So great to be back here for another photographic group evening, great group of people some of which I had seen before and others I hadn't but all very friendly and we all had a good laugh. Love this studio, always very welcoming and offering of cups of tea/coffee which although I don't really drink them is always very much appreciated!

A fab studio, very well organised and run and would highly recommend. Would love to be back again sometime soon, thanks again! :D

Return to Coach House for first time since covid and well worth it.

Paul was on hand to provide excellent assistance re lights and we had a very productive couple hours over various setups.

Definite recommendation from me and hope to be back soon.

My first time at the coach house yesterday, certainly won’t be my last.

I responded to an advertised studio day with infinity Valerie, so pleased I did !

On arrival I was greeted with a warm welcome, shown around and introduced to Valerie by Co manager Paul Hambleton.

The studio is very well equipped, lights, modifiers, sets, props etc with the added bonus of a fantastic infinity curve.

The 4 hour slot flew by, and managed to come away with a camera full of keeper's.

A big thanks to Paul for getting stuck in, moving props lights etc

Paul is a genuine nice guy, with an awesome taste in music,(our era).

I’m already looking forward to my next visit to the studio.

Even if your not local, travel to this studio, you won’t regret it!!

100% recommend

I was lucky enough to hold a model day at the Coachhouse Studio, and I can honestly say it was my favourite model day so far! Paul was on hand to make me feel welcome, well looked after and with plenty of drinks,food and banter to keep me going throughout the long day. The day actually flew by in the end thank you to Paul and the wonderful photographers I shot with, I was left wishing I had a second day booked!

The studio itself is well equipped,with a dedicated model changing room, plenty of backdrops/lights, not to mention a large infinity wall which is always a great benefit!

Overall it was a fantastic day and I will certainly be coming back for another model day or 2!

Greatly recommended to all models and photographers, thank you very much!

Only my 2nd time of shooting here and around 5 or 6 years since my first shoot.

It's a perfect setup, with tons of equipment and props, a fab infinity curve, separate model changing room, lounge and kitchen area - PLUS, you are next door to a pub!

Paul H was around, as I was shooting InfinityValerie on her studio day. Unobtrusive, but always available to offer advice and tips/hints if needed.

Definitely will be back and hopefully in the not to distant future...

100% recommended by me.

Another excellent group shoot at the this well equipped studio, having Peter on hand making sure lighting setups /props /kitchen are ready for use.

The ask's from photographers being no problem - in all going excellent captures with model Isabella Bliss! being very happy with the changing room !

For me in organising shoots, our 4th one this year 2022 - with 2 more dates booked - I can feel assured, that all photographers will be rewarded with excellent results.

So yes fully recommend 📸👌🤗

My second shoot in recent weeks here, and as the last time, it was a great experience, great studio ,someone around to make teas and help with any movement of lighting or props should you need to do this. The studio is comfortable for models with a lovely dressing room. I would recommend this to models wanting to do a studio day and photographers who wish to shoot a model at the studio, will happily return. Recommended

I thoroughly enjoyed my most recent visit to this wonderful studio when I was invited to model for the photographic group last Wednesday evening. As soon as I arrived I felt very welcome and comfortable with a warm changing room, cup of tea and cosy dressing gown. All of the members were very friendly, polite, professional and respectful. We managed to fit in a few different looks/sets in the 3 hours and the photos I have seen from the photographers so far are amazing! I particularly loved posing against the red backdrop with the white and black flooring! Highly recommended by me!

Had a great shoot at this studio, shoot communication was excellent.Studio open and awaiting our arrival, very friendly and helpful. The studio was ready to go, and help was on hand should it be required but never intrusive. The shoot flowed brilliantly and would recommend this studio without hesitation should you be looking for a studio or wanting to do a studio day, thank you

I took part in a group shoot a few days ago and was fortunate enough to work with MK Photography and Isabella Bliss as Marilyn Monroe. The studio is easy to find and crucially has plenty of parking available. Inside it is very well equipped and the support provided to our group shoot was excellent.

It is cold there in the winter, however, but they have a large space heater which quickly resolved that. It's worth arriving a little earlier if you're shooting in the winter, to get the place warmed before shooting commences.

Overall a positive experience however and I would be happy to revisit

I / We photographers completed our 3rd studio shoot, with Model & all worked out - with all the captures we wanted to carry out / capture, to excellent a standard, with the help of Peter. The Kitchen & dressing room worked so well

Already booked to other shoot dates

This was my third photoshoot at The Coach House Studio, as part of a workshop with the awesome Ellie Fox. It's always a great place to shoot - nice location, well-organised, welcoming and a good range of kit. Plus there's the added bonus of being attached to The Pied Bull pub, with all its facilities. I'm always delighted with the photos I bring away from my shoots here. Highly recommended.

This was our 2nd visit to the studio on this group shoot I organised.

The model brought a good selection of clothing. but 'the warm changing room with an excellent collection of dresses for use" & props in the studio, just added to this successful shoot.

Have booked our 3rd shoot, already

The Coach House Studio is a fantastic place to shoot and when Paul arranged a studio day with Ell Mae I couldn't resist booking a couple of hours.

Paul creates excellent lighting and we got some fantastic shots.

Will be back soon.

Ell Mae

Had a model day at this brilliant studio, ran amazingly by the studio manager Paul. Such a great day. Thank you for having me, always love to shoot here when I'm in the area!

Definitely recommended.

I had a recent group shoot here at the lovely coach house!

Paul was so lovely and made every effort to make sure I was warm and had everything I needed. They even had a lovely dressing gown in the changing room plus hairspray, it was great too see a fully kitted out dressing room.

The white cove was brilliant to use and the many colour backdrops. There was also a fireplace and lots of different props .

Thank you so much for having me and being such a great host

Look forward to coming back again soon

MK Photography

This was my 1st time in booking this studio, for group shoots I organise & I / we will certainly be back for more shoots. Pre-coms being just what a photographers wants !

On the day a prob arose with model canceling (covid) but the adaption Paul gave us all was so good, pushing this 4hr morning shoot into the afternoon.

The facilities - extensive studio flash- understanding of the lighting effects / varied sets / white curve backdrop & others / heating on to stay warm!

So recommended all the way !!

I recently attended a group shoot organised by MK Photography at The Coach House. It has been my first visit to the studio in about three years and it was really great to be back. Paul was the host for the day and was really helpful organising things for the group. The studio, as ever, was very well equipped and an excellent venue to shoot in. We only used a small portion of what the studio has to offer, we simply ran out of time!! I very much plan on returning in the near future and thanks Paul for all you assistance....highly recommended...

Was my first time at the Coach House at a shoot organised by MK Photography.

Paul was our host for the day and was very welcoming and friendly. Paul helped out and setup up the lighting even when we kept changing the lighting he was on hand to experiment where needed. The Coach House is spacious with multiple shooting locations, I counted 4 within the studio.

A pleasure meeting Paul and such a cool location. Would certainly shoot there again as the ideas were flowing.

Thank you

Pure chance I was booked to model for their camera club evening and it was one of the best nights I've had on a shoot.

Venue was warm, welcoming, safe and spotless.

No sooner had I walked through the door and given my dressing room for the session, I had a cuppa in hand and was quickly made to feel at home.

Beautiful, versatile studio with some amazing original decor from its previous use as a Ye Olde Coach house which was full of history. Cove wall, kitchen, backdrops and lighting galore. More than enough to keep all Togs happy from beginner/dabbler to the absolute pro.

Welcoming, inclusive and knowledgeable owners. Absolutely recommend and I could happily call it home. Thankyou for a great evening.
