BLESSED to be a photographer

Peter Rosen-Lane

What I do might be the missing ingredient for your unique and most special event. Each photograph I take is crafted to tell a story beautifully, filled with poetry and magic, resonating true for years to come. My photographs are always your photographs because I capture your genuine, spontaneous emotions, transforming them into some of your most cherished memories.

As you may have guessed by now, to me, photography is less than a profession and more of a passion. I am passionate about aiming higher with every photograph I make. I am passionate about making my clients feel even more grateful and happy with their photographs. And I am truly blessed because my clients turn to friends for life.

I trust you are now reading this page because you have looked at my photographs and liked what you saw. Be certain that I will do my very best so that your photographs will tell your story with even more poetry and magic for you. Also, be certain that I will make every effort to run a smooth and unobtrusive photographic operation using the leading professional tools of my extensive experience and skills.

Ring ring! “You’ve been referred to as the best wedding photographer in the UK…”. I often hear this, and I’m grateful to those who love and refer me. I think labelling and categorising are wrong. I’m a photographer who shoots weddings with heart and passion. I use my fashion and glamour experience skills to turn my brides into goddesses.

I love to shoot everything that demands creativity and love. Pets, children, jewellery, architecture, fine art, and portraits. Everything! And as you can see in the portfolio, I do it well and enjoy every bit.

And pets – how I adore them! We can learn so much from their unconditional love, which I strive to unveil through my lens.

Fine art photography? Yes! My newest love, passion, and inspiration. My wife, Petya Abraham, put the bar high, and I enjoy discussing, planning and managing new fine art projects with her every minute. As a psychologist, I like implementing and expressing psychological phenomena, discoveries, and awareness of social issues through my fine art projects.

I started my career as a glamour and beauty photographer. Erotic, burlesque, pin-up, nude, beauty, fashion and glamour will run in my blood until my heart beats.

Black and white photography? Absolutely! There’s a timeless elegance in monochrome that I cherish deeply.

With over 18 years in the field, my fashion and destination wedding photographer career has spanned the globe – from the USA to Spain, Russia, and the UK. I’ve embraced new cultures and languages along the way. Give me a call, and let me surprise you with my accents!

I very much look forward to becoming your favourite and treasured personal photographer.

Petya Abraham-Lane

Petya is the driving force behind Peter Lane Studios. She transformed Peter Lane Photography into the multifaceted Peter Lane Studios, expanding our offerings to include cinematography, fine art, newborn photography, and much more. In 2022, we revitalised our business as a family-focused photography and cinematography studio, with Petya as both its heart and inspiration, for me and our clients.

In 2024, Petya Abraham-Lane participated in several exhibitions and received multiple awards for her video and fine art projects. She was honoured as a finalist by the Association of Photographers (AOP) of Great Britain, and her fine art project “Fall In” was published in the prestigious AOP book, now available for purchase in our online store. Her acclaimed video project “Time Grinder” also gained significant recognition.

As the company’s engine, Petya manages our team of assistants, photographers, and videographers while expertly coordinating with vendors and handling social media, marketing, and client communications. She also captures the essence of diverse cultural events, from Jewish Simchas to Muslim female engagements and weddings, excelling in roles where a female photographer is indispensable.

Petya is a true blessing to our clients, our team, and me personally.

Who is our client?

Everyone who loves and appreciates photography & cinematography.

We shoot and film local and destination weddings, corporate, celebrities, and politicians like Mr. Boris Johnson, Mr. Zak Goldsmith, Mr. Jeremy Hunt, Mr. Sajid Javid, Mr. David Borrow, Mr. Kenneth Clark, the Royal family members of Qatar and many others.

What remains unseen due to privacy and exclusive rights is our extensive portfolio featuring football players and celebrities. Our collaboration extends to prestigious private concierge services such as Quintessentially, Annabel’s Club, and other elite private clubs, handling both private and commercial projects. This privileged partnership underscores our capacity to handle high-profile assignments with the utmost discretion and bespoke service, ensuring all photography needs are met with exceptional quality and confidentiality.

What Makes Us Mortal?

Petya: Morning coffee, a glass of red wine, gym sessions, the simple joy of flowers and gardening, the beauty of poetry and science fiction, playing the guitar, the soothing melodies of smooth jazz, a love for cats, and writing enchanting children’s fairy tales.

Peter: A fine glass of red wine, coffee exclusively before bed (to ensure restful sleep), gym workouts, running, swimming, smooth jazz, a love for dogs, cats, and fish, immersing myself in psychology books, delving into medical and health research, and crafting and preparing health-focused books and podcasts.

What Makes Our Hearts Beat?

Petya: My daughter, cinematic films that resonate deeply (Wings of Desire or Leon), books and authors that spark inspiration (Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov), art, and photography. I love exploring all possible forms and media to express my vision in creative projects, always drawn to the elegance of simplicity and minimalism.

Peter: My daughter, old movies like The Shawshank Redemption or Beautiful Woman, fine art, and photography. I enjoy working with fisheye lenses to create exaggerated perspectives, exploring symbolism and contrasts, uncovering hidden meanings, and developing expansive panoramic projects.

Peter Lane Studios

Peter Lane Studios represents the natural evolution of Peter Lane Photography. With years of experience in the industry, we have built and nurtured a talented team of photographers, videographers, retouchers, editors, and designers. We’ve successfully launched new ventures, such as pet photography and newborn photography, further enriching our portfolio.

Our collective skills allow us to offer clients a comprehensive one-stop solution for a broad range of visual media. This ensures consistent quality, exceptional results, and a seamless experience for every project we undertake.

For the last few years, we turned to a visual arts agency after implementing the Standard Collections (info on our wedding photography page ) as an alternative to the Premium Collections, so our Standard photography is better than the Standard for the country, and the Premium spoils the picky & fussy clients.

 

Peter Lane Associates Team

Petya and I handle a maximum of 20 Premium Collection weddings each year, including destination weddings. This allows us to deliver an exclusive experience with premium service, extended time, meticulous editing, and an extra touch of care, backed by over 15 years of international expertise.

In 2015, we expanded by introducing the Peter Lane Associate Photographers & Videographers team alongside our Standard Collections. This initiative was created to offer more affordable options in response to the high volume of enquiries we had to decline for years. It also provides a platform for ambitious young photographers and videographers, supporting their growth through education, guidance, and opportunities to prove their talent.

Peter Lane Cinematography

The videography department was born together with our old Peter Lane Photography, by request from our clients, asking to match our style in moving images. We trained and incorporated experienced professional videographers & filmmakers. Now we’re proud to be one of the most respected and recommended cinematic storytellers in London and not only. You can see samples in our videography section.
