Mary Evans Picture Library licences images for commercial use in books, newspapers, magazines, adverts, web sites and all manner of other media. Our images cover a broad range of topics and subject areas which, although coming under the umbrella classification of history, in fact extend far beyond most people's perception of historical pictures. Our material has traditionally been used in an editorial context to illustrate news stories, magazine articles and the like, but today it is increasingly sought by creatives looking for different and stimulating imagery around which to base advertising campaigns or commercial design projects. We offer a full digital online service, enabling you to search, order and download images via the internet. Unlike some of our larger competitors, however, we still offer a personal, professional picture research service, for those occasions when you can't find what you're looking for, don't have time to search yourself, or are not sure what it is you are looking for. Every time you call Mary Evans Picture Library, the phone is answered by an experienced and knowledgeable picture researcher. We currently have more than half a million images online, most of which are scanned in high resolution and available for immediate download. We continue to add new images at a rate of 500 each week. If you don't find what you're looking for, the chances are we have it in our archives, so be sure to contact us. [read more]

Hello, I am a creative wedding photographer based in London with 20 years of experience. My work has appeared in The Times, The Observer, Time Out, Radio Times and Record Collector magazine. I have a wealth of experience of shooting at some of our finest wedding venues including the V&A, Blenheim Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral, The Brompton Oratory, The V&A, The Queen’s House and The Natural History Museum. I am also an accredited photographer to Syon House, The Royal Society of Arts, Stationer’s Hall, The Horniman Museum and The Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich. Each wedding assignment is planned in meticulous detail with the couple, including a pre-wedding visit to the venue; this ensures maximum creativity on the day – at both the wedding ceremony and during the celebrations afterwards. Capturing the magic of your wedding day in all its glory is outlined in more detail on the services page; on the portfolio page you will find examples of recent weddings and there is plenty of other useful information throughout the website to help you plan for a joyous and memorable occasion.

This echoes the original intentions of the Carnegie library building we occupy – to enrich communities by nurturing their creativity [read more]
