What is this service?

Perfect portraits for any occasion

A pretty young woman with auburn hair is sat in the window frame of a derelict miner's shelter. She is wearing a turquoise top and black trousers. She has her red rucksack by her feet. She's having a great time on a Lake District Portrait Experience provided by professional photographer, Al Topping Photos & Film.

Whether you're looking to update your family gallery, mark an important event or propose to a special someone, I've got you covered!

I provide professional portrait photography sessions for all of those special moments where a phone resting on a rock just won't do.

Head to the spots you'll not read about in magazines or find online and those which ensure you get the images you really want.

Need something discrete? 

Have your proposal without the third wheel

If you're looking for a service to capture a romantic proposal in the Lake District, look no further.

I can provide you with a range of discrete services hiding in plain sight or from a covert vantage point of your choosing. In the past, I've been a paddler on a lake, a tour guide and an inconspicuous landscape photographer to throw suspecting brides and grooms off the scent of a well orchestrated proposal.

I can't speak highly enough about the service provided by Al. We were celebrating a special family occasion and spent a few hours in Al's company. Afterwards, he consulted patiently with me about our album and the final result was stunning. Very impressive.
