We make the kind of pictures you'd want to print and live with. The real moments, not the arranged ones. The hour after the speeches when no one is watching. The strange light through a kitchen window in February. The face of a person who has just realised something is true.
We work with couples, families, charities, and editors who are looking for something honest — and patient enough to wait for it.

Wilton Place Studios is a documentary photography and film practice based in London. The work draws on a long background in filmmaking. Patient, observational, more interested in what's actually happening than in what was planned. That instinct runs through every wedding, family commission, and editorial brief.
The studio also mentors other documentary photographers, and brings new tools into the work where they earn their place: aerial perspectives from drones, motion alongside stills, cameras that can see into light film couldn't reach. The technology is in service of the picture, never the other way round.

A documentary day at the Somerset gallery. Gardens, working studios, the slow rhythm of a place between exhibitions.

Aerial work from the Cornish coast. What the drone sees that nothing else can.
