Stan Seaton Photography - Darlington

Bethany Thackray

I can’t recommend Stan and Jane highly enough. We had an autumn shoot in South Park with my two sons - aged 6 and 3. I was concerned my youngest might be shy and take time to warm to them, but Stan was fantastic from the start and instantly made them feel at ease by playing games and making them laugh. The photos are just incredible and they’ve managed to completely encapsulate both my son’s spirits. We will definitely be using them again as the kids grow up.

We booked a photoshoot for my 3 year old and 3 week old. Stan was amazing, especially with my toddler who was very shy and nervous at first. Stan went above and beyond to win my toddler over and got some beautiful photos. Stan made us feel completely at ease and relaxed throughout!
Jane was so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, even when we had to rearrange a couple of times! The photos were so lovely we struggled to choose, Jane helped us to narrow them down. A brilliant experience and I would recommend to anyone!

We have been to Stan and Jane every year since our daughter was a newborn and we will be going for many many years to come! The photoshoots are always fun and you are made to feel so at ease and able to actually enjoy your time as a family with both Stan and Jane. They are both so warm and welcoming and just have the best rapport with our 2 year old, she even left the studio asking ‘where’s my Stan and Jane gone’. The best part about the whole experience is getting to visit again to see the images they have captured which are always beautiful and it never ceases to amaze me at how many they manage to capture, even when you think there can’t have been that many photo opportunities! Thank you again Stan and Jane, we can’t wait to visit again soon!

I knew Stan Seaton Photography were good but not this good! Stan has managed to capture a truly wonderful photo of my son, it's so good I can't stop looking at it.

It took a while to convince a shy 9-year-old to model for a photo shoot, however after a little persuasion he agreed. As soon as he walked into the studio Stan had him laughing and the shyness disappeared. My son left feeling super confident (something he completely lacks) and he is so pleased with the end result.

Thank you so much to Stan and Jane for helping to encourage him to do it and for putting him at ease, you have truly made the experience very enjoyable and I am confident we will be back to capture some more in the future, they will be perfect to look back on when he's older.

If you are wanting photos of your family but worry your child will be too shy, honestly give Stan Seaton a try, he makes it so much fun for them that they won't want to leave!

Keep up the good work guys, I can't wait to see what you can do next time!

We booked our son in with Stan to update his Casting portfolio headshots. I must say from the initial booking over the phone with Jane we were provided top class service. Jane was so accommodating and professional. The service that would be provided and what was available to us was made very clear. On the day of the shoot my 15yr old son was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Stan gave great guidance to help achieve that perfect headshot. The finish product was so good we found it so difficult to choose the required number, so we even purchased extra! We will definitely use Stan again. I highly recommend.

Finding the words to express how incredible Stan and Jane are is really quite difficult! When we first booked them for our wedding, we already knew how talented they were as they actually photographed our friends wedding! But right from meeting them we felt so comfortable and they made it all feel so natural (as my husband and I aren’t big on PDA and soppy stuff!) we adored our pre wedding pictures. We had to juggle a few dates due to covid, but Stan and Jane were so accommodating and made it all completely stress free. On our wedding day they felt like part of the family and just mingled with the guests, our pictures are absolutely stunning and amazing quality. They both captured the day perfectly and we’re so grateful to be able to re live our magical day through these beautiful images. Thank you both so much x

Stan and Jane were very welcoming and made us all feel at ease. Stan was very patient with my 10 day old baby boy and 2.5 year old little girl and expertly directed us to get the best shots possible. The photos that Stan took are incredible, especially the photos of our little girl. Stan has really captured our little girl’s personality - her cheekiness and beauty shines through in every photo. We will cherish the photos Stan has taken forever. Thank you so much for everything!

We had our twins photo shoot only 6 days after they were born and it wasn’t stressful at all - the studio is comfortable and warm and stan and Jane were really welcoming .
We can’t wait to go back when the twins are older for another photo shoot !
Thank you again - photos to treasure for life
