    Kodak Gold shot on a foggy morning at Baker Beach - turnout out beautifully!
    Cassy J.

    I've been using Royal We Film Lab exclusively for my professional and personal film development needs for several months now. They offer phenomenal development and scanning services, paired with fast turn around times and education, support and community. The whole team is really personable, knowledgeable and professional. The ordering process is simple, the pricing is so competitive, and the turnaround times are unparalleled. They check the boxes on all fronts! Jason, the owner, helps me find film that allows me to shoot in the conditions that I need, which really enables me to stay aligned with the work I love while shooting in exclusively film. They also have the sweetest lab kitty. So that's just bonus joy every time I'm in. Speaking of - I always take my film in, and I really like that I can hand deliver it and pick up my negatives at the same time. And if I decide to mail it in, being in the bay area, it's a day or two - max. So glad to have found this lab that is so high-quality, reliable, supportive and personable. And feel incredibly lucky they're also in the Bay Area! But really, they've earned my trust and loyalty - I'd continue to ship to them if i moved out of the Bay Area. Highly recommend - you'll love Royal We.

    If you're reading this, and you shoot film, just go here, either in person or by mail. That being said, I've been here twice for a total of 10 rolls of 120, this is by far the best my shots have ever looked, and the easiest my shots have ever been to edit. The quality of the scans and development really shows. I've been burned so many times by labs that ship film out to places that don't even care about what they're doing, giving me back horrible scans with crescent marks in the film(from grabbing with a fingernail) or massive light leaks on 90% of the shots, horribly low quality scans etc... I had none of these issues, and super fast service, at a price that's more than fair, I highly recommend this place

    Great service, pricing, and turn around time. I'll never need to go anywhere else for my scans!

    How long before you get the prints, usually?

    Hello Garie! You should expect a 1-3 day turnaround until prints are ready to be picked up or shipped out unless it is in a size range that is different from our in-house offerings of 6x4 and 8x12. If larger, it may take a little longer as we are…

    They processed a couple of color rolls for me, too; and their colors and development are really good.

    Memento Press, what can I say, you really came through! I am leaving this because I'm ecstatic with…read morethe results. I'm a professional photographer and I had a client request a sexy yet tasteful boudoir photobook. I looked at several online vendors and they *almost* had what I wanted but I only had 3 weeks to ship before she presented to her partner. My concerns was that I had to trust an online vendor to get it there on time and have the right level of quality for the amount paid. I called a local Oakland press, Memento and talked to Josh the owner. He made me aware of even better options after looking at my photos and graphics and suggested a different type of layout/papertype that was suited for her level of sophistication and book quality. I sent the proof and specs, and within a few days they (thanks Sheryl!) produced a gorgeous leatherette black covered book with high quality matte paper with a slight laminate, perfect. Now the suspense was killing me, what did she think? The answer arrived this morning as I woke up to the clients text: "I got the book! It's beautiful. Thank you Kelly. For making me feel beautiful and helping me create this. I am forever grateful." I'm over the moon that they pulled this off and the client who has high standards loved it. So if you need exquisite quality by folks who know their stuff and an owner that has a great sense of what is needed and style, go to Memento press! Looking forward to doing more business with them in the future. Thank you.

    I have a 1937 grad class photo that is in sore need of restoration. I contacted several businesses…read more I received a response, from Damir, what the process would be, and how much it would cost. I will be taking my photo to them the week of 8/15 and will let you know the results. The fact that Damir got back to me so quickly, thoroughly explaining the process and letting me know the cost...is what sold me. I had heard from others, however, they were not able to do what I was asking for, in the restoration of the photo. I'll check back in once I receive the completed project.

I started coming here six years ago to augment the lab time and instruction I was getting in school. Their darkroom was my happy place for a long time and was fairly priced. What impressed me the most about their gorgeous space was that they encouraged clients to get their work off their screens and onto the walls. Literally, any time I had a question about anything related to photography or printing, Stuart, Ed, Constance, Chrysta, or Nathan would make the time for me and help me out or give me feedback. I enjoyed printing there and always left feeling inspired because they were so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. If you'd like to learn about photography, I highly recommend checking out their services, classes, and workshops. I wish I could give them more than five stars!

My artwork was mishandled and the finished product I had hired them for was poorly executed and unusable. I had to take it to a qualified business afterwards who confirmed they did not do a good job. When I raised the issue, the owner and staff were dismissive, refused a refund, and ignored multiple emails and calls. Their unprofessional behavior was bizarre and astonishing. They clearly aren't equipped to handle valuable artwork. Save yourself the headache and take your projects elsewhere.

    First, Clayton's studio is well-located and easy to get to with good street parking. The studio…read moreitself is cozy and intimate, well-appointed and -equipped, and perfect for headshots. I'd contacted a few other studios and found his pricing packages were very reasonable, right in the sweet spot of what I wanted to spend. Second but more importantly, there's Clayton himself. He's very warm and friendly. I had never needed professional headshots sporting different looks including changes of clothes before, and I was uncertain of what the shoot would involve. But Clayton immediately put me at ease; he clearly knew his business, understood my trepidation, and erased any doubts I had about how the shoot would go. He explained everything he was doing, gave excellent direction for each shot he was taking, cleared every backdrop and scene change with me, and offered to show me each shot he took. I had signed up for the 30 minute session, but Clayton did not act like he was on the clock and spent a lot more time on my shoot than expected. He took lots of shots with different poses and with the different looks my three changes of clothing provided. He was exceedingly patient and encouraging. After my session ended, I felt I'd made a new friend in Clayton. Finally, the headshots. The shoot was on a Friday, and Clayton told me he'd have the proofs for me to review early the following week. Sure enough, on Monday he sent me a link to see the dozens of shots he'd taken. It was like magic; the photos were better than I expected--I liked how his shots made me look, and these were not even the finished photos yet! Next steps were to designate the headshots I wanted finished, which I've done. Communications with him were great throughout: he always responded very quickly and completely so there was never any question or doubt about what was happening. In sum, Clayton was a consummate professional who is also very personable. I'm now thinking that having him do a family photo shoot--something I'd never given a thought to before.

    5/5. Clayton was amazing to work with. This is the first time I've worked with a professional…read morephotographer. I needed corporate headshots at a reasonable price point and Clayton definitely delivered. Not only did he make me photogenic but he also was extremely thorough in understanding what I wanted out of the headshots. His communication was on point throughout the whole process. I had a hard time choosing my favorite photo as he did such a great job. I'd definitely work with Clayton J Mitchell Photography again.

I actually found him after speaking with a different boudoir photography company whose ad I had seen on Instagram; I decided to do some research before committing to anyone, and found Cheshire on Yelp, checked out his website, and put in an inquiry. He called me very quickly and the conversation was so different from the other places I spoke with! Instead of just laying out "here's how it works, here's what you get for this price," etc., he asked a lot about what I was looking for, what I hoped to get out of it, my motivations or inspirations, etc. That personal touch carried throughout the experience. He consistently made an effort to understand what I was looking for--from the planning process to the photo shoot to going through the photos afterward--to make sure that I got exactly what I was hoping for. The photos themselves are absolutely awesome. It's incredible the different looks and feels he creates in a relatively small studio. More importantly, he just has an incredible eye for what is going to look good and how to create looks, moods, etc. I felt super comfortable the whole time, and I think that shows in the final product. Everyone who has seen my pictures has been blown away. He's way more than just a photographer; he's a true artist. Never in a million years had I ever imagined having a giant naked photo of myself on my wall, and yet here we are...and everyone who's seen it has been amazed. Can't recommend him highly enough!
