Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 411 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, kindness, and ability to make everyone, including children and pets, feel comfortable and at ease during the sessions. The overall service and user experience are frequently described as enjoyable, easy, and amazing from start to finish. People are particularly impressed with the stunning quality of the final photos, noting how beautifully special moments are captured. However, some customers also noted concerns regarding pricing, with some finding the costs surprisingly high, especially after using a voucher.

Additionally, a few reviewers experienced issues with the final photo quality upon receiving them, such as unexpected darkness or distortion, which they found hard to assess during quick viewing sessions.

We had a great experience with Dan…

We had a great experience with Dan capturing photos of our 2 boys as well as some family shots! We’re really looking forward to updating the ones on our living room wall and sending family around the world the digitals when we get them! 🗺️ 📸
Jess was fantastic in our viewing and spent time talking us through the different options and costs. Yes the photos are expensive but they are so so worth it! ✨

Amazing!

Amazing! Would highly recommend. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. The photos were incredible. Seeing them for the first time made me very emotional. Ben was so good with my girls. They just clicked instantly and they normally take a long time to interact at all with new people. He was amazing with making them feel at ease. They had so much fun.

After a lovely photoshoot…

After a lovely photoshoot, was very surprised with the prices starting at £945, keeping in mind that the ‘voucher’ I had won gave the photographers hour for shoot and the editing time for free. However the biggest concern is the fact the shared my information with a third party, which at this point I had lost complete trust in the company so wanted to cancel my order. I contacted the team within three days, however after almost two weeks had to go to head office for a response. Then eventually I was told the piece of paper they asked me to sign meant there was no cancellation allowed. Now I understand that may be the case for usual circumstances, but they had already breached all my order information so therefore thought it was reasonable to request a cancellation. Don’t be fooled by this company, scam at best. Don’t trust them with any of your information, you don’t know where it is being sent. They will excuse this to be ‘human error’

Registering my dissatisfaction

This is very disappointing and I disagree with your statement that my concerns have been resolved. This is simply not the case.You state that I have "since spoken directly with the studio at the Southampton studio and this has been resolved locally." I did indeed speak with the Southampton studio before I submitted my feedback, and nothing was resolved. The core issues remain unaddressed.
My primary concerns, which were clearly outlined, are:The £315 voucher value: This was presented as a "complementary" prize, yet its value was not deducted from the subsequent package offer, nor was its application clearly explained. This remains unresolved.
My £25 booking deposit: This was stated as refundable, which remains unreimbursed or accounted for in any meaningful way. This remains unresolved.
The assertion that these matters have been "resolved locally" is factually incorrect. To suggest otherwise is misleading and appears to be an attempt to manipulate the situation. I request that you revisit my case with the specific issues I have raised, rather than relying on an unsubstantiated claim of local resolution. I expect a genuine attempt to rectify these discrepancies.

Fantastic from start to finish!

Such a great experience from start to finish. Zoe was really helpful when booking g the appointment, I knew exactly what to expect when we arrived. We had some issues with payment and she pointed me in the right direction, getting that sorted was quick and easy with Head Office. We had our session with Caitlin who was perfect for our family. She was able to ride out the chaos of a 2 year old and a dog and take some fantastic shots. The short preview sent a few days before our viewing appointment was really great and got us very excited for the session. Beth was really helpful when taking us through the pictures and explained the different packages well. She worked with us to figure out what worked best for us and we left really happy with what we purchased. Thank you to everyone at Venture. Highly recommended
