What customers say
I needed 145 physical photographs scanned to digital for an upcoming wake service. Everywhere I went said it would take 3 days minimum and they would have to be hand-placed. PhotoTek was the only place in Lake Charles with a self-loading scanner and they were able to scan them to a DVD for me in AN HOUR.
Really nice staff who are very knowledgeable. Ordered photos around 3:00pm and they were ready by 5:00pm the same day. Excellent quality.
Great place to do business! They really know photography and cameras and they're happy to give advice. Highly Recommended!
The photos they print are so clear and so crisp. They get the colors correct too - no off shades. A place where they are slightly lacking is their holiday card prints on cardstock. My hair is Auburn and it printed fire truck red. A true disappointment, but printing last minute - what can ya do.
