They restored a priceless picture of my grandfather who was killed in WWII. The copy was even better than the version that I dropped off. Everything was crisp and shiny and not blurred. I am very pleased.
My mother passed away. We needed photos of her for the Celebration of Life ceremony. I took some old and beat up photos and they were rejuvenated, even color updated. Came out great.
Very content with the service. They even expedited it for me.
My original wedding photo was badly damaged. But the repaired photo completed by Lakeside Photoworks was amazing! It was quick, my edits after proofing were implemented, and the final product was better than I had hoped possible! Service was professional and fast. Great experience!
Lakeside Photoworks did an excellent job on the restoration of a photo of my parents taken over 83 years ago.
