John is the photographer/owner of Model Portfolio Photography. He has been part of creating beautiful model portfolios for 20 years.

With these years of experience under his belt, he has dealt with many types of people—infants, children, teens, and adults. This has given him the ability to work well with them, producing exceptional photos.

We particularly think that he’s excellent with children. Most children would instead run around, play, and get too distracted to finish the photo shoot, but the children were highly cooperative with John. 

John knows how to talk to them and reassures them that the shoot will be fun. We also appreciate his advice for clients, telling them when their poses won’t reflect nicely to the camera.

We also like his studio’s pricing. John’s studio offers one-hour free sessions to anyone; the clients can buy the photos from this session (usually 100 photos) for £150.

However, this photographer is only limited to model portfolio photos. He doesn’t offer event photography, which we believe isn’t his forte.

During some of his photography sessions, he had difficulty working with people moving fast. This is disadvantageous for events where people are constantly moving and everything is fast-paced.

It’s also unfortunate that the studio doesn’t provide makeup, props, and clothes. You’ll have to take care of these yourself.

Andrew Wood Photography is famous for producing sexy and confident photos, but aside from this, they offer newborn photoshoots and more. 

We think they’re excellent at photographing and accommodating women of all shapes and sizes. From the moment you enter their establishment, staff members greet you with warm smiles and a glass of bubbly.

Before the shoot, clients are provided makeup and hair styling according to the style they want to portray in the photos. 

But the studio will tell you to bring your own lingerie and other clothing items for hygienic reasons. 

After the shoot, you’ll be offered Photoshop services. This allows clients who want to remove certain flaws or unwanted tattoos for the printed final photos. 

We also think it’s nice that the clients have their own private viewing within the company’s private cinema suite. 

Although we praise this company for giving the best services from start to finish, we hate to say they’re very expensive. The studio charges twice what a typical photographer would.

We can’t see why some of their sessions cost £600 for ten digital photos and a few prints. We understand their equipment, location, props, and other aspects factor into the price, but we think it’s excessive.

However, the studio does offer clients the option to spread out their payment across 12 months, giving them more chances to avail of this studio’s service. Still, we don’t recommend these photographers to anyone on a budget.

For over ten years, Neilson Reeves Photography has served many clients, including corporations, businesses, and actors. 

This studio offers its clients a wide variety of services like event photography, website photos, actor headshots, and corporate photos.

We appreciate that this company is a great listener for clients with a vision in mind. The staff is also great at executing these ideas and creating the output their clients want.

They’ve exceeded our expectations. We believe that because of this ability, this studio gathered loyal clients from companies that want photos for their websites or online accounts. 

However, this studio doesn’t do an excellent job with Photoshopping. Since this shop is not a recreational photography company, this won’t be a problem for most of their clients.

This business focuses more on the professional side of photography. Clients use their images on brochures, portfolios, professional profiles, and websites. 

After looking at this company’s services, we think its packages are expensive and cost a few pounds more than we think they should. Their packages don’t include makeup and hair sessions, which makes them more expensive.

But if you purchase the bigger packages, you will find yourself saving more money. So we suggest if your needs fit the bigger packages, pick those instead.

Sandi Hodkinson Photography, a one-woman photography business, has been operating for 25 years.

In those years, Sandi had built an extensive portfolio with pictures of people, companies, and products. She even had a chance to be a trusted Google Street View photographer. 

We see the dedication Sandi puts into her job. She goes out of her way to visit anywhere in the northwest to capture images for her clients.

She also knows how to adjust to her client’s needs, like location changes and style shifts. Her years of experience must have taught her how to beautifully bring her client’s vision to life. 

Along with her flexibility, another plus is that she can deliver these services swiftly. You can call her for an appointment, and she can cater to you wherever you want to do the session within a day to a week. 

However, for people who had just discovered her business, it would be hard to believe she’s a legit photographer. 

We can say that her weak website design and social media presence don’t accurately reflect the quality of her work and her skills. She can still use some improvements in her online branding to attract new clients. 

There’s something about how Nika, Wild Ginger Photography’s photographer, takes photos. We noticed a sense of happiness in the memories this studio captures, something other entries rarely show.

We want to praise the photographer for creating a beautiful piece of those moments captured by her camera. If you browse their portfolio, you can see that they value family; they fully captured the essence of a family. 

In addition to that talent, Nika knows how to excellently capture candid moments from any event the studio covers, especially weddings. We believe a photographer’s job is more than just taking pictures but also immortalizing moments in their clients’ lives. 

The studio’s creativity also adds to its long list of talents. Probably its most famous photography service is its conceptual photos. 

They have a way of bringing infants and toddlers to pose accordingly to the concept, incorporating fun themes during each session. We can’t help but be in awe of their cute sibling photos. 

However, in every business, there’s a catch, and this business’ is that its packages and additional prints are expensive. 

Of course, with notoriety comes the possibility of increasing their prices. This business isn’t an exception. 

So if you want to avail of this studio’s services, make sure you are ready to pay more.

We’d also like to mention that this studio may sometimes be busy also because of their popularity. If you go to their studio on a day when they have a lot of clients, you should be extra patient.

David Stubbs is an internationally acclaimed wedding photographer from Manchester.

What we love the most about his style is how he creates unique imagery with his signature unposed style. He takes everything unposed and natural, capturing all the real moments.

He’s a member & multi-award winner of Fearless Photographers. He’s also been featured in many listings like ‘Top UK Photographer’ and ‘Best Wedding Photographer’ and published in the best awards, blogs & bridal magazines.

We think he’s absolutely terrific from beginning to end. He’s great to talk to and the results he delivers is even better.

We haven’t met a photographer that’s this committed to his craft and we’re amazed at how you can hardly feel his presence during the celebration so there’s no pressure to pose or curate anything.

He’s fantastic but he only shoots 30 weddings a year so if you’re interested we think you should get in touch with him as soon as you can to secure a slot.
