London Dog Photographer | Dulwich Puppy Photoshoot
Couple & Puppy Photo Session in Peckham Rye Park, London
Work doesn’t get much better than this! Photographing an adorable 6 month old cavapoo puppy, on a warm spring sunny day, in London’s Peckham Rye Park. I was in heaven! As a London dog photographer, sessions like these are exactly why I love what I do - meeting great people, spending time with adorable puppies, visiting beautiful London parks. This couple and their puppy made the session such a pleasure, and Peckham Rye Park provided the perfect natural backdrop for a couple and puppy photo session filled with warmth and connection.
Puppy Photography Gift Vouchers
This lovely couple received a dog photography gift voucher from a family member, which is always such a meaningful and personal present. During our initial correspondance, the owner of the puppy sent me a photo to show me what kind of dog they had. It was instant cuteness overload! I was very excited to do the photoshoot and meet the puppy (and the couple of course!). Gift vouchers for puppy photography are a wonderful way to capture those fleeting early months, when dogs grow and change so quickly.
Peckham Rye Park Puppy and Couple Photo Session
After chatting about possible locations, we settled on Peckham Rye Park, a beautiful and diverse park in East Dulwich in London. It offers an amazing variety of backdrops in one place, from formal gardens, to open spaces, intimate nooks and even a small japanese garden - perfect for pet photography! This makes Peckahm Rye park the perfect place for puppy photography, dog photography, couple and puppy photography and family photography. The variety allows for a relaxed walk-and-shoot approach, keeping the session fun and natural rather than posed or rushed. I worked in this park many times, and it always surprises me with new wonderful places.
London Puppy Photography
The puppy was only 6 months old at the time of the photoshoot and still very much a puppy - playful, curious, and easily distracted (in the best way!). For puppies and young dogs, I usually recommend a 1h dog photo session. Puppies’ attention spans and physical endurance are limited, so shorter sessions tend to work best. I work at a quicker pace, limit the number of setups, and focus on capturing genuine moments rather than forcing too much variety. For a one-hour puppy photo session, clients typically receive a gallery of 25-30 images (rather than 60-100 from a two hour session). In my experience, this approach keeps puppies relaxed and owners happy, resulting in more natural, expressive photographs.

East London Dog Photographer | A Relaxed Couple & Dog Photo Session
Natural, heartfelt storytelling with London Dog Photographer Mina Milanovic
These photos make me smile every time I look at them. They were taken during a couple & dog photoshoot in East London, back in November, with the sweetest little dachshund who trotted through the session as if he’d been modelling his whole life. As a London Dog Photographer, I’m lucky to witness moments like these where love, connection and the quirks of a much-adored pup come together to create something genuinely special.
An Outdoor Autumn Pet Photography Session
Autumn in London has a magic that is impossible to describe without living it—the kind of magic that reveals itself slowly, like the warmth of a coat you’ve just pulled from the radiator. This day was no exception. The sky kept threatening rain, brooding and dramatic, but somehow we escaped every drop. Instead, the sun pushed through for small bursts of golden light that illuminated the park in rich amber tones.
The air had that crispness I secretly love. I might be a summer girl at heart, but autumn always wins me over with its warm colour palette, gentle textures and quiet atmosphere. Perfect conditions for natural dog photography, especially when a little dachshund is happily leading the way.
We met in a local East London park and set off for a loop around the paths. Moving together like this is my favourite way to photograph couples and their dogs. No stiff posing, no pressure—just a gentle walk, stopping whenever the scenery, the light or the pup’s antics gave us a moment worth capturing.
There were fallen leaves that crunched under tiny paws, tangled branches that framed the couple beautifully, and long grass that turned golden as the sun slipped through. The frames we made there feel warm and real, the kind of photographs that look like memories rather than staged portraits.
Indoors for Cosy Dog Photography
After we’d had our fill of the cold—or rather, after the dachshund announced it was time—we headed back to their home for the final part of the session. Indoor pet photography has a softness of its own, especially when the warmth of home wraps around everyone.
We captured snuggles on the sofa, the kind where a sleepy dog melts into their humans, the kind you wish you could bottle up forever. These quieter, slower frames often become favourites because they feel honest and familiar. They’re a little reminder of what everyday love really looks like.
This particular photo session was a birthday gift, which made it even more special. Photography has a way of becoming a keepsake that only grows in meaning over time, especially when a beloved pet is part of the family story.
Why Choose a Couple & Dog Photoshoot in London
London is full of hidden corners, atmospheric parks and cosy indoor spaces that lend themselves beautifully to storytelling pet photography. Whether we’re wandering through a leafy park in East London or capturing gentle moments at home, the aim is always the same: to create photographs that feel like you, your relationship and the bond you have with your dog.
Couple & Dog Photography in London is not about posing for the camera; it’s about documenting joy, connection and the small moments you don’t even realise you’ll want to remember.

Dog Photography in Weybridge, Surrey
This couple received one of my pet photography gift vouchers as a going away present from work colleagues. The couple wanted to have some photos of their three dogs in their home before relocating to a different country.
The dogs were all different breeds and looked like a gang of friends from Lady and the Tramp, so I wanted to photograph them both as a group and individually. I also wanted to capture them with their owners.
When photographing multiple dogs, it is worth considering how one could frame prints so I positioned each individual dog for their portrait shot in the same place. That way, if the owner wants to frame their portraits, there will be consistency between different shots.
My favourite photo from this dog photo shoot is of all the dogs running towards the camera. I love the expressions on their faces, each of them revealing a little bit of the dog’s personality.
If you are looking for a dog related present for a colleague, friend or family member, perhaps you would like to consider purchasing one of my one hour or two hour pet photography gift vouchers. The vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase and they make a really unique present. Visit my gift vouchers page or get in touch for more info.
