You need a small fortunate to print your photos!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went to verve portraits because we got an offer for $1200 from our Porsche Dealers in WA as a gift. The photo session took more than an hour and when we went for session to buy the photos. We were so disappointed because we needed a small fortune of at least $5,000 to order 1 set (3 medium size) photograph in arctic finish and canvas cost $3000 minimum. It was not value for money. The worst part of the deal is we can buy 10 digital photos for $2700 which can only be printed 5*7 only. I thought it was ridiculous as we are paying closer to $3000 for the 10 digital photos but we don’t have the right to print our photos in a size we want. It seems like we have to pay them and they will control what we do with our photos!!!

BEWARE OF THE COST OF PRINTING AND RIDICULOUS DEALS!!!!!

Hi sarap788,

Many thanks for taking the time to review your Verve Experience. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the cost of the artwork, however I was surprised to read that you quoted our canvas prices as starting from $3,000. That is simply not the case, the starting price is less than a third of that and would have cost you absolutely nothing with the gift you received from Porsche. I would like to reassure you that our prices are competitive within the industry and a reflection of the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to achieve the final result (retouch artists, designers, editors, artwork handmade in Australia...), as well of course as the five-star service you enjoyed in the studio.

With regards to the digital files, they are designed to be for online use without losing quality, or to be printed 5x7 or 6x8. The majority of what we produce is intended to be fully finished pieces of art for your wall and as such the size of the digital files is limited to protect what it is that we do. Most people who want to print their digital files larger than the format we offer are intending to produce the artwork themselves, but I hope you can understand that that is the service that we offer and the core of our business.

I hope I've answered your grievances and you are satisfied with my explanation however if you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Best regards,
Samantha

It was amazing experience with Cino ! He is so gentle and so much passionate !
Our designer is Shannon was a fantastic ,
Everything was well communicated, They were extremely responsible with regards to this.
Designer ` Shannon` was professional, explaining and describing results of images and offering opinion with image choice and retouching.
She was also very personable, and it was a lovely ending to a lovely day.

Notice:
~Yes, the artworks weren't cheap, but I wouldn't expect a professional service to be cheap. if you're not happy with photo's, you don't actually have to buy them. No Pressure !

I maybe spent a bit more but that was totally my own decision and all images were fantastic.

Its worth it..

Thank you Verve Portraits ( Cino & Shannon )

Approximate cost: $4000

Our poor photographer Lou had to deal with a baby who should have been asleep and a toddler who didn't want to smile...and she handled it with professionalism, understanding and by making us laugh and be at ease. The resulting photos were simply beautiful and made me tear up when watching the presentation! You would never have known the challenges Lou faced during the shoot! Thanks Verve and Lou

Approximate cost: $1000

Punctual staff. Perfect communication from start to finish. Nice and gentle team and amazing photographer "Cino" (He really made an effort to make this silly faces to make my baby smile)

We looked amazing and felt relaxed for the shoot. Cino was extremely positive and encouraging throughout the whole shoot..He was advising me on how to pose/stand/look..
I had so much fun.
Now,when I looking to photos up on my walls it brings back fond memories
Only one regret is that I did not do this before because I am now over 40

Approximate cost: $2200

Very enjoyable experience during the session itself with a very friendly Cino. The photos we got to see were good and time flew by very quickly during the design appointment, however we would've liked to see more of our photos.

We ended up not purchasing any of the products as Verve Portraits' products just simply aren't in our price range (which we weren't aware of beforehand)

If you are in the market for the Verve caliber of product, certainly go along and have a very enjoyable time.

Hi Anonymous, many thanks for your feedback. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed both your photography session and your design! We usually show 35-40 images, often more, in the design session depending on the type of shoot. Is there something in particular you would have liked to see more of? It is likely we still have the images on file and can have another look through them if you would like. If so, please get in touch, my email is [email protected]

Before going into our session at Verve, as a family we were anxious for what to expect. Our photographer Luca Prodigo directed us enthusiastically, he helped us to be ourselves during the session and have fun with our photos. His directions for our images were well constructed and beautiful. We are very thankful for his great work.

Didn't expect to have loads of fun getting our family portraits done! Our photographer Luca Prodigo, manage to get all of us looking good and smiling without telling us to 'smile'. He captured our family beautifully. We were all blown away when we saw the photos. They were all awesome! Well done, Luca Prodigo!
