Family Capow and Enchanted Shoot
Took my family for the capow session and my daughter for the fairy photoshoot as a fun Christmas present experience, the studio is very warm and stylish, with a relaxed and positive atmosphere.
Michael the owner and photographer was so very welcoming and friendly, putting us at ease and attentive to anything we as a family needed, he made us all laugh together and feel special for our shoot.
After the shoot, we left on such a high, and couldn’t wait to see our pictures in the next appointment.
On the revisit, we sat back and look on in amazement as our picture package had so much more than we were expecting. To say we were pleased is an understatement.
The professionalism of Michael and the beautiful studio he creates his masterpieces in was an experience in itself.
But the images we walked away with will remain a treasure in my heart forever.
Would highly recommend anyone looking for a friendly, warm, professional, trustworthy photo shoot to use Dearden Studio
Portrait of Angela Newmans Children

Thank you so much to Mike for an absolutely incredible treat for our daughter's 6th birthday. We booked a Superhero photoshoot for her and it certainly did not disappoint! Mike was incredible from the beginning to the end, making my daughter feel at ease instantly and amazingly coaxing her very shy little sister out of her shell. By the end of the shoot, they were both running around being badass superheroes, having the time of their lives! Mike has such a wonderful way with the children and really brought out their personalities in the outstanding photos. Viewing the edited shots as a slideshow in the beautifully decorated and very comfortable studio surroundings made the experience complete; the only difficult thing was choosing from so many incredible photos! Thank you so much Mike, you made two little girls SO happy and you were a pleasure to deal with, we had a great laugh and you are a complete professional, as well as a thoroughly nice dude! We will definitely come back and see you again soon! :-)

Portrait for Rhian Butcher Bridgend, South Wales
Rhian Butcher
Innovative teen shot with fun and gorgeous photos. My son loved his superhero experience, putting his own twist on things which the photographer was happy to accommodate. My youngest thoroughly enjoyed her fairy shoot and was astonished to see all the fairies she had managed to hold and had flying around her! Would highly recommend this photographer for all your family shoots!

Family Shoot
Had a photoshoot done for my 4-month-old and could not be happier with our experience. Mike was excellent with my daughter and came up with some excellent unique ideas for the photos which turned out absolutely fantastic - so much so that we struggled to pick out a few favourites to be framed because they were all stunning.

We booked a boudoir shoot with Dearden Studio-the experience surpassed all expectations! Friendly, professional and innovative, Mike and his team put us at ease and gave us such an uplifting experience.
