Reviews and Testimonials from Our Clients – 2010

Here are some of the emails that we received from clients in 2010. They were very happy with our photo retouching and repair of damaged old photographs, and you will be too!

DISCLAIMER: These testimonials are generally representative of what our clients write, although many or most clients don’t comment either positively or negatively. Just a handful of clients have sent complaints. We did not provide any discounts, freebies or other incentives to the people who sent the praise shown below, and we do not request testimonials from our clients…but we are happy to receive them!

From a photo-restoration client: Wow, what a wonderful job !!! I am greatly pleased, I think that you should use this restore and combine as part of your promotion for the services you provide. They are my grandparents…married in May 1910 in Edmonton Alberta, Canada 100 years ago. My sister has that wedding dress. She and my wife have been photographed wearing it. If you want to use my e-mail I would be pleased to confirm your excellent work. [submitted by Wayne Brown, wayne@a1contours.com]
