I had my first studio day at Cottage Studio and what a fantastic experience! Not only did Brian work hard to fill the slots (even with a last min change), but he accommodated both myself and every photographer to the highest of standard. The place is filled with props, costumes, wigs and clothing garments-I can not get enough! Not only did I have the opportunity to shoot indoors, but I was able to venture to the bluebells-which Brian located for us knowingly and gave advice of which area to head to as well as holding a reflector throughout. I am very excited about visiting again,

Thank you,

I can only repeat what other people have said about this studio. Its an Aladdins cave of lights, clothing and props. Brian is incredibly hospitable, providing refreshments, advice and helping out with the setting up of some of the more interesting bits of equipment in the studio.

Hope to visit again soon. highly recommended!

My fifth visit to this great studio. The studio itself is roomy with loads of props, rigging for hoops & silks, excellent lighting all cared for by the owner Brian who will set up good lighting options for you. In addition there is an excellent opportunity to shoot out on location, woods, fields and pond. Highly recommended, on here as Photo 39 and on the web as The Cottage Studio.

Ive just had the most amazing 4 DAYS at The Cottage Studio! Poor Brian!! ;)

We managed to book all the days up, no problems, I was so chuffed! Brian is fab, one of the nicest studio owners I know. Hes always on hand, doesnt mind helping with ideas, lighting, teas anything, hes your man!

This is my 3rd visit to the studio, never been able to shoot outside due to it being winter whenever i come, so this time finally got to shoot a bit outdoors, its a really cool lake on the farm with some funky shaped trees in the forest behind. Makes an ideal shooting place really.. In the 4 days, I think I had a go on most things actually, got to try the hoop and silks too! (yayy!)

Its just a great place, loads of space, friendly, clean, warm, kit kats available I just dont know what more a girl could want?

I cant wait to come back! Im looking at my diary now for dates already!

Thanks so much Brian for being so lovely and putting up with me running round your studio like a crazy woman for so many hours, I really enjoyed myself as always!

Cant wait for next time!

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Brian while shooting with Kevin ( kbimaging ) Brian has a Aladdin's cave of clothing and prop's. Nothing was to much effort for Brian, his hospitality is great always checking if I wanted a drink was If I was to hot or cold. The studio is spacious clean and warm, ideal for everything from the everyday style of modeling to using amazing prop's like lengths of cloth and rope.

It was a fun afternoon I highly recommend Brian's studio to both models and photographers.

Thanks again I will hopefully set up a studio day with you soon..

Had a 4 hour shoot at Brian's fabulous studio today. Excellently equipped with both lighting and wardrobe. Numerous posing options and choice of backgrounds. Brian remains in the background but is always on hand to offer help and advice and nothing is too much trouble. Will most definitely be using the studio again if Brian will have me.

I had a lovely morning shooting with Brian at his studio. This is the second time I have worked with him and as before he was as lovely as ever. He has an amazing space, I refer to it as Mary Poppins handbag or Aladdin's Cave, just full of wonderful props including aerial hoops, silks and a huge wardrobe! The studio is warm and spacious and one of my very favourites!

I will definitely be returning as Brian has kindly set me up on his register and I look forward to catching up with him again soon.

Here with Arielle Fox last week. Great studio, lots of lighting, accessories and props with various backgrounds too. Also gallery area with natural light. Brian, the proprietor, was on hand when needed for lighting advice and setting up which was extremely helpful. Not the easiest place to find as the site is quite large so best to call on arrival. Will be back.

I spent almost three days working at Brian's studio last week/ this weekend. I don't think I traumatized him too much... ;)

Brian spent the entire time running about helping all the photographers, making sure I was warm/ hydrated and tirelessly put the props up/ down and away without complaint. He set up the lights when needed and even put up with/ laughed at my terrible jokes :D

Brian is a really nice and down to earth guy- we had time to catch up (as it was 2012 when we last met) and chat between slots and I felt warm, welcome and looked after throughout my stay!

The separate changing room is great and the amount of props there are to play with is also great- the height of the ceiling is such a bonus!

I loved working there and by the sounds of it/ the amount of happy customers... I will be back in no time! Thanks, Brian :)

Thanks Brian!

Hope to work with you again soon!

I've had two shoots at Brian's studio now.

Brian's a lovely friendly welcoming guy, I love the studio it's got everything you could ever need. Plenty of clothing, shoes, wigs, props, backdrops ect.... Even a shower in the corner.

Loads of places too shoot around the studio too.

Even got a nice changing room with mirrors and all the stuff you need to get ready for your shoot.

I would recommend this studio to any model or photographer.

Thanks Brian

Last Saturday I had a shoot booked with Rebecca Tun. On the way to the Cottage Studio I had a freak accident which meant that my car needed to be repaired before I could drive home. Brian took control and managed the repair so that I was able to work with Rebecca.

Lighting advice and set ups were provided, posing suggestions offered and tea provided.... and my car was ready to drive when I left! Brian was a complete star! :) Thank you.

The studio was warm and the shoot very rewarding. While this was only my second visit it is a place I enjoy very much and I hope to be able to return again soon.

Very highly recommended! :)

Ayla

Ive worked at Brians studio many times and I absolutely love it. He is one of the best studio owners I know and is always organised, professional, reliable and also an absolute gentleman. He is always on hand to make sure everybody has a cup of tea or coffee in their hands and the studio is always warm which makes such a difference! On my recent trip to the studio I worked with AnnaRose over two days there and as before he was so helpful, driving us to the shop on breaks to get some food.

He comes highly recommended and I will definitely be back!

Thanks so much Brian :)

AnnaRose

I have lost count at the amount of times I have worked at the Cottage Studio. This time, Brian held a two day studio day for me and Ayla as a duo. Both days went brilliantly and the studio is just perfect for doing athletic/acrobatic work.

Throughout the entire event, Brian was extremely helpful, set up lights if needed and made sure we was comfortable at all times by providing refreshments and copious amounts of tea/coffee.

I think I have known Brian and the studio for 5 years and every time I am there, I have a wonderful experience and not to mention Brian is one of the kindest Studio owners I have met.

Thank you once again and I will be back soon.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Brian for the first time last week when I went there to do a shoot with Anna Rose and Ayla. The studio is superb with lots of great lighting and props and Brian is a great host always happy to help setting up the Lighting and give advise. I certainly hope to use his studio again very soon

Wow... what a fabulous facility Brian runs at the Cottage Studio. From its high ceiling, to huge range of lights, modifiers, apparatus and props this is a top-notch studio.

Not only that, but Brian is so very helpful. It made my half day working their race by all too fast. It's kind of hard to think of anything the studio doesn't have, Very highly recommended . I will be back very soon. Many thanks Brian.
