Venture portraits a quick run down
My company booked some venture time at venture portraits, of which I was one who attended and I must say as professional women who likes being on the go and hates the very thought of standing still having my photo taken. How quickly I was wrong, the venture portraits photographer had us jumping up and down, running on the spot and making silly star jump shapes. What he captured was the energy of the team and the “On the go†perspective that we all ooze in our working lives. As a company day out it was fantastic, everyone has their own personalities off camera but when you in front it's just you and you have to personify your image. This can be difficult for people who may be self conscious but the photographer at Venture portraits had us all like putty in his hands. Great day, fantastic time and a really fun company day out – only problem is seeing just how relaxed we were on the office walls every day I walk down the corridor! Clients love it as it shows a quirky and fun side to us. Thank you Venture for a great venture portraits experience.

Venture portraits Fun Fun Fun
Venture portraits gave us a great day and a fantastic photography experience. It can't be easy for a photographic studio to sell an experience; I mean how do you do that? I was in two minds whether to go to Venture portraits as I'd heard a lot of bad things about them, through the internet but never word of mouth and I had a friend who went for his experience and he came out with totally the opposite view. For this reason alone I went in to see them, had a great chat with the photographer and booked a session in with the Warrington studio. It is nice sometimes to witness and experience a professional at work; it really changes your whole persona especially when so many reviewers are putting these guys down. The best thing to do is go to the site and find the nearest one to you and speak to them. I did and I had a great time and I liked very much the results shown at the review. It was a little on the costly side, but like I always say quality doesn't come cheap and it's the memories and experience that I take away which makes me do two things really, one is right a review and the other is recommend them. So thank you Venture portraits, I had a great time.

Venture portraits achieved the impossible and produced some fabulous imagery.
I wanted to surprise my husband for his birthday so I took my daughter to Venture portraits with me and we had a studio family portrait. Jennie my daughter is a typical teenager, rebellious, strong minded and opinionated so I knew Venture portraits had a real challenge on their hands getting her to sit in front of a camera. Even more difficult because Jennie hates having her photograph taken, so I was a little apprehensive at how the day would go. We met the photographer, sat and had a coffee and chatted about what we wanted to achieve and he came up with some great ideas that would work really well for what we wanted. He instantly put Jennie at ease with the camera and the results were fantastic. We now have some great family shots to look back on and my husband's face was a picture at the reveal as he just didn't expect it. A great time had at the studio and great results.

Venture portraits more than just an experience
On the day of our venture portraits experience we were assigned Simon as our photographer, he was really nice and friendly and very easy to talk to. He sat us down and asked us what we wanted to get out of the experience, he showed us different types of experiences that others have had to give us ideas and inspire us to do the same or something different. He was great with the children, we all know that kids are a handful at the best of times and trying to get them to focus on one thing is enough never mind posing for a photographer who is trying is level best to get the photograph he wants! However Simon suffered none of this, he had the children running around and jumping and really letting them enjoy themselves and took some great photo's. A little later on in the day we had some more serious photographs taken with the family and the now much quieter children – great memories. Simon really made our day and he made the children the centre of attention – great photographs! Fantastic review day! Super results! Thanks Simon at the Venture portraits studio

Venture portraits celebration
I booked myself in to Venture portraits for a family session for my 40th Birthday. I had read quite a few comments on various sites about venture portraits, some good and some bad so I decided to just do it and see for myself. The staff were very friendly and looked after us throughout the day, I didn't realise how difficult and unnatural it actually feels being in front of the camera when your within a studio. The photographer picked up on this though and instantly focused his attention on making me relax and enjoy the experience. Everyone had a great time and the memories we have of that day are reflected within the superb photography. We went back for the viewing, anxious isn't enough to describe my feelings but I was really happy with the results. We spent in total about £400 on the photography, but those images will last a life time. Maybe we could have gone somewhere cheaper but it's about the experience.

Venture portraits experience
My boyfriend and I visited the Leicester branch of Venture portraits for a Venture portraits session although we were unsure about what to expect. I had heard that the photographers in their take photography to new heights and they prefer you to be quite active and funky – lifestyle shots. So we went prepared for that and had a wonderful time, the photographer immediately made us feel at ease. I can't say that I feel great in front of the camera, I'm not shy but I wouldn't say confident either, in the end 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! We're definitely thinking about going back and taking the family for some portraits and group photography. If you haven't experienced celebrity photography before, I think this is pretty damn close.

Venture portraits with a Smile
I had been thinking about a venture portrait for the family and not being great in front of the camera I was a little apprehensive about having a venture portraits studio but the photographer was fantastic and we both had such fun. I really enjoyed my time there and loved the whole experience. We visited the Liverpool studio and I spent the whole morning with the family, the venture portrait experience was one we will never forget and we have the venture portraits at home to remember. If you think you'll be nervous or self conscious in front of the camera like me then you might find it useful to go in and chat to the photographer or photographers beforehand, get a feel for the studio first. I am sure they'll be welcoming and all too happy to show you around and talk you through what they do or what you can do – options. It was quite expensive but quality isn't cheap, when we returned for the revealing I almost cried, great time, highly recommend them.

Venture Portraits Photography with a Smile
Venture Portraits My family and I visited a Venture portraits franchise to have our portraits taken in Warrington; only last week and to be honest I was taken by surprise considering what I have encountered with the online reviews. A friend recommended them as we were looking for a family portrait, a family venture portrait with everyone that is, James my youngest was behaving like a typical 3 year old racing around and had no intention of standing still. Patience was needed and I have to say the staff at Venture portraits were great with him as they were with all of us. The setup was perfect, great studio, warm and friendly staff and encouraging - even with James! I dare say we could have found somewhere cheaper but a friend recommended them so we decided to go and I'm glad we did. The Venture portraits results were very good, I probably spent more than I should have, but the photography will last a life time which is what its all about - isn't it? As an experience I couldn't find fault with the Venture portraits service, I've done a few weddings myself, I wouldn't say I'm an expert but more an overly-keen amateur. I could have done our own but sometimes its nice to relax infront of the camera and have the weight of responsibility removed. If your thinking about it, then I'd recommend them, yes Venture portraits probably do cost more than a few others and if cost is an issue then shop around. The Venture portraits we have, were happy about. Mike Jones Summary: The Venture portraits was a great experience, one enjoyed by all the family
