Are you open at weekends?
Yes! We know lots of our customers work and/or have childcare or other family commitments so to accommodate you, we are open on both Saturdays and Sundays from 9.30am to 5.30pm. We also offer sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings (last session at 8pm) and all day Friday too (last session at 5pm)!
What is the style of photography?
Before Venture’s launch, portrait photography was characterised by traditional stiff, lifeless, posed portraits. At Venture, we don't just do portraits. We tell the kind of stories that can transform the character of a home. We capture images full of genuine character and emotion and then hand-craft them into unique pieces of contemporary art that bring the spirit of life to your space like nothing else can. We find that we achieve the best results when people are relaxed and having fun - a very different approach to traditional portrait photography.

How long does the photography session last?
You will spend an hour in our state-of-the-art studio. It’s relaxed, informal and lots of fun. Bring your own props and lots of personality, and let our fabulous photographers do the rest.
Do you photograph individuals/couples/groups etc?
The £25 offer is specially designed for complete families - but generally the more members of the family that come along the better. We have examples of sessions where as many as 25 people attended. However if you are in any doubt please contact us for further details. You can use one voucher per family per year regardless of whether there are three people or 30 in your family group.
Venture does undertake sessions for couples but please remember that the £25 Venture Experience offer is designed specifically for families, so you will need to check with us on availability and for our latest offers.
For individuals and non-family groups, we charge a £50 session fee for a one hour session and our prices for images start at £95.

Can I bring different outfits and props to the photography session?
Bring a change of outfit, your own props and lots of personality, and let our portrait photographers do the rest. When the studio calls you to confirm your appointment they will talk to you about what ideas you have for the photography session and what to bring.
