Hired the studio at short notice and the help i got from my first contact was impressive. There was support throughout the shoot.

There is also a changing room which was very handy.

I am definately coming back.

I had the pleasure of being the model at the Village Photography (at the coach house ) a few weekend ago.

The photographers who came along were really lovely and chatty, friendly and welcoming, made sure I had a heater/cup of tea at the ready and was comfortable.

Happily recommend the group and the studio.

I had a great photo shoot tonight with these guys. A warm and friendly atmosphere so straight away I felt at ease. Coffee and biscuits offered and a lovely little changing room to get ready. Spent two hours having my photo taken by a great bunch of photographers and had laughs along the way. Time went too quickly. Would def recommend to any model to go and experience this.

Had a brilliant evening with the Village Photographic Group. I was given an lift to and from the station, it was an excellent studio to work in with a lovely group of people - highly professional from start to finish thanks to Jon's careful supervision. I've already seen a wide range of the images - really hard to choose which I'd like to keep. Thoroughly recommended.

I had my first shoot organised by Jon and Lisa and must say that they greeted me very well and I was looked after trough the whole group shoot.

Lovely people, friendly atmosphere and everything else went very well as I thought.

I would be more then happy to work with them again if needed.

Highly recommend!!!

Thank you:)

Having previously missed out on the chance to get involved in one of Jon & Lisa's camera club events previously it was nice to find that they had kept my details on file and remembered me when they were looking for male model for one of their evenings.

The studio itself is great, clean and tidy, with plenty of options for the photographers to work with, good facilities for the models and Jon and Lisa are welcoming, friendly, organised and really easy to work with.

Having circulated a link to my PP page to all those attending prior to the event it was really handy that someone took the initiative and brought along a sword to play which I believe added something a little different to the evening for those attending as well as doing some classic 'corporate' style headshots too.

Overall everyone who attended was really polite and friendly and I would be more than happy to help out again should the opportunity arise ever arise. Totally recommended :)

I was lucky enough to get involved in a Camera Club hosted by Jon and Lisa at the Coach House Studio. They were both fantastic.

All members were polite, friendly and professional which made me feel relaxed from the beginning.

The studio was a bit far but situated in a really cute village that worth to see and I would be happy to do it again if needed.

A big Thanks to the photographer who offered me a lift back straight to my door (won't say the name), it was more than appreciated.

I highly recommend them

I answered a call for a model for one of Jon's Photography Workshops at the Coach House Studio and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Was made to feel very welcome on the night by Jon & Lisa as well as by the various TOGS in The Village Photography Group and look forward to seeing their images created - my thanks for choosing me and i hope this isn't the last time i work with you guys

My first shoot at the Village Studio's, was a very late change of plan.

Jon and Lisa were exceptionally welcoming from the moment i opened the front door. Immediately i was struck by the professional appearance and cleanliness of the Studio ( What ? No clutter ), very well laid out and decorated.

Jon led a group shoot for a small group of six, with Seska J Model, the shoot was great with plenty of usefull tips and full explanation of lighting set ups.

Would recommend this Studio to anyone, whether group shoots or one to one bookings. Lisa makes a great cup of coffee, helping to make it seem like a shoot in your own home.

My sincere thanks to you both for such a wonderful experience.

I have been using the Village Studios fairly regularly for the last 2 years, having attended several Andrew Appleton and Jon Gray courses as well as some of the studio's model days.

Jon and Lisa are fantastic hosts, very friendly and wonderfully helpful with studio lighting set ups, backgrounds and ideas plus a never ending supply of tea and coffee! :o)

The studio facilities are fantastic, very spacious with a separate model changing area, very clean.

Very highly recommended.

I have worked at Village Studio's HEAPS of time's and everytime I go I thoroughly enjoy myself ! Not only is the studio very well eqipped and spacious but the owners Jon and Lisa are absolute STARS ! They are two of the lovliest people you will ever come across and are so welcoming and helpful. Whether you are a new or experienced photographer/model/videographer/lighting tech ... Village Studio's can offer you so much. Most recently I modelled for a Studio day at the studio and Jon was in assisting, guiding and helping the photographers with lighting, props, ideas etc which helped them shave off so much time by doing this to ensure the photographer's really got full advantage of the time they had booked and got the best images possible. Lisa is always happy to feed me :D and communication is always easy and smooth. They care very much about everyone who steps in those doors, especially the models where they go out of their way to ensure you are happy, comfortable, fed and watered and warm. I adore these two and feel like the studio's have become another home in many ways. HIIGHLY RECOMMENDED. My favourite studio by far :)

Village Studios has such a wonderful aura which is very welcoming. I was greeted by John in a professionals yet friendly demeanor allowing me to feel relaxed instantly. The studio is well equipped with many props to experiment with and different alcoves within the studio to choose to shoot from. The studio offers photography courses which are run by Andrew Appleton which are of fantastic value. I fully recommend working here, whether you are a professional or new model/photographer. Thank you!

Village Studios is not just a studio its a home from home with Jon and Lisa providing the perfect combination of technical brilliance and hospitality. Whether you have been shooting for years or new to photography Village Studios will surpass your expectations.Its the London base for Andrew Appleton's photographic courses which are fantastic value especially if you book early. Village Studios only use use the most photogenic and reliable models for their model days and the models themselves love working there. I therefore have absolutely no hesitation in recommending it as a location and resource for your next shoot

I held a studio day at Village Studios yesterday and had an awesome day! Jon and Lisa are really lovely chatty people who make you feel settled in straight away and relaxed and nothing is too much trouble. The studio itself was lovely and warm, with a roomy dressing room, lots of space and different sets, and there was plenty of tea through the day too, and everything was really well organised. This is a studio I'd not only recommend for its facilities but the warm and welcoming atmosphere (something which many of the photographers who turned up for the day also mentioned) as Jon and Lisa are lovely people, I had lots of fun and would definitely go back again. Thank you so much for having me down!
