The Lion’s Den – Café Photography
Proudly Local, Fiercely Independent cafés in Haslemere & Midhurst
At Sequoia Studios, some of our most rewarding projects come from the most unexpected places, like a simple Facebook post.
We had shared a casual call-out on social media, inviting local cafés to get in touch if they needed high-quality food photography. Among the first to respond was the team behind The Lion’s Den, a proudly local, fiercely independent café located at Weyhill in Haslemere. We were instantly drawn to their ethos: great food made with heart, welcoming everyone, whether you’re after a hearty breakfast or a plant-based lunch with flair.

Food & Drink Photography in Haslemere
We arranged a shoot across a couple of days to capture the full scope of their offering. From colourful vegan burgers and indulgent breakfast stacks to freshly brewed coffee, we focused on the energy and creativity behind each plate. Alongside stills photography, we also produced action-packed hyperlapse reels that brought the café to life, capturing the daily rhythm of the kitchen, barista bar and customers flowing in and out with that unmistakable Haslemere buzz.
“Marlon at Sequoia came and took some awesome shots of our two locations, food and interiors. We have used the shots extensively throughout all ad campaigns. Would highly recommend.. 👍”

Interiors, Exteriors & Drone Elevations in Midhurst
Not long after, the owner opened a second Lion’s Den in nearby Midhurst and once again we were invited to be part of the next chapter. This time, we focused on the design and layout of the new space, shooting interior and exterior stills to showcase the café’s warm and modern aesthetic. We even brought the drone out for some elevated exterior shots, giving a unique perspective of the location and surrounding town.
It’s been a joy to watch The Lion’s Den grow and evolve while staying true to its roots: independent, inclusive and full of soul. We’re proud to be part of their journey. The images now feature extensively across The Lion’s Den’s website and social media with a visual identity that’s bold, fresh and unmistakably their own.
