Meeting · 4 guests · May 2023 · Warehouse Studios

The studio was lovely, really well lit with excellent equipment and responsive service ahead of the booking. The booking itself was only £120, which we felt was very reasonably priced. The facilities were great.

Not something that can be changed and perhaps it was just our team, but both the photographer and models found the location hard to get to.

Nightclub · 8 guests · November 2022 · Warehouse Studios

Great little studio that is ideal for a professional photoshoot, really great with communicating and very fun laid back and easy going. If you like doing business with people who are professional but don’t take themselves serious at the same time this is the place. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Can’t fault anything.
