A pro brings experience, skill, and an eye for detail that goes way beyond just taking a picture – we’re talking about light, composition, timing, and creativity that elevate a simple photo to something memorable and powerful to best represent you or your company or brand.
Whether it’s for a corporate event, new product launch, or business branding images, a professional knows how to make each shot count. Plus, you’ll end up with quality photos that last and do justice to the moment, which is what it’s all about. So much of what we do as pros isn’t just about the technical stuff; it’s about understanding the story you want to tell and bringing that to life in a way that you’ll love looking back on. Get in touch to discuss how I can help you.

Fantastic professional headshots by a top photographer. Paul was really responsive and easy to work with, from the start he knew of the best locations in Bristol and understood what I wanted to achieve. I was extremely pleased with the photographs captured, the shoot was relaxed and the final edited images are amazing quality. Paul is a highly skilled photographer, I'd recommend him to others who are looking to have headshots or personal profile photographs taken, especially those looking for a photographer in Bristol and surrounding areas.

Paul was really easy to work with - he gave lots of guidance and very quickly collated our company headshots together and edited them to a high standard. Would highly recommend! Chris Frampton2024-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was one of the Marketing and Design team at MediaWave, when we discovered he was brilliant with a camera! and he became our in house photographer soon after taking pictures at many of our Filming events which I'm only now starting to appreciate Ali Robertson2024-10-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE We asked Paul to photograph a small theatre show. There were two shoots: six months before the show for advance publicity purposes and the show itself. Both were exemplary. Paul was quick, professional and thorough and the results were outstanding. He was a good-humoured dream on both days, which helped the shoots go well, and was very happy to turn around the jobs quickly and to make selections and edits that we asked for. We will work with him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. John Coe2024-10-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PHOTOGRAPHER. I’ve worked with Paul on a variety of jobs for my clients and publications. He has a great eye for creative photography and always comes up with brilliant ideas. I like how he gets to know his subject and surroundings and tells a great story with his photos. Jessica2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul joined our event to take professional headshots of a large group of new joiners. He quickly set up and created a seamless process to photograph a large number of individuals in a short space of time. He turned the photos around within two weeks and kept us up to date throughout the process. Thanks Paul! Lupe Cabrera Rodriguez2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Paul Groom during our company weekend, and I can’t say enough good things about him! Not only is he a lovely person to work with, but he also has an incredible eye for capturing just the right moments. Every photo truly reflected the energy and spirit of the event. He also created a recap video of the entire weekend, and in one word—it was AMAZING! The way he pieced everything together was nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful way to relive these memories! Anne Johnson2024-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul did a short notice video editing job for me, expertly splicing together footage from software demos and adding creative graphics. We got a more than decent piece of marketing collateral out of some very basic raw material! 10/10 would recommend Paul Groom Photography.
With significant effort, time, and resources invested in organising an event, it’s essential to ensure it is captured professionally. I offer affordable dedicated photography services to document every aspect of your event, from keynote speakers to networking moments. I also provide press-ready images of award ceremonies, team-building activities, and other key highlights, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
As a photographer in Bristol, I am equipped with a range of specialised architectural photography lenses, enabling me to capture dynamic wide-angle shots of properties and buildings, as well as intricate close-up details and features you’d like to showcase. If desired, I can also incorporate people into the images to add context and energy, creating visuals tailored entirely to your preferences.
I frequently work on construction sites in Bristol and the surrounding areas, documenting both ongoing progress and significant milestones, such as topping-out ceremonies. Additionally, I return to capture polished, high-quality images of the completed project, ideal for use in social media campaigns and promotional materials.
Companies trust me to deliver prompt and dependable press and lifestyle photography. For instance, I can photograph a corporate group shot at 10 a.m., and it can be ready for inclusion in a press release within an hour or two. Additionally, I collaborate with magazines and publications on case studies, articles, and a variety of other projects.
I thoroughly enjoy working in my studio, particularly on product photography. Many of my clients either request that I bring my portable studio setup to their offices or send their products for me to photograph in my dedicated mini studio. I can tailor the shoot to suit your requirements, incorporating a variety of backgrounds and styles to achieve the desired look and feel.
An engaging and rewarding aspect of my work is photographing television productions for companies like Channel 4 and the BBC. I often work on set for programmes such as First Dates, Open House, Handmade, and many others. Whether the programmes are filmed in Bristol, Herefordshire, the Brecon Beacons, or further afield, I’m always happy to travel wherever needed to capture the perfect shots

I don’t mind whether I work as a B2B or B2C photographer – to me, it’s all about taking great pictures / video and achieving the goals of each project. Whether I’m working with businesses to capture professional images that represent their brand or with individuals to create personal, meaningful portraits, the process remains the same. I focus on understanding what my clients need and delivering photographs that meet those aims, regardless of whether the client is a corporation or a consumer. It’s the variety and the people that make the work rewarding.

For shorter sessions, ideal for capturing just a few essential shots for an individual, you can expect to pay less than a full or half-day package. These shorter sessions are perfect if you need a handful of high-quality images for social media, websites, or personal use. However, if you’re looking for more extensive coverage - such as an event, multiple corporate portraits, a full branding shoot, or a project with multiple settings and setups then half-day or full-day options provide flexibility and allow the photographer to capture a wide range of photos.
Pricing also takes into account the equipment and resources required to deliver professional results. Photographers invest in high-end cameras, lenses, lighting, and editing software, along with other expenses like insurance, website hosting, and training. Editing, an often overlooked but crucial step, also adds to the final cost. Basic edits might be included, but more detailed retouching and enhancement can come as an extra option, ensuring every image looks polished and exactly as you want.
Ultimately, how much you should expect to pay depends on the type of session, the extent of editing, and the experience of the photographer. I recommend browsing my website’s prices page for more details, and feel free to reach out with any questions to find the right option for your project!
