We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jordan and Callum
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jordan for our very first family photo session, and the entire experience was truly wonderful from start to finish. Jordan was incredibly warm, patient, and professional, which made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot.
He has such a lovely personality and a natural way of making everyone feel at ease, especially during those little moments that can sometimes feel overwhelming with family photos. His attention to detail, creativity, and calm approach really stood out, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about capturing beautiful and meaningful memories for us.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. We will treasure them forever as they perfectly captured the love and joy of our family. We are so grateful to the entire staff and also to Callum for helping us through our photo selection process and for giving us such a memorable experience and would highly recommend Venture studios to anyone looking for a memorable photographic experience.

Amazing experience!
We’ve been her three times at Venture Fulham - Bump shoot, Newborn shoot, Cake Smash shoot.
All our sessions were with photographer Niamh and she was absolutely amazing! She was so gentle and calm with our daughter during the newborn shoot, and made us all feel comfortable and relaxed!
I had created mood boards for all our shoots and she captured my vision perfectly every time!
Our viewing sessions with Joseph have been great! He helped us choose which photos to be framed and we never felt pressured into buying more than what we wanted or planned.
The frames are such good quality and there’s a wide variety of styles you can choose from depending on your home interior.
I’d high recommend Venture Fulham, and booking with Niamh & Joseph!
We can’t wait to come back again and capture more special moments!

Jordan and Coby were absolutely fantastic with our family shoot. We have the best photos and they’re better than we could have even imagined. Both jordan and coby were so welcoming and great to be around which made the experience so personal to us. We’ve overall had such a good time and we definitely recommend jordan in particular for photography. I can’t express in words the feelings that we have over our experience.

Harassing family, friends and colleagues
Was bought a photo shoot by my work, got duped into paying a stupid amount for photos and frames. “The photos sell themselves” yeah because you’re expecting new parents to choose between the paid for photo as part of a package or pay almost a months wages for photos of your child, if you don’t purchase them then and there they delete them.
We have spoken to smaller businesses who hold your photos for a decade then delete!! Venture also enter your favourite photo into the monthly competition (which is based on how popular you are) anyone that does vote has to enter their personal details. Venture then use these personal details to harass your family, friends, colleagues and anyone who voted for your photo, telling them they’ve won a competition! I keep being told by people I know “that bloody venture photography won’t leave me alone” telling everyone they have “won” a competition in the hope they will bite. Fortunately, the people we know are wise to it but they are fed up of the messages.
It’s a shame venture are annoying anyone that voted for our daughter’s photo (Including our bosses !!!), as the photos are lovely… I wouldn’t have bothered with this review but I am sick to death of being told about the stupid messages from venture.

We do take all feedback on board and it has been passed back to the team.
I can assure you we dont dupe any clients - what we do offer is a great experience with awesome images.
We are never pressure sell as all our images sell themselves , we simply want to find what works best for your wall space so you have a beautiful piece of wall art to treasure forever.
Most of our clients do opt into our monthly competition to win a piece of wall art - anyone voting will tick a box to say if they would like to be contacted and we only contact them if this has been ticked and they are interested in a shoot with us.
They where very friendly and helpful

Scam
To start with if I could put less than 1 star I would and I went for a £20 photoshoot and then got told it was £945 for the cheapest one and then got told they can do it to a budget friendly cost which never happened and then got told that they can’t offer a refund and then was also told that I threatened them with all of the proof which i provided for them and also got told I was threatening them once again when I said I am not threating just providing the truth. We also got told 4-6 weeks for the picture which I did not get any update for and waited 10-11 weeks instead and for a “good company they should provide the a update. I really wouldn’t recommend

Unfortunately, delays do sometimes happen, even when we try our best to prevent them. We are truly sorry that you remain dissatisfied despite our attempts to accommodate and assist you.
Fabulous!
Fabulous!! Steph made us all feel right at home - by the end of the shoot she was almost part of the family!!! We had so much fun and the end results were amazing. I can't stop smiling at the 'mess about' photo and the family picture is exactly what I wanted. The whole experience was well worth it - I can't thank you enough. The entire staff were excellent and deserve a mention too. Thank you

The staff were extremely welcoming
The staff were extremely welcoming and made me feel very comfortable and safe from the moment we arrived. My photographer kept complimenting me throughout the session, which truly made my day such lovely girls
I would highly recommend this studio to anyone wanting photos taken with their young baby. My photographer was so understanding and considerate of how difficult it can sometimes be to get the perfect shots with such a tiny baby, yet she still managed to capture every beautiful moment. She was amazing with my little boy and he absolutely loved her
They really take every little detail you want into consideration, which is incredible. The quality of care and attention is outstanding and truly unmatched. I want to thank the Leamington Spa team for giving us such an amazing experience that we will never forget during such a special time in our lives
A special thank you to Jas, who helped us choose our package and photos. She was so helpful in narrowing down the best ones and gave us her professional opinion, which made the process so much easier
And thank you to Meg, our photographer you genuinely made my heart melt. You were so incredibly kind and such a wonderful woman. Thank you for taking the time to edit and perfect our photos it means more than you know

Family Fun captured by photos
We got a voucher as a gift for photo shooting at Venture Photography Studio -South Woodford. Booking process was easy, the receptionist was friendly and knowledgeable. Our photographer, Eleanor was lovely and patient, playful with our 2 years old daughter. As like every toddler, she had her up and downs through the photoshoot what Eleanor navigated nicely. Photos turned out amazing. Definitely advise the place for a memorable experience which captured by photos for a lifetime.

Very good
Overall experience was very good and would recommend to others. The price is high for what you receive, but for the experience and memories I do reckon it would be valuable to the right people. Hannah took our photos and Dom did our reveal both were fantastic. The presentation video and photos were well worth the wait. I would have liked a few more photos overall but 53 files for 45mins of shooting was adequate. The photos of my daughter I will cherish for a lifetime!
First time doing a professional shoot and was impressed and would definitely recommend.
Even more so because I was sceptical going in.

Fantastic
We’ve had an overly experience with Venture Studios. Our photographer Eleanor was brilliant (and patient!) with our children and made us all feel at ease.
Viewing the phonographs with Jonathan was great. The photos are fantastic.
Jonathan was able to discuss what we wanted and guide us through as we viewed the images together making the process simple.
This is the first photoshoot we have ever done & I know we will enjoy the images forever, they captured our life with our round children perfectly.

Our photographer Joseph was amazing with our newborn. We did the maternity and newborn shoot with Venture and loved the photos.

We were all dreading coming in for the shoot as we were stepping completely out of our comfort zone. But Emily did a great job of making us feel relaxed. She was also very patient with our dog who we hoped would join in happily, however he decided to behave like a bit of an idiot on the day! Nevertheless Emily still managed to capture some amazing shots which we'll treasure forever - she's a magician!

I voted in a competition and they have relentlessly emailed me and called me as I “won” a package. Surely the first time I do not answer gives a clear message. I’m already aware of their ridiculous prices for the photos after the free photoshoot so have absolutely no interest. Borderline harassment at this point. No difference between these lot and the other scam callers. If I wanted photos, I’d choose a small local photographer and not a predatory company like this.

Pet Photography Shoot
We recently took our 2 fur babies for a pet photoshoot, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish.
The team was incredibly kind and welcoming, which immediately put both of us and our pets at ease.
They showed so much patience and understanding throughout, taking the time to work with our pets’ personalities rather than rushing the process.
It really felt like they cared about capturing the best moments, rather than just getting the job done.
Their helpful and friendly approach made the whole experience enjoyable and stress free.
We’re so grateful for how comfortable they made us feel, and the photos truly reflect that relaxed and happy atmosphere.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to capture special memories, especially with their beloved pets.
We couldn’t thank them enough for everything.
And by the way, the end result with the photos are absolutely AMAZING!!
