Lovely place
- booked a photo shoot
Lovely space, clean and easy to get right into the photoshoot. Would happily book again!
- booked a video shoot
The space was great and access was easy. We were shooting video and there was loud music coming from next door so audio was a challenge.
- booked a photo shoot
Amazing space for an office photoshoot - great props, plants and lighting. Jana was a great communicator. All in all, it was a seamless experience. Highly recommend booking this space!
- booked an event
Absolutely loved this studio! It's spacious, beautiful and was super easy to access. It also has everything you need! Will definitely be using it again :)
- booked an indoor photoshoot
I needed a large space and this was perfect. Lots of furniture options to use or just make use of the empty space. Super easy to access the space as well and host is very responsive. Minimal fuss! Exactly what I needed.
- booked a photo shoot
The space was amazing to shoot in. So much natural light, and with the sun changing through different parts the windows I was able to get a lot of different lighting looks. Loved all the plants too!
- booked a filming
Great location with lots of flexibility, looked just like the photos. Jana was responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend this spot!
- booked an indoor photoshoot
The price for this studio space is great, especially in comparison to other venues within the area. The plants and wide variety of furniture adds lots of depth to the loft. The host took a while to get back to me but eventually did regarding the specific information on how to access the loft, so make sure to contact her as soon as you place the booking as it was not provided in the welcome email. Another bonus is the extensive lighting system - don't count on the sun to come out given that this is Vancouver we're talking about. From headshots to filming/fashion + beauty shoots, I'd recommend this place.
