But if they were to be asked who their hero was, what would they say? It is likely, your partner or your children or your parents would say, the hero of their story is "You!" You've saved the day for them, done the unexpected, comforted and loved them unconditionally. Now I can't play an instrument so I can't produce a unique hero theme tune!
Studio portraits are something I really enjoy shooting. The sessions series begins with "this is ME", focusing attention on growth and individual beauty. We are all subject to the twists and turns of life. Usually, after we have achieved something or have overcome an unexpected challenge, we uncover hidden strengths or undefined talents - that we never knew we had.
Couples Portraits start at 275 for a studio session. Matted prints, museum style mega size and real Italian Leather folio boxes are the ideal way to preserve these images and various options are available. I provide these with music allowing you to upload to your social media site or anywhere online.
Family Portraits provide an opportunity to preserve cherished family moments. Personally I love thumbing through old family albums. They fire up so many memories and because of them I have learned about family members and connections in a way that words can't convey. Can you relate to that?
Are you a parent who can talk for hours about the different characters of each of your children and the great experiences you have had while their personalities are forming?Are you keen to preserve those memories? Or, is it important to you to capture your grandparents, parents and children in a generation shoot, commemorating your personal heritage?

Wedding photography, should be a mix of real and honest reportage along with some memorable artistic imagery. It is the first day of the rest of your life as a married couple. After all the planning, the expense and the emotional investment, your wedding day memories deserve to be captured with integrity and care.

If you are someone who is camera shy and doesn’t really like their picture being taken then this is the place to go. I was adamant that I wasn’t going to have a good time and that the pictures wouldn’t come out nice. How I was proven wrong. The pictures came out amazing. The one I posted on Instagram is now my most liked. The shoot was so much fun. Was made to feel comfortable and my personality definitely came through in the photos!!
Book your shoot now. You won’t regret it!!!!

Raphael Lionel Photography will always be my go to studio for photography. From liaising with Raph on the phone I felt looked after, understood, and that he was able to accommodate my needs. He was punctual, friendly, and made the effort to get to know me. I didn't feel under pressure or stressed at any stage. While having my pictures taken, he made me feel comfortable, and at ease, he directed me really well and professionally, he was never rude or patronising. I was really impressed by his manner an approach. When seeing the edits of the photos, I was more than impressed with the quality of the

Thank you so much Raph for allowing us to use your studio for our wedding shoot during this covid 19 pandemic. Earlier in the year, our wedding had to be postponed due to covid, when we finally got the opportunity to get married, we were only able to plan in 10 days due to fear another lockdown was imminent. We had planned to have the usual outdoor wedding photos, just to try and keep some normality to our wedding in this crazy situation, however the weather looked bad and was set to rain all day so plan b was suggested - an indoor wedding shoot. Raph proved to be very accommodating with only a

I wanted professional photos taken to promote my business. Raphael was FANTASTIC! He was so cool and easy to be around. He helped me come up with some great looking photos for my business profile. The pictures were fun to take and very high quality. I don’t really enjoy having my pictures taken but he made me feel at ease. He has also arranged a video to promote my business, which l am extremely pleased with. Raphael always has a smile on his face and he is so professional, flexible and easy going. I am so thankful l chose Raphael to do this work for me as he is so talented. Go on!! Book a consultation
