I was booked to shoot at Saracen last weekend, my first visit to the new studio (a bit behind the times there!). As my shoots at the previous location, Saracen is a lovely place to work. Andrew is an amazing host, really helpful with lighting set ups and suggestions - and makes a 5* coffee! The studio is spotless and warm - definitely a recommendation from me :) Thanks Andrew!

I had the pleasure of modelling at the superb Saracen House Studio yesterday in Milton Keynes! & What a treat it was as always! Andrew the studio owner is so welcoming, helpful and nothing is ever a problem.

Saracen is a great studio, shooting there is an absolute breeze, so to spend a whole day there creating art with different photographers is certainly like a dream come true!

On the day, Andrew greeted me immediately along with helping me carry my bags to my designated changing room.

The day went incredibly smoothly with regards to all the shoots, and Andrew was available in the studio if we needed anything at all. Plus, Andrew makes a pretty amazing cup of tea!

I can't recommend this studio enough

What a fantastic place, I don’t think I’ve seen quite so much equipment available, labelled and there to use. Andrew is a top guy, super helpful and so personable.

Very much recommend the studio, and look forward to my next visit.

First time shooting at Saracen House and couldn't have felt more welcome hot drinks and support with lighting when ever I needed it.

The lighting set up and mini sets were amazing that made me feel like a child in a candy store.

Highly recommended as studio for anyone to use would definitely shoot here again if I get the chance .

Yet another successful shoot at this excellent studio (credit goes to the model SamJaz too).

I look forward to going there again next week.

At the end of today’s shoot there, the model was asking me if her next shoot could also be at Saracen House. It’s a great studio, so I had to agree with her.

Still my favourite studio!!

It had been nearly a year since my last visit, which is way too long really, it was good to finally work on another photoshoot here, working with BOou.

It was also great to get the chance to make use of the changes to the natural light room as well which have made it even better.

Andrew, as ever, was the perfect host, always on hand to help out when needed and the lighting setups Andrew put together were fantastic.....oh and coffee on tap!

It was good to catchup, I'll try not to leave it so long till my next visit!!

Why did it take me so long to discover how excellent this studio is and especially Andrew who is a great lighting guy? I shot with NataliaP there and I loved my 1st visit.

Recently I had a most wonderful shoot with amazing Photographer: Jodekphorography at Saracen House studio and it was truly a pleasant experience!

Andrew was simply brilliant throughout the whole time, perfect host, helped out with lighting setups, backdrops and was very supportive! Also he has amazing sense of humour ;) ha !

The studio is breathtaking! With so many different options and variety!

Andrew also made sure I was very comfortable and warm at all times, making sure if I want anything!

He provided me also with my favourite coffee and some snacks which was very kind and generous of him! :)

A truly wonderful experience and will definitely be back at this wonderful studio at some point hopefully with different photographers! :)

Or maybe even myself as I do some photography too ;) who knows!

Definitely highly recommend! One of the best studios I have visited so far!

Thank you Andrew once again and I wish you all the best!

I had my first shoot at Saracen House Studio on Sunday and upon arrival it was immaculate, welcoming and great quality.

I was introduced to the studio owner, Andrew, who showed me around and offered me a drink, and throughout the shoot was very helpful and present, plus- great guy!

As previously mentioned, the studio is really great quality. It’s warm, brilliant equipment, and has a range of uses and settings to choose from.

You can use natural light or opt for more of a boudoir setting within the bedroom or couch set up, or the full studio shabang.

The dressing room was also a really nice touch, with a light up mirror for makeup, a full length mirror for outfit changes and also a lockable door.

Overall my experience was really lovely here. This is a trustworthy studio in which I’m confident you’d feel safe, looked after and comfortable.

I would highly recommend.

Thanks Andrew!

I had my first studio day at Saracen House last weekend. The studio itself is very spacious with a variety of different backgrounds, props and great selection of lighting. The changing room is clean, warm and well lit - perfect for doing your make up and hair. Andrew is an amazing host, always happy to help and makes the best cuppa in Milton Keynes :) All photographers that attended the studio day were lovely to work with and we produced a variety of incredible images. All in all I had an amazing day and I hope to come back in the near future. Thank you so much Andrew!

So pleased to have had the opportunity to shoot at Saracen House; such a fab studio! I had heard lovely things and read a range of positive reviews before booking, and was not disappointed. There was plenty of space, flexible sets and a real Aladdin’s cave of kit; lots of natural light too. Andrew was welcoming and respectful of both myself and the model, and her chaperone, as well as being on hand to help out with kit and moving stuff around. We had a successful and enjoyable shoot; it was perfect for our needs but we only touched the surface of its creative offerings. I will definitely be returning in the near future and thoroughly recommend booking Saracen House.

I shot at The Saracen House on August 19th. Once again, my shoot experience was of the highest standard. Andrew's support in helping to ensure that I got the best images possible was excellent. No matter what style of image and lighting I wanted, Andrew was there to help. The Saracen House has top quality lighting and shoot sets that'd be hard to surpass. And,....and,....the biggest coffee mugs, coupled with the best coffee!! Togs and models! Get yourself along to The Saracen House!! Thanks, Andrew!

First time ever shooting at Saracen House studio - I know right, madness!!! But it goes without saying that I was met with superb venue hospitality, perfect model-friendly facilities, a well equipped space for myself and the photographer shooting me on the day to work from... Not to mention genius know-how from Andrew who runs the place for lighting assistance etc. :) A very awesome shoot experience indeed made better by the excellent service and can-do attitude here at Saracen house... Both myself and the photographer enjoyed a hugely productive shoot session and were in good hands with all aspects that do enhance the experience of a shoot when working in a studio environment.

The place is super tidy and well organised with all the essentials for both the shooting side of things (backgrounds and various lights/modifiers to hand as and when they are needed), and also the changing/styling facilities which obviously has a direct affect on the models preparations do do their job. The changing room is spacious, mirrors galore to enable maximised styling with makeup/hair and outfits, lovely and warm with seating and other essentials... The studio is also kitted out with great kitchen facilities - plus a super studio owner who is always checking up on if tea topups are needed (there’s never enough tea in the world, but Saracen house have green tea - sorted!!!) It definitely ticks all the boxes for the little (and big) things which make a model and photographers experience that bit nicer so you can crack on with the picture-making in a positive environment where there’s everything you can possibly need. :)

Andrew is a star when it comes to knowing the lighting needed and helping photographers at the studio achieve a particular look. He bears endless patience and will march back and forth from his office how ever many times is needed to help out when called, but otherwise leaves folk to do their own thing and generate a good working rapport independently. He’s got epic techical understanding for anyone who uses the studio but may need a little help with setting up or getting the effect they’re after in-camera. He’s definitely the epitome of a ideal studio owner!

Saracen House is a great studio for anyone looking for somewhere to shoot in the Milton Keynes area! And I definitely look forward to working there in the future again sometime! :D

Obviously recommend - goes without saying!

Thank you very much Andrew. :)
