Reviews of Memotime Photography (Photo Studio)

Emma Boutilier

My boyfriend and I had an amazing day with Yoshi as our photographer. We said we just wanted it to be relaxed & have fun and we were really happy with the outcome. He helped us pose so we felt comfortable and our photos turned out just the way we hoped they would. We’re both happy all around! Would recommend. ◡̈⃝

Our family had a great time working with Yoshi. Our photos are amazing and we love them!

Isaac Hill

Hidden photographer. Got passport photos late. They were very accommodating

Ross Sharma

I got some business photos taken here. Yoshi is excellent. I felt at ease, and the pictures came out great. He even took time to make my tie clip look shinier because I said I wanted it to be visible. Would recommend.

Went here for some family photos to be taken. The quality and clearity of the pictures were beyond my expectations. Had a really good experience and the photographer wasted no time which was really surpriaing. The photigrapher was really nice and efficient.

Went to the studio in New West yesterday to get my daughter (2 mo.) passport pic taken. The photographer was very professional, the final picture was really awesome. One down side is the studio is not really stroller accessible, it has a staircase but no ramp, but no big deal.

Sara Mercer

Amazing studio with great props, space and professional photographer. Patient with kids and babies. Extremely happy with our session.

I am happy with the service I received. I received a call from Yoshi this morning and after our conversation I have a much more positive outlook regarding this company and their customer service. I appreciate the time he took to listen to my concerns and I was able to learn that there is an option for delivery if prepaid. That would have been quite helpful and as a solution Yoshi has agreed to send our family photo out to us today. I want to thank Memotime for their consideration and do hope that others will choose to seek this local company out. *updated* I found booking awkward, online only with multi date selection required. Confirmation was by email. Customer service was not available and after the session was confirmed by photographer the company was not reliably reachable by phone. I still haven't picked up our prints because we live in Langley and their hours of operation are not dependable as they seem to be based on the number of bookings. There has been no contact beyond the primary one to inform me that my prints were available for pick up and there was not an option for me to have them mailed or delivered by courier. I asked. Overall, I am disappointed. The photographer was uninspired and and details like jewelry off centre was not considered worthy of correction. So, although I enjoyed the outing with my family I will not book with this company again.

We just had our family photos taken with Memotime Photography and it was so much fun. I am so happy with the photos and the photographer was so friendly and nice. I would definitely go again.

Lana Lojpur

Wonderful experience! Our family photos were a huge success, Karen was patient and mindful, we received excellent service and an even better product. We've received so many compliments on our photos. Highly recommended this studio. We will be going back for sure. Thank you for capturing the memories!

My two daughters and I had our pictures taken and I couldn't be more impressed with the service and pictures. The photographer was super friendly and was able to get my 3 year old to smile for the pictures which can be a challenge at times. He was amazing with the kids and took some gorgeous pictures of them. I was completely taken back that we were able to look at the pictures moments after he took them and then he offered to take more of us. Once we left, we left with a DVD of all the pictures and in less than 2 hours, received an email thanking us for coming in and with all the pictures uploaded via dropbox. I highly recommend anyone looking to get some professional pictures taken, you won't be disappointed by their skills or customer service.

The photographer was very professional and patient. He has a great eye for finding the perfect angles and taking advantage of the light. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Amy Marie

We just had a couples shoot and we are thrilled with our photos! We had two photographers take shots and it was great to see the different styles each had! They are both very professional and the studio is in a convenient spot and set up well! The shoot, photo review and digital copies we took home were all done quickly, efficiently and high quality. We are already talking about returning for engagement and extended family photos. Highly recommend!

This was a gift to my boyfriend for his convocation and we honestly had so much fun doing it! Our photographer, Yoshi, did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and giving us ideas for different poses. I always think that the people you're working with contributes so much to the experience, and Yoshi definitely made this experience a much better one than it already was. Thank you so much for the lovely memories!

Eloina Rodriguez

Had ID photos for passports and immigration purposes. Service is ok but o don't think it's the cheapest. Good work though.

Kashy Baby

No complaints. The photographer, Karen was great with the children and executed exactly what I was looking for. She was punctual and I received my digital prints within an hour. Perfect! Thank you!

solome okolong

The best pictures we've taken as a family to date! Our photographer Karen was amazing. She directed us on the perfect poses and made our toddler extremely happy. The pictures came out perfect. I couldn't ask for more. We'll definitely come back in the future.

The kids had a fun time and were laughing and smiling and really engaged in the photo shoot. It was truly a wonderful experience and we would recommend Memotime Photography to anyone!

Raquel Ganadin

Yoshi is an amazing photographer. Photos turned out beautifully. Great poses and prompts. I have a fussy and crabby two year old and he was sooooo great with her. He's so patient and professional, yet accommodating at the same time. Our family will be using Memotime Photography for all future photography needs. Highly recommended.

Sarah Ng

Excellent! Far exceeded our expectation with our photoshoot with my baby. The photographer was super easy going and was able to capture some really nice shots - even with a crying fussy baby! He even taught us a new trick on how to calm my baby down! Wonderful job - will def recommend and will come back. We are already talking about our next photo session!! Thank you for the wonderful pictures!

Mitra Tei

Our photographer (I don't think I caught her name) was so sweet and social and easily brought smiles out of my SO and I. She clearly knew what she was doing and we all clicked really well. She did an amazing job and we are so happy with our photos. We highly recommend this studio to everyone and wish you all plenty of more successes in the future!

Yashdeo Mokoonlall

Perfect place for a photo shoot. They don't rush their customers. Thanks a lot

Selene Jang

It was a great experience working with our photographer, Karen. I would highly recommend this studio and would come back next time for future sessions. Karen was great with my 3 year old and very patient. The pictures turned out great and we loved the shots we got outdoors on the New West Pier.

Me and my roommate came to take cheesy family photos to hang in our home, bringing props and outfits, and we had a GREAT time!! Yoshi went along with our ideas and was very very helpful and great! He was very kind and made our experience a lot of fun. Our pictures turned out amazing, and we received a great deal! We will definitely be back!

Wassup Its Nia

Extremely unprofessional. I searched up ‘where to get passport photos done near me’ and decided to choose this location since it is close the the station. The day before my supposed “appointment”, I got a text asking if I wanted my pictures done at 2pm or 2:30pm the next day. I chose 2:30pm. The next day, two hours before the appointment, I got a text from them asking if I could come in earlier? YOU gave me an appointment time to choose from, therefore stick with it. I ended up going somewhere else: walk in, cheaper, professional, polite staff with high quality photos. Why would I give my money to someone who can not stick to a time they agreed on? They sent me a rude text afterwards because I didn’t show up since I was turned off by the appointment time change text. Stay mad. Not bothered by it as their business and their responsibility to keep it as professional as possible. When you give a client the option to come in at a certain time, do not try to get them in earlier. Really rude. Do not recommend.

Johnny King (JayKay)

Very professional

Adelia Vu

I had the most brilliant experience with Yoshi. Superb, quick service and a very high quality outcome. If you're looking for someone creative and responsible he is your best option!

We had a great time at our session with Karen! We did our first photo shoot as a family with our 4-5 month old. She did a great job with our little one, and placing us in position for great pictures in an efficient manner. We were highly satisfied with the outcome.

My friends and I had a photo session with Memotime. We had a great fun time! The photographer was easy to work with. The venue was accessible. The photos were fabulous! Highly recommended. We want to do it again on spring in the outdoor!

We had an a exceptional photo session with our photographer. He was fantastic with our 9 month old daughter and captured her in her own element. Completely exceeded our expectations. We loved all our pictures.

We had a maternity shoot done and the photographer and the photos came out amazing. We were very impressed with the quality and Yoshi really took his time to make sure we were comfortable during the shoot and that we were satisfied with the end result. We will definitely request him again for future sessions.

Marlen Gursoy

The photographer was nice and had a lot of patience. He explained everything clearly. He was trying hard to make my baby laugh even though my baby was sleepy. He captured some very nice pictures for our little baby. Thank you so much.

Shashi Perera

The excellent reviews are really true when it comes to this place. Last weekend we went to Memotime photography to take some Christmas family pictures. Yoshi did such an excellent Job! He has an amazing way of making you feel very comfortable. We never felt rushed or anything. He took some great pictures of my seven year old daughter. We had such a hard time selecting pictures because they were all good. I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back.

Nadia Kyerematen

Great work! my husband and new son and I went to have our first family pics and they turned out great. Yoshi was very patient, understanding and kind. The photos turned out wonderfully! I came back a week later for passport pics for myself and my son and again, the photos were very nice and Yoshi was patient while my son took him time waking up. I highly recommend them for family photos as well as passport, especially newborns.

Suki Thomas

We had a wonderful photoshoot with Karen. She was very accommodating with our requests. With her professionalism and guidance, she produced wonderful portraits of us with the limited time we had. Thanks for capturing the memories!!

Omar Tahmiscic

Yup, touche to all the other positive comments below. Karen rocks. She knew how to manage us as a large family: one baby, a toddler big brother, us the parents, and a set of grandparents! Photos were fantastic. We sat down to view them thinking we'll select a half dozen but it wasn't long before we realized we just had to buy the full package.

farhang fanaei

The Photographer was professional and know how to attract my 2 years old son to camera and shoot the very nice photos which are unique to all of us. They are not cheap but it worth.

Nicole

Just want to say that Yoshi was really amazing. He was very patient with me and my boyfriend. Had to go back again to purchase all our photos because only bought 2 poses on the day of. He even offered us an amazing deal. Highly recommend this place because of Yoshi and his work. I've been to Sears and Walmart photo studio before because that's what Groupon offers and Yoshi's work is far beyond that. I always just go by our Groupon policy of one pose. I used to only get 1 pose from previous photography studios but with Yoshi's service and work, he deserved a client buying all of the photos. Thank you again Yoshi =)

Judy Hill

Do not waste your money on this business. The photos we received were not studio quality. When we told them we were not happy. The Manager Vic asked us to show him photos we had done at other photographer studios. "Because he is always looking to improve his business". When my family went to show him, Vic did not show up. Yoshi was there instead and promised the next set of prints would be of the same quality we brought in to show Vic. But again the quality of prints where not good quality. No difference. We paid $325.00 plus the $25.00 Groupon that my son had purchased as a Xmas gift for me (his Mom). The prints we received for the $350.00 were no better than prints from Costco. When we again talked to Vic about a refund he said he would only refund the $25.00. This event took over a month to deal with. Still do not have any refund. A lot of back talk and excuses. There is no way I would suggest using this company. It should have been a red flag that they do not display any of their prints in the studio. The prints where ready to pick up the next day after we were told a couple of weeks. There is no consultation involved in picking which photos they put on your disc. They are behind closed doors while you wait. .

Tiffany C

We bought a package for my mom to take a larger group family photo for the first time. She loved the photos and had a positive experience! The studio has a good space and location. Karen even managed to take some lovely portraits of our young daughters - it's hard to get them to smile like that for the camera. Thanks for the photos!

Ertra Haile

Very patient and nice photographer.love the service , he was super nice and reasonable.

Daniel Kim

It was the first time our entire family was taking a photoshoot and we didn’t know what to expect, but our photographer was incredible at making us feel comfortable and welcomed while taking great shots. The photos looked amazing, far better than some other studios I have been to in the past, and the entire experience was a complete delight. I would highly recommend Memotime photography and I will definitely come back for future shoots!

Jinah Kim

Super friendly and professional photographer! She was very patient with my baby enthusiastic. Thanks for the fun session and great pictures!

Peter Shen

Karen was our photographer, she was very friendly and professional. She made our family feel relax and welcome during the photoshoot. She was very attentive and good with our toddler and baby. We took a variety of photos using different props and back drops. The session was fun and the photos were available to use after a 30 min review session. The photos were beautiful and high quality. I definitely recommend Memotime Photography to others.

Pia Kolba

It was our first time to go for a family shot in a studio with our baby boy and we like how our photographer was patient and very clear with what poses she wanted for us to do. Then she was very prompt with editing. We were pleasantly surprised that she upgraded the additional package that we got since there were many photos we liked. The cost was very reasonable and relatively inexpensive for high quality and excellent service. We will definitely come back every year

Sarah Hansen

We just finished a family portrait session with Yoshi. He was a total pro! Even though our baby was cranky, he made the shoot fun. The photos are gorgeous and we will cherish them for years to come. 100% recommend.
