Really great studio friendly professional staff and photographer Very happy with results Though I was waiting most of my time there it said it would take about three hours but I was there for 5 5 hours which was crazy so they should try to schedule it better

Photoshoot with Bernardo
The photoshoot at Vanity Studio with Bernardo was such a great experience He knows what is doing and is very encouraging He uses positive reinforcement so that you never feel like you re doing something wrong rather helps you tweak postures poses and just makes you feel plain beautiful Never hurts on a photoshoot Saving one star as makeup could be improved and tailored to one s specific features

My daughters aged 9 and 12 loved it
My daughters aged 9 and 12 loved this experience the subtle make-up styling of their hair and especially the actual photo shoot I couldn t fault the photographer He engaged with the girls and the photos were very age appropriate We took four changes of clothes and the photos reflected each style summery more formal sporty and casual We took a few props but they also provided some which meant our photos at the end were all very different A great day out Thank you

Stunning photos by a talented team - just prepare for a long day though
We had a fantastic couples photo shoot to belatedly celebrate our engagement - exactly 2 years to the day since we got engaged in Mexico After a tough couple of years we decided to treat ourselves and honestly we re so glad we did Bernardo our photographer was incredible Professional and friendly he was so skilled at putting us at ease which was no small feat for me as I can be pretty awkward when posing And the photos Just wow The quality lighting and moments he captured were absolutely stunning The whole team was warm and welcoming from start to finish Special thanks to Jenny and Nini for makeup hair and nails and to Angie apologies if I ve misspelled any names for her patience great conversation and helpful guidance during the photo selection process The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the length of the session We arrived at 3pm but didn t start shooting until 5 30pm due to delays After a 3-hour shoot and an hour-long photo selection we didn t get home until 10pm We d expected to choose our free print and receive a gallery link for later choices but instead we were taken straight into a viewing session which felt intense after such a long day Clearer communication beforehand would have helped us prepare and manage our expectations better That said we re absolutely in love with the photos we chose and so happy we did it If you re looking for breathtaking images and a talented friendly team we d highly recommend this place Thank you for capturing such special memories You re amazing at what you do

Birthday gift
We were made to feel very welcome and the hair stylists and make-up artists did a wonderful job following our suggestions of the looks we wanted There was a bit of waiting around for the studio session but once we got down there it was great We were not rushed and the photographer helped with suggestions of outfits and with poses to get the best images We enjoyed looking at the images afterwards and selecting our favourite ones The packages are quite pricey but we appreciate the time of the studio photographer and the quality of the images which we then own when we buy them We would have liked a little photo album to take away on the day We loved the experience and will treasure our photos Thank you

We found the experience very enjoyable
We found the experience very enjoyable especially the process of getting glammed up and our photographer Abi was terrific He was professional yet managed to put us at easy and gave us wonderful directions As we were there for 4 hours we think it would be nice to be provided with some savoury snacks

Stunning photos
I visited Vanity Studios with my two teenage daughters We enjoyed the whole experience especially the photo shoot and as a result we have some stunning photos The only slight criticism is that we had to wait around a little longer than we would have liked When we got home and on closer inspection we discovered that two of our photos needed a slight retouch Vanity Studios were happy to do this for us and did it in a timely manner

my first photoshoot
overall a good experience I went with a voucher for a free photoshoot and one free image I ended up buying 10 photos staff and photographer were nice and professional My only negative is the lady who did my hair touched it for 2 minutes and in my opinion didnt help at all it was sticking out a bit and i went with an open mind with no products in for them to work thier magic it was cold outside so even some cream to moisturise my face or something would have been nice i got nothing but i looked good enough to buy some so that shows their quality
