My grandad Roy Offley was passionate about photography, his journey started during WW2 where he was in the RAF serving in the mobile field photographic section until the end of the war.  A short time after this Roy established his photography business ‘R. L. Offley – High Class Photography’.  

One of the oldest price lists we have of my grandads advertises ‘flashlight photography’ & ‘photographs hand coloured in oils’  and an emphasises on his aim in quality (still a philosophy we have today!)

A love of photography is something that grandad passed on to my mother, Alison, who after working with her father for many years eventually took over the business in the 1980’s and became a award winning wedding photographer.

I learnt my profession with my mother mentoring over many years, with me specialising in photographing candid  reportage style images at the weddings, winning awards and being featured in Cosmopolitan Brides before eventually setting up the portrait studio with Ian my husband.
