A great day out - an opportunity to feel pampered with an expert make over and hair stylist, followed by a professional photo shoot. The photographer really put us at ease to make sure we came out with a variety of great shots.

Amazing experience for our family- team was very professional, all the steps smoothly transitioned with great team working. Friendly environment, guiding us throughout, with attention to detail. Stunning photos, thank you.

Everyone is so friendly, instantly made us feel at ease. Kieran, our photographer, was telling us exactly how to pose. The only difficulty was what photos to pick as they all looked great

I had such a great experience with Vanity Studios. The whole experience was so lovely and we were well accommodated for. Ben, our photographer gave us such a huge selection of beautiful pictures and Chevaughn was so sweet with helping us decide for our photo selections along with the photo packages.

Great customer service, atmosphere, waiting times, and positive experience overall.

We were sold an affordable package deal at Comicon for a cosplay shoot but slightly fell prey to a sales pitch which embellished details and over-promised. The experience itself was good but overshadowed by the slight disappointment that it was not what we were sold.

To note, for anything other than glamour looks, you will be expected to prepare your own look. This unfortunately means that you lose out on a large portion of the pre-paid package with includes nails/hair/make up. Perhaps the studio could investigate a reduced price package which doesn't leave clients feeling like they missed out?

Nevertheless, the staff on the day were welcoming, helpful and talented. Our photographer took the time to research our cosplays to help deliver and guide us through every necessary detail of the perfect image. This was a highlight.

When it came to selecting the shots, we had one included in our package but the sales pitch was once again very intense. It was discussed as if we were expected to spend hundreds of pounds for additional digital photo packages which was not a cost which we anticipated. I fully respect the need to value your craft but we found the price list very intimidating and I don't believe the staff member was particularly sensitive to this.

In summary, a good experience but improved communication from sales staff and a review of package prices would improve overall rating.

This was sold to us at Comic Con as a service aimed at cosplayers, but the experience felt more compromising than we expected. The photographer was amazing—easily the highlight of the day and genuinely brilliant at what he did.

However, because this was a cosplay shoot, we were required to do our own makeup, which is understandable given how specialised cosplay makeup can be. That said, the final photos were very expensive, especially considering there was no makeup or cosplay-specific support included.

Everyone involved was lovely and welcoming, but it felt like cosplayers were more of a side audience rather than the main focus, with the setup leaning more towards traditional glamour photography.

In future, I’d choose a studio that genuinely caters to cosplay and understands the specific needs of cosplay makeup and presentation.

The experience from start to finish was great. I’m really appreciative of the hair stylist who gave me the hairstyle and curls I’ve always wanted to try. The photographer was really good at giving direction. He understand my vision for the photos and they came out amazingly well. Stephan was very helpful and patient with helping me to choose the best pictures which was a very difficult task given the amazing shots that were taken. I would recommend them 100%.

It was as though stepping in to another world, the ambiance and vibe were positive.
The staff were welcoming and professional and provided ideas and inspiration without being prescriptive.
I cannot thank the whole team enough, the results were amazing .
I would highly recommend Vanity Studios

staff all very helpful and friendly, a very good experience.

The people there are amazing! So friendly and lively, it really helps your confidence. It was my first ever photoshoot and the cameraman was very welcoming and helped me feel as natural as possible meaning i got amazing photos.

Staff were welcoming and really helpful from the minute we walked in. We were well looked after at every stage - nails first, then hair and finally make up. We were told what was happening at every stage too so felt like we knew what was expected/what we were supposed to next. The team were awesome. The shoot itself was fun and fast - 4 costume changes were helpful and gave us some excellent shots to choose from. The team that helps you choose the final images were patient and kind and helped to make the event absolutely fabulous. I would highly recommend for so many reasons! Thanks guys. We absolutely loved our day and will treasure the memories for a very long time!

A fantastic session from start to finish. Treated so well and offered drinks and snacks. The make up artists and hair stylists were incredible, sorry didnt catch their names. They listened to my nieces wishes for hair and make up perfectly. Matteo was an incredible photographer and fun to be around, he made us relax and get the most from our sesssion. Angie who went through our photos was so kind and helpful, so knowledgeable on best photos to pick, as it was tricky to choose! A great day out and such fun to do. My niece flew in from Norway for it and loved it. Can thoroughly recommend x

We had a delightful experience at our Vanity Studios photoshoot. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by the team.
We had hair and make up done by professionals who listened to our preferences and ensured we were happy with the end result. Our photographer, Bernardo, took the time to discuss our potential outfits to ensure these would work well in the photos. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the photoshoot. Afterwards, Chevaugn helped us select our photos, guiding us through each image with her attention to detail whilst giving us the space to make our own decisions. All in all a wonderful day.

Had a fabulous day at Vanity Studios. Everything ran smoothly and on time. Hair and make-up was perfect. The whole family had great fun posing. Ben our photographer was patient and capture some lovely shots. Shev went through all our pictures and gave her professional opinion on choosing our photos. A must for all family to capture memories

My experience at Vanity Studios was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Matko, who immediately made me feel at ease and offered me a complimentary drink. The entire team ensured I was comfortable throughout the day and clearly explained what to expect, which made the experience feel seamless and relaxed.
The day began with having my nails done, followed by hair styling with Dorota. Her expertise was evident right away, she instantly understood what my hair needed and executed it perfectly. Without any waiting time, I was then taken to the makeup artist, Ninni. Although she applied more makeup than I usually wear, she was absolutely right: under the bright studio lights, it looked completely natural and beautifully subtle.
The photo session with the photographer, Kieron, was excellent. He was kind, patient, and highly professional, with a remarkable eye for what suited me best. As I was looking for a photo for my next published book, I truly appreciated how clearly he understood my goal and knew exactly how to achieve the right result.
After the shoot, I reviewed the photos with Chevaughn, who immediately identified the strongest images and made the selection process effortless. I left with exactly the photos I had hoped for.
I can highly recommend Vanity Studios for their exceptional professionalism and attention to detail. Every time I look at my photos, I am reminded of the excellent work of the entire team. A huge thank you to everyone—I will gladly recommend you and would love to do it again.

We’ve been there for four times for family photoshoot and always left the studio very happy! Definitely would recommend it! Great service with professional team!

Could not have been more happier with the experience. My partner and myself had a lovely time, staff was very friendly and Erika executed the pictures perfectly

What an amazing day! We were greeted with friendly faces who assisted us with our luggage and offered us refreshments immediately. The three of us were seen to at roughly the same time taking turns with nails, hair and makeup so that we were on time for the shoot.
We were all over the moon with our hair and makeup.
Then we met our amazing photographer. We were unsure of which outfits would work best and so he helped us pick with some great and professional advice.
We had so much fun during the shoot, he was bubbly and met our ideas and guided us with posing, we hadn’t done anything like this before so we felt clueless in front of the camera but quickly felt natural and comfortable with his guidance. He was most respectful to us ladies during our shoot too and made us feel very comfortable and confident.
The hardest part of the day… was choosing our images. They were incredible with so many to choose from with a wide range of variations. The lady who showed us the images was wonderful and helpful with the package deals and also gave advice with choosing our best photos.
