F & J Hare

F & J Hare is a British photography brand, credited in public records as "F & J Hare Photographers." It is associated with Harrow in Greater London and was established in 1986. The brand built a reputation as a family-run photography business, and its photographers and traditions were later incorporated into Photopro Photography Services, a wedding and portrait photography specialist based in the Greater London and Home Counties area. The combined operation, trading through the Photopro Photography Services website, presents itself as a specialist in wedding photography while also covering portraits, commercial and PR work, golf days, schools and play groups. It markets itself on affordability — "Put yourself in the picture, not out of pocket" — and on continuity of quality, explicitly integrating the family traditions of F & J Hare with the Photopro brand. The business is based in Denham Village, Uxbridge, Buckinghamshire, and shoots nationwide across the United Kingdom. As a small private photography business rather than a listed company, F & J Hare does not have publicly traded shares or a large corporate parent. Its identity is tied to its photographic services and its local reputation in the London and Home Counties market. The brand remains active through the Photopro Photography Services operation, which continues to use the F & J Hare name and photographic heritage as part of its offering.

F & J Hare was established in 1986 as a photography business based in Harrow, Greater London, and became known publicly as "F & J Hare Photographers." Over the following decades it built a reputation as a family-run photography service, particularly in wedding photography, serving clients in Greater London and the surrounding Home Counties. By the 2020s the brand had been incorporated into Photopro Photography Services, a photography business operating from Denham Village, Uxbridge, Buckinghamshire. According to the Photopro Photography Services website, the combined operation employs some of F & J Hare's photographers and continues the quality and consistency of the original photography, explicitly integrating the family traditions of F & J Hare with those of Photopro Photography Services. The website states that the business has been established since 1986 (with a separate reference to 1987) and describes itself as specialists in wedding photography with prices to suit all budgets. The merged brand offers wedding, portrait, commercial and PR photography, along with golf days, schools and play groups. It serves Greater London and the Home Counties while shooting nationwide, and provides online galleries for clients to view and order wedding, portrait or event photos by prior arrangement and password. The F & J Hare name therefore survives as part of a small, privately held British photography operation rather than as an independent company.
