Testimonials

Hello Peter. Thought I’d just let you know that my father really loved and was really impressed by the montage print. It brought back lots of memories for him and he also loved seeing all the old photos on the TV via the CD. Thanks from all of us for your creativity, care and attention in putting it all together. We’ll recommend you to anyone else we come across who may want something similar (or different!) by way of photo work.
– Best wishes Angela, Maria and Peter

Hi Peter. I just wanted to write and thank you for the beautiful job you did on the photos of my grandparents. When my uncle saw them he actually got teary- they were just the way he remembered them hanging on the wall at my grandparents when he was a little boy. Thank you so much for helping to create such a beautiful 50th birthday present and for restoring our family pictures with so much love and attention to detail. I cannot recommend you highly enough to other people. I know we will all enjoy the beautiful photos for many years to come. Thank you again.
– Best wishes KS.
