Great photoshoot!

We won the photoshoot and I was aware that it is their way of getting you in. They were very polite and before the shoot they do try and get an idea of what styles you want and give you a full briefing of what to bring and what to expect. They give you a lot of flexibility on how many people you can bring and pets too.
They run to time and it's not a busy place which i liked. The photographer was really chatty and made us feel at ease.
When it came to the viewing they had put it in a lovely slideshow type thing. They display the photos in various styles. The packages are very very expensive but they already show you these on the day and the prices are sent out in the 'Sneak peak' email.
I only bought some Jpegs which were expensive but affordable. They never pressured me to buy any of the expensive packages but tried to work with me to what I wanted and what I was happy to spend.
I didn't get the free photo that I had won as i didn't buy a package but she did give me a free jpeg. Overall, I am very happy with the experience.

Overall a good experience, shame the prints are so expensive!

Overall a good experience. The photographer was patient and managed to get some lovely families pictures (which was a huge achievement with so many of us and two toddlers!)

I didn’t feel pressured to buy extra photos at the viewing and even though some guests arrived late to the viewing, the guy we saw very kindly showed us the slideshow again so they could choose their print.

My only criticism is that you cannot buy one print and obviously the price of them is extortionate! We did end up purchasing the 4 7x5 photo package so we’ve all ended up with one print each but it’s a shame that the photos aren’t slightly cheaper, otherwise we would’ve bought more.

You’ve won our competition

I was excited that I received a phone call to say I had won the competition I had entered which was amazing. I chose to do a cake smash with me and my best friends baby for our babies 1st birthdays as they are 6 days apart.

The actual day was perfect, a lovely photoshoot. Babies well behaved and left extremely happy, although we were very shocked about the actual prices of the photos if you wish to purchase some. Very expensive and way over my budget as a single mother.

We returned a few weeks later to view the photos. Chose to buy 4 x 7.5 photos plus my free photo as part of the package won. £380 again in complete shock but because of how beautiful my baby’s photos were I went ahead. We then got told about how we can pay £12 over 36 months and I was relieved by this option. BUT only for them to start putting all my credit details into novuna consumer finance to then get denied and rejected and had very little money in my account to do the other option to pay £34 for 12 months with the first payment coming out there and then. I was absolutely distraught and left the studio heartbroken as I simply couldn’t afford anything at the time but the free photo in the shoot.

Adding to that whilst waiting the receptionist was calling several people at once to say they had won a competition. From someone’s honest opinion it looks like I wasn’t as lucky as I thought I was winning a competition. It’s their way of getting people in. Do not fall for the free shoot because yes it’s free but the pricing way over priced for something I could of done at home myself.

I cannot recommend Venture Studio's enough!

We recently took our 4-month-old puppy in for a photoshoot, and the experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our photographer Georgia was so patient and kind with our little one, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease throughout the session by letting him run around and play. She knew exactly how to capture his personality in the most adorable ways.

The outcome of the shoot exceeded our expectations and when it came time to select our favourites, it was so difficult to choose! In the end, we had so many stunning images to choose from that we ended up purchasing more than we initially planned!

If you're looking to capture precious moments with your furry friend, Venture Studios is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Scammers

Scammers. Everyone who “WON” free photoshoot be aware that it’s not for free you won’t get any of your pictures unless you pay £800-£1000. Picture quality is rubbish very blurry. Absolutely waste of time. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Wow!

Wow!! What an experience this was for me. I’ve never felt more welcomed into a place and so confident and comfortable with the people around.
Hannah who did my shoot was so patient and helpful in getting all the right pictures for me and Georgia was so lovely at my viewing that I didn’t feel pressured and she was very patient in helping me to decide which Picture's I wanted.

As soon on as we arrived

As soon on as we arrived, Hannah made us feel very comfortable. I always thought doing something like this would be a bit ‘cheesy’ but Hannah (photographer) soon reassured us and allowed us to be ‘natural’. As a result, she put together some beautiful photos-choosing was the problem as they were all so good/professional! Thank you for a pleasant experience. Vicky x

Where do I begin?!

The staff here are absolutely wonderful. The receptionist was very polite and accommodating with good humour. Straight onto the photographer who literally made my visions come to life! My dogs are manic and she wasn’t phased and just used it to our advantage. Then we went back for the viewing. We were a tad worried about not being able to afford the things we wanted but they helped us find the best deal for us and we couldn’t be happier. I couldn’t thank this team more❤️❤️❤️

Couldn’t thank them enough!

Our experience was out of this world! We did the bump to newborn and we couldn’t be any happier with how the pictures came out. And our photographer Georgia, such a stunning lovely women couldn’t thank her enough! Amazing at what she does and we are so thankful they are memories to treasure for a life time you can’t put a price tag on these pictures. All the women there are so lovely and welcoming. We went to Maidstone venture studios.Thank you guys❤️

If you want photography done right, go with Venture Studios…

We had a lovely time at Venture Studios Maidstone, had our family photos taken with our new baby girl which we had been yearning for. Georgia was exceptional and made us feel comfortable and welcome 🤗 . Our infant daughter was fussy but Georgia was very nice and friendly which made our experience even better. When we sat down for the viewing I found myself crying, happy tears of course!

The package we opted for was on the pricey end but you’re guaranteed of a quality product that will last you a lifetime!! I’d recommend Venture Studio’s over and over again….

Kudos to Georgia for capturing the memories just PERFECT 👌

I can not fault venture studios

I can not fault Maidstone venture studios. Gigi was fantastic, very creative and patient with my 3 year old and newborn. We had a great time especially when we are not very confident people. Brilliant photography really happy with all the photos. Such a great service. All stuff were very kind and welcoming. Items are a bit pricey but they are great quality and worth it.
The video to show is our pictures made me cry (happy tears) because it was so beautiful and well thought out. The gentleman that showed us the video and pictures was fantastic, he complimented on our pictures and helped us pick the right ones. He was able to help us pick the right style depending on the room. They were very accommodating with the package deal.

Thank you so much Maidstone Venture studios.

Hi Maxine, thanks for leaving us a review! We're glad we could welcome you back for another photoshoot, and that you have even more memories to share with your family in your home.

Anyone can take a photograph but if you want a professional looking picture, this is the best way to do it.

As always, very impressed with the quality of the images and the friendliness of the staff. We, (including our dog Rosa), were made to feel very at home and looked after. Both Monika, taking the photographs, and Matt assembling the final artwork, went to great lengths to achieve a brilliant finished piece and we never felt rushed either at the shoot or afterwards when reviewing the images.
