- Linda“If you are looking for a friendly and versatile photographer who at all times makes you feel at ease and who produces naturally looking, stunning pictures...look no further! Absolutely delighted with the results. Thank you very much, Mina.”
— Martin“Mina was outstanding!
We have a two-week-old baby, and our dog, and I was so nervous it would work as our baby could want a feed at any point, but from the first minute, Mina made us feel relaxed and comfortable.
We loved the two hours, and our dog was living his dream and was so well-behaved.
Mina spent equal time with each of us and together.
We have photos that we will adore for life, and will 100% book again.
Thank you, Mina”

FAQs
-
I cover most of Surrey and London, although for some locations that a further afield I may charge a small travel fee. I cover the following areas in Surrey: Guildford, Dorking, the Surrey Hills, Godalming & Bramley, Leatherhead & Oxshott, Reigate & Oxted, Haselmere & Milford. I cover most of London but in particular the South West and the South East, for example Richmond-upon-Thames, Hampton, Kingston-upon-Thames, Wimbledon, Putney, Barnes, Twickenham, St Margarets, Dulwich, Peckham, Crystal Palace, Forest Hill, Chiswick, Notting Hill, Kensington & Chelsea, Fulham and central London.
-
The best time of day would typically be early morning or late afternoon, when the light is soft and warm. However, we live in the south of England and can’t rely on the weather and golden hour. Therefore, I would say that the best time of day (or the most convenient) is in the morning, where children are on good form, parks are empty and the traffic is light.
-
I love working with children and animals. No two children or pets are the same, and no two photoshoots are the same. I adjust my style based on the energy levels of kids, animals and everyone in the family. Sometimes, we need to do the action shots first, and other times I’ll take snuggly photos at home.
-
Absolutely. I provide comprehensive wedding photography across London and Surrey, covering everything from intimate city register office ceremonies to large-scale barn weddings in the Surrey countryside. My style is documentary-focused, capturing the genuine emotions of your day.
-
Yes! Combining my passion for wedding and pet photography is a specialty of mine. If your dog is part of your big day, I will ensure we capture beautiful, high-quality portraits of you together as a family.
-
For Surrey family and pet sessions, I recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance, especially for weekend slots. For London and Surrey weddings, most couples book 12–18 months ahead to ensure availability for their date. Having said that, it is worth getting in touch even if you are planning a last-minute wedding. You may be lucky in that that I still have some availability.
