Venture Photography Studios Reviews 

We recently visited Venture Studios for a newborn family photoshoot with our son, Daniyal, and had a fantastic experience.

Our photographer, Dom, was excellent from start to finish. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and clearly very experienced with babies. He made us feel completely at ease, taught us a few useful tips we hadn't come across before, and was wonderful with Daniyal throughout the session.

We were particularly delighted by the tummy-time photographs he managed to capture. Dom even joked that he wanted to be known as the "Tummy Time King", and after seeing the results we can understand why! The photographs are beautiful and captured moments we wouldn't have thought possible at Daniyal's age.

Dom had lots of creative ideas for poses and different styles of photographs, while still listening to what we wanted. The whole experience felt relaxed, enjoyable and never rushed.

The viewing presentation afterwards was lovely, and we're delighted with the collection of images we received. These are memories we'll treasure for years to come.

Venture Studios is definitely a premium product, but the quality of the photography and the overall experience were excellent. We particularly appreciated being able to discuss the available options and find a package that worked for us.

A big thank you to Dom and the team for helping us capture such special memories.

We won a competition for a photo shoot with our dachshund Charlie. We had Dan do the photos and he was brilliant! Knew exactly what he was doing and was patient with Charlie due to him being a bit of a Barky dog and not always willing to sit still. The photos were incredible! Some of dans ideas were absolutely brilliant and funny! Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for any sort of photo shoot! He even managed to have Charlie sit still for some photos! Miracle worker

My mother in law purchased a bump to newborn photo shoot for me for Xmas.
The experience and photographer Hannah was absolutely amazing! Hannah went above and beyond to capture everything and even settled our baby who doesn’t like to sleep! Was so impressed with her, she always made sure our 9 year old had pictures taken too.
We was then handed a price guide as we LEFT! Omg the prices are outrageous there is no way we was going to be paying nearly £2500k for the top package.
We had our photo viewings again absolutely amazing pictures and even made me well up as they were beautiful Georgia was amazing showing us all the pictures. I discussed there was no way o could pay this for pictures , was their a lower budget friendly price to which I was informed I could have 4 pictures emailed to me for £295!! OUTRAGEOUS!!
Or a USB Stick for £1000k OUTRAGEOUS!! People don’t even pay that for wedding photography pictures! I asked as I never got to do the first part of the package the bump phototshoot would they send me a couple of pictures via email as a good will gesture as I never got my bump pictures for health reasons and baby born early. Was told no! I asked even with the venture studio logo on just so I could show my partner as he was unable to attend the viewing. They also just delete the pictures if you don’t buy them which is sad all that time and effort to be deleted. All I’m asking was a budget friendly price list and maybe a few pictures emailed with your logo on as I never got the first part of the voucher.
I find it outrageous that the prices are not shown on anything and you get told no to this, even though they sent one ad a sneak peak before this!
Hannah & Georgia was very very good but please don’t bother going if you want something budget friendly.

We had a lovely family photoshoot at Venture Studios. We had the free newborn photoshoot but chose to take family photos instead. Our photographer Dom was absolutely amazing from taking the pictures to the viewing, it was such a lovely experience. He made us all feel at ease and the kids really enjoyed his exercises to get some lively photos (tickling Mum was the favourite 😂)! We originally planned to get the one photo, but after attending the viewing and seeing how beautifully the pictures were captured, we couldn't help but get the album and the digital package too! Even the staff at the counter were so friendly and accommodating, as we had to change our appointments many times due to unforeseen circumstances, and they were so reasonable, compassionate and understanding! Would highly recommend this business to family and friends, it's great for your casual or occasion shoots, and the service here is just above and beyond!

All staff was great, very helpful in taking the photos and helping us narrow them down to 12 of 121 photos taken, would highly recommend! Thanks too all staff again you were great!

How Iminee managed to capture my family is beyond me!
We're loud, we talk over each other, we laugh too much, someone is always pulling a face, and organised is definitely not a word anyone would use to describe us. Yet somehow, during our family photoshoot with Venture Photography on 22nd May 2026, Iminee captured us perfectly.
From the moment we arrived, she made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. There was no pressure, no awkwardness, and no need to pretend to be something we're not. Instead, she embraced the chaos, the humour, and the love that makes our family unique.
The result? Beautiful photographs that genuinely reflect who we are. Looking through them brought smiles, laughter, and more than a few "That's so you!" moments.
What I loved most was that the images don't just show our faces; they tell the story of our family and the relationships we share. That is a special skill and one that Iminee has in abundance.
Thank you, Iminee, for your patience, professionalism, and talent. You've given us memories that we'll treasure for years to come.
If you're considering a family photoshoot, my advice is simple: do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Iminee as your photographer, you're in very safe hands.

We had a wonderful photoshoot experience with Venture Studios Cheltenham to mark our 30th wedding anniversary, and we couldn’t be happier.
Special thanks to Jess who took the shots - she was brilliant. Jess made us feel relaxed from the start, knew exactly how to capture natural moments, and did an amazing job giving us photos we’ll treasure for life. The whole process was smooth, professional, and actually fun.
If you’re looking for a studio that delivers beautiful, memorable photos, I highly recommend Venture Studios Cheltenham. Thank you Jess and the team!

Huge thanks to Zoe, Caitlin and Emily who were all so lovely m. We did a family/newborn shoot and were a little nervous at first but they made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. We love the way our photos turned out!

My cousin bought me a photoshoot experience as a Christmas present for myself and my dog. This is not something I would usually do and had never done a photoshoot of this sort before so I did not know what to expect. From beginning to end the experience was brilliant and the customer service was outstanding.

Starting with the initial booking, the team do all they can to get in touch and brief you. They like to find out about yourself and in this case my dog so they can really personalise the experience. They allow you to bring anything you want along in terms of props and as one of my interests was football they asked if I would be happy to bring across a football top.

When I arrived to Venture Studios in Birmingham, we were greeted by the most happy team. They checked first if my dog was good with other dogs, to which he is not always so they asked if I could wait outside, which I was really grateful for as it helped my dog not to not get into any states before we did the photoshoot.

Once we was in we were taken into our own private studio and Steph our photographer was amazing!

She really made us both feel comfortable, Bruno wasn't the most receptive dog to the lights and camera but she managed to still catch all his best angles and really worked hard to achieve some beautiful photos. She was brilliant with him and so were all the staff. She had lots of ideas and made it a really fun experience.

When coming back for the viewing (which is also a beautiful experience) Ricky was the one to show me. He was brilliant, super friendly, very informative and really helped me choose the best package for me. He didn't push me into any decisions and also helped me narrow down which photos to choose. I was also allowed to take as much time as I wanted and it didn't feel rushed.

Thank you to all the staff I had the pleasure of encountering at the photo shoot and the viewing, the Birmingham team are real superstars!

Excellent service and photographer Hannah was great. However, the cost of the photos is extortionate.

Came back for the second time as the first was absolutely amazing. My daughter had an amazing first birthday and that is really shown in the photos. Thank you so much for creating such special memories. Props to Jess and liv. Will 100% be back again at some point.

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.

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.

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.

They where very friendly and helpful

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

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 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

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.
