FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY
We LOVE LOVE LOVE the family pictures taken by Annmarie Meredith! She has captured wonderful images of our little boys and of us as a family for the past nine (!) years and we're always absolutely delighted with all of her photographs. Thank you so much and we already look forward to our photo session with Annmarie next year.
Mrs R, Clapham, South London
As a surprise my daughters had their portrait taken for my Christmas present. I love the pictures, they give me so much joy and you have clearly caught them as they are. Annmarie well done and thank you!
Mrs E, North London
Annmarie Meredith has taken some stunning portrait photos for our family. She has the talented knack of composing wonderful artistic studies from unusual angles, she has an intuitive sense of lighting and gets it just right. The colours are perfect.
Annmarie takes more than a picture - she captures 'the person', you can hear them laughing - there are no bland contrived shots here - the pictures encapsulate the 'moment', taking you immediately back there. A photo shoot is a superbly relaxed affair with no sense of being pushed to 'get through it '.
Annmarie has a warm personality that immediately puts you at ease and brings out the best in the subjects.
Recently we commissioned Annmarie for a photo shoot of our daughter at 18. The pictures are beautifully natural but capture all facets of our daughter's personality and Annmarie gave plenty of time for wardrobe changes and used the venue to capacity getting lots of different backdrops and settings.
All orders from Annmarie arrive quickly and safely. Annmarie has taken shots of my husband track car racing - capturing the speed, the excitement, the noise, the masculinity of the day, she has also taken pictures at a fancy dress party for us - homing in on people, animals and personalities - beautiful close ups, soft ambient portraiture and picturesque landscape shots. All that as well as sets of superb family shots.
To say you get value for money would be an understatement and I recommend both the photographer and the photographs most highly.
Ruth Travers, Stave House, Chelmsford, Essex
Thank you so much for the beautiful photos, especially of my son. He hasn't been captured looking and laughing so naturally ever since he was a toddler. When they get older, it is harder because they are more self-conscious and conscious of the camera.
Dorien, South London
Annmarie, we received the 2 disks on Wed – thank you so much, the photos are great. I’m getting them all printed and can’t wait. There are some fantastic shots of the kids - very precious. It felt very relaxed having you here – you put Grant and I both at ease. Thanks
Sharon, West London
CORPORATE HEADSHOTS
I’m so happy with my corporate headshots, photographed by Annmarie. She puts you immediately at ease for what is (I imagine for most people) a bit of an awkward thing to do: looking at a camera for a couple of hours and pulling your best face! However, Annmarie knew just what to do to get the best pictures and have a good time doing it, too. Thanks Annmarie – I recommend you to everyone!
Marje, North London
I work in professional services and needed some up-to-date headshot photos for my web site, LinkedIn profile and other applications. Annmarie delivered some great images with utmost professionalism and aplomb. Amazing, I even look pretty cool which is saying something! Great job and I look forward to working with her again.
Mark Law, Founder & CEO at Advanced Management Skills, Muswell Hill, North London
Quite apart from her undoubted technical skill, Annmarie Meredith is highly sensitive to capturing a true "image" of her subjects, and making them real and sympathetic rather than artificially flattered or beautified. I found the experience of working with Annmarie highly rewarding - and the results were astounding!
Thereza Snyman, Head of IT, Kingsley Napley, Central London
This has been my first ever professional photo session, and I was so impressed! Annmarie was very welcoming and very professional, and it was a pleasure to work with her. Hard work I must say, but also fun at the same time. And the shots are great - I needed a professional photo for my CVs and social media, and l got lots of positive feedback from friends and also clients. I would definitely recommend Annmarie to everybody looking for a professional headshot
Aleksandra Podsiadlik, MCIL, Associate of ITI, Freelance Translator (English/German > Polish), Highgate, North London
Annmarie, I don't know how you do it... I'm usually so self-conscious and uncomfortable in front of a camera. However, you managed to make the whole experience stress-free and - fun! Now I actually have some shots of myself that I can be really proud of. Thank you so much!
A Alonso, Surrey
Working with Annmarie on a set of profile shots was a fantastic experience. Not only did she produce a brilliant set of photos which represent me just as I wanted, for a number of different purposes, but her professionalism, talent and warm personality made the whole experience effortless and fun.

ONE-TO-ONE PHOTOGRAPHY COACHING
Having attended a photographic course a few months ago, I was confused with the mass of information given and it somewhat shook my confidence. Spending time with Annmarie Meredith for a few hours photographing waterfowl really improved my confidence. She is both informative, kind, patient and very supportive in her teaching. Also very encouraging. I learned a great deal and more about my camera and it has inspired me to go out there and practice more. I also feel more confident in my abilities. Thank you Annmarie!
SA Pinnington, London
I met Annmarie Meredith during a photo-shoot with my amateur photo group. She had been asked to join us by a more advanced member to offer us the benefit of her expertise.
It didn’t take long before her knowledge and skills were evident and her advice invaluable.
She and I gelled immediately and, as I knew she gave lessons, I eagerly became a pupil.
It has now been more than 3 years during which time I have regularly benefited from her tuition. I have learned so much from her and am now a far more advanced and confident photographer.
I will continue to take lessons and learn from her and I consider myself very lucky to have met her.

EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Annmarie is a fantastic photographer with children - she managed to capture really beautiful photographs of our daughter's 4th birthday party in a non-obtrusive and creative way.
Claire Missingham, Crouch End, London
Annmarie Meredith did two assignments for Power of 3 Films Ltd: event coverage photography of our film premiere and a photo shoot with one of our actresses. Our film premiere was hectic but Annmarie stayed calm and focused. Her photographs of the event were of the highest quality and, even better, they captured the spirit of the event itself. Her photo session with Margaret Nolan (one of our actresses) was a revelation. Not only were they technically superb they also showed many facets of Maggie’s personality and unique beauty. I feel that shows Annmarie’s ability to put her photo subjects at ease and to establish a rapport with them. The photos she achieved were breathtaking. Needless to say, we look forward to hiring Annmarie again and feel lucky to have found her. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants photos they will treasure forever.
Ann Cameron, Power of 3 Films Ltd
Annmarie Meredith is one of the most talented portrait photographers I've worked with. She has a relaxed and empathetic approach and is a lovely person!
Maggie Nolan, Actress, North London
Annmarie supplied her photography services at the children's event 'Art Picnic 4 Kids' organised by Green Peas in August 2011. I was most impressed with the professional conduct she displayed before, during and after my event. She provided fast turnaround of the images for my clients and myself and the quality of her work was outstanding and praised by everybody. I'd highly recommend Annmarie to anybody who is looking for a professional photographer and no doubt I will be using her services in the future.
Anna Konarska, Green Peas Events, London, N10
As one of the newsletter team for Haringey Families, we really appreciated the lovely photos that Annmarie Meredith took for us of our big annual event, the Summer Fun Day. Her talent behind the lens meant that she captured the spirit of the day beautifully. Haringey Families is a local not-for profit community organisation that arranges fun events and activities for children. Find out more at Haringey Families
Imogen Locke, Haringey Families, London
Thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with, Annmarie takes photos which capture your event perfectly. She is the first port of call for the Highgate Fair in the Square's photos.
Marje, Highgate Fair in the Square, North London, N6
Thank you so much for the photos of The KnowList Awards and Gala Dinner, they are fantastic!
Dan Brown, CEO, Professional Group Solutions, London
Annmarie photographed my son's 2nd birthday and captured so very well all the fun and excitement of the day. My friends and family alike adored the resultant photos. She is creative, flexible, non intrusive and well, brilliant. I loved her ideas for easy ways of getting the best shot and we as a family have never photographed so well. I thoroughly and truly recommend her. I am a very happy customer and I will definitely use her again.
Mary, West London
PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Annmarie recently did a photoshoot for my children’s clothing company, Impkids. It is no mean feat dealing with small children who are in and out of a selection of outfits and need bringing together to achieve the desired image but Annmarie has all the skills needed in such a situation. She is calm and quietly spoken and the children were very happy to do as she asked when it came to trying out different poses.
Annmarie also has a great creative eye and the patience needed when working with children to persevere to get just the right shot. I was very impressed with how quickly Annmarie was able to edit the images she took and present them to me in a web gallery and this is very important to me as part of running my business.
I am very much looking forward to more collaborations with Annmarie, she is a pleasure to work with.
Liz Marsh, MD, South London, Impkids
Annmarie has now delivered two commissions for me. Both were of very different natures, and both came with outstanding results.
A couple of years ago she took a set of profile shots for me, for my coaching business. The results were perfect as she not only caught me in a flattering light (always appreciated), but also managed to capture the sense of warmth and personality that is critical for that kind of photo.
When I needed some product shots for a new venture I had no hesitation in contacting her. Once again she has over delivered. Not only do the products look brilliant, but the way she has ‘set’ them gave them a look I could never have thought of.
Dealing with Annmarie is a complete pleasure. Her professionalism, talent and warm personality make the whole experience effortless and fun, and the results are more than what I asked for.

What can I say they are completely perfect and the books are so much better than I thought they were going to be. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful reminder of our wedding day. They are better than I could have imagined.
I love the framing and the use of focus, everyone that has seen them loves them. There are so many shots that you captured at the perfect moment, the posed ones are great, but the moments you captured were amazing, the looks on our faces and those around us too ... unique photos of a unique day, thank you so very much.
