You do not have to attend the shoot, but you are more than welcome to do so! We have a beautiful green room that is fitted out with a coffee machine, TV and WIFI. So, you can either kick back or get to work! It’s a great opportunity to be on hand to direct the shoot, or if you can’t make it we can send you a remote link to view instantaneously.

You can either drop them off to our Chesham studio, arrange a courier if you have a large quantity, or just send it directly to us.
