What customers say
First of all the multiple drop off and pick up locations are super convenient around Richmond. But even better, James did an amazing job developing my photos! He even went the extra mile to make sure the exposure looked great for photos of my friend’s engagement.
James is super thorough, easy to work with, flexible and highly communicative. In richmond there is only one other place I trust developing my film and with how seamless James made this process I I think he just moved to the top spot!
Dropped off 3 cameras to be developed in a crunch of a time...James not only developed my images in a much better quality than cvs, walgreens, etc... but did it insanely fast and was communicative the whole time.
With a lack of good photo labs in RVA, Richmond film services has filled a void and offers quality developing with an affordable rate and fast turn around. I cant speak on the scanning as I do that myself but I can imagine they are excellent as well. I will definitely be a returning customer.
