Unique + United Photographic Experiences

Unique + United Photographic Experiences are a Barnstaple-based family photography studio dedicated to helping families reconnect, celebrate and preserve the moments that matter most. We specialise in relaxed, studio-led family photoshoots that feel more like a day out than a formal session — designed to capture genuine connection, personality and the simple, tender moments you’ll want to keep forever. Why choose Unique + United? Our work is more than photographs: it’s a carefully designed experience that leads to beautiful, bespoke artwork for your home. Founded by Jamie — whose love of photographing the everyday began at university and has since led to an international career — the studio brings together skill, empathy and craft. We focus on creating portraits that empower children, honour family bonds and make your house feel more like a home. What makes our approach special is our emphasis on discovery and design as much as photography. Before your session we take time to learn what you value most about your family and where you’d love to display your portraits. During the 1–2 hour photographic experience in our North Devon studio we work naturally and playfully so everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — can be themselves. After the shoot you’ll return for a cinematic premiere: a relaxed, cinematic reveal of your portraits followed by a personal Design/Ordering Appointment where our consultants help you choose and customise heirloom-quality artwork. How we work with you is warm, planned and consultative. From pre-session calls and styling guidance to the final hang of your finished pieces, our team supports you at every step. We create a calm atmosphere that makes even camera-shy family members feel at ease, capturing the laughter, tenderness and little gestures that define your family. At Unique + United we believe photographs should do more than record — they should inspire. Our signature photographic experiences and custom fine-art solutions let you see, feel and celebrate the best in your family every day. If you’re in Barnstaple or across North Devon and want portraits that truly matter, schedule a call and start your photographic experience with us.
