PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE avoid this man at all costs. He is not only out to scam you out of thousands of pounds but he won't stop with the pressure and will be very inappropriate as he was with me feeling up my leg and commuting sexual harrasment so he can get thousands of pounds out of you. Please learn from my mistakes. I 'won' a competition that he had advertised online (a lot of other women 'won' this competition as well) I had my photos taken and then a week later went to view them without any knowledge that I would have to pay nearly 3000 for just 23 photos (this did come in a box and frame but that it was just for 23 photos).
While in room at the top of the building, and the building was empty, he showed me the photos, and then made me feel very vulnerable because I don't know how dangerous he is, so felt I couldn't say no as he moved closer to me on his sofa and started to rub up my leg. I just wanted to get out of there. I initially thought I wanted the photos but then messaged back and forth wanting to change my order, and making the decision to cancel it all and try and get a refund.
Part of the reason is that he wanted me to have to see him again. He refuses to give you any money back even though you haven't received anything either. He did then email me saying he would give me a refund if I agreed to all his demands such as keeping my mouth shut about what he had done to me but has since ignored me. He is an awful person and I now just want to warn other people what he is like.
He also admitted he has video footage of the room. Which make me wonder what he videos women in there for. Please do not fall for his scam like I did and leave yourself in a very vulnerable position with him. I do need to contact the police I know.

Photo dog shoot: From arrival to departure was a very warm welcome. The photo shoot took just over an hour and I walked away pleased knowing that every effort was made to capture every possible moment that could happen. On returning a week later i went throughout the pictures with in mind that I wanted the 3 across in a wooden frame. Andrew helped me choose the best pictures for the frame at my request (we had an agreed budget of 500). The pictures turned out amazing and thankyou for the extra pics of both my girls. 5 stars from me thankyou Andrew.

We were given a pet shoot as a gift. Andrew was very patient with our puppy and managed to take some beautiful photos.

I had a family photoshoot done at Risbeys booking was really easy and even though I had to change it twice it was never an issue which was great. The photoshoot went really well and we got a good range of different photos. Lots of different options depending on your budget and I was really happy with the finished product. Highly recommend for fantastic quality and value and generally just having your photos taken by such a good down to earth guy.

Andrew took fabulous, enchanting photos of me and my daughter which we will treasure forever. Nat & Andrew were both very personable, professional and made me feel really comfortable. They were both great with my daughter and she loved being dressed as a fairy and exploring the photo set. The photos are just beautiful and the customer service received was brilliant. I would highly recommend

I had been looking to get a bridal bodouir shoot done and I came across this studio via a Groupon package. I didnt really know what to expect when booking. They could not have been any more helpful. Very chatty and made me and My friend feel comfortable from the onset. The shoot was brillaint and I cant fault the hair or make up. I needed this as a gift and with a very fast turn around. The photos had been viewed, edited and ready to collect within a week. They are just perfect. The gift set I choose was beautiful. Thank you! I will definitely be recommending
