Please pick your appointment type from the options below, then select your ideal appointment date and time. We’ll then need a few brief pieces of information about your booking and then you’re all set. The booking form below is to make an appointment for standard portraits.
For all appointments, we securely hold credit/debit card information on file. This is to confirm your appointment, similar to a hotel or restaurant booking. Your card will not be charged unless you do not arrive for your appointment. Missed appointments will be charged a £25 administration fee. You can reschedule your appointment at any time up until 12 hours before. See your appointment confirmation e-mail for details. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Pre-Christmas Deadline: To receive your photos before the holidays, please note that the final date for photoshoots is Thursday 12th December 2024. Any bookings after this date are not guaranteed to have images ready in time for the Christmas holiday season.
Our photography studio address where your photoshoot will take place is West 70 Photography, 9 Cleeve Wood Road, Downend, Bristol, BS16 2SF. Directions to us: Google Maps, Waze, What3Words, Apple Maps.
There’s free 2 hour parking outside our studio, although sometimes it can take a few minutes to find a space when busier. Please allow time for this. Traffic in the local area can also get busy during rush hour, so please factor this in. There is bicycle parking outside the studio and we are near bus routes. We can also be reached easily on foot.
Please arrive at our studio in Downend a few minutes before your photoshoot is scheduled to begin. This is so we can complete the booking process and get things situated. Staff will be on-site ready for you approximately 15 minutes before your appointment begins. If you arrive before this time, please don’t worry if the studio is not open for you. We may be with another booking or getting things setup. We will be with you as soon as we’re ready.
You will receive confirmation via e-mail of your appointment. Please check your inbox and spam folder for this confirmation. Your e-mail address and mobile phone number provided will be used to remind you of your appointment. Contact information will not be used for any promotional purposes. The standard portrait photoshoot will last up to an hour. Your photoshoot will begin at the scheduled start time and will conclude up to one hour after the appointment begins. Appointments may naturally conclude before the full amount of time has passed.
Our standard portrait photography package makes use of our ‘infinity cove’ white backdrop, exclusively. This means all photographs will all be taken on a white background with our standard lighting setup. Standard portrait appointments cannot be upgraded to the premium portrait option at the time of the appointment. Due to the specialist setup required for the premium portrait appointment type, it can only be booked in advance.
We have a changing room on site if you wish to bring changes of outfit. This is entirely optional and up to you. We want you to be comfortable. Outfit changes are possible during your photoshoot, if time permits. Please bring along anything you may need during the photoshoot. A unisex bathroom is also available within the studio space.
No shoes are allowed to be worn while on our ‘infinity cove’ white backdrop. This is so we can keep it looking tidy for all visitors. Socks or bare feet are welcome.
Your photoshoot session may include both sitting and standing poses. Please let us know of any mobility issues or additional considerations, so we can accommodate any needs. Disabled access to our studio is available, which will be setup prior to your arrival, on request.
Please let us know of any special requests or instructions at the time of your booking. Please make sure you have shared any inspiration (photos etc) with us ahead of your appointment, so we can confirm if it’s possible. We cannot promise we will be able to accommodate any requests made on the day, but we will always try our best. We kindly request that customers ensure they are fully informed about the services included in the appointment type they are booking. We appreciate your attention to these details to help avoid any confusion. You can view what’s included in our standard portraits at any time.
Payment is due at the appointment. If paying by gift voucher, in whole or in part, please bring this with you to the appointment. We accept all major credit/debit cards. We do not accept cash or cheques.
When making a booking, we require that a credit/debit card is provided to confirm the appointment. The card details provided are securely held on file to protect against missed appointments. Your card will not be charged unless you do not arrive for your appointment. Missed appointments will be charged a £25.00 administration fee. Appointments will be considered missed if we have not heard from you within 15 minutes of the appointment start time.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please refer to your confirmation email.
