"Thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had whilst at your studio....The photography shoot was so much fun and my two kids aged 11 and 4, we had a ball, Andrew made us feel comfortable and relaxed and the photographs were out of this world! Thanks again and I would recommend your studio to anyone."

Kirsty Jones - April 2011

"I would take this opportunity to say that It was an amazing Photo Shoot with ample time and we really loved it. The studio's atmosphere was really friendly. The results are out standing and the way Photo Editor was used its really impressive. We would really love to have another one soon to keep it as a rare family possession. Thank you very much again for your services."

"I have been using Andrew's studio for a number of years now and have always been extremely satisfied with the results. Plenty of room to get the required shots, and excellent facilities and equipment. I would not hesitate to recommend this studio."

"I recently used Andrew's studio for the first time, and even as a student photographer I was really pleased with the results. I had one to one training with Andrew before hiring the studio, which is offered at a small cost for the training you get. I have already booked the studio again and will be hiring it on a regular basis in the future. Well recommended!"

Elle McAtmney - March 2011

"I have been using Andrew's studio since June 2010 and I go back at least once or twice month to use the studio. Andrew and his staff are very friendly and always on hand to offer advice should you need some assistance. The studio is equipped with everything you need, and as well as being able to use your own props, Andrew also has a variety of props for children and adults that are also included in the studio fee which I have found to be very useful. I travel 21 miles each way to use Andrew's studio because studios in my area do not produce the same quality print given that the lit backdrop produces a "venture type" bright white backdrop which produces professional results which clients love!"

Gail Corrigan - March 2011

"To Nicola and colleagues at Andrew Wood Photography, We are so sorry it has taken us so long to write this but we really want to say a huge thank you for the wonderfull photos of us all. They are so special and will always remind us all and X's adoption and of becoming a family. They were all so good that as you know we went for the disc option. Absolutely the right decision and we have used a number of the photos in different ways but still watch the show! The extra disc was very much appreciated thank you. We all enjoyed our contact with you. Everyone was relaxed and made us feel at ease. We will certainly recommend you to others"

Phil Platt, Phil Platt Photography - July 2010

"I used Andrew's studio for the first time last week and was very pleased with the equipment and facilities. I booked a 1-1 training session beforehand to be comfortable with the equipment and it was a small training fee well spent. Andrew is very friendly and gives great advice on how to use the equipment. The models felt comfortable and at ease in the studio too. Highly recommended!"

Jean Salmacis, JM Salmacis Photography - June 2010

"Right from the start Andrew wood photography has always made us feel welcomed. The photographs created were beautiful and all the family had tears in their eyes whilst watching the DVD we purchased. Throughout the session all the family were happy and didnt feel silly whilst having a laugh in front of the camera, he is brilliant with children as my twin brothers were upset at first as they are only 2 and didnt know what was going on, but Andrew knew exactly how to cheer them up. Thank you very much Andrew and all at Andew Wood photography."

Natalie Aston - June 2010

"For studio hire I would highly recommend this well equipped place in Chorlton, Manchester. The huge screen and viewing area are priceless! It's friendly, knowledgeable owner gives great advice on the use of the equipment and photography techniques."

James Broome, James Broome Photography - May 2010

"We had a great time at Andrew's studio, taking along two small children I was dreading them not looking at the camera at all. Andrew just took this in his stride and was very professional in the end both children wwere loving it and the picture is amazing, thanks to all at Andrew Wood Photography"

Michelle Barnes - April 2010

"Our photo session was the most fun we have had as a family in some time. With three boys heading into their teenage years, a toddler and a new baby life is pretty hectic, but an hour all together having pictures taken was just what we all needed. We has such a good time that we went out for a meal together afterwards and the older boys actually got on the whole time which is nothing short of a miracle! To top it off we now have the most amazing group of photographs that I can look at and remember that amongst all the chaos and noise we have a fabulous, happy, loving family. Thank you so much Andrew No virus found in this incoming message."

Mandy Sissons - March 2010

"From the very first phone call to receiving the fabulous photographs, Andrew Wood Photography could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Going to have your photograph taken for most people is quite unnerving and can take you right out of your comfort zone, especially with two children! But Andrew and his assistant made us all feel relaxed and not at all silly - apart from when it comes to the children - who had a whale of a time being told to mess about in front of the camera! The results of which are now on our walls at home and we even managed to get a decent one of the whole family!"

Bridget Battye-Smith - February 2010

Tim Hensel, Tim Hensel Photography - January 2010

"With two very small children I was a little anxious as to how the session would go and whether we would get any decent pictures out of it given their usual refusal to sit still for any length of time. I shouldn't have worried as you immediately put them at their ease and had them giggling away and we all really enjoyed the session. The pictures themselves are something we will always treasure and I am only sorry we couldn't buy them all."

Caroline Pickens - July 2009

"What a really superb experience. We wanted to go to someone who could cope with a 1 year old baby and who would be able to interact and make her feel part of the process rather than just being dumped in front of a camera. You can tell Andrew has his own children as he managed to get her smiling and moving around and playing with toys rather than with previous photographers where they had to try and get a good photo inbetween the tears! . . . and best of all he didn't mind at all when we had to change a rather smelly nappy on his studio floor! A truly heartfelt thank you."

Caroline Kinglake - July 2009

"When I approached Andrew about having some photographs taken I had never visited a professional photographer before and was quite nervous about the whole thing. However the whole experience was a delight. Andrew took endless time and trouble, even though I was not spending a great deal of money, and my 7 year old daughter loved every minute of it and had lots of fun. As Andrew has children of his own he is very good with them. The photographs genuinely exceeded my expectations, they are absolutely beautiful and fun, and I will always treasure them."

Isolde Brown - June 2009

"Hi Andrew, Just wanted to say a huge thanks to you for our canvasses. They are beautiful and very well made. It was such a pleasure to meet you and we were very surprised with what we got as our daughters were not the usual little angels on the day of the shoot! They take pride of place in our living room and will treasure them for a lifetime."

Lisa Miller - June 2009

"I was amazed with the results considering you had such a difficult model to work with! I am really happy with the prints. Thank you for your patience with such a pesky one!"

Amber Dean - May 2009

"With two teenagers in tow we didn't know how Andrew Wood would be able to get a good photo of us at all. In fact he made it feel easy and by the end our 16 year old son was really getting into it! We relaxed and laughed and Andrew captured us at our best. The photos are on the hall wall now and I find myself stopping to enjoy them every day. They show the relationships that matter most to me in all world."

Jane Graystone - May 2009

"Dear Andrew, Thank you so much for the lovely photo you've made me for my website. It captures just the mood I was after, and yet I didn't know quite what I wanted when I arrived! You seemed to know just what was needed. I felt that you were attending to my needs 100%, and yet you were so friendly and relaxed, that having my photo taken seemed easy and even fun.

When it came to selecting a picture you helped to make the choosing straight-forward. You showed me different options, and explained what you were doing along the way. I was very grateful that you understood the technical requirements of a website photo.

It was also fun to see how you played with the image, blurring the background a little, and making my wrinkles a bit more blurry too! You clearly know exactly what you're doing. Getting my photo within hours of my appointment was an unexpected bonus. I wasn't looking forward to having my picture taken, I was worried that I'd look awful, but I felt very much at ease with you, and actually enjoyed the process. Even more importantly, the photograph is one I can be proud of. Thanks again,"

Helen Smith - July 2008
