Having had the Photo Lounge do our wedding album was the best choice made,each photograph captured every moment of our special day. And with every photo the memories are relived. The colours and lighting are fantastic as are the poses and natural shots captured, a fantastic way of bring traditional and modern together. The photographers are very friendly and make you feel extremely relaxed and at ease. We now have a beautiful wedding album capturing so many memories that are relived all... (read more)

“Pleasant experiece”

Written on: 19/04/2012 by TiaXyna

I bought my voucher from trafford centre, i must admit if it was'nt for my daughter i would have never got drawn into it. It wasnt easy to get hold of anybody on the local number provided on the voucher, but contact us form on their website was very useful and i had a prompt response. We were looked after from the time we arrived to the time we left. Very friendly, courteous staff, complimentary drinks and wonderful photographer. Makeover was good, the only problem was it was far too heavy... (read more)

Me and my friend booked this through the groupon deal at £15 for manicure, make up, photo shoot and free 6x4" print at the photo lounge and we were pleasantly surprised when we found out we got out hair done as well. When we arrived we were greeted by a friendly gentleman who offered us tea or coffee and we were asked to complete forms re preferences etc, my friend was taken for her make up as she had acrylic nails and i was taken for the manicure although this was just a nail polish but...

I thought I would treat my daughter and myself to a bit of pampering so when I saw the groupon offer for £15 I booked the 28th January. Whenwe arrived we were taken for a manicure. This consisted a bit of hand cream, a quick file and polish. Next we were taken to make-up. I asked for something suitabe for my age ( 59)with a bit of glamour, all I got is less then I would have done myself. I must admit my daughter looked very gorgeous. Then came the hair. I have natural curly hair and like... (read more)

The photographer appointed, put me at ease and helped me to establish the poses she wanted for each shot. I was given the choice of what... (read more)

Written on: 16/09/2011

We had an amazingly most memorable day. The photographer (Nick) was so professional and the shots were second to none. Most definately a day to remember. The cost of the photos were expensive but if compared to say the cost of a Wedding photographer the cost is realistic. Have tried other photo shoot lounges but this one is by far the best I've experienced. Make up was tasteful, staff friendly. The choice of soft drinks was the only let down but didn't cause a problem as we had taken... (read more)

Worst experience ever, really got under my skin and still so angry about way I was treated.

Stupidly brought one of those vouchers, handed money over on the street.

They mucked me around, messed up my appointments, blamed me and shouted at me! Then asked for refund and told I could not have one! No cooling off period at all and told non refundable. So dubious!

Staff were so rude and aggressive towards me, called me a liar, actually shouting at me. In the end gave in because they... (read more)

After spending a tenner on the voucher I kind of worried there might be hidden costs, and you do hear about these things being scams all the time so I was a little worried but pleasantly surprised when I got into the studio!

The studio is absolutely stunning! As soon as we walked through the door, we were offered wine - and really didn't have time to finish a glass before they asked if we wanted a top up! After filling in a couple of forms our makeup girl took us through for a chat about... (read more)
