BRAISWICK PHOTOGRAPHIC COMPANY LIMITED Reviews 

Extortionate! 1 10×8 image and having to now pay separately for a completely average border £21. How do you justify this pricing Braiswick? Is there any consideration of families who've been affected by 13 years of austerity? I will lobby the school to engage a local provider who may well be a similar price but at least there will be some support to the community.

They are massively expensive…you wouldn’t mind paying the extortionate prices if the photos were any good, which unfortunately they’re not - harsh lighting, overly saturated colour etc etc.

Photo ok but sent back to school to order it enclosing my card details only dmfor it to ve returned about 6 weeks later with a letter stating incorrect card details stated/declined card payment even though I knew there were correct/there were no issues with my bank account. Not got the option to order through school again and now having to pay £4 postage. I wasn't even contacted to check the details even though my contact number was on the same form. The photos are expensive enough without having to add postage on!!

If your child has glasses don't even bother sending them for a photo!!. Every photograph I've had from this company has my child's head tilted right down looking over their glasses!

Unfortunately, we are forced to use this company for our school photos. Every so often they come out well, other times not so well. The prices they charge are just extortionate. £19 for a Digital only image, and multiply that if you have more than one child, and that's the cheapest option! As if sending your kids to school isn't expensive enough with everything you have to buy! This just adds salt to the wounds. I'd love the school to choose a more financially considerate company.

So my son's school used Brainswick for the first time this year. As some others have said, the pricing and packages are extortionate. We only wanted a 7x5 inch photo, but that wasn't an option in the packages Brainswick offered. For a single photo, they only offer 10x8 inches, which is huge at a cost of £17. If you want smaller sizes, you have to buy their other packages which includes lots of smaller sizes, but start at £20 and up. 7 by 5 inches is a standard size, but I'm guessing Brainswick really want to push the other more lucrative packages where they can make more profit on parents. The school asked Brainswick on my behalf if they could include the standard 7x5 inch size as a package and this was declined.

If you're in charge of a school I'd advise your to look at reviews for companies like Brainswick & seeing that 50%+ of the reviewers on trustpilot gave it the minimum 1 star, think "mmm, maybe i should avoid this company?"

Couldn't access the website to order apparently the site don't like my phone type... I asked for help to order my daughter's photos to be met on the phone with someone who didn't have time adamant under no circumstances will they take orders over the phone. apparently I need to access the site on a pc or laptop I have neither. Tried again to do it on my phone for it to have blocked me out. Rang the company back to be met with another very rude lady telling me to take a breath and calm down I was actually calm and breathing well. she was rude and insisted on telling she could access my daughter photos so I must have put the wrong passcode in. I know I didn't I checked and double checked and if I had I wouldn't have blocked myself out of the system any way upon explaining I just need help to order my photos she decided to tell me I needed to change my tone if I wanted help. I actually hate the patronising arrogant people who work for tis company they need to get off there high horses and remember they ain't special. They are there to do a job... Absolutely disgusting

Overpriced, a digital photo cost 19! bad quality.
we had this school photographers over years, disappointed every year. awful photographer and rushing student in school, instructed kids to have unnatural pose, they didn't assist kids even the collar was inside out!

They couldn't be bothered to get an attempt to get a nice photo. The child has such a forced smiled, they didn't bother to take more than one photo for parents to choose from. For the price I would expect a bit more to be honest.

Great and easy to use for school photos love that you now do a tailored pack really helps when ordering my twins photos

This has been the worst company for school pics I've had and they did both my childrens school . You don't get the mounts included like you do at other companies and you can't add multiple pictures to one basket to save on postage because they are at different school but it's the same company for God's sake !!! Expensive and not helpful hoping the school don't use this company again

Nice photos, taken and printed, but the pack sizes are unnecessarily big all I need is 3 pic!
But then there are 3 sets so that is 9 pic, so I need to order 9 at £19+ each or 8 x 3 @£23.
Lot of waste

The cost of the packs and prints is unnecessarily high. And the pictures don't come with mounts. The cost of the digital print is extortionate. I'm not sure why the nursery uses this company. They're a total rip off.

Awful first picture of my child starting school in reception class. As others have said feels like the photo isn’t even my child it’s awful. Very upset when all you want is a nice photo of your child’s first year within school.

Easy to order,but would be better if the package come with mount!

I had to pay for the mounts separately and to top it off the 4x5 photos u can’t even purchase a mount for absolutely disgusting for the price

Overpriced, profiteering. A captive audience so they can just charge what they want. There's no way photos should be this expensive.

Overpriced, half ass editing. Priced that way only cause they have exclusive deal with the school. Twice as expensive as going to go private photographer. Appaling

Extremely misleading information on the pack. £5 for a digital print jumps to £19 online. Hugely overpriced operation. Might open a spite store in protest.
