My Blog bio picture
  • Welcome!

    I'm Victoria and I photograph people.

    I take photographs that are full of character. Capturing special moments.

    I make the experience enjoyable for all involved. That's really important.

    Portraits, weddings and events are my speciality - anything that involves people!

    I'm based in Hither Green, South East London, but happy to travel.

    I hope this first picture makes you smile!

Photo shoot special summer offer

We’ve had at least three days of sun, so I think summer must officially be here!

To celebrate I’m launching a special summer offer.

For £250 I am offering a family photo shoot and a beautiful 26 page photo book of your favourite photographs from the shoot.

This usually costs £350 and so you save £100.

The offer is valid until 30 August for families within the M25. For more details about my portrait shoots please see the portraits page above.

To book your photo shoot please call me on 07748 886354 or email victoria@victoriacookson.com

I thought these photos would be perfect to accompany the special offer launch. Every summer Olivia and Rory come from Seattle, USA to visit their Grandma in South East London and I take photographs to record their visit.

Family photo shoot in Twickenham

When I look back at these photos I can still hear Zoe’s infectious laugh. In fact we were all laughing so much it was quite hard to keep the camera still!!

Growing up

I’ve been lucky enough to take photographs of Isabel every few months since she has been born. I thought I’d have a look back today and do a little slideshow to show how she has changed. I really can’t believe how she has turned from a tiny baby into a little girl in such a short space of time. It’ll soon be time for her second birthday photos when I’m sure she’ll have changed even more. It’s a real privilege to be creating a record for her of each stage of her life.

Portrait session in South East London

Iris was an absolute delight to photograph and we had a fantastic morning. She hadn’t met me before, so we started by reading some of her favourite books inside so she could get to know me. The rest of the morning was spent having fun in the garden. This session was organised by her Grandma as a surprise for her Mum and luckily Iris didn’t spill the beans!

Wedding at Deans Place, Alfriston

As I sit here in my winter jumper, it seems hard to imagine that just a few weeks ago I was photographing this beautiful wedding – outside! Lynn and Bob were blessed with glorious weather and a great day was enjoyed by all. Below is just a taster of their photographs. Guests can view more here.
