Love having a film place near me! Got me back into taking photos again! Appreciate that they do weird film formats like 110

great service, friendly people, fair price . Went there for Canadian citizenship photos. Great service, friendly, familiar with the unique Canadian photo requirements (which differ from passport photos and must be stamped on the back) Whole process took less than a half hour to get photos for three people. read more

Dropped off a roll at 11am on a Tuesday and had my scans back by 4pm the next day--so fast, I was honestly shocked! Super easy, super friendly, and the pricing is sooo good. Photos came out perfect--definitely my new go-to spot for film. Thanks Photo HQ! read more

Wow! I am so impressed. This is my second time working with David and I'll be working with him the next chance I get! I even got to peek at some of the photos and they were AMAZING! You can tell he is well seasoned in his profession with an eye for creativity! As for the experience? David was so kind during the entire shoot. We hired him to take my senior photos which included myself, my partner, and two very energetic dogs. He was patient, kind, and open to different ideas. I'm not very comfortable taking photos but felt so taken care of and free to be myself. I will be shouting his name from the rooftops! Thank you so much. read more

Photo HQ did a fabulous job on restoring a black and white 1953 photo of our parents. It's very scratchy and faded and they made it look like just taken. Highly recommend!! read more

PhotoHQ is the best! I use them consistently for developing and scanning film -- 35mm and medium format, BW and color. The small team is kind and knowledgeable. The develop and scan quality is professional (standard scans are good enough to see nice grain, but you can pay extra for raw and higher resolution). The turnaround for develop+scan is consistently 1-3 days (fast!), you can come in-person or mail-in, and pricing is better than anywhere around Seattle I've found. Their website is nice too, allowing you to both make orders and review your scans. read more

I just started shooting 35mm film. I come here to develop and purchase film. Friendly staff, service is great and development is fast (24/48 hours) and they provide digitals. read more

I have been a loyal customer for 2-3 years and I have also recommended them to friends and family. I have purchased film, disposable cameras and gotten my film developed here and they always do amazing and quick work. The staff members are so knowledgeable and beyond nice. If you are in the area, I would highly recommend! read more

We came here to get U.S. passport photos done for my kiddos, and it went really smoothly! I was nervous about my toddler being scared and fidgety but she was great. This place had all the right equipment/props to take photos for kids/babies. For my toddler, they had a step stool for her to stand on while I held her hand on the side. For my baby, they had a little lounge chair seat for him to sit. It cost $15 per photo (plus tax) which is a decent price to pay for peace of mind of getting correct passport photos done! (I tried doing them at home and it definitely didn't work.) read more

Took some film to get developed, but the scans were very low resolution and unusable. I'm talking 1gb per scan and 6mp. Just kinda disappointed, but they did get me the scans the very next day. Keep in mind the photos provided are from a proper SLR with a very nice lens read more

See all

the service was great, price was super affordable, n the turnaround time was soo quick for developing my disposable cameras

This is a great place to go to get Canadian passport photos. I was actually getting PR photos which are a little different than passport photos and they immediately knew the differences, but reviewed the specifications I had brought just in case there were any changes. They then took a number of photos, rejected any that they thought might not work. They told me they hadn't had a rejected photo in a long time and it was a point of pride that they not get any. If you've ever tried to get Canadian pictures done at a pharmacy etc you understand how these details matter. They were pleasant and relaxed and took great pictures. Highly recommend. read more

Wanted to print a few digital photos on good quality paper. Well, this placed uses old school photo paper, on old school photo developing machines. They even put them in the photo envelopes like back in the 80's and 90's. . (This will giveaway my age) The owner was very helpful and I was able to download the pics from my phone in the shop, select the size and crop the photos, checkout, and have the photo prints done in less than 30 minutes. FYI: They develop and sell film, just like the original shutter cameras. Plugging this cool shop. And will definitely be back to print a few of my wedding negatives. Check them out!!!! read more

The color and quality of the photos are beautiful. I'm grateful to have found them. They are one of the very few places you can upload photos and have them developed by a local business. read more

They were very friendly and very professional. I needed a passport for photo they took the photo and I came back in about an hour, and it was ready! The photo was beautiful! read more

I needed a quick print of a photo for a birthday gift and the customer service I received from David was 110% fantastic. He printed the photo while I waited and even looked online to see where I could find a good deal on a frame that was potentially a hard-to-find 8x12 size. He couldn't have been any nicer and I very much appreciated his quick help and kind manner. And the print was only $7! All-around a great experience and convenient to me in downtown Edmonds. read more

Wonderful customer service. I ordered at a busy time of year and my Christmas cards were ready even faster than I had hoped!

I had an old, damaged photo of a family reunion that they were able to restore! They were able to pull off a major miracle! It's beautiful and this photo will be this year's Christmas presents! read more

I went there because of the nice reviews and I needed pictures for passeports. I don't like leaving negative reviews but I am very disappointed. I was not given any option to look at the pictures before they printed them. I paid $25 per person, and the pictures are really terrible. So yes, I guess they met the passeport requirements (so they got 2 stars) but my daughter looks like she is a deer in the headlights. I would really not recommend. I would definitely not go back. read more

I needed two passport photos that met European and not US standards. I needed them for a meeting in a week. I arrived at Magic Photo on a Saturday about 3:45 and their closing time was 4:00PM. No problem with the time. The owner took my photos and had them ready in a few minutes. We went a little over past closing time, about 4:15. No problems or complaints from the business. We also had a nice time chatting waiting for the photos to be ready. read more

They are nice. I'm satisfied. They did what I asked. I only got negatives tho, I can't judge their other services. They are pretty dull tho and kinda lame decor for the place. I mean I guess they don't have anyone shopping there, but it would still be nice if it looked more like a professional photo business, not a hole in the wall that it is currently. I even had to ask when I got there if I was in the wrong place. read more

The turn around for developing film from disposables was astounding. Most places take 5-7 days and if you use Walgreens or CVS it can take WEEKS. I dropped 3 cameras off on Friday only needing digital scans and by Saturday afternoon they were already done. This place will forever get my business!!! read more

Great place to scan and develop your film! The price is not that expensive, just waiting for them to get my whole roll back. Plus, they also sells some film like Kodak 200 and 400. read more

Have dealt with company several times with positive results. My latest experience, not so much. Placed an order online for soccer photos taken previously. Two months later, no photos. I reached out via email several times to no avail. After 3 months I asked for a refund. Was told a refund will be sent. Going on month four, still no refund. read more

I don't really have a scale for how to rate passport photo places--do I factor in ambiance? I think not. I'm going to rate on efficiency and pleasantness and for that, Magic easily merits the full five star treatment. It's kind of tucked away in some strip malls that almost seem not to be there. You're going so fast on this stretch of 99 that you can easily miss the sign because the letters just aren't large enough to read at that speed. So pay attention. No vegging! Once inside, though, they're clearly well-established, and they want to put a good foot forward. They handle all kinds of portraiture, frames, scanning, etc. But I was here to get a passport photo. How old am I and I have never needed one before? I know--ridiculous. But no time like the present, eh what. Evidently there's a whole science of regulatory observation to these things. I am glad I didn't send off my $110 cashier's check with a self-portrait. You can't smile. You need the right background. You need your head to be centered, and between this big and that big. Magic just takes what appears to be a candid snapshot with a little hand-held digital, but then they weave their magic in special passport-photo-editing software that checks for all the stuff that the Department of State will reject you for. I am not making this up, and this was all news to me. I walked in kind of expecting/dreading the possibility that a passport photo place would be pretty grotty, with a decided air of helping kids get fake IDs. Clearly they're not all like that. The lady was ultra-pleasant, and knew all the regs for every country's passports. She said she had customers come all the way to Edmonds from the east side because she could meet Brazilian photo requirements and no other studio in town could. This is crazy to me. Ultimately, I paid $13 for two unflattering wallet-sized mug shots, but I'm considering $12 of that at least to go for the expertise here. We'll see in 4-6 weeks whether it was money well spent. read more

Passport services available here for every country available, along with print and wedding shoot: portrait studio sessions. Super friendly and approachable down-to-earth staff. Great find! Got my Canadian renewal shots here, these guys are experts at all the necessary requirements and do multiple Cdn shots daily. read more

Such quick turn around for development! They do it about two days most places take so much longer. The owners and staff are great!

I cannot say enough good about this place! My wife found an old picture of she and her mom from 50 years ago. (We are 55) I contacted them, by email, and asked if there was anything they were able to do with it? As the photo was 50 years old, long before cell phone cameras, the lighting was terrible. I sent the photo by email to them, and had. the photo cleaned up, and retouched. We had it made into a 16x20. Thanks to Dale, there, one of my wife's favorite childhood memories has new life! Thank you, Magic Photo! read more

I did photo cards and photo projects here in the past and always had wonderful service experiences, but this time I had to take the time to write the rave review. I didn't order the photo card with the graduation announcement thinking I would do it later, and locally, but then life happened, half forgot, half didn't get to it.... NO PROBLEM. Ordered today and picking up tomorrow! Thanks Magic Photo- a reliably great business! read more

thank you for helping me get photos printed so promptly. i came in with a lot of urgency needing to get photos for a memorial & the staff on duty was very kind and accommodating to my situation. great affordable place. thank you so much. read more

These guys are stellar, our high school team used to go to Dorian photography but there was a disaster where Dorian forgot to come to an appointment and I had 30+girls all make up'd and hair'done and they never showed to take pictures(you can imagine how that day went for me as a head coach) so we switched to magic photo and they have done a tremendous job the last 2+ years even going as far as giving me free team pictures for my assistant and I. Highly recommend read more

Found this hidden gem in a plaza near my house. The location is pretty easy to locate and the gentlemen who worked the front was super friendly and very helpful. I wanted to print 8 photos for my hallway decor and decided to give Magic Photo a shot. The process was super simple and quick. I gathered some photos from my phone, went to their website and uploaded the ones I wanted. During the selection/uploading process you get to choose the quality and size (I went for 8x10 glossy) and they came out great! Perfect for the frames that I ordered from Amazon. Would highly recommend if you're looking to print high quality photos! read more

Am moving to Canada and needed another set of photos to complete my immigration paperwork, and these guys were great. COVID made things a little more challenging, but they handled really professionally. They knew what I needed, and gave me clear directions as to what I needed to do and NOT do. Immigration accepted the photos without a problem, and that was a great relief. Recommend to anyone needed photos for your international requirements, read more

Great service. Came for a Canadian passport photo. Knowlegeble and fast. Thanks. Awesome read more

I came here to get my passport photos done. It was quick, easy, and very well priced. They do international passport photos as well, which is very convenient because every country seems to have a different set of rules. I had a bit of a chat with the photographer, he seemed very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend coming here for a painless experience. read more

We got our passport photos taken here because of all the wonderful reviews and we're so glad we did! The guy who took our photos was extremely welcoming and nice. He made sure to incorporate all of the passport requirements for our photos and explain it to us. Not to mention he took our photos with his super fancy camera which turned out great! He even let me have a retake. read more

It is difficult to find a professional photographer who knows how to correctly take passport photos, citizenship photos etc of different countries. US passport photos are easy to find but not for other countries. Magic photo prices are reasonable and quick. I will choose them for all my passport photo needs. read more

I highly recommend Magic Photo! We needed Passport photos, but were informed that they should be ADIT style photos. Having no idea what this was, other than taking the instructions given to us in with us - we were thoroughly pleased with the service we received. Not only did he take passport photos, but he also took the time to research what the ADIT style photo should be and included that for us. It has been a long long time since I have had exceptional customer service like we did here and will definitely return for any future service that I require. Friendly and fast service at a great cost too! You won't go wrong by using Magic Photo that is for sure! read more

I have been a good customer of Magic Photo for many years and have ordered large format prints to passport photos. Today, I called to discuss getting a print of our kitty who recently passed away. I explained I had smaller than needed image as far as MB but the guy working was rude, cut me off and said he had to have 18 MB minimum to work with. As a photographer who just wants a sentimental image printed, this isn't true. Before I could even say I had a larger image, he said "I have another customer to help and cut me off and hung up. Badly done. I won't be back! read more

Just stopped here today. I was in a rush, needed pictures for passport. Probably, I just got lucky, cause it was no line. So, I was in & out in a few minutes. Very fast, professional. Loved it! read more
