I booked a photoshoot for my Wife's 50th. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. A very friendly team who do their very best to make sure you are relaxed. Dorian was brilliant over the phone with the bookings, very honest as well. On arrival he met us at the carpark , helped with our change of clothes and made us very welcome. My wife and myself definitely will recommend them highly. 15 out of 10 no doubt. And by the way all the pictures were lovely

It was my first time doing a photoshoot and Image1st really did a splendid job at guiding through ideas for what I wanted the photos to look like for my music project. This really made me feel happy and comfortable when I arrived at the shoot because everyone was extremely nice and were so supportive of what I wanted to do. They are serious professionals and a talented group!

Incredibly friendly staff! Make you feel really welcome and relaxed! Really professional and I was very impressed with the insanely talented photographer Luke! They had lots of props and lighting options! though I would have preferred more purple lighting personally for my brand, there’s still plenty of options.
I’d definitely recommend Image1st and I will for sure be going back for any more photos I need :-) ! Really happy with the photos and look forward to another shoot with them :-)
Though, I forgot to mention a couple of small insecurities I have about my face/ body so in retrospect

I am so happy with photos shot for a multi tribute show at image1st. The team was very professional and had reference shots ready to steer the shoot in the right direction. I never felt rushed although the team were super busy. Make up artist will either touch up your make-up or start from scratch who has a great eye for detail- I don't recognise myself in the photos as the photographer unlocked a personality that I never knew I had and captured it through a lens! Couldn't be happier with the results and already thinking about booking another session.

Also my second time with Image 1st and I cannot recommend them enough! The skills of the photographer I’ve had is, quite frankly, incredible. He makes you feel at ease and has a great eye for getting the best shots. The hair and makeup service is insanely good too! Calli made me look like I was going to the Oscars. All round a brilliant friendly team and I can’t believe their prices are this competitive considering what you’re getting. I’d happily pay double for this level of service!

My name is Matt Fox. Last year I decided to start looking at my online presence and branding.
I found image 1st on the internet and was really impressed by the quality of the photography, but more importantly, it seemed to be the only photo shoot studio in London that published all their prices online.
I was so amazed with my photos! Just how I wanted them to be, and the branding advice Doren Gabriel the Managing Director gave me has helped my business double in bookings since my website launched in January 2013.
I would recommend anyone looking to have professional photography to check out
