About our studio

Welcome to River Waldo Photo Studio, where we capture life’s most precious moments with empathy and passion. Based in Wolverhampton and serving the wider West Midlands, we specialise in creating stunning, high-quality images for families, actors, models, pets, registry weddings and graduates. Whether you need professional headshots, timeless family portraits, or a graduation shoot that celebrates your achievements, we bring your vision to life with expertise and care.

With over five years of experience, we understand that a great photoshoot is about more than just standing in front of a camera—it’s about feeling comfortable, confident, and excited to capture the essence of who you are. That’s why our sessions are designed to be relaxed and enjoyable, ensuring every client leaves with beautiful images they’ll cherish forever.

At River Waldo, we offer photography not only in our professional studio but also outdoors or at a location of your choice. Whether it’s a picturesque park, your home, or an urban backdrop that speaks to your style, we adapt to your needs to create stunning imagery in any setting.

What to expect from a River Waldo photoshoot

Each session lasts a minimum of one hour, allowing ample time to explore different poses, styles, and moods. We make sure you have at least 40 images to choose from, capturing a range of expressions and moments that truly reflect your personality. To make the experience even more convenient, we ask you to select your favourite images online, so there’s no pressure—just a seamless process designed to suit your preferences.

At River Waldo Photo Studio, photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about telling a story, preserving memories, and creating images that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Whether it’s an intimate family portrait, a dynamic headshot, or a creative portfolio shoot, we’re here to make sure your vision becomes reality.

Book your session today and let us capture the moments that matter most.

Meet the photographer.

Hello, I’m Alex, the photographer behind River Waldo photo studio. Photography has been a lifelong pursuit, and for the past six years, I’ve worked professionally, helping clients bring their ideas to life through striking, meaningful images.

Whether we’re working in the studio or on location, my approach is calm and collaborative—designed to help you feel relaxed and confident. I take a wide range of shots during each session, knowing that the most powerful moments often happen when you’re not thinking about the camera. It’s in those unguarded seconds—when a thought crosses your mind or a feeling surfaces—that the real magic happens. Those are the images that speak volumes. I’m here to help you shape your vision, whether it’s a personal milestone or a creative concept. Let’s work together to create something that truly reflects you.

What we do for you

Our vision is to make you feel fabulous about yourself, to turn your image of yourself into reality, and to trust into print what you want the world to see.
