Mark Swinford Photography Avis 

From having our sons photoshoot with Sophie to picking the photos with Cherry the whole experience has been fantastic and we can’t wait to see the finished products when they arrive.

Both sophie and Cherry were brilliant, Sophie made us all very relaxed and helped us get the most out of our photo shoot which we enjoyed very much. Cherry was super helpful and friendly so we were able to choose the best option for our varied family needs. would highly recommend Mark Swinford Photography for a great experience.

I was really nervous going for the shoot - my body confidence has been really low for a while after having cancer and surgery. I had a phone call from Sophie a few days before the shoot to discuss it, she told me the plan, how things work and what to bring with me. She also gave me time to discuss any worries. When I came on the day the team were friendly and welcoming. Steph did an absolutely fabulous job of my hair and makeup but also helping me to relax into the day. Sophie was amazing, she really made a relaxed environment, she was patient and understanding.
The photos all look amazing!

Amazing experience with my newborn and 2 year old. Sophie was amazing with my newborn, even when my newborn was fussy she even offered to feed her a bottle and settled her and played with my 2 year old. It was a relaxed environment too! We loved picking our photos with Cherry, she was very helpful and gave us an extra photo for free when we were struggling to decide between the two! Lovely time!

Our amazing photographer charlotte was really great with our baby who didn’t struggle to engage our baby and make her smile multiple times.. cherry was really professional and kind and really thorough showing us the photos throughout :)

Charlotte the photographer was brilliant. Made our family photoshoot as smooth as possible and got some great photos, even with a newborn and a toddler not cooperating! Cherry was brilliant in the photo viewing and was more than accommodating for our budget. Great experience overall!

Really good experience. The staff were amazing at the photo shoot, Charlotte really took her time and made me feel comfortable and was really patient with me and the baby. Cherry also was amazing at the viewing and explained everything clearly and helped go through photos. Overall would definitely recommend and I will be coming back when she’s older 💜

I went for a boudoir shoot and had my makeup done by Charlotte and my photographer was Sophie.
Both girls were amazing, friendly and easy to talk to. I felt completely comfortable during the shoot and loved the whole experience.
I had just had a baby so the confidence I felt after was just amazing.

I had my consultation and cinematic viewing with Cherry, she showed me all their amazing packages and helped to design a flexible package that worked for me.

Overall a brilliant experience with a brilliant team.

My daughter & son-in-law had their daughters first birthday cake smash package done with this wonderful company.
As soon as they arrived for the photo shoot they had such a warm welcome.
Charlotte was their photographer & made the experience so lovely.
She was calm, friendly, put everyone at ease & made it lot’s of fun for our granddaughter.
The resulting photos surpassed our expectations !
Our consultant, when we went to look at the images was Cherry.
Cherry explained all of the options available, we took our time as it was so difficult choosing, we didn’t feel rushed at all & Cherry really helped us through the whole process.
As we were returning customers Cherry added in a couple of very generous bonuses which we weren’t expecting so that was lovely.
We can’t recommend Mark Swinford Photographers enough .

I booked a boudoir photoshoot because I'm very self-conscious and have never been particularly confident about my body. I wanted to see myself the way my partner sees me, and I can honestly say the whole experience exceeded every expectation.

From the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel so welcome. Charlotte, the makeup artist, was absolutely lovely. She was so chatty and friendly, which really helped me relax as I was incredibly nervous.

Charlotte, the photographer, was brilliant. We had such a laugh throughout the shoot, and she made me feel comfortable and confident. She listened to what I wanted while also encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone. Looking back at the photos, I'm so glad I trusted her.

I became quite emotional during the viewing appointment because I genuinely wasn't expecting the photos to be that good. I had only planned on choosing a handful, but I ended up keeping 30 because I loved so many of them.

Cherry, who helped me during the viewing, was fantastic. She made choosing my favourites so much easier without making me feel pressured, and she even offered me a discount when I wanted a more bespoke package than the standard options.

It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and I'm so glad I decided to do it. I can't wait for my partner to see the photos. If you're thinking about booking a boudoir shoot but are feeling nervous or lacking confidence, I'd absolutely recommend taking the leap. You might just surprise yourself.

Had a great Iris shoot, included my partner and daughter and then ordered a framed portrait. Really professional and the quality is excellent.

Wow , I booked the boudoir experience for my wife who was feeling worn out and drained . Very nervously she took the boudoir shoot and Sophie the photographer immediately made her feel at ease . Following make up and hair she relaxed and really enjoyed the experience. The change in her just after that shoot was remarkable. She said she felt confident and at ease and couldn’t believe just how they treated her in her words like a queen . Fast forward to our meeting with Cherry who directed our viewing and wow again the welcome and treatment was first class . As we viewed the shoot the tears on my wife’s face said it all she looked amazing and classy . No pressure at all but as Cherry said this should be on every woman’s bucket list and we agreed . We decide to go full hog and ordered the full Monty package and the quality is amazing . Thank you all especially Sophie and Cherry you were amazing and showed how beautiful my wife is to her which before she had simply forgot . First class

If I could give zero stars I would they hound you saying you’ve won a prize of a photoshoot but you have to pay a deposit to book which you apparently get back but if you need to rearrange your booking you have to pay again because you didn’t know 5 days in advance that illness would mean you needed to change the date, not a prize at all it’s a booking gimmick

We had the best photo shoot with Sophie at the studio. She was absolutely brilliant. Honestly from start to finish we enjoyed every moment. The photos are AMAZING the best photography company I’ve ever come across.

I was gifted a voucher by our wedding dress company for saying yes to my dress which I think is an amazing thing mark Swinford does for brides to be makes that experience all more special, upon the day of our shoot Charlotte and Steph was incredible made me feel really at ease. We chatted whilst I had my hair and makeup done and then Charlotte entertained my children until I was ready - she worked her socks off in that studio my child is hard work and she was constantly on the ball with him.

We came to view our photos and my fiancé got emotional watching the slideshow that’s how much the photos just showed our family in such a natural, beautiful way they was incredible!

Cherrie was lovely, she gave us a lovely experience viewing our photos. when we explained our financial situation she understood completely as the packages are very pricey but I think you pay for what you get the photos are amazing and the experience as a whole is the best we’ve had.

I would 100% recommend this studio I just wish we could have took the whole album home that’s how incredible they was. Thank you

I was to start off by saying that Charlotte our photographer and the make up artist were amazing and really enjoyed the experience. It's what came next that I have a problem with...
Going into the viewing with my daughter the lady put quite a lot of pressure on us to take the £2000 album and all the bells and whistles, I told her that we can only buy 2 pics as we were getting married 6 weeks later, she seemed to really take it personally and was quite off with us for the rest viewing. I do think there should be more visibility of pricing for extras and offer it as extras - not pressure someone into taking out credit for a very over priced album.
We have just received our photos and I could have cried. My little girl has been filtered beyond recognition. The photos were beautiful without such a heavy filter. I would not use the service again, which is a shame because the actual mother daughter photo shoot was lovely.

My partner & I had an Iris shoot, I was really easy, no pressure to purchase, but we wanted one of the creative eyes blended together, as a couple, this will look really cool on our wall. We ordered the high-res digital and will get a canvas made of it soon. thanks, Tom, for being so helpful and making the whole process pain-free!

A very easy experience but we felt quite rushed and I'd have liked more information on the iris photography.
It was sit, flash, goodbye which felt a bit impersonal and could have been better.

MSP have been great from the outset. After having to reschedule numerous times following a few help crisis’, finally met Sophie and had a wonderful shoot for my two boys, a baby and toddler.
We’re a neurodiverse family and Sophie was so calm and understanding and so so helpful.
We recently had the viewing and chose our photos and they’re stunning. Cannot wait to have them on our walls. Can’t thank you all, especially Sophie enough!

We all went for our family portrait before my son leaves for Uni. Loved the results, the shoot was fun, relaxed and exactly what we wanted. Sophie the photographer really helped us with ideas, also as Leeds fans we really love the portrait all wearing our Leeds shirts.
