Family & Special Occasion Photography
Every family unit is unique, composed of diverse characters of all species. Family photographs capture a moment in time that can be treasured and shared for many lifetimes. Far away relatives treasure those photographs on their mantle piece as the family grows - and grows up.
I can come to your home; meet you on a day out for relaxed candid portraits or combine a big birthday or anniversary with extended family group shots and in all cases prints and a variety of albums are available to order separately.
Please get in touch to discuss a family photo shoot or your upcoming celebration.
DBS certified - a PDF of the certificate can be provided on request.

"First photography session with Ingrid and it was absolutely wonderful. She was great, warm and friendly. Great with my son as well and the pictures are gorgeous."
"Ingrid came along to photograph my 60th birthday party !
She captured the evening brilliantly, from the more formal family shots prior to the party getting underway to the party in full swing on the dance floor much later on.
She mixed with all the guests and instantly got them relaxed and eager to maximise the photo opportunity.
Ingrid is a special and absolute must to help deliver all your most magical memories.
Thank you"

"Ingrid is beyond amazing!
She not only stepped in at the eleventh hour when a friend and colleague was taken ill, which shows her loyalty to her profession , but she produced the most wonderful photos.
She captured the mood and atmosphere of the party without causing any disruption , in fact her good humour and personality added to the evening!
I have no hesitation in recommending her highly."

"Ingrid came to our house to do a Lockdown Mini-Shoot through our front window. We all really liked her and she got some great shots of the family, including our dog! Thanks Ingrid!"
"I have loved receiving post today - a selection of signed prints for my Grandfathers 90th Birthday taken by Ingrid Weel."
"Thank you Ingrid for all our beautiful photos. We have used Ingrid for all our family photos, from our engagement photo to family photos with our little girl, dog and cats. We would not go to any other photographer and highly recommend Ingrid."
“Had a fantastic photoshoot with my son last weekend
at home on our doorstep with local photographer
Ingrid Weel as part of her offer for local residents in Chertsey.
Was so much fun, and delightful to have a visitor
to the front garden after months of zero visitors!
Here's one we chose from our shoot.”

"Ingrid took the most amazing family photos of us while we were on vacation in London. She captured our personalities and our joy spending time on our adventure abroad together. I highly recommend!"
"Yet again we have a beautiful set of photos of us all together - Ingrid's photo-shoot was the best present we could give our wider family, and Ingrid coming over is half the fun - from the youngest to the oldest, everyone enjoyed the experience, and the photographs are something we will cherish forever.
Thank you again, Ingrid."
Thank you again, Ingrid."
"We have continued to use Ingrid after nearly 8 years of marriage for family pictures. She succeeded in getting our 1 year old smile and laugh non stop producing the sweetest pictures that we proudly display in our home.
For one shoot, despite my 4 year old daughter being under the weather, Ingrid was able to make her feel like the bell of the ball, encouraging a spontaneous ballet style solo dance shoot. These photos which have been blown up and framed in our living room continue to attract everyone who comes into our home; many asking how they can contact Ingrid to take their photos.
What we love the most is the personal attention to our needs, especially when working with unpredictable young children, her ease and attentiveness to detail, ability to bring the most beauty out of each family member, great organisation and quick turn around after each shoot. She rocks! Simple as that!”

"Just wanted to say massive thanks again for the headshots of Kyla...
Off the back of those headshots Kyla is in the process of signing a contract with a talent agency in London.
To say she is massively excited is an understatement!!!! She got the audition with them last weekend through submitting her headshots and info, and they commented on how good her pics were! And then also her audition once she had been.
So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I think she wants you to do all her pics now!"

"Ingrid has just shot the 4th annual 'Baby Party' for my post-natal group and our ever growing breed of babies, children and even some bumps! Every year we are all delighted with the wonderful pictures and we all have a gallery of professional shots as our children grow up together. She is great with the children and I just wish I knew her when I got married!!"
"We can not recommend Ingrid highly enough.
From the moment we met to discuss our wedding theme etc, we could tell that Ingrid was way more than just a photographer; she was a storyteller with a mind and ideas that we would never have thought of, but should have!
Our story began with photographs the evening before our big day and then continued in the morning whilst we were getting ready. Ingrid captures not only the happy and excited faces and expressions, but also the quiet nervous contemplation that is equally as wonderful to look back on. The photographs during the ceremony were incredible but you would have never known that Ingrid was there as we never ‘photographed’ or overwhelmed.
The very best part of Ingrid as a photographer is her spontaneity! We had no idea that our bridesmaid and wedding party would embark on an obstacle course that was tucked away in our venue grounds! But those pictures are some of our favourites, and our guests still talk about it!
If you’re looking for a solid, reliable, artistic and imaginative photographer, Ingrid Weel should be top of your list."
