Opening Times and Booking
Because UK-Photo is a photographic studio rather than a shop, it is better to book an appointment as we may be busy with other customers who are having a photo session that may take 30 minutes to an hour.
Another reason for booking your appointment, is that we are sometimes called upon to shoot weddings, events and other location work, so we cannot be in the studio all of the time.
You can telephone us to make a booking at any time of the day (mornings or evenings). If we do not answer your call straight away, just leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Out-of-hours booking
There is a certain amount of flexibility when booking your appointment. If you cannot make it to our studio during the opening times indicated on the right, just telephone us and we can try to arrange a convenient time for you. There is no additional charge for out-of-hours booking, though we cannot guarantee that it will be available every day.Booking Online
If you require an identity photo immediately, it is best to telephone. Otherwise you can use the booking form on this page.The booking form is ideal for next-day or any future date's booking. When we receive your booking request we will contact you to confirm your booking time or, if necessary, arrange an alternative time slot.
