“Update 21.12.20 – we used Mike Turner Photography again this year which must now be our tenth consecutive year. What can I say? Against the background of a horrid year across the world and with government restrictions that seemed to change daily, Mike, Hazel and Wendy were, once again, *superb*. They followed all social distancing and Wendy, as ever, came up with fresh, vibrant, wonderful new ideas for photos. Wendy is a legend – you will not go wrong there. Mike arranged our viewing remotely which we all adapted to and Hazel was fantastic in arranging for email copies of our photos. We all had to be flexible this year and the team were fantastic as ever. We regret we didn’t have G&G for our family photoshoot this year but hope we can make up for that soon. Thanks again for being a wonderful team and we will see you next year in 2021. Thanks again for everything.
PS would be remiss of me not to mention. I was fortunate to be promoted to Lieutenant Commander and my Mum wanted some photos (guess it’s a Mum thing). It was an unusual request but the team obliged and Mum was made up with Wendy’s photos of me in uniform for her special request.
So, in summary, an unusual year in terms of the rules but yet again an entirely usual year in terms of the quality of service we received. Thanks again to the wonderful team. You will not go wrong with Mike Turner Photography. Thanks to you all from the Driscoll Family xx”

“My mum and sister and nephew had a photo shoot and they both said Wendy who took the pictures was lovely and made them feel very welcoming. The pictures Wendy took was absolutely stunning and we really couldn’t choose there was that many.
Mike was great too when we went to view the pictures.
Thank you to all for such a lovely day x”

“We have just got back from a mother and daughter photoshoot that was initially booked prior to lockdown, and then postponed until today. Myself and my 7 year old daughter had an absolutely amazing experience, all of the staff were lovely, very friendly and welcoming and made us both feel really at ease. We can’t wait to go back to see our photos in 2 weeks! Thank you for a great day.

“I have been twice now (mother daughter makeover and family photo shoots) and on both occasions it has been worth it! The team are brilliant and I can’t think for the life of me the name of the woman who took our photos…she is awesome! I had a very difficult to work with 5 year old, my whole family and a dog and she nailed it. The options for prints are great value for money, there’s no hidden costs/pressure to buy – a truly great experience and will definitely be booking again.
Thank you”

“What a great team! I have visited twice now, the first time was for a couples photoshoot and the second time was for a family photoshoot. The whole experience is a pleasant one and I’m always delighted with the results of my photos. I’m very pleased to have found such a pleasant and talented team so local to me, I will continue to return here and highly recommend Mike Turner Photography.”

“Our family tradition continues with Mike and his brilliant team of Wendy and Hazel. We had our usual selection of photos. Wendy was brilliant with taking photos of our little boy and came up with, totally out of the blue, some fab ideas for the girls: Wendy had fans blowing their hair, garland flowers and – the pièce de résistance – jumping in the air photos. How Wendy managed to snap them in mid air, I’ll never know. Absolutely bowled over. Thank you!
Top notch, as always. We had many photos taken – some of all of us, some of just the children, various combinations and some of just Grandma and Grandad; I think G & G have come to regard our annual trip to Mike as very much part of their annual trip now, which is wonderful. Mike couldn’t have been more
welcoming – he always is. At the photoshoot, I asked could we book for next year. Hazel didn’t have a diary for winter 2020 (entirely understandably) and, bless Hazel, she only went out and bought one ready for our viewing session. Nice one, Hazel. Did we book for next year? Course we did. You will not go wrong with Mike Turner and his team. He carries my highest possible recommendation and has earned my complete trust over many years. Bravo Zulu.”

“Mike produced a fantastic photo DVD slideshow for my husbands 50th birthday. It was better than I could ever have hoped for. Mike was easy to work with from a distance (I’m in Scotland) he was really helpful, generous with his advice and patient with my changes of mind. The end result was brilliant and a much enjoyed end to the day – and has been enjoyed multiple times since the birthday. 5 star service and highly recommended!”

“Fantastic and friendly..The photos of our dog are absolutely beautiful (she is the cutest TBH ).. The studio is great and very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, both lady’s are lovely and helpful.
Mike showed us the pictures taken in a very comfortable room and he was so helpful at choosing the photos, and not at all pushy or persuasive.
A big thank you..and will be highly recommended from
Pauline,Barry & Amber ? ??? “

“Update 13.10.18: we used Mike again for the eighth consecutive year for our ritual, annual family photoshoot. It’s a firm family tradition and Mike, supported by his fabulous team of Wendy and Hazel have, once again, delivered in spades. Wendy worked her magic behind the camera, taking lots of shots and was so helpful in suggesting backgrounds and poses. In particular, we had a newborn (7 weeks) with us and everybody was so utterly nice and sympathetic towards the challenges and demands associated with a young baby. The pace was relaxed and the atmosphere so friendly. Mike guided us, as he always does, through the ever-difficult task of whittling down the shortlist when we went to view and Hazel made sure that everything ran smoothly. It should come as no surprise that we have already booked Mike, Wendy and Hazel again for next year. It continues to be a pleasure to be regular customer and as I wrote last year, I have absolutely every confidence in the team and, to use the exact turn of phrase I used last time: you will not go wrong..”

“I recently had a makeover and photo shoot, and can honestly say I loved it! A massive Thankyou to Wendy who has taken the most lovely photos, she really makes you feel comfortable when having them done! Mike and Hazel were also lovely and really helpful when it came to selecting the photos I wanted and purchasing them. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”

“Absolutely love all my little girls photos from the Fairy Photo shoot …. they were fantastic with her… she has Down’s syndrome and is non verbal and they made us all feel at ease, she loved every minute. We will definitely be using Mike again and would highly recommend to anyone… Thank you.”

“I have used Mike for many years (>7) and been a regular repeat customer. Mike is a real gentleman and there is no ‘hard sell’ policy. He is wonderfully supported by Hazel who ensures that all the administration runs smoothly and Wendy who has taken some absolutely superb photographs of us over the years. All the team are excellent with kids and entirely family-friendly. I would recommend Mike without any shadow of hesitation and I am very happy to be one of his regular customers. He and his team are genuine. So much so, we have asked him to do our wedding photos by special personal request. I like him a lot (based on many years of business) and I recommend him 100%. You will not go wrong.”

“Such an Amazing experience. We did a mother and daughter session, and enjoyed ourselves so much…had so much fun. Wendy took incredible pictures, made us feel so at ease and supportive with ideas. Hazel was so welcoming too. We went back for our viewing with mike and were delighted. No pressure to purchase, (but did because the pics were so good) and really helpful. Thank you for a wonderful, fun experience.”

“My daughter and I had our photo experience 2 weeks ago. Wendy, the photographer was absolutely brilliant with my little girl (who can be quite shy with strangers) and we had a lovely afternoon! Today we returned to see out pictures and they were absolutely amazing! Mike was a lovely guy who explained everything to us and give us his own opinion when we were struggling to decide! From start to finish the communication with Hazel and the professionalism from all the team has been fabulous and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company!”

“Thank you to Mike Turner and the team for the lovely photos for my 21st Birthday. I felt a little nervous at first as I have never had a photo shoot done before, but the chilled out atmosphere soon put me at ease. The make up was just how I had imagined it to be and did not look at all heavy. Wendy, the photographer, guided me through the whole shoot and was very attentive throughout the experience.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the recommend”

“When sitting either reading a book or staring at a computer screen trying to pick up the very basics of ISO, Aperture and Shutter I found it daunting and I simply wasn’t grasping it at all. I found no articles on these subjects that were aimed at a beginner After a bit of research I came across Mike Turner Photography and decided to bite the bullet and get a tutorial. The difference it makes having someone explain it in what turned out to be really quite simple terms is amazing. I have picked up more in one hour than in all the time I’ve been browsing articles on the internet. If you’re interested in the subject and have a desire to learn in a relaxed informal environment, then I would definitely recommend a tutorial. Homework to be done now, before the next step. Thanks very much.”
Nov 29, 2014 by Barrie Woodward
“Relaxed session, jam packed with so much useful information about how to get the best from your camera and the type of shots you are looking for. Mike explains each section / topic in an easy to understand manner and mixes it with practice to illustrate the subject – with surprisingly quick better results!. Would highly recommend the tutorials to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of photography.”

“We were bought a ‘watch me grow’ voucher for our first child & I can honestly say it was the best gift we could have asked for. We’ve since had another watch me grow package for our second baby & other family photos done at Mike Turner Photography. Mike, Hazel & Wendy are all so friendly & make everyone feel comfortable. We love our photos & will definitely be visiting again in the future.”
