Colin Charles Photography

I paid £50 for a voucher which included hair/make up for my wife and a free photo. Had the sitting and this went well. We booked in the viewing for a few weeks later and took away a price list and I was shocked. The cheapest photo to buy was £75 for a 7 by 5 which I think was way too expensive. When we attended the viewing I told Colin I had a budget of around £100 and asked if he could put them on a memory stick? A fair request I think and £100 to drag and drop takes a few seconds. It was met with a blunt NO. In the end I doubled my budget and paid £200 for 8 photos at a size of 12 by 10 inches. The photos arrived today and they do look great albeit only 10 by 8. Overall I feel a little cheated. Nice photos but expensive. I appreciate Colin has a business to run but surely he could make it more affordable to the working people.

Had a wonderful afternoon for my granddaughter's photo shoot. Maddie Louise did an absolutely amazing job with hair and makeup. Colin made them feel very comfortable and took some fantastic photos. Can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks and choose the best ones. Thank you for making the girls day fabulous

A few weeks ago I went and had a photoshoot with Colin who was so professional and lovely , I was a little bit nervous to start with but within minutes felt so at ease and Colin made me feel so comfortable. My hair and make up was beautiful and was just what I asked for. My mum brought this photoshoot as a Christmas present to build my confidence up and I can 100% say it has. Can’t wait to pick up my lovely photos , you can really tell that Colin loves what he does and takes a lot of time in making your experience amazing

What a great time we had! From start to finish the whole experience was completely professional whilst being such fun. Our awkwardness soon vanished as we adopted poses which were alien to us in everyday life, but which were clearly designed to give us great pics, getting us from all angles! Maddy did both our make-up and hair (for one of us) before we started and Matt worked tirelessly to change the backdrops to create a whole variety of different “looks”. We had “stitched grin syndrome” by the end of the session, Matt took SO many shots, which culminated in us having to choose between 90! We’ve made our final selection now and are very excited to receive them any day. Do make sure you check out the costs of the pics beforehand, especially if you’ve bought a “voucher”, to be sure you’re aware that this service is provided by highly professional people who have to earn a living. Loved the whole thing - thank you to Matt, Maddy & Colin, an experience never to be forgotten x

my twin and I got a voucher for our birthday and the whole experience was amazing, the make-up artist did an incredible job, the photos were really great and the photographer we had was so lovely and he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were pleased they gave us the price list in advance so we could work out our budget. We got a deal on the day, got seven great photos and a chill viewing experience which was really fun to do. All in all, wonderful experience, would definitely go back again :)

Amazing experience. Colin was really professional and the photos are beautiful (even if I do say so myself!)

We had a nice experience in our couple photoshoot with Colin. The service was very professional with great attention to detail. The picture came out amazing and we will be recommending this studio to everyone we know.

Visited Colin's studio today for a Boudoir photo shoot for my daughter, obviously haven't seen the results yet but couldn't not leave a review, what a truly amazing experience so far. Maddy done the make up and hair, exactly what was asked for and it turned out beautifully, Then it was over to Colin a true professional and total gentleman everything about it was first class he very kindly gave a sneak peek of a couple of the 'many' shots he took on his camera and I'm not exaggerating when I say we were blown away at how utterly gorgeous they were, we can't wait to get to view the photographs. We live an hour away so don't let any distance put you off the journey, the village is lovely to visit in itself. 100% recommend, and I know that the experience, the service, the life changing confidence it bought and undoubtedly the end results will be worth every penny.Thank you!Update! Went back to see the results of the photoshoot, the photographs, one word PHENOMENAL the selection process was made so easy, no pressure at all, which made it an even more lovely experience, so excited to collect the photos the only difficult bit was choosing as they were all unbelievably gorgeous. And I was right..worth every penny, for the quality alone, but clearly 'a lot' of time goes into not only the photograpy but the beautiful presentation, and on top of that the amazing experience, Fabulous!

Colin and his makeup artist were so lovely, they made me feel at ease with an experience that can be quite daunting! I am so happy with the photos I saw today, and I am so excited to pick up my final product! Thank you again Colin, will definitely be recommending you to friends and family! :)

We had a family photo shoot here and it was great. Colin was fab with the kids and we all really enjoyed the experience.He didn’t rush us and was patient with our little baby! Definitely recommend.
