Andrew Wood Photography Reviews 

I won the 50 shades photoshoot, and I couldn't recommend the studio more. From reception, to hair and makeup, to the shoot with abigail I was transformed. I felt confident and beautiful, and the whole process was VIP from the get go. I took home 3 A4 photos and I was impressed with the high quality finish. Definitely changed my outlook on my body - thank you andrew wood photography!

I really enjoyed my experience there, the staff were freindly and my makeup and hair looked stunning for the shoot. I was nervous at first but my photographer Hanna made things easier, she was nice and we had a laugh in the middle of poses. It's definitely something I recommend every women try at least once, it's definitely an empowering and pampering experience.

I had a great experience with Andrew Wood photography. I won a boudoir shoot through a Facebook competition, and I was contacted to get this booked in. It was something I wanted to do anyway so this gave me the push I needed. I don't think I would have booked if I wasn't contacted.

I had a few calls before my shoot to go through what I wanted and they gave me ideas of props to bring to make it more personalised.

On the day of the shoot I was nervous but I was made to feel welcome and comfortable. My make-up was flawless and i pretty much gave the make up artist free rein on the make-up because I'm not really someone who wears make-up and I wanted something different.

What I liked was that the shoot was private with just me and the photographer. It made it much less awkward than I thought it would be. The photographer was very experienced and creative.

Because it was difficult for me to fit in a time to return for the viewing I was offered to have my photos fast-tracked for the following day which was amazing as I was already staying overnight in Manchester.

I was flawed by the photos, they were all so beautiful and I never thought I could look the way I did. I've never thought of myself as sexy and that's exactly how I felt when I viewed the photos. I ended up purchasing 10 digital photos but I was also given a voucher for 2 free photos, and had the one print I had won, also I was able to swap my deposit for a second print.
The only downside is that I only have 1 photo I can show people as the others are NSFW. But at least my partner and I can enjoy them!

my photoshoot experience made me feel incredible! like a princess and a model all in one, it was the most empowering thing i've done and i would definitely do it again! definitely recommend for anyone looking to boost their confidence because i'm on cloud 9 still a week after!!

I loved every moment of having my make up done! Such a friendly MUA

Juliana has worked magic with her brushes and made me feel really happy in myself thank you!!

Had an absolutely amazing experience with Juliana. Went in feeling really nervous and her aurora itself instantly made me feel calm. Felt like an absolute queen after she had finished. Thank you so much 💜

Thank you so much for the experience! I had the luck of winning a free photoshoot competition, I was so nervous at first but the team were so welcoming and friendly. The make up team make you feel right at home and make sure you look good without pushing any of your limits, and photography team make you feel soo comfortable and good about yourself and guide you through everything so no need to worry! Id 100% recommend this experience to anyone of any age,gender,size or shape.

The whole experience is one memory I never want to forget. The greeting, the make up, the photo shoot and best of all my album full of sexy pictures.

An amazing way to feel confident. I'm fairly certain that their business plan is to run competitions so that most people "win" a photoshoot and then they make their money from selling you the photos, but I hada wonderful experience from start to finish, from the waiting room through to receiving the photos. A few of the photos were odd, slightly unflattering poses but the vast majority were beautiful and I love them so much.

Had a great day! All the ladies were lovely, friendly and welcoming

The photographer was totally amazing

Incredible experience, incredible staff and very professional, I’ve been recommending this company to everyone after having a photo shoot a few weeks ago with them. Could not fault it one bit 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I cannot say enough how truly amazing this company is. The customer centric view is incomparable to anything I've ever experienced... From start to finish from even booking this experience, the enthusiasm the staff share with you just brings on so much excitement and anticipation. The staff really listen to what's important to you, how you want to look and feel, and make sure you feel the best you can on the day and everything there after. The photos are amazing and it's so hard not to love them all. Everything they do is about women empowerment and they really live up to that

Amazing from start to finish. The ladies are all so helpful from first booking until up to the viewing appointment. Helped me a lot with make up and hair as I was clueless, perfectly suited my face but not too heavy either. The photographer Jess was amazing also I was very nervous but she made me feel at ease and comfortable, directed me with poses and props. My photos looked absolutely gorgeous and I cannot wait to show them off. After having 3 children close together it was the perfect confidence boost I needed. Massively recommend to everyone to take the leap and get it done. Will definitely be returning

This was a great experience from start to finish. The team are all lovely and professional. The customer care was excellent as nothing was too much trouble and the team were happy to answer any questions. Hannah the photographer was amazing, she was very lovely and made the photo shoot really enjoyable as I did have some pre shoot nerves. I cannot recommend this experience enough as it was a real confidence boost and got to see myself looking and feeling confident in my own skin - which has been a very long time since I have felt this way. The attention to detail throughout was incredible and very well planned. The entire process was smooth and I was well informed and felt comfortable throughout the entire process.

Amazing. They made me feel so confident, comfortable and sexy

My sister who has issues regarding her body image was told that she had won a competition for a free photoshoot. What she didn't realise was that everyone who enters the competition wins the same prize! She asked my wife to drive her to Manchester from Somerset for the photoshoot. With time to charge the electric car and traffic, the journey took 4 hours each way. The 'shoot' took over 3 hours from signing in but that did include hair and makeup, so not as bad as it could have been. When the shoot was finished, they told her that she needed to book in again within 4 to 7 days to 'review the pictures'. Not easy when you have to consider 8 hours driving for a 1 hour appointment! She was absolutely made to feel that they wouldn't let her leave until she booked the follow-up appointment. This 'viewing appointment' is described as you sitting in a 'cinema-like environment' with drinks and popcorn while you're shown a slide show of your photos. Well worth 8 hours of driving for - NOT!

Then there are the available packages which range in price from £645 (for 10 images on a USB key - even though the rest of the world has moved on from technology that old) through to £3160 for digital and printed images and a bonus printed canvas to put on your wall! At it's conception, you'd have paid less for a timeshare from the 'prize' scheme and at least you'd have got a weekend away into the bargain! Ironically, you'd probably have gone home with more than 30 photos as well!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Their leaflet talks about the average spend being between £600 and £1200 (absolutely impossible when the lowest price is £645!). Surprise, surprise, they offer credit for people spending more than £700 - yet more hard sell to force people to spend more than the minimum!

Of course, part of their hard sell is that they offer you 2 free images if you go back for the 'viewing' and that they'll 'refund' your deposit. What they mean by 'refund' is that they'll knock it off of their ridiculously expensive package prices! When my sister explained her difficulties in coming back, she was basically told that she had no choice and blackmailed with the potential return of her deposit if she returned. She was also told that they needed 4 days to 'edit the pictures' and that she had up to 7 days to book her return appointment giving her a 3 day window for that appointment. They were kind enough (or determined enough to try and rip her off further) to allow her to book an appointment on the bank holiday Monday! In the modern day and age, they offer no non-face-to-face alternative to viewing in person such as Zoom, Teams, Skype, or any of the other multitude of online applications, but insist that you have to be there in person. Why do they do this? They'll never admit it, but they do it because hard sell tactics don't work over the phone or online!

This is NOT a scam but simply use of underhand and unfair techniques to sell someone something that they don't need or even really want! The scheme predates on those who have issues with their self esteem and body images and hopes that the £50 deposit with persuade them to throw good money that they don't really have after bad for an album of photos that realistically costs a few quid to put together! Get together with some girly friends and spend your day drinking Prosecco, doing hair and makeup, and having a huge laugh as you take photos of each other on your phones. You could even buy a decent printer, ink and photo paper to print your photos for less than your £50 deposits added together! Please don't get conned! I'm sure that if you're a model needing photos for a portfolio these photoshoots are worth it as a business expense, but for the average woman, they simply offer to make you feel better about yourself while actually leaving you feeling worse!!!

Interacting with customers on a regular basis before the photoshoot ,little gifts & messages sent. Lovely friendly staff.Would recommend

I had the glow experience, what an absolutely amazing experience to have. You get to feel beautiful with having your hair and make-up done, Georgia did my hair and make-up, it looked stunning! Leah was my photographer she was amazing too. She guided my throughout the shoot and the photos were perfect! I loved every moment! Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! Made to feel special throughout. Fantastic photos too, made me feel like a superstar ❤️
