“Spend Atrocious Amounts”

written by Maddison2000 on 30/12/2016

My daughter and I arrived a little early but we were spoken to straight away and a drink offered.
We were given a form each to complete although I'm not sure why as the beautician didn't look at it and asked me the questions again - not sure if this was a time filling exercise. The girl who applied my make up was good but stunk of smoke, not very pleasant when she is working in my personal space. My daughters didn't try to make conversation with her and my girl was chatting and getting 1 word answers back.
Hair and make up done we were taken upstairs and the process was explained to us. The photographers were nice girls but everything was very rushed. We were not asked what photos we would like to have taken and some of the poses were very staged and therefore very awkward.
Fast forward and we're back downstairs, we were told it would be appropriately 20 minutes and we could see our photos - this turned into over 50 minutes. We were taken into a room and our photos were shown to us on a tv with music blaring. As we were looking through them the girl was asking if we wanted to keep or delete and the decision needed to be made there and then - I felt very rushed and pressured. She was then giving us package prices and advising of deposit amount and monthly interest free payments .. these changed literally by the minute. She then printed off the free photo that was part of the package however we were made to take 2 of the same photo (my daughter is 14 and living at home so 2 of the same photo was unnecessary). I asked if we could have 2 different Photos and was told yes but only if we bought a package!! However I think this changes depending on which photo you like as numerous previous reviews state they wanted a picture of them together but were told they had to have individual (another way to pressure you to buy more).
I was told the price of 2 7x5 pictures were £138.00 and you couldn't get these prints on a USB or CD. Crazy amounts of money for 2 small pictures. The packages went upto £2000. I said I would think about it and was told as soon as we left the studio the images were deleated, needless to say I walked away with nothing as I will not be pressured into buying at especially the prices they are charging.
