Very accommodating. They were closed for remodeling, but a very nice lady let us in, helped us download pictures from our phones, and had them printed in less than a half hour. Truly remarkable service in this day and age. We've had nothing but pleasant service on other occasions,too. A great business with wonderful employees! read more

I found the same camera in Maryland brand new for half the price. They were not really customer friendly.

They were very accommodating in taking a quality headshot photo for a business card. I was impressed by how straightforward and honest they are! The shop also has some unique picture frames for future gifts. I will be back! read more

I took a negitive in to get a print made and was told it would be $3.99. When I picked it up the charge as $10.00. I was never told there was a minimum charge and there was nothing they could do about the excessive fee. If I had known there was a minimum I would have had more prints made. I wasn't really satisfied with the print either. It was washed out and didn't look like my original. I should have gone to Walgreens and printed it myself. I had been there several times before for other photo equipment but thought this was NOT acceptable. I won't be back. read more

I'm a newbie when it comes to owning a nicer camera with interchangeable lenses. I stopped by to pick up a camera bag, some lens caps, and pick up a few pictures I had sent in via their app for development (the iPhone app is nice!). The staff was very friendly and patient. They special ordered a couple lens caps that were not in stock and they arrived 2-3 business days later. I'll definitely be back!! read more

I brought in a family picture that was old and faded. The sales associate was very helpful, took all the pertinent information and within a week I had a colorful, vibrant picture that took my memory back 50 years. I loved their work and I considered the cost reasonable. Now I'm looking for more reasons to visit their store! read more

So happy I found this store! Wonderful, friendly service and very knowledgeable about my Nikon d5600 camera. Although I have owned the camera several years, I primarily used it as a point and shoot. Cindy spent time trying to determine what the problem is and she showed me several issues. I am looking forward to the private lesson scheduled with her on Thursday. read more

I found two old disposable cameras and brought them here to get developed. Not only were the prints well done but they were completed in an hour! This is one of the only places that develops film still on site and in one day or less. The people that work there are knowledgeable and friendly. And they have a huge variety of photography related merchandise- cards, frames, prints/art, accessories to hang photos, and professional materials as well. They are reasonably priced and I was in and out within 10 minutes. read more

Very pleasant and knowledgable staff. I have shopped here for years and always enjoyed the fact that the staff will never make you feel rushed and they always have solutions to my problems. Wonderful people. read more

Having gotten into photography by a friend a couple years go during collage. I was happy to discover that Warrenton had a camera store, which meant I didn't have to drive all the way to Reston or Fall Church find a small camera business. I walked in today with a roll of film hoping that is was a roll I lost a few years back. I drop it off with the older lady and was going to be charged 15 dollars for developing the film and scanning them. I was expecting a little bit cheaper but again, the short drives beats the long trip to Reston/Falls Church. I came back a few hours later to pick up, excited to see if it was the pictures I've lost. Since they were to be scanned on my flash drive I wouldn't be able too see them till I got home, but I figured that going to the film would confirm that it was the lost roll. I took out the first strip of film, nothing, then the second, third, fourth till I got to the last one and saw that there was only 2 pictures that have light leaks in it. the rest of the film was blank. I went back in to talk to the dark blonde lady that was the one that garb my stuff for me and explained that only 2 pictures were good on the film and that the rest were blank and that I felt ripped off having paid 15 dollars for just two scans. I was hoping that maybe that they mixed up the film strips and that all the picture were on the flash drive. If so, good. All I needed was the pictures, the film being lost wasn't a big deal. Nope, the older lady came in the explain to me that there was a flat charge for scanning. I was amazed that she did nothing on both our behalves. Now I not a film professional, but I've develop my own film before. I'm done the whole "opening the roll and placing it in the container" "i've mixed the chemicals and set the timer" I've done it. Now if all of this is done by machine, then I would consider letting it slide. but if it's done by hand, then person in charge of scanning the pictures should have noticed that pretty much all the film was blank and would have brought attention to it, since you have to dry the film after the chemical bath and before using it. I know it's work to develop film. I would have had no problem paying for that and the 2 scans. which on their website said cost $2.75 for developing plus a dollar for negative scan. Now if most or even half of the film had picture I wouldn't have minded to pay 15 dollars but to still get charged 15 dollars for just 2 scans is stupid. regard less if a person or machine does the job. I was offer no discount or anything for this, just told that there was a flat charge and nothing more. I've come here before for film prints and never have a problem before. This is not how I should have left out of here. I doubt I'll return. The older lady white curly hair seen to not care. as for the dark blonde lady, thank you for taking time to understand how I felt and try to do something about it. read more

This is nothing less than a fantastic camera store. I bought my Nikon there, and some accessories for it there. Cindy is fantastic for sure, and if you should get someone who is not as knowledgeable, they will turn you over to Cindy in a moment. They also sell used equipment, which will save you tons of money. Camera lenses don't wear out! With a lot of brick and mortar stores going out of business, this one is a gem and deserves your support. read more

The store name is McClanahan's Camera... Robert "Pooch" is the legend/proprietor. This is a top-notch serious photography store at which I have spent more money than I'll ever admit. Its not huge so they often have to order special items, but they have a good foundation of cameras and accessories. Best of all they deliver attention and caring with your purchase. They will train you to use the equipment you purchase, and take the time to discuss things with you after the sale. This is the opposite of a big box store... its quality. read more

I took in a picture I painted to be copied onto a CD plus reprinted onto a canvas. It did not turn out right. At first I was a bit shocked and the ladies at the desk were in a hurry to ring me up. I sat in the car worrying about what to do. As this store is over an hour away from where I live. I went back a week later to tell them I could not live with the print. They were very rude and angry. They said that because it was a painting the light change the print. Yet they did not tell me that when I brought it in. PLUS they had several copies of the print they pulled out. Why did they have those a week later? Saying if I was not happy I could replace or buy those other ones.(AT the FULL price). Still in shock I kept telling them as this was the first time I did this with a painting I was trying to learn. So they said colors are not true and to bad. I WOULD NEVER GO THERE AGAIN..If they shred my prints like they say they do why did they still have them? and if they had sold them to me at cost and told me they were sorry about the miss understanding i would have been ok learning curve and not spent all this time telling everyone how bad they were. read more

Wonderful, helpful family business. Signed my Dad up for camera class with Cindy, who is extremely knowledgeable. He loved the class.

I was in town visiting relatives, took a lot of photos and needed prints so I went to this store and the people that worked out front were very nice and helpful. After that I come back later to get my prints only to find out they got my order mixed with someone elses so I confronted them about this, they apologized and redid my order and when I came back home to show the photos to my family I realize the quality of the prints might as well be the same as the walmart photo center's prints. Nice people but not nice service. read more

This is one of the best photographic shops in the country representing Nikon, Cannon and other manufacturers. Many in the Metro and Warrenton area have no idea of the value they receive in service from working with Mclanahan's. They service the professional as well as the beginner with exceptional experience and advice. They offer classes and guidance as well as one on one sessions for those who wish more help with their photographic passions. Expect an honest and direct answer to your questions and needs. The whole Mcclanahan family and their staff are dedicated to going the extra mile. Offering almost every service related to photography, this shop will exceed your expectations. Cindy Mcclanahan has a wealth of knowledge that will help you find the right camera or lens for your needs and her father, Robert, mother, Bridget and the team they have in place consider quality and customer service above all else. Personally, my favorite salesperson is Jesse who always greets everyone who walks in the store. As long as they have a friendly attitude and a passion for the photographic arts. Moreover, this is a company, that over the years has given so much back to the community in services and philanthropic action that I would like to give recognition here publicly. Robert McClanahan is a good Marine and I thank him and Bridgett for their service and for building a business that I personally appreciate and rely. read more
