Over- priced
Over- priced, rubbish photos honestly if you ask.me. then they force you to pay an extra £5 for delivery if you can't get it delivered to school
.
Ridiculous! This has been.going on.for too long now
We've spent an absolute fortune on these useless photos with stupid sizes that you can never understand as we have four kids so you can understand my beef!
They just prey on.the sentiments of parents that's why we still buy the photos
Still don't understand why no better company has come up by now!
Was stuck with them.for my graduation also
Nothing to like about them!

Hello, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to read that you are deeply unhappy with our company. There is absolutely no obligation to buy our photographs - we offer a free photographic service and if you subsequently decide to buy the photographs you are made fully aware of the different pack options and prices prior to purchase. If you are unhappy with any of the photographs you have received, you are entitled to return them to us for a full refund within 30 days.
The delivery charge only applies if the order is placed outside of the free 14-day back to school delivery option, if the school has requested for direct ordering only or the customer opts for home delivery. It also is not just postage and packaging, but also individual handling and postal insurance, so if the order is damaged or lost in transit, we replace it free of charge.
Kind regards, Olly

Hello, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to learn that you find our pricing to be expensive. Our pricing reflects more than just the print or digital file, it covers professional photographers, high-quality equipment, post-production work, and a secure online ordering system. For larger group photos, the cost also incorporates specialist staging, organisation, and setup to ensure every child is captured clearly and safely.
However, I shall certainly pass your feedback onto our Marketing department who can assess your comments further.
Kind regards, Olly.
I had a very disappointing experience…
I had a very disappointing experience with Tempest Photography’s ordering system. I placed an order for my child’s school photos two days ago and did not receive any email confirmation whatsoever.
There is no clear way to track the order or even verify that it has been processed, which is extremely frustrating. For an online ordering system, basic communication like confirmation emails and order tracking should be standard.

My daughter was forced by the photographer to sit next to the girl who bullied her! Photographer said that even if you don't like someone, you can't change the place. She didn't say anything but obviously we won't be buying the picture that should have been a nice memory from year 6.

Hello Karla, thank you for your review.
I am deeply sorry to learn that your child had an uncomfortable experience when having their Year 6 group photograph taken. No child should ever feel uncomfortable with having their photograph taken nor should they stand/sit next to one of their bullies, which is also something that we do not condone.
Whilst the photographer may not have been aware of any issues amongst the pupils, and primarily place the pupils in height order for the group photographer, please could you send us an email to customerservice@htempest.co.uk with the reference number for the image, school's name and any more information relating to this issue so we can raise and investigate this further?
Kind regards, Olly.
Uninspiring and expensive
These guys have monopoly on school photography, and they are so poor. Prices are high, ideas and gifts are not great, and there are few updates from year to year. Minimum effort is made to make sure they get a good capture. Some of the best merchandise is often out of stock.

Over priced and low quality
Over priced, low quality, useless team unable to help with anything.
Why do any schools use this company that ruins it for parents.
Never had a good experience.
The last experience was trying to buy 2 class photos so can have one at each house to be told that you are not able to buy the double photo pack with the one photo, you can only buy a single photo.
Just a scummy company, avoid at all costs and please email your schools telling them to avoid using this company

Hello Troy, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to read that you are deeply unhappy with our company. Unfortunately, the pack that you have described is our Double Group Photo Pack and this particular pack has been designed to be two different group references as this is similar to the two/three pose packs in our individual catalogue.
However, I shall forward your comments onto the relevant department who can assess your comments further.

Very poor quality - contrast off (white shirts are all grey)
School photo. Children wearing white shirts and photo was so badly developed that in the photo all the children's shirts were grey. Overall photo had poor contrast making the photo clarity very poor.
I contacted them asking them to alter contrast, but was told; ''had passed Quality Control and deemed as acceptable and is within our parameters''.
and to return the photograph - how helpful.

You previously contacted us on the 27th November 2025 with regards to your digital order and I replied on the 28th November 2025 with details on how to download your image.
I have since responded to your second email, where you threaten legal action for not receiving a digital image which is not to be sent to you but downloaded through our website www.tempest-download.co.uk, on the 14th March again with the digital image.
I do hope you receive my replies this time around and that you have now received what you have ordered.

upgraded to an average score
Edited - extra star given for sorting out my issue after following up with Olly. I have received some mounts and an assurance that that the issues I raised wil be looked at. I do feel that it shouldn't have taken a critical review to prompt that but I've got the outcome I wanted.
Original review:
My eldest son had his photo taken in September. We always order the same pack, 1 medium, 2 desk prints with cardboard strut mounts. Which we did, no problem.
My youngest son, same school, had his photo taken in September also but we were unable to buy it as the photographer was coming back to take a year group photo, which we have no interest in. This was finally taken in January and now both the individual and group photos are available to purchase. However, the pack we get every year for both kids is not available as kids who have both individual and group photos taken have a different set of options. We can get similar (1 medium, 2 desk, 8 wallet prints) but without the mounts and no option to purchase the mounts separately. If we want the usual pack with mounts it's classed as a custom order, with prices to reflect that and an additional £5 delivery as they can't then be collected from school. Customer service not much help. Basically a "them's your choices" response.
Not cheap, average quality, poor service and somewhat inflexible on some fairly bizarre rules they've imposed on what you're allowed to buy.
They make themselves hard to recommend.

Hi Nick, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to learn that you have received a disappointing experience this year. Some schools opt to have the combination product instead as it works in favour for parents to buy both the individual as well as the group together as it is more cost-effective. We do not provide mounts for the group photographs and therefore the option to have mounts included in your order would not be available.
However, if you would like to send an email to customerservice@htempest.co.uk and mark it for my attention, i can look into this issue further for you. Please include your image reference and any confirmation details for your order.
Kind regards, Olly.

We have stopped ordering school photos
We have stopped ordering school photos, to the disappointment of grandparents, but the quality is so poor and the prices so extortionate that we simply refuse to allow ourselves to continue to be exploited in this manner. Schools take note.
Instead at the start of each new school year we take photos of the kids just prior to setting off for school. Better quality, zero cost. Lovely.

Fantastic photographer!
The photographer was fantastic with my children. We had a sibling photo taken before school, and she was very patient and friendly, taking the time to get a good shot of both of them together. My child's single portrait was lovely too. I ordered the digital images, and they were emailed to me within a couple of days.

The Tempest photographer that came to our primary school was great. They really knew how to work with children as the photos of my boys together are great. Patience of a saint springs to mind. Great choice of prodcuts too in the past I have bought the big sets to share with family this time I opted for 3 pics instead to frame for Christmas presents
