Northampton PhotographerFor the conference, the company and the people in it.
Northampton and the M1 corridor are home to logistics firms, manufacturers, professional practices and membership bodies that need photographs for websites, reports, recruitment and event coverage. We plan the shoot around your schedule, whether that is a full conference programme or an hour of headshots before lunch.
My Home Life England 20th anniversary conference, City St George’s, University of London · our work, not a Northampton commission.
PHOTOGRAPHS WITH A PURPOSE
Photographs planned around how you will use them.
A membership body wants its annual conference documented, from the first speaker to the reception, with images ready for the newsletter and next year's sponsor pack. A logistics business on one of the town's business parks needs its people and site photographed for a careers page. A professional practice needs partner portraits that sit neatly beside each other online. Each job comes with a constraint – a fixed programme, a working warehouse floor or a diary with fifteen free minutes.
We haven't photographed in Northampton or Northamptonshire yet. Our nearest event work is the Hamplified charity rugby festival at Rugby St Andrews RFC in Warwickshire, around 22 miles from Northampton. The conference photographs on this page come from the My Home Life England anniversary in London, and every image is labelled with the client and the place it was taken.

TEAM PHOTOS AND HEADSHOTS
One style for the whole team.
The group photograph was taken at Platinum Cleaning's staff summer party in Ipswich; the portrait is from our Hive Kids staff commission in Stowmarket. For a Northampton business we would agree a single look first – background, crop and light – so team photos and individual headshots sit together on your website, LinkedIn and bid documents.
We can photograph the whole team in one visit and keep a note of the set-up, so anyone who joins later is photographed to match.

CONFERENCE / LONDON
A whole conference day, in pictures.
For My Home Life England's 20th anniversary at City St George's, University of London, we photographed a daytime conference and the evening reception that followed: speakers, discussion from the tables, guests and the celebration itself. The same day was also recorded on video.
This was a London commission, not a Northampton one. It shows how we work at a conference with a fixed programme – the approach we would bring to a seminar, AGM, awards night or sector event in Northampton.

Booking a photographer in Northampton.
When you enquire
Tell us the venue or site address, the date and times, roughly how many people or areas need photographing and what the images are for.
Before the shoot
We agree a shot list, the look for any headshots, and practical details such as parking, passes, inductions or a quiet room for portraits.
After the shoot
You receive an edited, clearly named selection in web and print sizes, with any agreed retouching, so the right image is easy to find.
PHOTOGRAPHY RATES
A quote built around the setup.
£249first hour per photographer
£99 for each additional capture hour. Additional retouching is £49 per hour where required.
Quotes are built from the time we spend photographing, the number of people, areas or products, and any retouching you ask for. Travel is worked out from our base in Great Cornard, Sudbury: Northampton is well beyond 25 driving miles, so there is no mileage charge, and the estimated return driving time is billed at £49 per hour, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.
We cover Northampton town centre and its business parks, plus Wellingborough, Rushden, Kettering, Corby, Daventry, Towcester and the villages in between, travelling from our base near Sudbury. Send the address and a short brief when you get in touch.
Within 25 driving miles of the quoted base, travel is £0.55 per round-trip mile. Beyond that, mileage is waived and estimated round-trip driving time is charged at £49 per hour. Parking, tolls and other necessary travel costs are agreed separately.
PLANNING YOUR SHOOT
The practical details.
Have you photographed in Northampton before?
Not yet – we have no published shoots in Northampton or Northamptonshire. Our closest event work is the Hamplified rugby festival at Rugby St Andrews RFC in Warwickshire, about 22 miles from Northampton. The conference images on this page are from London and are labelled as such.
Do you photograph conferences and seminars in Northampton?
Yes. We work from your programme, agree which speakers, sponsors and sessions must be covered, and photograph the room, the questions and the networking as well as the stage. A small same-day selection for social media can be agreed in advance.
Can you photograph headshots for our whole team?
Yes. We set up one consistent background and light at your premises, photograph each person in a few minutes and check the result with them. Anyone who joins later can be photographed in the same style.
Do you photograph warehouses, factories and distribution sites?
Yes. We follow your inductions and PPE rules, work around vehicle movements and agree areas that must stay out of shot, so the operation keeps running. Aerial photographs are possible where airspace and site rules permit.
Can you photograph an awards evening or company party?
Yes. We cover arrivals, speeches, winners and the atmosphere of the evening. At Platinum Cleaning's summer party in Ipswich we delivered 300 edited photographs and a short film from two hours of coverage.
Can one booking include video as well as photographs?
Yes. At the My Home Life England anniversary we recorded the conference on video and photographed the day, and at Hamplified a photographer and a videographer worked side by side. We can plan combined coverage for a Northampton event.
Which areas around Northampton do you cover?
Northampton itself and its business parks, Wellingborough, Rushden, Kettering, Corby, Daventry, Towcester and the surrounding villages. For Milton Keynes and north Buckinghamshire, see our Milton Keynes photographer page.
How much does a photographer in Northampton cost?
Photography starts at £249 for the first hour per photographer and £99 for each additional hour, with retouching at £49 per hour where agreed. Northampton is over 25 driving miles from our base, so we charge estimated return driving time at £49 per hour instead of mileage. No VAT is currently added.
