Booked myself on a model day at Andrew Griffiths Saracen House studio with Megan Cash.

Been to Andrew’s new studio before and couldn’t wait to get back to shoot again. An amazing model but equally amazing studio facilities with plenty of lighting, great mix of plain backdrops and props together with a new boudoir set made the shoot totally enjoyable. On top of that Andrew is also the perfect host, coffee always on the go, and available for technical help when needed.

Thanks Andrew see you again very soon

I am a huge fan of the new Saracen House. I’ve shot here for 3 full days now and it’s my first choice studio in the region.

Everything just works and it has enough of everything to keep my backgrounds interesting and fresh and it has all of the lighting, grids, soft boxes and primary studio props you could ever want. Andrew is always so helpful and available and nothing is ever to much trouble. The models I shoot with always highly rate the facilities as well - which is very important if your plans involves working with one model for the whole day.

Thanks Andrew - see you soon !!

After a long time planning we finally got to shoot together and what a super fun shoot it was! :D

Andrew is a very chilled, chatty and friendly guy with an eye for detail when shooting. He is a really creative guy and will take time to prep each set, to make sure he captures the best image!

He was very helpful with transport and made sure i had plenty of breaks in between sets. Which I now have a new found love of Lotus biscuits, Haha! :P

Andrew was very helpful with modelling direction, whilst also letting me model freely. :)

Looking forward to seeing the images and can't wait to come back to the studio. :D

Highly recommended!

Amazing shoot with Andrew after a few years and absolutely loved it. Really amazing guy and so chilled and chatty. Gave good direction and had a laugh along the way. We got some really great shots for both our portfolios and shooting there again next Monday, absolutely loved the new studio! Looking forward to seeing Andrew again :D

Attended my first studio day at the new Saracen House Studio (SH2.0) shooting with Tammy.

As usual the attention to detail from Andrew was superb there's a lot other studio owners can learn from this guy. The new studio is great but the best thing really is the quality of the lights the Bron's really make a difference.

The only fault was the tea, the second cup was better than the first :) Andrew forgot I have my own 'special' mug, it was quite early

I highly recommend this studio and working with Andrew, the studio was always head and shoulders the best in the area, SH2.0 has just raised the bar even higher.

Shot at the new studio for the 2nd time. Got some amazing shots with Laura. Andrew was a great host as always and on hand to assist when needed. Tried a new lighting setup and Andrew was on hand to help. If you've not been here yet, do it. You'll not be disappointed.

Brilliant studio stocked to the gunners with the best gear. Andrew was incredibly helpful offering advice, guidance and freshly brewed filter coffee. Very clean, tidy, well decorated all added to the professional high end experience. Can’t wait to book again. Although I did drop a very expensive beauty dish. Ouch! Sorry.

I was booked for a shoot at Saracen House yesterday afternoon. I loved the studio, it was beautiful, especially the boudoir room (which unfortunately I didn’t get to use- but Andrew and I are planning a shoot together soon!)

Andrew was an amazing host, really easy to get on with, friendly, chatty, bit of a sense of humour 😉 I’d recommend 100% and hope to be back soon!

Loved shooting at saracen House again! Andrew is so lovely and an amazing photographer, although my shoot wasn't with him this time he is super attentive and really good at directing photographers. I will always recommend saracen House, many different features/backgrounds to work with. 100% reccomended as always :)

I enjoyed a great shoot at Saracen House last night and as always Andrew was very helpful setting up the lighting as I had asked prior to my shoot.

The studio is warm with a great assortment of lighting and backdrops etc. the coffee flowed during my shoot. I look forward to shooting again at Saracen House soon.

Had my first visit for a 4 hour photoshoot on Saturday afternoon. To put it simply Saracen House is a great studio!

Warmly welcomed and given a tour round the facilities as it was my first visit. The studio space itself is very well laid out, with more than enough options for variety and very, very well equipped with a great selection of lighting & modifiers, quite simply everything you would need for a successful photoshoot.

Help was provided as and when we needed it, really couldn't ask for more. I will definitely be back soon.

First shoot day at Saracen 2.0...definitely the 2.0 version though for sure. 1.0 was great, but 2.0 is just cracking. Great space, super slick, super smart, all Alexa’d up...not sure if Andrew’s had an upgrade but his advice and support didn’t need it...great day!

I have just enjoyed yet another shoot at the delightful studio owned and run by Andrew Griffiths.

I have lost count as to how many times I have visited Saracens House which in itself speaks volumes. Andrew is one of the most knowledgeable and technically experienced photographers one could ever wish to meet: ever helpful and always willing to go that extra mile to ensure one has a successful and enjoyable shoot.

This is now of course at the new and improved premises, which Andrew has worked like a Trojan to get up and running as soon as possible. The facilities are awesome and for anyone who has not had the pleasure of visiting Saracen House, I suggest you seek a session as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and the coffee is good too.

Fantastic Studio, attended as part of Andrew Appleton's course on studio lighting, Andrew (the other one) the studio owner ran everything else smoothly ensuring that everything went as it should.

now looking into hiring the studio for a private shoot

I came to Andrew for a 1.2.1 tuition on how to use a studio for the first time.

I was greeted with a very warm welcome and a nice cup of coffee! We spoke for a few minutes prior to starting the training to get an understanding of my current level and the ideas I had to shoot. He was a fantastic trainer and patiently showed me around his studio, and showed me some great set ups which got the results I was looking for!

As a result I got some great shots and a lot of information to take away ready to plan my next shoot!

Thank you Andrew for a great session, you showed me studios aren't scary after all! I will be back!

Highly recommend this studio and all services it provides!

This was my second time meeting Andrew at Saracen House, this time as a "guinea pig" for a lighting tutorial, now in a new location. Andrew is so friendly, fun to chat to and helpful. The studio is just as comfortable and well equipped as I remembered. I would definitely recommend anyone considering booking a studio looks into working at Saracen House, and hope to get the opportunity to be back there soon!

I held my first Studio Day of 2018 at the new Saracen House Studio today.

As always there was a warm welcome from Andrew. A great cuppa and a fantastic new studio.

Absolutely stunning, spacious, clean, tidy and so many sets to work from.

I will definitely be recommending and using the studio often.

Can't wait to return.

Thanks

I shot at Saracen House Studio today for the first time and it is simply a perfect studio! Spacious, clean and warm, with a nice dressing room and facilities. The owner Andrew is also very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!
