Portrait Photography
Portrait Sessions Across Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire's portrait locations range from the iconic Cambridge Backs — willow-draped riverbanks beside the college gardens — to the pastoral River Cam at Grantchester Meadows, the National Trust's grand estate at Wimpole, and the extraordinary Anglesey Abbey near Lode, famous for its seasonal garden planting year-round. Further north, Ely Cathedral rising above the flat Fenland makes an arresting and completely unique backdrop for portrait photography.
I cover the whole of Cambridgeshire — Cambridge, Peterborough, Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives, Newmarket, March, and all surrounding villages and towns.
