We recently took our six week old baby girl to Venture Stockport after receiving a voucher in the post, and I have to say the experience on the day itself was wonderful. Ben, our photographer, was absolutely brilliant with us and our little one, and Lauren made the viewing feel really special. The whole team is genuinely fantastic, warm and professional, and the quality of the photos is outstanding.

When we went back to view them, the images were shown in such an emotional way that it was very hard not to want them all, and that is where the costs quickly add up. We ended up spending close to £2,000, which came as a bit of a shock in hindsight. I completely accept that this was partly down to me being naïve and not looking into pricing beforehand, but I wish I had been more aware going in.

That being said, the photographs themselves are incredible, they look amazing on our living room wall and will be something we treasure forever. Ben and Lauren really are a credit to Venture, and we cannot fault the service or the final product.

My only advice would be for anyone considering it to check competitor prices first and have a clear budget in mind before the viewing. It really is an amazing experience with a wonderful team, but just be prepared for how expensive it can become.
