What customers say
I asked Rick to make copies of treasured old photos taken in the 40's. The reproductions turned out better than the originals. He also took an old VHS tape and made dvds that were great! I'll definitely be back so he can work his "magic" on some other old films and photos that I found recently. Rick's work is the best!
I've been going to Rick's to get my film developed for years and he is the absolute BEST!!! My film quality is always incredible, whether I get prints or digital copies, and I always receive them in a very timely matter. He's also a very sweet guy with great customer service, 10/10 recommend! :)
Rick is so awesome and super friendly! I’ve been getting my film pictures developed here for about a year & wont go anywhere else for them now. He definitely is very good at his job and always makes sure the colors of the prints are vibrant, he even threw in a big free print for me.
If you're looking for the best prints in the area, Rick is your man. This was my first time printing any of my work and it's safe to say, the quality of Rick's work exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be returning for all my future prints, including film development and scans.
