I had my first shoot with Stan and Jan and what an absolute pleasure it was to shoot with them! They picked me up on time from the local station. All the communication before the shoot was easy and professional.

From the moment I arrived they were super friendly. Stan is very professional in his work. I felt comfortable during our shoot.

The photos we captured were looking really great! I would absolutely love to shoot with Stan and Jan again, without a doubt!

Thank you so much for a great shoot :)

My second visit to Eden garden, having seen the images from my first shoot it was an easy decision, another great shoot and fully anticipate more great images. Eden garden makes you feel so welcome too, whilst always being professional. I hope I get invited again and highly recommend.

Eden Garden is a lovely guesthouse spa to visit. Stan and Jan are so welcoming and the spa area is decorated so thoughtfully, I especially liked the 50s diner with pinball machine and jukebox. Oh and I should mention the photography - it was all very well planned before the shoot, sets and outfits were clear. On the day everything was very comfortable and professional. I look forward to seeing the images. Definitely recommend

We welcomed Stan to our Creative Portraiture Workshop today, Stan was great to work with, soaking up all the information being flung around during the four hours and coming up with some impressive images as a result .. Respectful and professional with a keen eye for detail and a creative streak too ..

Thank you Stan, it was a pleasure to have you here

Thanks Stan for coming along to the Creative Portraiture Workshop @TheUncommonStudio today.

This was our first shoot together and within a workshop environment, but I felt at ease modelling for you from the word go.

Your can do attitude towards learning was great to see and your images are looking cool too!

I really hope we get to shoot together again soon.

This was baby Amelie's first shoot with Stan and Jan, my fourth, my husband's third, but not the last for any of us!

As always, the hospitality was exceptional. Stan and Jan are fantastic company, and their spa is a perfect little retreat from the world.

We are delighted with the photographs and so grateful to have these precious moments captured.

Absolutely recommended.

First time working with Stan & Jan on a themed shoot at their home studio. Stan replies to my casting instantly and had so many ideas for the shoot & pre comms were excellent from start to finish. Made me feel welcome before even arriving.

I had an amazing shoot. We shot 1940s style looks on hay bales then worked up to creative nudes with Stabs creative ideas flowing.

I felt comfortable throughout, conversation flowed and Stan and Jan were very attentive.

I was able to use the spa after the shoot which was a nice treat for me and my partner. I can’t recommend them enough to anyone wanting to work with them!

They was very professional and was shown the back of the camera images which looked great!

Thanks again :)

Erm where to start...A big yes from me!

I think this might be the longest reference I have done for anyone on purpleport...

100% recommended!

I had a really fun shoot with Stan in his beautiful eden garden spa...He had some images he wanted to recreate...The best part of the shoot for me was when he wanted images of me in the jacuzzi...He had a pretend lens that I was dropping into the jacuzzi with a shocked look haha...

I stayed over night and they were so lovely to be around...I was always well looked after and made to feel comfortable...Jan was so warm hearted, really caring and I enjoyed her company...Stan had a brilliant sense of humour, alot of fun and I also really enjoyed his company...

The studio aka spa was immaculate and really beautiful...I took so many photos and videos in my own time, as I was so impressed...Stan and Jan designed this place themselves and if you get the chance to go here, you should!

PS they have an adorable cat called Oscar...I mean seriously adorable and lovable...

Thank you Jan and Stan from Sparkly Sparkles :-) :-)

My husband and I have had the most lovely weekend at Eden Garden with Stan and Jan. They are excellent hosts and manage to make you feel like part of the family and guests of honour simultaneously. Stan is always well prepared for shoots and has an eye for detail, meaning I am always assured of beautiful photos when I work with him. He incorporates all of the model's ideas to make sure everyone leaves with what they want.

100% recommended!

Another lovely shoot with Stan n Jan on Sunday. This time, I worked with 2 other models at their delightfully welcoming Spa Guesthouse. They are a truly lovely couple, perfect hosts and wonderful people. I recommend every other model should jump at the chance to work with them.

What can I say about Stan and Jan?

Starting with great pre-comms, Stan was painstaking in his determination to get the perfect shots for us both.

Then, we (my husband was invited too) were treated to expert hospitality, a delicious lunch and use of their spa.

We left long after we expected after being invited for dinner as well, the wine did not run out and we left feeling the most relaxed I think I have ever been!

Thank you Stan and Jan for such a wonderful day, I would recommend Eden Garden to any model wanting great images and to leave feeling like part of the family!

Stan came to an event I helped organise at Panavision. Stan's a real gentleman with a laid back personality. Very enjoyable shoot and would thoroughly recommend!

I had the most lovely stay with Stan and Jan, Eden Garden is like a small paradise in an urban jungle!

I was made to feel instantly welcome as they picked me up from the station, gave me a cuppa and sat me straight down into one of the massage chairs - the perfect start!

EdenGarden is such a lovely place to stay, warm, comforting and friendly. The jacuzzi and sauna are wonderful, and my room was everything I could have asked for - huge bed and a lovely rainfall style shower. And the food! They are both brilliant cooks.

My actual shoot with Stan was short but sweet, he had some really cool ideas with lighting and I think we got some great pictures.

Not only am I definitely coming back, I am mentally making a note of when my next tour is, because I can't wait to be back!

Thanks a million guys :)
