Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 416 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, kindness, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease during photoshoots. The photographers are particularly skilled at engaging with children and pets, capturing amazing and stunning memories that families will treasure.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Susan! ❤️

We’re thrilled to hear that Ella made both your sessions so calm and enjoyable, even with a fussy little one! It’s wonderful that the viewing experience felt smooth and that your photos turned out even better than expected.

We’re so happy we could help capture these precious moments for you — thank you for choosing Venture Studios and for recommending us so highly! 📸💛

Great experience and final product!

I was lucky enough to win a photoshoot experience. My partner, my dog and myself all attended for our shoot. We were called prior to arrange a date and another call to discuss what we wanted from the shoot and our ideas.
When we arrived the team was welcoming and friendly. Kelly was our photographer and really gave us the time to get as much different ideas in as possible and lots of ideas to try and capture awesome photos of our slightly awkward dog 😅.
We just went back for our viewing and was welcomed by Ricky. He was really knowledgeable and personable. He was transparent with our options and gave us some great advice.
There are some really good deals on at the moment so we happily took advantage of them and can't wait to pick up our image! We also got our digitals as part of the package the same day and they look great!

Meg was phenomenal, Jas was amazing!

Meg was phenomenal - she was a natural with our baby - she was so relaxed and really captured us as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. We enjoyed the company that much that the photoshoot went that quick and enjoyable. Best experience!

Jas gave us a first class viewing experience, she truly made our time memorable, personal and exciting ! We would do it again based on the customer experience alone, of course the amazing photography also!

Amazing experience

Amazing experience. We booked a bump to baby shoot, everything was perfect with all involved making sure we got all the images we could imagine. Also was so caring, calm and gentle with our little one only a few weeks old. We had 2 shoots and a viewing experience, the photos came out better than we even imagined and we're so very greatful for that. Ordered our framed images to collect in a few week, so excited to have them on our wall to make our house a home. Highly recommend if you're looking to create and commemorate memories in photos. Thank you! x

My experience

Me and my carer Charlie came in for a photoshoot. I had a lovely time from start to finish, A couple weeks before the shoot we were called up by who i assume to be the booking director beth, as the email for “what you want for your shoot” was unfortunately missed as it was in my spam folder.

NEVER FEAR, Beth collected all my details for what I wanted for the shoot and vibe wise. Let me know about prices and all that jazz.

Before the shoot started we were offered a beverage, and led into the room by our photographer Taylor. We had a bunch of fun, brought props and had a laugh.

The viewing was lovely, for the viewing it was with beth. I feel like we met everyone whilst we were there lol and they were all very lovely

The photos were beautiful; we picked the gift share as were an online pair and that fit our tastes.

I will say it IS a little pricey, 900 odd pounds for the cheapest digital pack. HOWEVER, people MUST charge for their labour; and shoots plus editing isn’t easy and takes time to perfect the skill.

That being said its a luxury, but one you can choose not to get if you cant afford it.

Overall! Lovely experience, glad we did it!

Worst experience ever

Would never recommend this company Rude staff, don't consider baby's feelings, takes money from you and the worst thing doesn't give your pictures. Company needs to be shut down.

Hi Mandip , So sorry to hear you didn't like the experience with us.
Your voucher covers the photoshoot , viewing appointment and a complimentary image.
We don't offer all the images for free - as stated on your voucher email and booking call , this would have been confirmed at your photoshoot too.
You are able to purchase any extra images you loved at your viewing experience but there is no pressure.
As you can see from our reviews , we have 100's of happy families who attend each year.
Thank you for your feedback

Ours was a photo of our two dogs that we had been gifted for Christmas and it was great fun, our photographer Jordan really put us at ease and we will not mention the silly noises he made to get the dogs attention LOL but it really worked and they loved him especially Dolly. The pictures were amazing and the movie brought a tear to my eye but I am a softie with my fur babies. Katie went above and beyond with helping us pick the right picture and we would definitely recommend them for your special picture. Thank you Claire and Colin and of course Finley and Dolly 🐶

We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience from start to finish at our Birmingham studio.

It’s also lovely to hear that Beth made your viewing experience just as enjoyable and helped guide you through the options.

After researching about different photography studios I set my sight on Venture studios to do the job of photographing the precious moment of before and after the baby bump. I'd like to thank & give a special mention particularly to Jordan for his photographic expertise and welcoming approach.
Last but not least a big thanks to Katie for her diligence and overall input in guiding us during the viewing process to pick out the appropriate final package.

I'd highly recommend Venture studios for your family photos, our overall experience was great.

AMAZING

Me, my partner and my son won a free photoshoot through Smyths and honestly? We couldn’t be more impressed. The photographer (Kelly) the photo quality, the price for the images (which may seem expensive to some but is well worth the price). We came back to the studio exactly a week from our shoot (also amazing) the photos are incredible! We couldn’t have asked for more. The guys who showed us our photos (Coby and Ricky) you were so nice and polite. We had an amazing experience with EVERYONE and we want to thank you for capturing the love shared in our family

We had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Jordan, our photographer, was fantastic during our family photoshoot – friendly, patient, and incredibly professional. He made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, which really showed in the final photos. Jordan was great with the children, captured natural moments beautifully, and had a great eye for detail and lighting. The whole process was smooth, enjoyable, and well organised, and the results exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with our photos and would highly recommend both Jordan and venture studios to anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free family photoshoot.

We had two photographers Kelly and Callum and both were fantastic!

First time round we arrived late and Kelly did a fantastic job capturing some wonderful images of my little boy even though he was just not feeling himself and hungry. Second shoot was just fantastic too, Callum captured my happy little boy so well.

The viewing was also wonderful, Ricky accommodated us including a demanding toddler and had so much patience while we picked our images. All in all they were fantastic and would highly recommend.

Thank you 🙏

Loved our experience at Venture…

Our experience at Venture was really great, I'd felt a bit overwhelmed about getting the whole family to the shoot and worrying about whether the kids would enjoy it or not. Once we arrived we were really looked after by the team and put at ease, we met with Amy our photographer who was brilliant with the kids and really got some stunning shots with them and made it fun for them. We all really enjoyed it!
When we came back for our viewing, Louise looked after us, it was quiet and personal and she gave us plenty of time to look at and organise our photos. She kept our four year old entertained for us when we were trying to make a decision. The photographs are beautiful.
Just a really lovely experience, I hope I get to do it again some time!
