make your child feel relaxed.

No — everything is provided. Our beautiful fairy and elf costumes, wings, wands, and accessories are all here and ready for you at our Luton studio. You simply need to bring your child and enjoy the experience. No additional clothing is required.

After your fairy photoshoot at our Bedfordshire studio, you'll enjoy a stunning cinematic slideshow of your child's images. From there, you can choose from a range of products: beautiful wall art designed to last a lifetime, collections of large printed portraits, digital image packages to share with family, and bespoke gifts. Collections start from three large prints. Our team will guide you through what you love most.

The Original Fairy Experience at Oakley Studios is run by David and Sue Doyle, professional photographers with over 35 years of experience. Sue leads the fairy sessions with warmth and patience, creating a completely relaxed and magical atmosphere for every child. Our fairy experience images are individually hand-finished by Anita, our product specialist. We are a family-run studio on the Luton and Dunstable border, proud to serve families across Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

Yes, and that matters to us. The Original Fairy Experience isn’t a franchise or a replica — it’s been developed over many years here at Oakley Studios. The fairy glen set is purpose-built for each event, every image is individually hand-finished, and David and Sue bring over three decades of professional portrait experience to every session. We also hold MPA Newborn Safety Certification — something no other local studio currently holds — which reflects the standard of care we bring to everything we do.
