We had such an amazing experience at Vanity Studios for our couple photoshoot. Chev was incredibly helpful when it came to choosing our images — patient, friendly, and really made the process easy and enjoyable. They helped us narrow down our favorites without feeling rushed and gave great advice.

Brenardo, our photographer, did an absolutely amazing job. He captured everything exactly how we wanted and was so open to our ideas, while also adding his own creative touch to bring everything together perfectly. He made us feel comfortable, guided us well during the shoot, and truly understood the vision we had.

The whole experience felt professional yet relaxed, and the final photos turned out beautiful. Highly recommend Vanity Studios, Chev, and Brenardo to anyone looking for a great photoshoot experience!

What a great day, the venue is lovely, warm and stylish. We felt welcomed straight away and comfortable. This was our first photoshoot so had no idea what to expect. The makeup team instantly made us feel like superstars! Big thanks to Nancy and the team for making us look so pretty! And our photographer Bernardo was absolutely amazing and instantly settled our nerves. He knew exactly what we needed and made us feel really comfortable and relaxed. We felt so glamorous and beautiful. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured, instead we had fun, laughed and enjoyed our session. Lovely Stephan guided us through the pictures at the end and helped us choose the best pics for us to take home, thanks for being so warming and hilarious! We had a blast!

I’m sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision.
My next step is to contact Citizens advice Bureau and have my complaint escalated to Trading Standards. If enough of us do this, some action might be taken so that others don't have to walk out with on the spot finance they don't want and/or can't afford.
I bought the voucher in the Milton Keynes shopping centre. The lady stopped me and my daughter and was pushy and determined to not let us leave until we bought the voucher. I finally agreed after negotiating what I thought was a better price. Only after I paid for the voucher, she told me that I also have to pay £75 per person deposit when I book the appointment. I didn't understand why, but by that point I was already committed and didn't want to lose the voucher money I had already paid.
The photoshoot itself was enjoyable, and the photographer was friendly. However, my concern relates to the viewing and sales process that followed.
During the viewing session, everything moved very quickly. I was given a lot of information in a short space of time and felt emotionally pressured to buy a very pricey package. The lady, Chevaugn, was very skilled at using my daughter's excitement to pressure me, she was saying things like 'this is a good one, you must buy this one' and when I reluctantly agreed to their cheapest package of £650 !!! , she sprung into action and made sure everything was finalised in minutes before I had a chance to change my mind.
I was verbally directed step by step to open emails, click links, sign documents and confirm receipt of digital images. I received 6 emails in less than 10 mins , some with documents that I had no chance of reading. I did not feel I was given sufficient time or space to properly read and understand what I was signing, nor were the implications of confirming receipt, non-cancellation, or the finance arrangement clearly explained to me in a way that allowed me to make a fully informed decision. I had no idea I entered into an unregulated, non cancelable loan!!!
Only after leaving the studio and reviewing the documents, did I fully understand the terms I had agreed to. By that point, I was told that no changes or discussion were possible.
While the photos are nice, I personally found the sales process overwhelming and pressurised, and after looking into it more, it is all legal, but that doesn't make it ethical and the imbalance of information and power is extremely evident.

A fabulous, fun afternoon! Staff were lovely as well as professional, the atmosphere was relaxed and the hair and make up made all the difference to the photos!

I was so nervous when I bought a voucher for this at Musical Con as there are so many scare stories of hard selling and not being allowed to go without buying lots but we genuinely had a great time. Yes, it's not cheap if you want more pictures but equally if you want to just walk away with your included single picture having had your hair/nails/make up done no one is stopping you doing that.

Our photographer was Danny and he was lovely, really knew how to get good shots. I don't recall the names of the people doing our hair and make up but they were also great (I'm wary of having my make up done by other people but they listened to my concerns and I didn't look over made-up).

For anyone going, be prepared to spend out on a package as you will get good pictures, our viewing session was over 40 good pictures (2 of us individually), we just went through them all several times and compared/rejected a couple each time until we came to our final choice that fitted the package we chose to buy. The person selling the package/showing the pictures outlined the number of images at each price point and we got down to the number I agreed, I didn't feel pressured to go up to the next price band. Before we left he checked that the link worked for the download (you are sent this as a We Transfer file by email, you get 12 months to download them)

The studio was very busy when we went (just after schools had broken up) but our make up started close to our allotted time and we were out in plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day.

Amazing experience from start to finish. My daughter loved her makeover. The photographs taken by Bernardo were amazing and the photo selection process was very simple and helpful. Only regret was wish we could of afforded to buy more of the pictures. Would definately recommend!

It was excellent! Very professional

What a fabulous experience! A birthday treat for my daughter turned into a fabulous mother & daughter day. We wasn’t sure what to expect, not having done anything like this before but we had the best day. We were well looked after, the whole team were so friendly and really put us at ease. We also picked up some hair, makeup and posture tips. We are over the moon with the digital prints, something to treasure forever. Thank you x

I had an excellent day out at Vanity Studios. We had an amazing photographer Matteo, who took loads of photos and was great fun to work with. The images were were perfect, if a little expensive.

This was our first family photoshoot, and we felt a little nervous especially my two early teens daughter. Mainly for them I have booked this session as this is the perfect way to capture these precious years.
As we entered the studio we weren’t sure how everything would work. However, it turned into one of our most beautiful memories to look back on.
The hair and makeup artist was very friendly and welcoming, providing warm hospitality and making the waiting time comfortable. Photographer Matto is truly exceptional!!very creative and great at guiding us with poses. He made everyone feel relaxed and at ease, which helped us enjoy the entire session comfortably.

Overall, The quality of service exceeded our expectations, and it was completely worth the investment. We are truly grateful for such a memorable experience.
Thanks to all the team for your great service 🙏🏼✨

Had a great time at Vanity Studios today. My family and I were all made to feel very welcome and the hair & makeup artists did an excellent job. My daughters and I were all really pleased with our looks!
Danny the photographer was brilliant, he made us feel extremely comfortable and gave us lots of guidance during the shoot. He took lots of photos and we didn't feel rushed at all.
We've come away with some great photos.
My only concern was the way the booking deposit is required even after we had purchased a voucher. This seemed unnecessary and although our package included 2 pictures it was clear that there was no intention to let us leave without purchasing more with no chance of seeing the "deposit " again. However if you go with this expectation then you will have a great time and get some special photos.

The team at Vanity Studios went out of their way to provide a great package for our family. We had a great experience in the photo shoot with Danny as our photographer and were very pleased with the photos we received. It was easy to communicate through the booking process and everything ran very smoothly.

We were very happy with our photo shoot experience, the staff were lovely and we loved our photos.
Thank you

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Vanity Studios for our family photo shoot.
From the moment we arrived, the whole team made us feel welcome and relaxed. The hair and makeup were beautifully done; professional, flattering, and exactly what we’d hoped for and really helped us feel confident in front of the camera.
Our photographer was fantastic and even helped coordinate our outfits, which made such a difference and ensured everything looked cohesive and polished.
Every member of staff was friendly, patient, and highly professional, which made the experience enjoyable for the whole family.
The shoot itself was fun and well organised, and we never felt rushed.
We’re so pleased with the experience and would highly recommend Vanity Studios to anyone looking for a special photo shoot. We have some beautiful photos to cherish forever!

I wanted to reiterate my feelings following our phone call regarding this experience. I felt pressured into purchasing the offer at the Spirit of Christmas Fair. The sales approach came across as very pushy, and I felt cornered and trapped into buying the voucher. While you may view this as effective salesmanship, to me it felt misleading and left me feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Additionally, being asked to pay an extra deposit on top of an already purchased voucher does not make sense. In my opinion, the voucher itself should act as the deposit, with the understanding that it would be forfeited in the event of a cancellation or no-show.
Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and unfortunately, I would not recommend your services.

I had one of the most wonderful and fun experience. The photoshoot was absolutely amazing with detailed guidance how to make the best of images taken. I could not be happier with my images. Such a nice memory to keep. Each member of the team were amazing in their jobs and very professional. We also had a group photos taken that were absolutely amazing. Thank you very much Vanity studios for the lovely time and experience I and my friends had at your studio.

Very friendly staff, and lovely photos. The mini makeover for mum was really nice. Photographer was great with our one year old - he got great photos of her and us as a family

Your patience even when we did not arrive on time, for our appointment was greatly 👏 appreciated.

My daughter, Precious loved the experience as it is something she had always looked forward to doing since she was a little girl.
Getting this opportunity was second to none, when she least expected. Even when unwell, Precious was able to have fun with the camera!

This is what she had to say: "The experience was very enjoyable, the people were nice, encouraging and very supportive".

Thank you all for giving us your time to have a wonderful time!

The team were lovely, very helpful and experienced in their craft, the make up, hair and photos. The end product will be on their website, so look out for the mum and daughter duo.

Lovely studio. Recommend families to come and spend their day. Chev was very helpful and accommodating.
