"Me and my boyfriend Daniel went for a Venture session unsure about what to expect. Our photographer immediately made us feel at ease. We had a fantastic time trying different things for different photos! We had such fun too which we didn't expect! One of the most fun things we've done. Our slideshow of photos was amazing! We would recommend this experience to anyone! "

"My husband is very wary of 'this sort of thing' and I was worried that the photographs would look forced. I need not have been concerned. Our photographer was fantastic, she really understood where we were coming from and every single photo she put into our preview was 'us'."

"We have wanted a family memory for 22 years but didn't want a 'conventional ' portrait. Our time at Venture has produced personal art pieces that reflect our personalities and captured our expressions in an uncontrived/natural way that will be treasured for a lifetime. "

"We had an absolutely fantastic time at the shoot, we expected it to be all posed pictures and a boring photographer shouting "cheese" and "smile" but it was nothing of the sort, Venture made it fun, we never once felt like were having our pictures taken. I would recommend you to anyone! "

"When the studio then invited us to see the photos I genuinely believed that it would be a short process of looking through proofs - this session was one part of the experience I thought would be quick fast sell and lifeless. Instead it was something I will remember for the rest of my life .It took my breath away - it was wonderful seeing my family - even me displayed looking happy and having fun all together - caught in excellent images that reminded me of what is important in my life."

"I'm a mother of 3, the youngest who's 3, and both my husband and I work full time, so weekends are very important to us to have our family time. I realised we had plenty of pictures of the children over the years, but nothing that included us as a family, and of course our dog Henry. The day was fantastic!"

"The pictures Ben had took brought tears to our eyes, i never in a million years thought we would get pictures like he had that we could be proud of. They now have pride of place on the main wall in my living room where as you walk through the door they just hit you, every time i walk into the room i look and smile from ear to ear, they are absolutely amazing and i am so glad now we went on that day as they remind us of the fun we had and can have as a family."

"My mum and I decided to go together and use the photo as a gift for my Grandma's birthday. We didn't know what to expect and we were both worried about what we would end up looking like. The photographer was lovely and made us feel really relaxed, as was all the staff who I spoke to before and after the session. The viewing was amazing and I can't wait for my grandma to see the photo. The experience was so fantastic I’m saving up to go again and get a picture for my home."
