BRAUNTON, NORTH DEVON
Because they’re so much more than “just a dog”.
They’re your shadow. Your comfort. Your family.
At Unique + United, we create relaxed photographic experiences and beautiful bespoke artwork that celebrates the relationship you share with your dog — so you can see, feel and remember what they mean to you every day.
We’re currently inviting a small number of dog lovers to apply for a Dog Portrait Experience, including £300 towards artwork for your home.
Your experience takes place at our studio in Braunton, North Devon.
YOUR STORY STARTS HERE
We’d love to hear about them.
Tell us a little about your dog and what makes your relationship special. One of our small team will usually give you a quick call the same day or next working day to explain how the experience works and see whether it feels right for you.
Applying doesn’t commit you to booking anything.
FOR PEOPLE WHOSE DOG REALLY IS FAMILY
It isn’t really about having beautiful photographs of your dog.
It’s about creating something that reminds you how being loved by them feels. Something you’ll walk past in your home every day. Something that becomes more precious as the years go by.
THE DESTINATION
Beautiful now. Priceless later.
The photographs we create aren’t designed to disappear onto a phone or be forgotten on a computer.
We’ll help you choose the photographs that mean the most to you and turn them into finished artwork created specifically for your home.
The result isn’t simply something that looks beautiful on the wall. It’s something that makes you feel something every time you see it.
“Having felt nervous and not particularly looking forward to being photographed, I had the best time!”
MARY & EDDY
You don’t need a perfectly behaved dog.
And you certainly don’t need to feel comfortable in front of a camera. We’ve photographed hundreds of dogs and their humans — from wonderfully obedient to gloriously chaotic. Your job is simply to come along and enjoy being with them.
YOUR PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
We guide you through everything.
1
It starts with your story.
Before your session, we’ll get to know you and your dog — who they are, what you love most about them and what you want the photographs to capture.
2
Then you simply enjoy being together.
Your studio session is relaxed, unhurried and fun. We guide you throughout, including dogs who don’t sit still and humans who would rather hide behind them.
3
Then comes our favourite part.
You’ll return for your Cinematic Premiere and Design Consultation, see your photographs properly for the first time and explore how they could live as artwork in your home.
Your invitation includes £300 towards your artwork.
If you fall in love with additional photographs or larger artwork, you’ll have the opportunity to create more — but there is absolutely no need to make any decisions until you’ve seen your photographs.
FOR COUPLES WHOSE DOG IS PART OF EVERYTHING
Sometimes, they’re not part of the family. They are the family.
For so many couples we photograph, their dog has been there through the chapters of their life together — the walks, the weekends away, the difficult days, the ridiculous moments and the quiet evenings on the sofa.
They become part of the story of who you are together.
“I wanted some fabulous photographs of Graham and I with our fur babies… and boy have we got them! Huge thanks for doing something so special for us. It has been an absolutely amazing experience.”
SARAH, GRAHAM, PHOEBE & NELLIE
“It doesn’t matter what we look like in 10 years’ time. We will always treasure that connection and intimacy that we had at that particular moment… it’s priceless, timeless.”
PAUL, LOUISE, WILL, BETH, ARCHIE & HARRY
The photographs don’t become less valuable with time. They become more valuable.
WHY THIS MATTERS
“Yesterday, when I wasn’t sure I’d ever see his big happy face again, all I was able to find comfort in was the fact we had those photos taken with you.”
BEA & D.A.R.T
THE EMOTIONAL PAYOFF
One day, this will mean even more than it does today.
Most people first come to us because they love their dog and want beautiful photographs. Afterwards, they often tell us the experience gave them something they weren’t expecting: a chance to stop, celebrate the relationship and create artwork that brings those feelings back every single day.
What happens now?
Tell us about your dog.
Complete the short form and tell us a little about what makes your relationship special.
Expect to hear from us.
Jo or Lou will usually give you a quick call the same day or next working day to hear more and explain how everything works.
Choose your date.
If we’re both excited to go ahead, we’ll offer you our next available portrait dates at the Braunton studio.
Enjoy the experience.
We’ll guide you through the session, your Cinematic Premiere and turning the photographs you love into artwork for your home.
YOU’RE IN SAFE HANDS
We understand that the best dog photographs aren’t really about what your dog looks like.
They’re about who they are to you.
We’re a small team based in Braunton, North Devon. Some dogs are confident. Some are nervous. Some sit beautifully. Some haven’t sat still since 2017. Some humans love being photographed. Quite a few would rather hide behind their dog.
That’s all completely fine. Our job is to listen, understand what matters to you and make the whole experience feel easy, relaxed and enjoyable.
Jamie, Karla, Jo & Lou
Team Unique + United
A few things people often ask us.
Where are you based?
Our studio is in Braunton, North Devon. Your portrait session and Design Consultation both take place here.
Does my dog need to be well trained?
Not at all. We’ve photographed hundreds of dogs with every possible personality. Leads, treats, noises, patience and a few tricks of our own take care of the rest.
I’m nervous about being photographed.
Many of our clients initially tell us the same thing. We’ll guide you throughout, and the photographs showing the relationship between you and your dog often become some of the most meaningful.
What does the £300 artwork credit mean?
Your invitation includes £300 to use towards finished artwork at your Design Consultation. If you decide you’d like additional or larger artwork, you’re welcome to invest more. You don’t need to decide anything before you’ve seen your photographs.
Is there anything to pay to book?
A £50 refundable booking deposit secures your portrait date. This is returned to you at your Design Consultation.
NO SPECIAL OCCASION REQUIRED
If they mean the world to you, tell us about them.
You don’t need a birthday. You don’t need an anniversary. You don’t need a special occasion. Loving them is reason enough.
