Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're so sorry to hear that you’re disappointed with the framed image you received.

This is certainly not the level of quality or service we aim to deliver, and we completely understand how upsetting this must be — especially when it involves something as precious as a photo of your baby.

We’d really like the opportunity to put this right for you. Please reach out to the Leeds studio directly or email us at leeds@venturephotography.co.uk so we can look into this further and arrange a resolution.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention — we truly value your feedback and your trust.

Expensive, pressuring, lack of communication

We received an Emma Diary voucher, for venture. Once redeemed Venture called the date day to book in the shoot and the lady who we spoke to was lovely.

Shoot day came and was a really pleasant experience and our pjotography explained that with the voucher we get 1 free print and do not feel obliged to purchase anything.

When we left, I had a query in which I emailed Venture about... no reply was received. I then sent a query via their website... no response or acknowledgement to the above on both still to this date.

We attended the viewing appointment in whichbthe images were lovely and the lady who was doing this at this point was very pleasnt. We then got handed a sheet of paper with the prices, in which we was shocked at the prices - starting at 1k+. When we said that the prices were out of our price range the lady doing the viewing attitude changed and became not as friendly. We felt like we were pressure to purchase something.

The woman stated that the voucher cover the shoot and editing time of the photographer, and then proceeded to push USB of the images on us for £800. We weren't allowed Privacy to discuss this.

Once we had done this purchase, we then told we couldn't have the free photo as we'd traded this for the usb... which I don't understand as we have purchased the USB so why we couldn't have the print. She then also informed us that it will take 6 weeks to have the USB, which again is confusing as you've got the images and they are literally being transfer to the device. It bewildering how it cannot be done within that appointment.

We are still awaiting the USB, we was pressure to spend £800 and we can not get any contact from Venture.

I do notnunderdyand how the images cost £800 as the voucher proce covered the work involved.

Once the USB has been received I can ensure that I will never be using them again nor recommending them.

Our experience at the Leeds venture…

Our experience at the Leeds venture photography was fabulous. Louis made the photo session fun and enjoyable especially for the kids who were so happy for the experience. We went back for the baby shoot and Saskia was very patient and captured the special moments when the baby was calm. It was an amazing experience all together and would definitely reccommend them.

Absolutely amazing experience

Absolutely amazing experience! I had a bump to baby photoshoot and from start to finish we were treated with such care and made to feel really comfortable. Both Alice and Sophie were amazing and such good photographers! We are so happy with the end result too and so happy we have these special memories to look back on of our newborn. Thank you again xxx

Facebook pet shoot

We won a pet photoshoot on Facebook with Venture and our whole experience was owned by Lewis. Lewis was amazing he took the time to call me and get to know what we wanted before hand. At the appointment my dog warmed to him straight away and we all had so much fun getting live action pictures and stills which was all interactive and like a massive play session. We then had a final appointment to review our pictures and Lewis had put together a video and all our amazing pictures and I couldn’t have wished for anything better. We took away everything we wanted on the day and had the best experience from the whole venture company! Would definitely recommend and we will be back!

Fabulous experience from start to finish!
We had an amazing photoshoot with Ruby - our grandchildren absolutely loved it. And then we returned to view our photos - it was just like being at the cinema. Popcorn, wine, comfy settees - we loved it. The staff can't do enough and are all lovely. I definitely recommend having your photos taken here - and can't wait to get our pics back!

Fantastic dog photos

Myself and my Doberman Barbara had the most amazing time at Venture Studios Leeds. Sophie was our Photographer and she was brilliant. The photo shoot was fantastic and such a positive, fun bonding experience for us. It has been one of my favourite days with Barbara by far.
There were so many, high quality photos to choose from thanks to Sophie’s artistic talent as she knew exactly what I would like. The whole experience was amazing and is highly recommended.

This was a lovely valentines day for the whole family to get together. Sophie made us feel very welcome and very friendly. The whole experience was amazing, relaxed.
Then when we came back to view the pictures Angie made us feel welcome and relaxed. She told us about the offers and was not pushy with and persuading us to buy anything. We was shown the movie which was amazing.
Highly recommend.

Too long but true

I'm writing this as the babies father and can only describe each moment of the experience as simple and elegant. I have never encounted such friendly and experienced professionals in my line of work or from any other business. Ruby was the photographer and she was able to help entertain and position all three of us and percervierer through each challenge our little bundle of joy presented as well as very happily indulging each and every question and request I made ranging from; am I ok to implement certain props all the way to what would win in a fight between a bear and a shark. Undoubtedly this amazing first experience only set the president of what was to come from the reveal of what photos were able to be taken and fueled our excitement for our next visit, two weeks suddenly felt like two years.

On our second adventure to your amazing studios the film was revealed and it blew our minds with what could be produced with a couple hours and a camera. Each photo was showered with an applause of very loud aws' and the music that followed was amazingly on beat to each change in image slow and gentle mirroring the procedure of the day that came before. Our presentation was hosted by Gemma. Polite swift and entertaining there are no other words to describe our very own greatest show women. Worth every penny honestly

Amazing staff

My photographer Ruby was so understanding with my newborn and made us very comfortable. She captured such beautiful moments. Our stylist Ang was amazing with helping to choose our photos and make sure all the edits that need to be done get noted down. Both have been so helpful and lovely.

Family photo shoot

We came for our first family photo shoot with our very photogenic , energetic little girl and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care we received and the outcome !! Ruby was amazing with our little one making her feel like she was the star of the show and we love all of our pictures so much. We couldn’t thank Ange enough for how they were presents to us too . We will definitely be back when we want more doing in a few years

Family photo shoot

We had our family photo shoot done at venture photography Leeds and from start to finish was made to feel very comfortable. Our dogs came with us and Sophie was very patient with them trying to get us the best photos. At our viewing of our photos, we were so happy with the photos that had been taken and couldn’t wait to purchase them. Overall we had such a good experience and highly recommend venture photography Leeds.
