Mackney Photography レビュー 

We came for a baby portrait photoshoot in May. It was such a lovely experience. All the staff we encountered were so friendly but our photographer especially. She seemed very experienced with babies and my daughter loved her moment in the spotlight! The photographs were beautiful and chosen very thoughtfully.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The shoot alone was so relaxed and my 3 month old Grandson really posed and played upto the camera. The photos that they captured of him was beyond our expectations. Truly blown away. When coming back for our viewing it was also such a lovely day and not once did my daughter feel pressured into purchasing the many beautiful images. We sat with Wendy for sometime to whittle down to have the package we could afford and we've come away very happy customers. We would definitely come back for more shoots in the future
Thank you to you all. Xx

An absolutely wonderful experience with Mackey photography. My little girl came for a vintage photo shoot. Throughout, me and my fiancé was in awe watching our little one shine in the camera light and Beth, the lady who took our pictures was so wonderful and so good with our daughter, she was very patient with her inbetween taking photos and worked her magic bringing us photos that made me crumble with emotion. I am currently expecting another baby and we will 100% be coming back to get some more precious memories. Thank you all so so much xxx

Amazing experience from start to finish.
Made to feel so welcome and relaxed before our photos was taken, provided with clothes for my lad for the vintage scene.
Photographer made my son feel at ease and worked hard to obtain the perfect scene setting with props and silly sounds to engage my son the whole time.
The viewing was a completely different experience in itself, beyond words and didn't leave a dry eye in the room - absolutely outstanding. Gave us time to discuss and work out the best package for us, and worked with us to wittle down 40+ photos into frames and prints well over our 1hour slot session but wasn't rushed or pushed out the door.
Finally obtaining the frames and images which are phenomenal, over the moon, absolutely outstanding craftsmanship and images are crisp and such high quality. To capture true expressions and happiness in the eye speaks a thousands words, and takes a true professional so hats off to the girl (I can't remember her name unfortunately) You can't stop time but you can capture true spirit and frame it for a life time, which you can never put a price on.
Thank you again to the whole team, one very happy mommy!

This is my third time at Mackney photography and have to say the reason I come back is the customer service and of course the beautiful portraits they create. I really commend Wendy and Simon for sticking with their ethos of finishing their beautiful portraits and not giving in to bullies who try and drag them down on their pricing as they honestly cannot find anything else to complain about….You get exactly what you pay for here. I first came across them as I won a photoshoot on their facebook page – I was a little sceptical at first, but I thought I’d go with it and see what it was all about. My last shoot (not with Mackney) was a complete disaster as the photos taken were not great, and though I could get all the digitals for £80 – there really wasn’t anything to pick from. So I did enter the shoot with a little trepidation – but I needn’t have worried, as I was guided every step of the way to how the experience would unfold. From the first email and the friendly calls that came after, I always feel like I’m greeted by old friends. There’s plenty of outfits to choose from for the children as well as beautiful props. Then comes the viewing – they play a wonderful slideshow and really show off their work on a large cinema screen (I don’t think I’ve had a dry eye lol). They then go through all the products they offer in more detail – though there is a guide on their website!! I mean – I’ve had the session for free – so I was always intending to get a couple of prints – but in the end – I realised a frame would be so much more impactful and having had this on my wall for the last 7 years – I can honestly say it has brought me so much joy to see it every day. The quality of the print and the frame is out of this world – it’s incredible actually!!! That’s why I’ve been back to match up with my little girl 😊. I will always pick Mackney as their ethos is all about creating beautiful artwork. Nothing is hidden – the process is on their website and the staff are very transparent how they work too which I love! Nothing is ever too much trouble. Working in the customer service sector they will always have dissatisfied customers, but that’s not because of the Mackneys, they really, truly are a friendly bunch who care so much about their business. I will always 100% recommend them over and over again, thank you for the wonderful memories,

Lovely people and beautiful photographs, we were made very welcome and a cuppa is always a plus sign for me :) I’ve been here twice now and would 100% recommend x

THE BEST PLACE TO CAPTURE THAT PERFECT PHOTO.
We had a truly amazing experience for my 11 YOD, she was so comfortable and had a lot of fun at the shoot with Simon who totally put her at ease. You are amazing Simon!

The viewing experience was superb and we all cried with joy to see the incredible images and hard work come to life. You are a such great team and bring an idea beyond just a photo. To us it’s art and you captured our daughters love and passion for swimming in a beautiful selection of unique outstanding photos.

This was our second visit and we loved every minute of our experience same as the first. We’re not shy at shouting from the roof tops how great you all are and we will return in the future. THANK YOU 😊

Wow 🤩! What can I say … from start to finish we were made to feel so welcome and just want to thank you all for producing the most wonderful portraits for me and my family ! We have just been to collect our beautiful wall art and we could not be happier with the finished results ! We can’t wait to hang them on our walls and we got something for my mum too and can’t wait to give her the montage that the viewer Patiently helped us put together, there really was so many to choose from , We were spoilt for choice ! We had a family shoot and the photographer was so patient with my 6 yr old boy who was a bit of a handful and love how you managed to capture his wonderful cheeky side and especially the ones of all of us together you really did give us portraits that will last a lifetime and wanted to thank everybody at the Mackney team that made this such a wonderful experience! We definitely spent more than we thought but know that the quality of your work is 5 star and we could not be happier the results !!!
Kind regards

I had such a good experience with Mackney. They listened to what I wanted and helped me choose the right package. They were really helpful and friendly and made me feel comfortable on the day of the photoshoot. It was a positive experience all round and I’m really happy with my end result!

Firstly, the customer service and team are really great and friendly so thank you.

We won a family portrait session with 1 print included. Fine, that sounded great, when we arrived the shoot felt fun and relaxed, we had a great time.

Upon doing our viewing, the photos looked great except there were more of just my wife and child without me than with me in, the ones I was in, arguably someone each time didn’t look great. I was a little bit upset about this. We went through all of the package options which are way too expensive, coming to the conclusion would just take our free print, to which we were told it could only be one of the family ones, meaning for the majority of the photo session the team were trying to upsell to us. The photos of wife and baby were incredible and really impactful but would cost £200 basic to get some of these.

Ethically, Mackney are crooks. Nothing is as it seems with them and they seem to do all the can to squeeze every penny out of you. The photos are over edited too which is a shame, I’m not a model, I don’t want to be airbrushed.

Summary: if you’re rich then go for it! If you’re not, book in with a local photographer and do some nice candid photos on a walk or location of importance to you, for the same price you’d get plenty of digital images to do with as you please.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, I would never have done this kind of thing due to my anxiety, but the whole team at Mackney Studios made me feel extremely comfortable and they were very patient with my son who was 7 months at the time. They explained exactly what was going to happen, asked if there was any photos I’d like to take (certain outfits, props etc), my son needed feeding and we felt at ease, not rushed or hurried due to the time. I have the most gorgeous photos of my son and cherish memories of the day to last a lifetime. I recommend this company to the highest level! Thank you to everyone (including the pup!) x

I couldn’t recommend enough! I won a pop master experience for my little boy who was 8 months at the time, the photographer was so patient with him and was just so lovely! She captured some amazing shots and a special moment between us! When I went to view the photos, it was a beautiful put together showing! The team have been lovely and friendly throughout my experience! I collected my photos and complementary mug & keyring, they made me very emotional as they were such amazing pieces and the quality is unreal! Id just like to say a massive thankyou to you all!

This was a great experience from start to finish. They were professional and welcoming, creating a lovely environment for my daughter to feel at ease when having her photo taken. The finished product was amazing and something we will treasure forever.

Loved our experience from start to finish, the quality of our frames are impeccable and would highly recommend to anyone!

Funky looking decor with very unprofessional approach!

Arrived for a fairy photoshoot with my little one, the space was filthy, not been hoovered or wiped down for weeks, flooring so dirty you can see dirty feet on pictures now. Photograper was not ready for a shoot at all, I had to wait a while. 2 dresses were offered for a complete look with wings to be attached. Mind you, you are dealing with little children (mine was 1 at that time) and you are offering wings with a load of old elastic bands hanging off it that cannot be used and for some reason could not be cut off, concidering the wings are being attached to a dress with a SAFETY PIN, SHARP SAFETY PIN that kept openning and pricking my little ones back at least 4 times!!!!Health and Safety isnt important in this place! Then it was along process of keeping her occupied. Once again, you would expect a photographer dealing with kids, to use some accessories to keep their focus. Not in this case, apart from simple 200 times "pick a boos" that would not work, I had to get involved before my little one started crying from "helpful" pick a boos and a face showing up from behind the camera. Photographer didn`t use any lights, just camera on sports option taking 100s of pics. Yet when it came to viewing them, a handful of them were decent enogh (quality wide) in most on them the facial features were not in focus at all and ALL had the only ONE feature added (little fairy, same one to every single image). So Photoshop skills aren`t good enough either and no attention to detail. At the time of viewing , they will sit you in a nice room , with nice music on, dimmed lights, huge screen, the best images on the walls, so everything to distract your attention from the quiality of the images they will present to you! No wonder why I only saw many disapoiting details only aftre the images were printed! They will do whatever it takes to distract you, being wonderfully nice , taking abount family , kids and stuff... So one of the photograph had these wings with elactic band showing up on it, and for some reason you think this is tottally accaptable to be shown at the time of viewing after a 6 WEEKs post-shoot processing wait, 6 weeks of someone looking the the handfull of images! It looks more like "last minute.com business". Obviously, I requested the image to be edited after it has been printed, I was asked to return the original image for an exchange (like I would want to use it with such Quality!) So, I had to get 2 trips to exchange the image, yet one of the members was suprised why I was so upset, when I "should be pleased we did it for you"!!!? Really, pleased you did it for me, pleased to point out at your own unprofessional mistekes? pleased to spend my time on it? How very unprofessional! Totally dissapointed! And for all that poorly photoshopped hassle, be ready to pay a minimum of £600 (as images come in minimum set of 9, electronic versions starting from over a £1000. I would not recommend at all, not to a friend, nor to the enemy

We had an amazing day! We were welcomed into the studio by a number of friendly faces!
Photographer and her assistant worked brilliantly together to get the best shots of my little girl and some of the 2 of us together!

The photo viewing later was presented lovely and choosing the images I could afford was hard work

Lots of pictures taken so that there are plenty to choose from. The quality of the montage, along with individual pictures we purchased was very good. They are happy to take on board your own suggestions for poses/backgrounds too.

An absolute five star experience from beginning to end. Everyone we met was so passionate and kind. From the very first booking contact right through to collecting the final prints in a frame, it was brilliant. Thank you.

It was lovely but for the price etc I thought the experience would’ve been a little bit better for example we would’ve liked a drink been offered looking through our pictures

Amazing service here and great quality products. Our dog honey had a great time and so did we. All staff were awesome and nothing was ever too much trouble. Would recommend this place 100%. The stages were all explained and the follow ups really helped with keeping track of what we needed to do next. Ie. Photoshoot>viewing>collection
5 star service, so professional yet you felt very comfortable there.
