Venture Photography Studios Omdömen 1 298

Let me save you time and from being pressured for a price that is very unreasonable. I wish I read the reviews prior to the shoot.

Our photographer was lovely. Even though our son was very active, she was still able to take good photos. She made our experience fun and was very open when we asked to stop the photoshoot since our little one was already losing his attention span.

But!! The pricing is just ridiculous. £800 for digital pictures on a usb thats the lowest price. For it’s worth, the pictures were not even in high resolution. If you want a high res you pay £1000. Yep that’s their minimum.

We got gifted a voucher with one print. And with that, it doesn’t even come with digital version of that one same picture. You have to pay extra and they make you use your deposit and cancel the print for a digital photo. It takes within 6 weeks before you receive that one photo. And it is not even high resolution.

Day light robbery it is! I wouldn’t recomment at all.

Great experience, from shoot day to viewing of the photos. We had a family photo shoot and went from being on edge, as it is typically not ‘our thing’, to totally relaxed and getting so many amazing photos that it was hard to choose from. This is genuinely down to our photographer Ben as he was able to quickly put us at ease which enabled the kids (and us) to really have some fun with it.

Dan our photographer was great at the photoshoot, especially with our son Oliver! He made it fun for him and we all had a great experience. During our viewing, Liv shown us our amazing photos! Liv was so friendly and made the viewing experience fab! We have photos we can cherish forever and we can’t wait for our frames to arrive!

Thank you both!

We had Ben as our photographer for bump to baby and he made the whole experience so amazing! We were quite nervous and he made us feel so at ease. The quality of his work is stunning and we are so in love with our photos ❤️ highly recommend x

Our photographer Ella was absolutely amazing with our newborn daughter during our family shoot. She was the first stranger who held our little girl and we felt completely comfortable with her, she was great at comforting Emily when she needed it and respected her needs. The shoot was made fun and heartwarming, our ten year old even enjoyed himself. We had our viewing today of all the photos she captured and I cannot thank her enough, they made me cry! Would 100% recommend this studio.

We had a wonderful photographer, Eleanor and she made us feel really comfortable and relaxed. We saw our images today and absolutely loved the photos she captured of us!
Would strongly recommend booking with them. No pressure to buy just transparent and open conversations which we found really helpful. Defo recommend

Our session with Ben, was really good and had so much fun. I entered a competition back before our little boy Leo was born and we were lucky enough to win a newborn photoshoot. It was the first time we’d ever been in a photo studio and Ben looked after us so nicely. He bonded with Leo on a great level and we could see that Leo was at ease which put us at ease and calm too. Ben discussed how the session was going to pan out and what we’d be doing. He’d explain what he was doing and produced the cutest photos ever. I’d be honest and say we had high expectations, judging by what photos we’d previously seen on social media and Ben did not disappoint. In fact, the photos were even better than we had imagined. We were in awe of every single photo and it’s thanks to Ben & winning the competition, we now have lifetime memories we can treasure and look back.

For those who are on the fence about whether to have a session or not, just do it. You will not regret it and the quality really is top of the top.

Thank you Ben so much!

hannah was amazing during our photography session with our newborn and dog! such beautiful photos! she is a very talented photographer and editor! we had such a wonderful experience, i would definitely recommend!

Great shoot session for my bump and newborn shoots. Caitlin and Beth were awesome. Venture photography is it for us.
Can’t wait to do the one year old project with them.

Scam of a company ‘WINNER’

I “won” a competition with Venture for my cat to have a photo taken. Shortly after, I was bombarded with phone calls asking me to pay a deposit, which I was clearly told was fully refundable.

After speaking with friends and family, they warned me that everyone seems to “win” these competitions and that they’re not actually free — you’re pressured into buying very expensive photo packages. Because of this, I decided to cancel the whole thing and requested a refund.

Within the 48-hours before the appointment would be taking place I explained that I wanted to cancel as the experience wasn’t truly free. The representative admitted that yes, it isn’t free, said they understood, and told me a refund would be requested and processed within a certain number of working days.

However, after checking the terms and conditions myself, I discovered that no refund is given unless you complete the photo shoot, which directly contradicts what I was told on the phone.

This feels extremely misleading. They must make a lot of money from people falling into this trap, and it’s honestly shameful. Transparency is seriously lacking, and I would not recommend this experience to anyone.

We had been with Venture studios before for a newborn shoot with our first child and really wanted to obtain a similar piece of wall art for our second baby.
This time round we went in with a 2 year old toddler and a newborn, a little more challenging. Our newborn was calm and cooperative, but our toddler was not that straightforward! Hannah and Steph have done an amazing job though, seizing the moments for good photos, playing along with the toddler, having a break, thinking out of the box, and being very patient throughout.
It all resulted in a nice set of wonderful pictures, true work of art, and we’ve got some beautiful keepsakes for our wall!
If we ever have more children, we will definitely come back again :)
Thank you very much!

Absolutely loved our newborn photography session with Eleanor. Really enjoyed the experience and the photography results, and very excited to host the images at home. Also to mention, we were very impressed with how Eleanor handled our baby throughout the session. It was clear that she has dealt with many babies and we appreciated that she was very empathetic, compassionate, and flexible to ours and our baby's needs. We were put at ease and had no worries at all, also appreciating Venture Studios providing the time slot to allow baby feeds and changes included. Would happily recommend to others!

Had an incredible experience both for our photo shoot and cinema experience to look pack at all our pictures.
We felt so relaxed by both Kelly and Ricky during our time.
Kelly had done an amazing job in doing the shoot, asking our interests and getting the most perfect images for us. To be followed by Ricky in talking though all our options of photo display, frames, styles and how best to place things.

Would highly recommend. We cannot wait to see the finished products in place

Dom and Lois were absolutely awesome! We didn’t know what to expect from the shoot but they made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun. The took some epic shots and edited the pics brilliantly. No hard sell and lots of lols! They didn’t even flinch when our dog Elvis bobbed on the floor 🤣

Absolutely amazing experience. Jess was incredible with our son and Liv was brilliant at our viewing. 100% recommend

Meg photographed me & my baby boy for our first photoshoot & gave us a magical and precious experience i’ll never forget. going through the photos with Jas was a beautiful intimate moment & she explained all my options simply and easily. the images are absolutely stunning and they’ve captured his personality to a tee! 2 lovely ladies who have made the start of this year extra special for me. thank you guys :)

We had such an amazing experience. The photos that Dom took came out absolutely incredible. Dom was such a delight and really made us feel welcome and listened to everything we requested as well as coming up with some amazing ideas too! The whole team was so lovely. So so happy with our pictures, cannot wait to enjoy them for a lifetime!

WOW!! Where do I even start, we had GiGi as our photographer and her level of services were impeccable!

She made us feel extremely comfortable from the get go, as going and having your photographs taken can always be nerve racking but once in with GiGi we felt the complete opposite.

We had our family photos taken with our two girls and they came out absolutely amazing!! These are photos we will cherish for a lifetime! Anyone looking to have their photos taken should most definitely look at having them taken here at Venture Photography with GiGi.

We can’t thank her enough as her patience went above and beyond especially when our little became overstimulated and fussy, she settled her so well and managed to get those extra photos.

We will most definitely be looking to come back for our child’s next milestone photos and will 100% be asking for GiGi.

She is an absolute credit to team and business, we can not thank you enough GiGi.

Thank you from Owen, Robyn, Ella and Lily. X

I attended Venture Photography Studios in Nottingham with my daughter and son in law for a newborn photoshoot of my grandson. The shoot was a gift from his great grandma, who had purchased a newborn photoshoot, a one year photoshoot, plus an additional £50 voucher for extra photos.

The photographers themselves were pleasant and took some genuinely lovely photos. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended.

When it came to viewing the photos, we were stunned by the pricing. The cheapest option was £95 for a single photo, with packages escalating to well over £2000 for all digital images. This felt completely disproportionate and left us feeling disgusted. My grandson’s great grandma was very upset, having spent a significant amount of money on the gift believing it would result in meaningful, affordable keepsakes.

To make matters worse, when we selected the two photos we were willing to have, we were then told they could only be printed in 5x5, not 7x5 as originally implied. Despite being smaller, the price remained exactly the same. No reduction, no explanation, just another example of the pricing feeling arbitrary and exploitative.

We were also told we had to return for a viewing appointment or be charged an extra £25, which felt unnecessary and pressurising. When we returned, we made it clear from the outset that we only wanted the free photo included in the package. Despite this, we were subjected to an aggressive hard sell. We said no repeatedly, yet were continually offered so called discounts, bundles, and payment plans.
In the end, we felt forced into buying an additional photo at £95 purely so the £50 voucher was not completely wasted. Even then, when one staff member left the room, another whispered to my daughter about interest free payments for six months in a final attempt to push a larger package. It was uncomfortable and inappropriate.

The overall attitude felt robotic and falsely friendly, with sales clearly prioritised over people. I dread to think how overwhelming this process must be for those who are less confident or assertive.

We will not be returning for the one year photoshoot and will be using a local photographer instead. I would strongly advise anyone considering Venture to fully understand the pricing structure and sales tactics before booking, as the experience was far more about extracting money than creating memories.

We received our complimentary photoshoot through Emma’s diary. Me and my partner went with our 6 week old little boy and honestly it was an amazing experience, Jordan and Izzy were so patient and caring! I can not thank them enough! The photographs and moments they were able to capture are truly amazing! We then went back for our viewing and was greeted by Ricky and Coby, they worked hard to create the set up of images we wanted for our home. I would 100% recommend venture studios!
