I had some prints made from slides. - Very nice Friendly staff. They offer all things film. Highly recommended read more

I wanted to check this place out after our delivery driver stopped here to pico up some negatives he had developed. Convenience stores around me no longer develop any film. I have these strips of negatives that have been in storage for since I was a kid and I was so curious to know what was on them. My mother gave them to me a while back, but wasn't sure what was on them. Can't wait to see what's on them. I was told that it would take about 3 to 4 hours to process negative films today, because they are quite busy today. They are open until 5 PM today. It's located right next to this really good Indian restaurant that we liked and tried a few months back. I came in after 11:21 AM. I was told it would take about an hour to process the film. I also had them do a matte finish. I wasn't sure if I wanted the pictures digitized or not. They took down my last name is all for the drop off order. I found a cute white metal finished 5x7 frame for a pic at home I have been wanting to put up too. The frame was $17. The photo processing in the frame was $21.73. The photos came out nicely. I was happy with them. I don't know any of the folks that were in the photos, oh well. I'm glad I didn't have them digitize in the end. Super easy and convenient for sure. They do not except American Express here, only MasterCard and Visa. read more

Wow. What can be said about express photo...I came into this shop today scared of what might happen to me. That I would be ridiculed and teased due to the sensitive subject matter of my order. But no... at express photo, they do not judge. It took this team of ridiculously attractive 20-somethings only an hour to print out 3,000 pictures of ai generated buff lady gaga in swimwear which I need to send to my doctor. Actually, no...can I be honest? That is a lie. Express Photo and their infinite kindness has taught me to be true to myself, and so, truthful i shall be in this yelp review.These buff gaga pics are for me. Understand? They are for me to look at in my own time. Why you may ask? It is because I like the way they look, ok? Now listen dear reader. I end this review with a plea. A plea for you to go to express photo, and spend lots of money there. It is only $2.50 to get a photo scanned, and depending on the size, extremely cheap to get an image printed out. The turnaround time is great. As it took them only an hour to print out 3,000 photos of ai generated images of buff lady gaga in swimwear. I am not even exaggerating. Trust me on this. Now I must go, this has been another review by GooGoo4buffGaga23, signing out, go in peace my friends. read more

everthing i have done there is wonderful!!! staff is great!!!!! all very friendly!!!!

Dependable and good quality. Prices are also reasonable. Lots of services provided as well.

I understand the risk with cheap disposable cameras, but 10+ years of using them has never resulted in over half my photos disappearing. I wasn't given an explanation when I called about it, just told it was my fault by the guy on the phone. it's so incredibly disappointing. wasted money isn't a big deal, but I lost photos that were important to me because I made the mistake of trusting this place. read more

There is a guy with curly hair and glasses who works in this place. He's extremely rude. Generally, they do a good job. However, when this guy is helping you, which is about 33% of the time, I find him to be rude, condescending and after the last time he insulted me I decided to take my business elsewhere. There is a place in Perrysburg, OH that has the same machine for C-31 prints and they develop black and white film (Ilford Delta & Kodak TX) for a cheaper price. They have been around longer and are more established. I won't go back in this place. Life is too short to be insulted at the photo shop. read more

Great all around ,really great customer service had to have them ship my film to me bc I couldn't make it back to the store on my stay in Detroit.They took good care of my film, thanks guys. read more

Express Photo & Camera - Best film developments I have ever got - Photography Stores & Services Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

As reasonable deal as you can get nowadays. No E2 processing but they will cross-process of you want to try.

The best and most trusted place to develop film in the outer Detroit area. Always receive my scans back within a matter of hours no matter how busy it is or what day of the week it is. Offers Dropbox and Google Drive as well as returning of your negatives. Great pricing and great services. Accepts Venmo along with every other usual payment method. Always and will definitely return. read more

Not true that this business is falling safety protocols. Two young staff could have cared less about wearing masks when all the customers were. And signs limiting customers outside were completely ignored. We will not be supporting this establishment again until this changes. read more

My brother is dying of brain cancer and we had a favorite photo that we wanted restored. The original had tons of thumbtacks marks and was discolored. Express Photo did a fantastic job of restoring the print to look like the day it was taken. We had it enlarged, too. It made my mom's day to see the photo she loves so much, back to its original state. We are so thankful! read more

Such a great niche place. Very knowledgable staff and quick, high quality film development.

Took some old photos to be copied off of an album page. specifically asked them to call me if the price got close to $20. Picked up my 17 photos today over $27 no phone call no exclamation no apology. read more

Amazing best prices. Super friendly customer service. THE FASTEST TURNAROUND. The only place in the area people trust to get their film developed at. I've been to this store probably 2x a month dropping off rolls of film for about a year and every single time it has been a good experience. Also during this time they were always following COVID protocols and I felt super super safe. Love this place. read more

I've been taking my 35mm and medium format film here for the past year and I've been thrilled with the results every time. The employees are very friendly and they always take very good care of my negatives. After they scan my film, they send me the scans through Dropbox which is very convenient. I trust these guys. read more

They are so fast and convenient for processing photos. I love the look of film photography and while it's not the most convenient method they help me in processing my pics to get the look I love. The digital uploads are ready within a few hours. read more

I've worked in camera stores and photo labs for 15 years, and even worked as a photo lab technician for much of that time. I haven't printed anything since I left my last photo store job, because I didn't think anyone was left who could do a good job. Express photo is one of the only shops in the Detroit area that still uses a chemical printing process. I ordered my prints online, and was pleased with the prices. I picked them up the next day. I was in and out the door in 5 minutes, with 2 beautiful 8x10 B&W prints for under $9.00. I will definitely use them again, and recommend them to friends and family. Their hours make it possible for me to pick them up on the way home from work One note: They are in the second mall east of Newburgh, on the north side of 6 mile. Google maps couldn't quite get me there. read more

This team are really masters of their craft. Over the last 5 years I have brought them all manner of film medium to copy or reprint. Glass plate negatives, 4x5 positives, 35 mm news reels, large format panoramas, damaged photos, etc. Every challenge accepted, all have been successful. I have been able to have items reprinted that hadn't been printed in 50 years. They do remarkable work. Not saying every jobs was 100% but when you've been collecting vintage photos as long as I have, 98% isn't bad. read more

The staff at Express Photo & Camera were super nice and efficient. My family and I were preparing for my grandfather's funeral and needed a large photo (16" x 20") printed same day and on a weekend. They got the job done! The price was very reasonable too. Many family members commented on how good the photo looked. Whereas, I called a big box office supply/copy store, and they were unable to give me a straight answer on whether or not they would be print the photo. I'm glad a went to Express Photo instead. read more

The staff at Express Photo are super helpful and very friendly! I have had prints corrected, repaired, enlarged, and even had a beautiful canvas made of a wedding photo. It is usually only a couple of days for the prints to be ready. The work is always high quality. Their individual print stations are easy to use, and their turnaround time for these is almost always while you wait. I would never go anywhere else! read more

This place is the best -- the fastest turnaround times I've ever experienced - (they can send you the scans on Dropbox or google drive and you can pick up the negatives later) - great customer service - and very fair pricing. I've had disposable cameras, 35mm and 120 film developed and scanned here for years now (and recently got prints) I can't recommend them enough! read more

I brought three rolls of film with me from Waterford here in late March this year. I had a friend recommend this place to me because they completed around 15 disposable cameras for him in an hour and they were done with great quality. A week after I dropped off my film I had to call the store because they had not attempted to contact me about the status of pictures being done or not. When I called the store they informed me that my photos were ready to be picked up whenever I was ready to come get them. Because I live in Waterford, and Waterford is just over a 40 minute drive to Livonia, I did not make the drive back to Photo Express for about another three weeks. When I got to the store on an early Saturday morning I walked to the counter and told the woman who was working my full name (obviously so she could go find my pictures.) After about two minutes of looking she turned around and asked me to verify my name and spelling of my name. After another quick look through the front and back of the store I was told they could not find my photos. I was told I could leave and wait for them to call me when they finally found them. Because I had dropped off 110 film and someone specific who only works on week days processes this kind of film, I was told they could do nothing for me until monday when that employee came into work. I explained that driving to and from the store was a hassle and out of the way for me - I did not want to have to leave and wait for them to finally find my pictures they had misplaced. Feeling very frustrated and feeling like I was not being taken seriously, I went out into my car and called the store and asked to speak to the manager. I explained the entire situation to him and he assured me he would call me promptly and let me know what was happening with my photos. Two minutes later I got a call back - because of my handwriting they had written down my last name as an entirely different name, but all of my pictures were ready to be picked up that day. Thankfully I did not leave the store and start driving home. The manager did take a whole $1 off my entire total for all three rolls of film I dropped off. (big whoop) I was told to leave the store and wait for a phone call in a few days because of the carelessness and lack of interest the girls working at the counter had for my situation. Even though I kindly expressed in a patient manner that it was extremely out of my way to even be here giving them my pictures and money. Who knows if I would have even get a phone call from them about losing my pictures; they never attempted to contact me once during this entire process. I still have not gone back. read more

I love the convenience of this store, and the quality of the photos. I've used the internet sites, but the quality isn't there and they crop my photos (sometimes taking the top of people's heads off) at express photo I get to sit at a Kodak station where I can take my time picking, browsing and editing my photos from all of my medias. My camera card, my cell phone or my IPad. In addition, if I just need a single photo, I can email them and they print it for me. VERY friendly and helpful staff, I'll never go back to the drug store or Costco. The printers just aren't maintained as well and print quality suffers. read more

I recently started coming here instead of Woodward Camera. Their prices for processing color negative film are very fair in comparison and Express is done in 1 hour no matter how many rolls I bring in (my first visit was 14 rolls) read more

Fair price for 35mm development/scanning. Excellent customer service and ran by a family that truly cares about photography.

We had portraits and banners made for our daughter's team. When my wife picked up the order, there were several mistakes (wrong pic used, incorrect names). My wife went back later the same day to pick up the corrected items. There were still mistakes. I came back the following day and was told the items were not ready due to someone forgetting to do it. The quality of the correct items were good, but no excuse in taking so many attempts to get the items correct. read more

Shout out to Express Photos on Six Mile Rd in Livonia! I had some very old slides I needed made into prints. They did an exceptional job and I had them in less than 24 hours! I would highly recommend this establishment. Very professional and polite people. Thank you Express Photos, you made my day ! read more

We ordered two posters, they were provided photos and was told it was a $10 fee for the editing. That an email would be sent with the proof for review and approval. Upon receiving the proof it was not what was discussed, modifications were made. When the product was completed a day after scheduled pick up was then charged an additional $15 for editing but was never informed, and was then told that the initial proof that was sent was a work in progress. The staff member assisting at the counter was rude. For a 'special' poster. The final cost was expensive for the quality of work completed and the hassle of having it done right and on time. read more

I came here upon recommendation from a friend and was not happy with my experience. We both came with our film and the gentleman had assumed our order was together. He did not ask me about my rolls. Once we realized that it was all together, we told the woman that it was separate because we had different preferences on gloss/matte finish. Then on our way to another store, we had to call and tell them that my order was just prints and not also digital. When we came back to be informed me that my black and white roll of film was a type they don't process thus ruining the entire roll of film because they neglected to check the type it was before processing it. They were nice enough to replace the roll but I had taken photos of my recent trip to London on the black and white film. They had me pay for my other two rolls but seeing the situation and ruining my memories of a trip, I shouldn't have had to paid for any of it. I am thoroughly disappointed with the lack of professionalism and sympathy they showed towards their mistake. Being in the photography industry and a specialized photo shop I would have thought I could have trusted them with something so important to me. It breaks my heart knowing my memories were ruined due to an employees poor attention to detail. read more

I live in Washington DC and needed to find a professional photo lab to scan and PhotoShop 40 + photos for a documentary film. Because the photos were irreplaceable personal pictures from a family in Ann Arbor, I didn't want to risk mailing them. A lucky google search lead me to Dave Easterwood at Dave's Camera Repair in Chelsea and figuring he would know quality photo work, I called him for a recommendation. He referred me to John Kemsky's Express Photo and Camera in Livonia who did outstanding work. Everyone was incredibly responsive and eager to do a good job. Kira, who did most of the PhotoShop work, emailed me changes for approval and carefully followed all instructions, intent to make this customer happy. I am delighted with the results and grateful to Express Photo and to Dave Easterwood. read more
