Needed a last minute passport photo & this was the nearest photo shop. They didn't need a reservation and we were out within 30 mins with new pictures. This was for an infant so they made sure they took enough pics to finally get a good click. The entire store gave nostalgic vibes, old photo reels, so many cameras! Bit expensive than going to any pharmacy or other locations but absolutely worth it for the experience and time! read more

I developed a few dozens of rolls at Omega Photo so far, mostly medium format black and white but also others. I always also got prints and mostly DSLR scans. I was happy with all of these, and the prices are reasonable, even when I can do most of this at home (considering time). I like the staff, they know a lot about this stuff, I even had the opportunity to see some of their equipment. Color rolls get processed relatively fast (few days), but for BW rolls, it's good to understand that they bring these to the lab on Friday and then get them back next Friday. So if you bring a roll on Saturday, its a long time before this gets back. Standard scans are typically ready the next day after development, DSLR scans typically take a couple of extra days. This works fine for me, since I have one or more rolls ready every week, keeping the visits fruitful. For DSLR scans, I recommend tiff format. read more

I've been getting my film developed at Omega Photo for about a year now, and they've been consistently great. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help with any questions. Their prices are pretty reasonable too. Overall, a reliable spot for film developing, highly recommend! read more

Omega Photo - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

See all

The service - especially in communication and fairness. I left my camera there in the heap to sell. It was a very good Sony Mark 10 IV. They never told me until I went back to reclaim and found that it was gone with no receipt available for what it was sold for. Never leave your camera. You may never see it again or any money or a receipt for what it sold for. Very unhappy customer. I Wii not return. read more

Excellent service to say the least. Great folks who go out of their way to assist you fully and always with a smile.

This shop is a-maz-ing. We needed passport photos for our son with only three hours until out appointment at the Passport office in Seattle. Walgreens services were adequate for my husband and myself. We could keep our eyes open while looking at the camera--the camera had a flash. The employee kindly suggested Omega Photo. She said they were great with kids. The employee let out son cut out the print by pressing down on the lever. She walked my husband to the back room so he could use the restroom. They ARE great with kids. The camera did not use a flash. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Probably a good camera shop but their ability to enhance old photos is lacking. I brought in an admittedly old (65 years) framed, washed out color photo and asked they provide a b&w enhancement. The first effort was hugely disappointing, in large part because they didn't bother to remove it from the frame and shot it through frosted glass. Not only was it a poor effort but not taking the time to remove the old photo from behind the glass resulted in the top of heads being chopped off. I find this inexcusable. They agreed to redo it but the result was only marginally better. I was able to improve it significantly by taking a photo of their effort WITH MY IPHONE and then simply used Apple's editing tools to improve it. I find it surprising they didn't use what I assume are considerably better tools at their disposal. Next time I'll look elsewhere. read more

I've had film developed here twice and am currently waiting on a third roll. The people who work here are helpful and friendly enough, and the developed film comes out nicely, but the lead time to getting finished scans on my film has been an issue. The first time I got it in a week (by paying extra to expedite), the second took about 3 weeks, and while waiting on my third roll, it has now been over 4 weeks since I dropped my film off. I was told that it would take 2-3 weeks, and when it got to that time threshold, I called the studio. At the 3 week mark, I was told I would get it the week after. Yesterday, I called and they told me I would have my scans by today at the latest -- but still nothing after COB. I understand the issues they've been having with equipment and staffing so I have been patient. I can take a 2-3 week time but it's taking an unacceptable amount of time. The process of getting my current roll of film has been incredibly frustrating and I cannot in good conscience suggest coming here to have your film developed -- much more worthwhile to head to Panda Lab in Queen Anne or Moon Photo near Ballard. read more

Been here twice - both times had poor experience with the older gentleman behind the counter, who was unable to multitask, and responded very coldly/uninterested. Not sure if I just got him on two bad days. I had prepaid for the prints and was just doing a simple pickup. The quality of the prints was just ok/averages Wish Costco still had their digital photo service available... read more

Stuffs were very friendly. While I was waiting for my photo, the manager saw me checking on cameras and he patiently explained me the difference and answered all my questions. Will definitely come back and recommend to you! read more

I went here today to help my friend out with her camera gear. We were greeted promptly by Steve, who was with another customer, but told us that someone will be out to help us shortly. Soon after, Steve himself came to assist us with what my friend needed. He was friendly and provided us with a lot of info on the lenses and adapters he had available for my friend's camera. When he checked out her camera, he noticed a speck of lint on the sensor and offered to clean it off for her. He was so very helpful in answering all of our questions and even going above and beyond with helping my friend find the right lens she was looking for. I recommend going here for top of the line help with camera gear. Steve was so helpful to us and we appreciated all of his help. read more

I always come here to get my film developed and to purchase new rolls. Fast turn around time for digital development too! Staff and owners are super helpful, even when they're busy. read more

Do not come here to take passport photos! It took 45 minutes, yes you read that correctly, 45 minutes for them to take one set of passport photos for me. There wasn't a line and it wasn't because it was busy, it was incompetent staff. After taking my photo, it took them 20 minutes to find the photo, only then to be told the photo was gone and needed to be retaken. After taking my photo the second time, it took another 20 mins for them to figure out how to print it out, and another 3 attempts to trim it to the correct size. Customer service was horrible, I will never return. read more

I loved this shop. I'd used their services a bunch and got a ton of digital photos from them as well as a few physical.

I come here to get my film developed and have always been satisfied! Turnaround is normally pretty quick but even when it's busy, they're very clear about the expected turnaround. read more

I needed to get my passport renewed so I first headed off to Target to see if they offered passport photos. The answer would be NO. Recalling that Omega did offer this service, I headed on over. The store is a place for all things photo related. There are cameras, camera bags, picture frames and photo paper to name a few items. Then there was some surprises like chocolates and handbags. In addition they provide photo processing services. Getting back to the passport photos. They have a section in the back to do this. The process is quick. It probably took about 10 minutes total. And it was nice it came in a clean picture holder that I could just hand to the passport agency. It was a little over $13 total for two pictures, but I was pleased with the results. If you need to take passport photos, I would suggest going to Omega. read more

This review is for international passport photos: Saw that Omega Photo was one of the few preferred photographer for Australian passport photos on the Australian government site, so I got my passport photos there. Two photos were about $35. The staff were VERY nice and quick to service. However, when doing my in-person passport interview, which I had to fly out of state for, the officials said that the photos were cut incorrectly and that the printing had errors in it (micro ink lines running through the image, green splotches, etc.). The Consulate officials said that my application would be rejected because of the not-to-standard images and that I needed to get new print outs ASAP. I called Omega/got sent to voicemail from the interview to ask for the jpg file to try to get it printed locally somewhere else. Omega called back 6 hours later and did offer to rephotograph and reprint the photo, but that would require flying to WA. Omega offered to send the jpg file if I emailed them a picture of the photo to match my face to their files, but the Consulate had already discarded the "invalid" photos (and I had already left the Consulate). This left me scrambling last minute to get different photos during my interview so I wouldn't have to redo my application, interview, and travel to the Consulate. Separate note, Omega Photo doesn't show you the photo until it is printed, so you may not actually like the photo. I didn't care at the time because I just needed the photos, but that just adds salt to the wound--paying for photos that I didn't like that didn't work with my passport application. Again, the staff were cheerful and incredibly nice. The shop looks cool for used cameras and tools. But they did not fulfill their service and I could have lost the time, money, and effort put into the application, travel, accommodation, and work and appointment scheduling. read more

Great business. Great customer service. Great prices. Very cool staff. Would highly recommend any one would like to get a passport picture renewed to check out this store read more

I've been coming to Omega Photo to get my film rolls developed since last year but this last time would have to be my last. Recently, I brought in three rolls to be developed and scanned, and it took over 14 days without any communication to receive two of them. I also was missing one more and they said that it would take an extra week or two... I'm sorry, but why wasn't this communicated up front or at least called the customer if they can wait that long? Highly disappointed in the customer service and lack of communication. read more

I have never had a problem with this camera store until recently. The employees, specifically the older ones, have been incredibly disrespectful and have no manners and customer service. If you want customers to come back consistently, don't make it a horrible experience and judge their development options, or get mad when you cannot understand their requests. Taking my business elsewhere, and if you had a sense of decency, I don't recommend this place to get your film developed, they are offensive towards anyone breathing. read more

Really enjoyed the experience here. I was able to get my film developed and also found two older film cameras working in great condition. Steve was a wealth of knowledge and super patient with all of our questions. Will definitely be coming back! read more

The team at Omega Photo is fantastic! The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and great with kids. My family came in for visa photos and we had our photos and delightful experience, all in less than 30 minutes. Definitely recommend Omega Photo for visa photos. read more

They did an awesome job with our toddler's passport photo! They were patient, attentive, and quick to capture the moment while our toddler was moving a lot and feeling uneasy about the lights. Super quick in getting the photos and the price is very reasonable. Highly recommend! read more

I needed a Canadian Passport photo and had gone to many places that could only take US passport photos. These guys have it totally dialed in - great service and they know what they are doing, so rare these days. read more

- Fast service for passport photo! - I went there for the first time last week, and I waited for the last customer to leave for like 30 seconds. I explained to a lady that I want two passport photos (2 inch x 2 inch), so she told me to sit at the corner of the store where the lights and chair were already stetted up. Then she took a picture of me, asked me if I liked it or not, then processed it. 2 passport photos was like $13.13 after tax, and it took less than 5 minutes. I'd come here again since apparently Fedex is more expensive than this place when I called to ask. But seriously, passport photos are just so ugly in nature that I hope I will never have to take one again.... but we all know that I will have to eventually - - read more

The Help they gave me at Omega Photo was excellent. The man who helped me was very knowledgeable.

For anything but the most basic transaction, these guys sub-contract out to Glazers and add a big mark-up. Do yourself a favor and just go to the source. You will get whatever you need done in half the time and save yourself 1/3rd the cost read more

Professionals at taking passport photos. They have a well but softly lit area for the photo to avoid shadows. They use a high quality camera. Print it out in just a few minutes. Much better than rolling the dice at a drug store or shipping store. read more

Wonderful "neighborhood" camera store with a wide array of photographic services and equipment/accessories!

My wife and I wanted to explore making copies of 1940's era photos of my late parents, so I could give to my children and siblings. One was from a large, colorized 8 x 10 of my father, and the other pulled my mother out of a B&W 5 x 7 of my mother and her two sisters clustered together. We wanted the photos processed to look like they were taken at the same time by the same photographer and developed in the same way. The results were amazing, very reasonable in price, and something my family will treasure always. My sister is now searching through her photo stash and will likely be doing something with photos of our late grandparents that are over a hundred years old. She liked what she saw from Omega. We love their work!! 5 Star rating, if you're keeping track. read more

We needed immigration photos and this was the only place I could find near me that did them - they guarantee that their photos will pass the paperwork! Overall they do photos (passport, etc) and sell a lot of photography stuff - the staff was friendly and we came away with what we needed. The pictures are expensive but that's probably the nature of these "specialized" photos. read more

Kindness is the most valuable currency these days. That's what you will find at this store (in addition to ring lights for your zoom meetings, picture frames for your holiday pictures, and so many fun gadgets! read more

I had to take out passport size photos today so i yelped and found out this amazing photo studio. The owners here are extremely professional and have all the specifications that you require for any kind of photo i.e they keep an updated file for specifications needed for different countries passport size photos. They do work with a lot of precision including trimming and stamping the photographs with signature which shows their passion towards the simplest things to do which is rare to find in today's world. For the first time, i liked my passport size picture, quality of picture speaks for itself. I highly recommend Omega photo studio. read more

These guys are the best...very knowledgable, engaging, yet pressure free when it came to sales. I trust their understanding of not only photography but also my own needs as an intermediate photographer. The only con is the store is small compared to Glazer's or Kenmore Cameras. Their print shop is amazing...now I know printing does make a difference! read more

The door chime as I entered was quite loud and I made a goofy comment and the gentleman behind the counter replied with humor. It was a great way to be introduced to this team of camera experts. I brought in a friend's film camera as I was having trouble loading it. Steve asked if I knew the last time the battery had been replaced, I didn't and I said let's just replace the battery because I didn't know and instead of just selling me a battery I might not need he took the time to check the voltage of the current batteries. (They were fine) Cleaned the lens, and Unfortunately while the camera was not operable he gave me some suggestions about that selling for parts and value of lens and options for other similar cameras. He was ridiculous smart, on point in communication so I could fully understand about why the camera wasn't worth replacing. The entire stuff actually came and helped us figure out that the camera wasn't going to work. It was just a great experience I can't wait to go back and get my camera and work with Steve to get my new camera. I highly recommend Omega and the entire team- for their knowledge and their integrity and their sense of humor and kindness. read more

I had to give this place 5 stars, I go their for all my printing needs! Henry, their Digital Designer, worked on the posters, invitations, and programs used for City Opera Ballet's most recent performances and they turned out beautiful!

The place is super clean, organized and I was treated like a valued costumer. I will definitely be returning for their services! read more
