Well done all of you

( i even ran to check my inbox but no such luck ) gutted but hey ho might still have a look as the manchester one is near me

Congratulations to all you fellow winners ? I am so excited now, so just need to make a date in Manchester.

Wonder how many outfits to take etc? Would you take your veil and wedding shoes, I was thinking I have a black bask with my wedding shoes and veils black and white theme? Need some new underwear sets. Oh what to do ?

My mum has jewellery and I have 2 hats what about you?

It says you get 1 free 5 x 7 photo in gift box. Do you know if you will still be able to buy the extra prints and put in an album yourselves?

TIA

This is the email I have received back:

It looks like you get 40% discount on reprints, album etc

Oh im all excited.... although not getting married till 17th July 10!!!!! What to do ..... Shall i do it for xmas!!!!

Kerry

I emailed them at 20 to 12 and received reply by 5 past 12.

Its ever so exciting I am plus size lady so very nervous but really excited now. That is not a bad idea about pictures for xmas, my h2b is 40 the month after are wedding do I give them to for the wedding, or for his big birthday?

x

I email at 12:25 and still no reply!!!

Its my H2B 30th in October so maybe a possibility or an xmas present or a wedding present but thats 12months away dont think i can wait that long so maybe a 30th B'day present!!!

Im excited and nervous all at the same time....let me know what you decide and vice versa!!!

Kerry xx

I have just rung them now, and have a temporary date. But here goes, with this package like anything!

They require a £29 deposit prior to booking. 1 free 5 x 7 print with the prize, each print after this with is 5 x 7 is £79 each, if you buy 10 or 7 you get them for the price of 5.

They will keep your account open for 1 month after the shoot, but if you want it to be left open longer then you speak to the photographer. I am thinking I will now give it to him for his 40th as I have already got his wedding present which is his watch.

What she has suggested is they give you a card with your log in details, then h2b can choose his/our choice of picture. Then that will be the picture free within the package.

Still no reply...

Thanks for the info so do you get the deposit back?

Yeah im thinking doing it for H2B 30th in Oct ...to long await otherwise.... it said on the email you got 40% albums etc ..... was that true?

Kerry x

Yeah but still £417

x

Ouch i thought they were £447 with 40% off making them £268.20!!!!

Anyway whay email did you email them on?

Kerry

You would think so, but there always is @ ?????

I think I am going to pay for 1 extra print at £79, they can do over standing order. So that way he has 2 pictures to pick on his birthday. Then was thinking about getting him something else. As it is alot of money to find. My mum now says its silly to go for.

I emailed them on their website through there contact page, the lady I have just spoken to has just said they are all in a meeting. The lady who emailed me back was viki, and she said when I ring back speak to her

Apparently I've won too.

Though I shall not be doing anything about it.

I think there are quite a few photgraphic places that do this - lure you in with cheap / free photography, but the photos are incredibly expensive to buy. It covers the cost of the 'free' photoshoot probably.

There's one I know of near here that does it all the time (friends / family have had their photos done there) - the photos are good, but that's just how they operate! Lure you in with the 'freebie' and once you see the lovely photos, you can't refuse, and they make their money!

Exactly!

ME TOO!!!!! i'm so excited! i'm going to use it as an engagement present for mr delicious!

ME TOO!!!!! i'm so excited! i'm going to use it as an engagement present for mr delicious!

WpipsS. Sounds like the same sort of thing these people do http://www.thisisventure.co.uk/.

I won as well!! worried its a bit of a scam cos so many have won. not sure if i'm gona do it yet or not

KJIN i don't think it's a scam but it's not 'free'. They make their money back on the prints and make it sound good by saying you've one a prize. There's a few companies that do this. I see them in shopping centres all the time.

I was so chuffed when I found out, but as you say why have so many runner-up prizes??

I thought OK, it will be a good idea. But when I rang and you have to pay £29 to book. Now this is a competition you have to pay and get it refunded on the day. Then when you go if you what any extra prints it is £79 for a 5 x 7 print which is a stupid price to pay for a really standard photo size.

I have been sat here thinking, I am not 100% about it. You will want more pictures because you will look stunning of course you will as they kind of pictures you always do. Its like the ones you see at the Trafford Centre.

But I have been thinking we have a friend who is a professional photographer doing children. I am sure she would take some of me if I wanted to give to h2b as a present at a fraction of the cost. I would even get the proofs.

Its a clever idea on their behalf but i dont think im gona do it. going to look around for a cheaper place and arrange it for nearer the time
