Venture Studios Greenwich - Greenwich, Connecticut

Venture is the place you go when you want an experience. The photoshoot is a fun time for you and your family. Go with it; be yourself, laugh, enjoy! Then you return a few weeks later to see a slide show of the photos. It brought me to tears. The Venture team knows their stuff; how to light, how to shoot, how to crop. They are also experts on nuances of color and style. They work with you to determine frame color and size. Bring photos of the rooms you are thinking of gracing with the photos, and they will give you the best options. You will not be rushed. You can ask to crop something differently, see various frame options, even do some light retouching. (For me it was a hair clip I wanted to disappear!) Now, to price. They are not inexpensive. But, frankly, you get what you pay for. They will work with you on financing, and choosing less expensive options - just ask! The finished product is a true family heirloom. We went to them first in 2009 and got photos of our family when the children were young. Now it's 2025 and the children are adults. We wanted to have new photos representing a new era. We were not disappointed!

Great team and stunning images! We were gifted a newborn photoshoot and were thrilled at how easy it was. Anna was fabulous as our photographer and made the babies and us feel so comfortable. Will do it again as they get older.

My girlfriend and I had a great experience with Venture. The photographer and studio director created an engaging environment throughout the process. We participated in a free raffle and won the opportunity for a free photography session. You get a free 5x7 photo with the opportunity to pay for bundles or singles. They were flexible with scheduling our initial session. The team schedules a follow-up meeting to review photos and discuss pricing options for digital and printed photos, which are not cheap ($$$$). We decided to purchase printed photos, which takes 6-8 weeks after editing and printing. I’ll update this review once we receive the final photos.

My husband and I were in search of a photographer who would meet our personal and professional needs. We found just that at Venture Studios in Greenwich CT. Our trip up from NYC was well worth it. Their photographer, Gaby, was patient, open to our concerns, and really talented. She listened to our needs and more than met our expectations. Naz took care of showing us the results and fine-tuning our photo package to meet our specific needs with their array of products. We recommend this studio to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming experience leading to an aesthetically outstanding product. We will be using them again for our future photography needs.

Pictures were amazing and everyone is so nice there, photographer was so patient with my son and the person who did the viewing was SUPER understanding and took the time to explain how everything works. So happy with the quality of my pictures !

I had such an amazing time working with Gabby & Naz- their talent is truly like nothing I’ve ever seen. We took photos with Gabby who was beyond professional and strategic with her approach. Then we met at a later date to view our photos that reached far beyond my expectations. She truly captured our family- pure & happy. Naz, the graphic designer, walked me through options for framing and was so helpful in helping me decide what option was best. She also has an incredible eye, paying attention to the details. If you are looking for family photos that can become artwork for your home, I highly highly suggest working with Venture Photo studios. I am so particular about photos and they blew me away with their talent!!! 11/10!

We had a great experience at Venture Studios. We were lucky enough to win a free photoshoot in a giveaway with the studio, and ended up purchasing the digital package of our family photos. The photographer did a great job of engaging our 4 month old and we're very happy with the final output!

I have never felt so compelled to write a negative review but after my experience with this company I need to warn others that it is a bait and switch scam. The previous reviews nailed the experience - we "won" a free photo shoot through a raffle, along with a free 5x7 print and my family and I were so excited! We did have a great time doing the shoot with Gabriella, but the shoe dropped when she handed me a booklet with the price options costing in the thousands of dollars ("but you can always finance" we were told) and said we would need to come back for an in person viewing.

Since we had a great time, I agreed and made a follow up appointment. However, after discussing it with my husband, we canceled because the prices were so high and we weren't in the market for new pictures anyway. We only went because we "won" the shoot. When I canceled, the woman I spoke with on the phone told me that they could email me the photos with their watermark so that I could pick out the free photo, which sounded fine to me. Less than 10 minutes later another woman from the studio left a message trying to get me back in the studio.

A couple of weeks passed, and I never received the digital images so I called back to find out what was going on. I spoke with the woman who left the message trying to get me back in and she told me "that was never told to me" and they "record all of their conversations," basically calling me a liar. I responded by telling her "if that was the case then you would know that I ended the conversation asking if they had my email" (which they did), so that they could send me the images.

Put off by her unwillingness to send the images AS PROMISED, and eluding to me being a liar, I expressed my anger. She then told me they could do a Zoom showing -- with a rude exasperated breath which I called her out on. I agreed to the Zoom call and then she told me that even with that I would have to come back into the studio to pick up my free image. I'm sorry, but what year is it that you can't send something in the mail? After that, I said "I am done" and hung up the phone.

Was I angry on the call? YES. Rude, possibly. But this was a BLATANT LIE and BAIT AND SWITCH. The operating practices are awful and not transparent at all and I would recommend everyone AVOID at all costs.

I will be speaking with local organizers to make sure they are aware of these practices with the hope other residents won't be misled.
