What can we say about Steve and Tash, other than they are brilliant at what they do! From our first meeting with them, they made every effort to make us feel at home and comfortable, accommodating to a heavily pregnant person along with an energetic girl who was incredibly excited about becoming a big sister. When we met them for newborn photo's they were just spectacular, making every effort to take such beautiful pictures and making our eldest feel special and including. We are looking forward to working with them again very soon and are delighted to have found a family photographer who we know will capture all those special family moments. Would 100% recommend!

We had a photoshoot for our 6 month old daughter and Steve and Tash were great. They were so good with her that she was full of smiles which made the experience even better! They explained what they needed me to do to get Maisie in the best positions for the photos and they were able to be quick enough we got some lovely seated ones while she was still a little wobbly. Thank you so much, the photos are great!

I wanted photos of my family to capture our first Christmas with our 1 year old. Steve and Tash were exceptional in making us feel comfortable and dare I say, attractive. For us, we really wanted our son to come out well, and Tash made it her job that day to ensure he was entertained so much, that he was smiling and laughing in every picture. Steve even took extra pictures of him alone, since my son was having such a good time.
They let him roam free in the studio to be curious and therefore comfortable with them, and offered extra props for his pictures. And then when choosing the photos for the final package, they were very helpful and professional in preparing it. They were not pushy or trying to upsell anything. They let me decide on what I wanted and only offered help. i-d Image Development is a fantastic experience, our photos came out beautifully. They are professional, friendly, and they honestly just feel like your mates who want you to have a good time. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. The Bennett family.

I signed up for the beginner's course with only a rudimentary understanding of cameras and the settings, I just left it on auto the whole time. Steve and Tash had excellent knowledge of photography and made me feel welcome from the start. Both were approachable and made the course not just fun but relevant to my interests in photography. Since the course, I am now in manual most of the time and I am thinking about the settings I need to use to achieve the photo I am looking for. Furthermore, I can see improvements in my photos after just a couple of days. I cannot recommend them enough, thank you for making it such an enjoyable learning experience. I will be back for the intermediate course in the near future to further develop my skills.

We took our dog into i-d Image studio to have his photo taken, everything went amazingly smoothly and he happily posed like a pro. The end result is we have a stunning and beautiful portrait sized picture of our dog, which everyone that sees it admires. Thank you so much

Thoroughly recommend the Photography for Beginners Course. I wasn't sure if this was for me, but both Steve and Tash made me feel relaxed and welcome from the start. Both are extremely knowledgeable and passed on that knowledge in a way that was both practical & fun. The course covers a lot of ground, but there is lots of opportunity to engage and to practice using the various skills covered. I left feeling enthused, with a much better understanding of how to set my camera up to take a photograph - and that I need to learn patience :- I'm now practising my new found skills and gaining confidence using the manual mode on my camera!

I definitely recommend the photography for beginners course. I started the course with very basic knowledge of DSLR camera, But after the course I am very confident to use with manual settings, can see the difference in my photos. Steve and Tash were superb teachers had excellent knowledge on photography. They kept us engaged throughout the course with more informative and at the same time maintaining good hospitality & lots of fun. Though its short time I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be back to do the intermediate course. Thank you Both :

I signed up for the beginners photography course, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is new to photography or lacks confidence using their camera. Both Steve and Tash are very informative and patient too. They make the whole process fun and I felt comfortable enough to ask questions and seek help without being made to feel stupid! After a shaky start understanding the technical session, I found the following practical sessions help the penny drop! And would like to thank both Steve and Tash for explaining everything so clearly and making photography so enjoyable

Great fast friendly service. I needed a passport photo and was able to get a digital file and 6 passport size photos for 11. Will always use this service rather trying to do my own. Very fast response to my initial enquiry and able to just turn up - No booking required. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.
