Never had photos done at venture myself but I know some one who has. They are pricey but the photos they got were fantastic.

From what I heard from my friend she had a really good experience with them.

Wow that is expensive... defo worth it though, imo.

My brother is doing photography at college and has some really good stuff so we have free baby and wedding photos sorted. He usually does the spontaneous ones as well, as opposed to posey ones.

I bet theyll be lovely though! Youll have to post when you get them done!

venture are really really good, they take really funky modern photo's, like action ones rather than stanard portraits. me and my sister had some done as a present for me dad (his gf was paying) and I hate having pics taken but he made me feel really relaxed and I enjoyed it in the end........we picked the photo's and frame.....she nearly fell off her chair when they told her the pice though...£600..glad I wasnt paying.

We had some Venture photos done and they were lovely BUT be prepared for the hard sell. They make you go back a week after your session to look at the photo's they've taken and push you with all their packages.

We spent waaaay too much and yet they made us feel like cheapskates cos we went for the basic frames. The session was really good fun though and we're glad we did it. Just stick to your guns afterwards.

Oooo, they do 0% finance????

Yvanne hunnie, would you mind PM'ing me how much you spent and what you got for it??? There's a stand in town at the min offering the session and freebie photo for £25. I am tempted, but don't want to end up coming away with nothing cause I can't afford it!
