Advantages: Slightly cheaper than Venture

Disadvantages: Not enjoyable, pressure to spend

I visited the Centenary studio based in Wednesbury, West midlands, after purchasing a gift voucher from a stand out shopping, this was for a photo shoot and a free picture.. Having the photos taken was fine, the photographer was professional enough but he wasn't as warming as Venture or Olan Mills generally are... the prices are a little lower than venture however the final photos weren't to the same standard, it seems being a small business there was just the one person working there, it is a very small studio also.

After the photos were taken we were made to make an appointment for a slide show viewing, the slide show itself was impressive however there is alot of pressure to buy the photos even though I had the voucher for my free photo which is what I was hoping to go away with. I couldn't have the photo on that day and had to return when I would be purchasing more photos from the shoot to obtain the free one.

I wouldn't go back as I think going to other studios have been much more enjoyable experiances and less pressure is put on you to spend as much.

Summary: Ok if you live locally, ok photos but I wouldnt go back

What a load of old rubbish , I have been to the studio many times with my children and I have found all the staff very warm and helpful , the session was very enjoyable and we ended up with some great images.
There was no pressure in the sales room at all compared to venture which I have been to in the past , the prices were two thirds cheaper the venture and the standard and service was to the same high level.
All the photographers were fantastic with my children and I would recommend this studio to any family or friends!
