Step by step

How to book your
Christmas session

You book right here on the page, no phone calls and no waiting for a reply. Six steps, and the slot is yours the moment the deposit goes through.

📅

Step one

Pick your day and time

The calendar shows only the days that still have space, so you cannot land on one that is already gone. Every day carries its own price, written on the day itself, because November costs less than December and weekdays cost less than Saturdays and Sundays. Weekends go first every year. Only the slots still free appear, so choose the one that suits you and it is held for 10 minutes while you book, with the countdown on screen.

🎁

Step two

Choose your package

Mini, Bronze, Silver or Gold. Each one lists exactly what you get: how many edited photos, both Christmas sets, your private gallery, whole family welcome. The price shown is the one for the day you picked.

📝

Step three

Your details

Name, email and phone, so we know who we are holding the time for. Your email is where everything lands, the confirmation, your session guide and the reminder, so check it is typed correctly. Your phone gets a text as well, on the day you book and again the day before your session.

✨

Step four

Extras, questions and the terms

Add extras if you want any: extra edited photos, the full unedited set, prints and albums. Nothing here is final, you can add any of it later from your gallery once you have seen the photos. Then a few short questions, and you read and sign the booking terms on screen. No printing, no email back and forth.

💷

Step five

Pay the £49 deposit

By card, on the page. The moment it goes through, that slot disappears from the calendar and is yours. The £49 is not an extra cost, it comes off your final balance. The confirmation lands in your inbox with the studio address and parking, and your session guide comes with it. It covers what to wear, which colours work best on each set, and what to expect on the day. You also get the link on screen the second you finish paying.

📸

Step six

Your session, then your photos

You come to our Northampton studio for two real Christmas sets at a relaxed pace. Your private gallery is ready in 3 to 4 days, previews watermarked, and you have 15 days to choose your favourites. Edited photos arrive within 20 working days, and before the 25th of December for late bookings. The balance is paid at the end of your session, by cash or bank transfer.

Meet Mihai

The team behind the sets

I’m Mihai Gonguta. Every December, my partner and I, together with a small team, build the Christmas sets you see here from scratch, real hand made scenes, not printed backdrops, so your family walks into an actual Christmas moment.

I’ve spent over 10 years behind the camera and 7 years running my own studio, now based in Northampton, and Christmas is still my favourite time of year to shoot. With a 5.0 star rating across 116 Google reviews, I’d love to welcome you in for a 2026 session running throughout November and December.
