I have shot at the wonderful Wolfe Cottage quite a few times now, most recently on Amber Rickard's studio and a couple of weeks before that, doing a family shoot.

Every time I go there it's just like visiting good friends for a humour-loaded chat. Caroline and Andrew are great hosts, knowledgeable in what they do and everso helpful but respectful of your ideas.

Whether it is Caroline's make up skills being used, her great artistic set ideas and designs, or Andrews lighting mastery and shooting tips, they make every visit a joy, not just for the photogs but for the models too by the looks of it.

Oh ands the coffee is lush! ( no I don't mean the smelly candle and bath bomb variety of Lush).

Cheers you two little diamonds.

I have been to Wolfe Cottage Studio a few times now and I know I'm always going to have a great time when I'm there.

Andrew and Caroline are so welcoming and amazing hosts. Plus I love having cuddles with their doggies.

The studio is clean, warm and well equipped. Caroline did my make up again aswell as body painting. We have such a giggle in the make up room while getting ready.

Andrew keeps you amused during your time there and is so helpful, running around with fire to help get an awesome shot.

I turn up with a smile and leave with a bigger one. Fantastic studio and hosts :) highly recommended.

Wolfe Cottage Studios is absolutely incredible. The same can be said about the lovely Andrew and Caroline, who made me feel right at home.

Caroline is a fantastic makeup artist, pulled together this amazing 'fire demon from hell' look, which was a lot of fun to create. The studio is fantastically equipped with everything you could possibly hope for.

Andrew was on fire duty and is such a laugh, both Caroline and Andrew have a cracking sense of humour which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

Already planning my next visit, and I can't wait. If you get the chance to work at this fantastic studio, I promise you won't regret it. Andrew, Caroline, their darling wolfies and the studio get my highest recommendation. I had the best fun I've had on a shoot in a long time. Thanks so much guys! Can't wait to see you all again :)

I was lucky enough to have my first shoot with Andrew at Wolfe Cottage Studio the other day.

I can not reccomend Wolfe Cottage Studio enough.

From the moment i met Andrew and Caroline they were welcoming and made me feel so relaxed.

The studio is wonderful. It is beautifully set up. The props are wonderful. Caroline did a beautiful job of my make up for the shoot.

Andrew produced some lovely photos from our shoot.

I can not wait to work with him again. The time flew by when i was there. I had a blast at this studio.

Thank you so much for the great shoot. 😊

I had the pleasure of shooting at Wolfe cottage for the first time recently!

It was fabulous !

The studio itself is great! Very spacious! It is split in two - a black side and a white - which is very clever! It makes it so easy to switch from high to low key! There is also a selection of colourful backgrounds which are easily accessible! Best of all The studio is tidy ! Everything has its own place which makes shooting so much easier! Lighting equipment is fab and Andrew is always there to provide assistance if necessary!

There is also a huge room of props as well as a great separate space for models! There is also a lovely waiting area/chatting room for before and after shoots - to sit and have a cuppa and a chinwag !

There are also some outdoor shooting options! A really clever beach set as well as the garden which is a really great option!

The studio was very warm and comfortable too!

The owners, Andrew and Caroline were also lovely!

Andrew is my favourite!

Hahah! Joke!! Of course Caroline is my favourite ;) but Andrew is great too!!

I stated the night and was well looked after. Caroline picked me up from the station! She cooked me a lovely dinner and a lovely breakfast! Their home really is beautiful and clean and comfortable and I was made to feel really welcome and at home there! My room was so lovely and I slept great! Their dogs are definitely the best part though!

They both took me back to the station and sent me away with some goodies which was lovely! I had a rip in my trousers and Caroline even made me a travel sewing kit to take away with me which was so lovely! I will carry that in my bag now and alway be reminded of my stay at Wolfe cottage!

Andrew is brilliant too - he was always there whilst I was shooting to make sure I was happy and safe! He was very helpful to photographers if they needed help and he was a great laugh to be around!

Thank you Wolfe cottage for such a great time! I look forward to the next time!

Highly recommended by me.

Got to be one of the models for Wolfe Cottage's Camera Club Night in Feb - theme UV! It was amazing! Andrew was great at blacklight/UV lighting - tricky tricky! He even strung a rope up to the ceiling, covered in UV string, so I could do aerial poses on the rope while painted.

Very versatile studio. Andrew & Caroline put a lot of time & effort into making their club nights extra special! Definitely book in one of their club nights & you won't be disappointed! This one was the best & ended with lots of UV paint powder on the other model and me! Crazy fun & am already loving the images. Definitely recommend Andrew & Caroline's studio! Hope to shoot again there soon!

Had the BEST shoot yet at this studio on Thursday.

I'm always made to feel so welcome and at home they really do have such a great vibe.

We created some really fun looks where bear did make up and some props which looked fantastic.

Andrew is really great to work with and has great ideas. We pushed the boundaries a little and I was made to feel comfortable at all times !

Completely reccomend. Can not wait to see the rest of the images :D

Thanks again !

Was booked at Wolfe Cottage Studio for an avant garde fashion shoot, and the studio was brilliant! Andrew & Caroline stepped in and saved the day when the MUA fell out the morning of! Caroline worked on makeup for 6 hours with three models (one male!). We got through a number of successful sets, and Andrew was always on hand to sort any issues. I highly recommend booking at the Studio and you will receive top rate professional service from Andrew & Caroline! Highest recommendations and my next shoot there is already on the books!

Shot all day with Andrew at Wolfe Cottage Studio! What a fabulous day it was! We had great pre-shoot comms, and I knew exactly the types of looks we both hoped to accomplish. He was very laid back, yet professional on set all day! His wife Caroline & studio co-owner did my makeup all day - it was truly a creative team effort! We captured some stellar looks and had a blast all day long! If you haven't shot here or hired the studio - I highly recommend it! We started with portrait shots with different looks/lights. Next we moved onto fashion, all the while Andrew was changing the backdrop colors and furniture to create new looks. We closed the day with aerial hoop & avant garde fashion! Whirlwind day of looks, but Andrew & Caroline are such a joy to work with! Highly recommend the studio & Andrew as a photographer! Already have future shoots booked! Highest recommendations!

Recently shot with Mischkah at this very good studio. On arrival, Andrew greeted me and had a quick chat about what's available there etc, and offered me a drink (which was continuously offered throughout). Andrew is a great host, and can't do enough for you to help out. Thanks Andrew and Caroline, I will be back in the summer to see what's outside. Book this studio

I recently did five days at Wolfe Cottage Studio! It was brilliant, Andrew helped to get bookings from his regular studio users which was great. I also modelled for their studio club night while I was there and the ten photographers who came were all really nice people who I was pleased to get the opportunity of meeting. Since my last visit they have introduced more set-ups like colored paper rolls and a really cool snow machine! :D We had a fab time creating different sets and Caroline is very enthusiastic and skilled when it comes to make up and styling. They were both a great help and I enjoyed my stay. Recommended.

What a warm welcome I received at Wolfe Cottage Studio. This was my first solo shoot and it had to be Wolfe Cottage. I love the location, layout and facilities. Nothing is too much. The pre shoot communications were excellent with all my many questions answered.

Andrew and Caroline are a fantastic couple who go the extra mile for you. Andrew assisted and advised on the lighting setups which I found so helpful. There are a great selection of props and backdrops to used.

Such a great studio that I will certainly be going back to.

I have left separate references for Caroline and Andrew, but simply had to leave a reference for this marvellous studio as well.

For a photographer, the studio itself is absolutely huge, set up with backdrops, contrasting ends for different styles and loads more equipment that I couldn't possibly name! For a model the studio is warm, comfortable, inviting and private along with a private MUA area (a-mazing!) and a huge variety of props and wardrobe.

Although we didn't shoot there this time around there is also a huge backgarden with a beautiful view of nothing (ie gorgeous bean field and skies for miles), a tiki hut area, a gazebo area, and much more I'm sure.

I can't recommend this studio enough!

Red,

First shoot (of many to come!) at Wolfe Cottage last night for their camera club! I had such a fab time. I filled in a last minute casting, & I am so thrilled I did! Andy is a genius with the lights & photography. Caroline is a very talented designer & MUA. I am sure the club captured some fab images! I highly recommend worthing with them & booking their studio! Hope to shoot there again soon!

I worked at the stunning Wolfe Cottage again on a recent tour to the area and had such a great day!! I had been very ill leading upto the studio day and Andrew and Caroline very kindly sold out the full day for me- which was so kind. The studio day was very well organised- very comfortable and I was very well looked after. The photographers on the day were very respectful and the day absolutely flew by! we achieved so many beautiful shots.

The studio is a lovely size with lots of photography potential, a gorgeous makeup room and very comfortable facilities. It is attached to Andrew and Carolines home, so it is also the perfect place to stay. Andrew and Caroline have a stunning home and are fantastic hosts, I always love stayed with them, its like staying with family, nothing is too much trouble. Thanks so much and I really hope to work with you both again soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

I attended my first club night at Wolfe Cottage on the 17th November. What a great evening! Very well organised, with 2 beautiful models - Alexa and Jess. There had been a lot of work put into the sets too. Thank you, Andrew and Caroline.

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting the owners Caroline and Andrew earlier this week.

They are extremely friendly people and take very good care of you - you feel right at home straight away.

Their set up is fantastic. A spacious studio and many props. They were always on hand to help and could see they really wanted us to get the best shoot out of our day and helped with certain lighting e.t.c.

Andrew is a lovely talkative person and gave some great feedback and tips, put on some music too which as a model is great as always sets you in a lively mood making the shoot more fun which comes through in the images.

Caroline the 'mumma bear' and make up artist is a lovely woman again making you feel comfortable and getting the best look for you for that certain style shoot.

Their set up is again amazing and having Caroline as the make up artist on hand is extremely useful you have everything you need here. I look forward to working with them again and I highly recommend.

Thanks Again

I booked Wolfe Cottage Studios for the first time earlier this week and had the pleasure of meeting the owners, Bear and Andrew.

The studio is spacious, well appointed and very well equipped with state of the art (Elimchrom) flashheads. The owners have an Aladin's Cave of props, should you require.

Andrew is an experienced studio photographer and is always on hand to give advice if it is sought, but never intrudes if it is not. Bear is artistic, very creative, and a first class makeup artist. Not only did she create two different makeup styles for different elements of the shoot, but came up with some really helpful, subtle styling ideas.

It was a real pleasure to spend time with two such personable and engaging people.

I recommend them and their studio without hesitation.

I was lucky enough to shoot at Wolfe Cottage Studio last night with Paul.

Caroline and Andrew are absolutely lovely people who couldn't do enough for us.The tea,coffee and conversation was flowing all night along with some gorgeous looking carrot cake(sorry I didn't get around to having a piece!)

If anyone has the chance to work at the studio,definetly say 'Yes' as it is one of the best,if not THE best studio I have worked in.

Hopefully I'll see you again soon
