“Nikki is always a calm professional and a most creative calm pair of hands. We’re already looking forward to Christmas as a result!”

For hospitality businesses yet to start thinking about Christmas, now is the perfect reminder that the countdown is well and truly on. Planning ahead gives you the greatest choice of products, more flexibility and less stress before the festive rush begins.
And although it was July we well and truly did Christmas that day!

My client team at Stratton House Hotel are way ahead of the curve and we planned and photographed the already researched and creatively collated the Christmas interiors in July!
From a festive evening with your nearest and dearest in their private dining room, a works Christmas party, or an elegant Christmas afternoon tea; they had it all covered. And yes the roaring log burner you see in the festive afternoon tea in the lounge part of this blog is real and yes the temperature was in the high thirties that day!

Perfectly decorated by Hallie with clear colour themes for the different areas.

A: “Nikki is our go to photographer for interiors images and also an expert in her field. For us it was an obvious choice to commission her once again for this work. And she also absolutely LOVES Christmas! “


“Nikki is an expert in her field. She understands lighting like no one else.”




A: “Once all of the trees were up and the rooms decorated, it was great to see all of our hard work come to life through Nikki’s camera.
She captured the twinkling lights and the warmth of the festive season. You can really imagine yourself sitting down to a festive afternoon tea, as a guest coming to dine in our private dining room, or as a team member of a business holding their staff or client Christmas event here.
The hotel came alive with the feel of Christmas even though its was mid-July and one of the hottest days on record here in the UK!”


“She also sees the details that immediately transport you into the room you are seeing in her final images. You really can imagine yourself there. Its really quite some skill she has.”





A: “Although we were in the early days of summer when we were planning this, we were mindful that our guests and business events teams plan a long way in advance to ensure that their Christmas celebrations are perfect.
And therefore right in the middle of the hottest summer on record in the UK and one of the numerous heatwaves we had, Nikki came to take the interiors images of Stratton House Hotel all dressed for Christmas!
The images will be used both on and offline, including on social media over the coming months to promote Stratton House Hotel as the perfect choice for Christmas 2026.”


“We commission Nikki time after time for our imagery and she is very much an extension of our team. She talks about ‘being in it for the long term’ and she really means that.”



“Battling the heat to photograph Christmas in July would have tested anyone’s temperament, even the most professional of professionals! And Nikki being the professional that she is never lost sight of the end goal even when the temperatures were quite frankly ridiculous!”

She somehow managed to create images that enable you to really feel how Stratton House Hotel feels over the Christmas period even though it was in the high thirties in the shade that day!
