Alan was absolutely amazing and made me feel so at ease and comfortable. I had never done anything like this before and he made my experience such an enjoyable one. My pics are amazing. Thank you
Alan was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and more! I highly recommend his services. Alan responded promptly to every inquiry and request, he was on time for scheduled appointments, he was courteous and professional, and delivered us outstanding pictures in less than 24 hours. He selected locations we had never imagined, and showed great sensitivity to light patterns that made our pictures not only precious memories but also pieces of art.
Alan was amazing with my son, so professional and very laid back. Very welcoming and patient. Thank you so much for an incredible experience, and the most amazing pictures of my beautiful little boy
Great experience! Photos turned out amazing, we got a selection of photos of our 4 week old son and some with myself and my partner which all look amazing. Alan made us feel comfortable and welcome, would definitely book in for another shoot for our son once he’s a little bit older:
My 5 year old daughter recently had the fairy – themed photograph experience. She enjoyed the setting , the idea , green fairy dress , wings etc. The photos got ready for us to view fairly quickly, like in 2 days. The viewing appointment was nice and quick for me. My daughter enjoyed watching every single slide of her photos. The studio was easy to get to by car, and parking isn’t a problem if you find the sign. I recommend it, as it’s a once in a lifetime experience for my daughter.
I have had 4 experiences at infinity studios, a 1st birthday cake smash, a newborn shoot, the Santa experience and most recently the fairy experience. I have 2 young children and Alan is very good at keeping things relaxed and helping the kids settle for natural photos, especially with my youngest who takes a while to warm to people, Alan gave him time and started talking to him about things he liked to bring him out of his shell. I always love the shots he captures as well as the added magic he uses to enhance the photos. I would definitely recommend the experiences for anyone with young children, my daughter absolutely loved the fairy experience and both her and my son had a great time on the Santa experience, we will be back again!
A Truly Magical Experience at all stages
We recently visited infinity studios for a fairy and elf experience. For our 4 year old daughter and just turned 2 year old son.
We were given a warm welcome. Alan made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He showed a lot of patience as our son was teething and not overly cooperative.
Our daughter really enjoyed interacting with the set and posing for her many photos.
We were given all the information about the packages available before returning to view our photos.
They were more beautiful than we imagined they would be and were very surprised at the number of photos Alan managed to get of our son. We weren’t really expecting many.
We had some very very tough choices to make as the photos were all spectacular. But managed to settle.
We’ve received our digital photos and are waiting on our framed pictures.
Here are a few of our favourites from the session.
Cannot recommend Alan and his services enough. The quality is extremely high. The photos are worth every penny and these memories will last a lifetime.
Such an amazing experience taking my maternity photos.
Lack of confidence was a main issue of mine however Alan made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the whole experience. And it won’t be a one to forget either.
Having your photos taken in-front of anyone can be a nerve racking experience, let alone such intimate photos, however Alan put me at ease and never pushed me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with.
He made me feel relaxed and happy within showing off my growing stomach and with every photo I grew more confident.
Warm and inviting environment, Alan allowed me to try different props and even when I challenged him with incorporating flowers into the shoot he was more than keen to oblige.
“ Imperfections” are now no longer a thing after Alan allowed me to see them in a different light.
Couldn’t recommend enough! Already booked in for newborn shoot and can’t wait to see the results.
Alan was brilliant for my maternity photoshoot. The experience was extremely comfortable for me and my partner.
He was very professional as well as down to earth and understanding towards my comfort levels being heavily pregnant. He talked me and my partner through every step and didn’t rush anything. Would highly recommend Alan and the photos are beautiful and made me feel beautiful and confident again.
Will definitely be returning for new born photoshoot when baby girl arrives.
Thank you again.
Alan has once again captured a precious moment in some amazing images, the arrival of my 4th baby forever saved in some amazing photos!
Having had numerous photo sessions with Alan over the last 15 years, I am always confident that the images taken will be outstanding!
Highly recommended to anyone looking for photos for any occasion
I have the most beautiful photos from a fairy photoshoot and a meet Santa experience. A lovely, cosy, warm space and Alan is fantastic with kids. I have just booked for this year’s meet Santa and cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you for the memories
Had the most beautiful morning at the fairy photo shoot Alan was great with harper who wasn’t 100% sure and included her newborn baby brother photos are amazing!
