First Choice Photo / Paterson Photography

Mike has always delivered as promised with my custom print requests.Mike goes over each image with me prior to printing and the prints are ready when promised.I would not hesitate in recommending Paterson Photography for your custom printing requirements.

Great customer service and incredible work! I had 3 fairly difficult prints I needed made of a few vintage posters and he was able to create prints which look even better than the originals. Very responsive and attentive to his client’s needs throughout the process as well. Highly recommend!

I've been a customer of Paterson Photography for 10 years and every experience with Mike has been a great one. Mike is an excellent teacher, very thorough and is very knowledgeable, friendly, and honest and is a great source of support and is always there to help no matter the skill level!He has printed all of my prints and even helps me tweek them, when needed, so that the final product looks amazing, whether it be a print for myself or a client I have confidence that the end result will be amazing.He gives great advice on the type of paper I should be printing on and knows if the print will be suitable for the size requested.He has a quick turn around and is very accommodating! His prices I have found to be very comparable to other big box store printing, but the quality and paper selection with Mike and Paterson Photography far exceeds them!Mike genuinely cares about each photo he prints, he is very personable when I pick up the print, and we always end up in lengthy discussions about photography and what we've been shooting and where we've been.If I have questions about editing, photography or my camera I know I can email him or pop in and he is always happy to help.If you are a beginner and want to learn photography or if you want to expand your skills, I highly recommend taking courses from Mike, and once you get great and have prints to get printed I highly recommend you have them printed by Mike and Paterson Photography! You will not be disappointed.

Mike's printing services are second to none! My prints are always done in a timely manner (same day and sometimes even on the spot!) and are always done with impeccable quality. His many years (multiple decades) of experience in printing and photography make him an outstanding expert in this field.Mike also offers multiple photography courses that are completely worthwhile and cost efficient. I've taken many of them and would suggest to anyone that they sign up today. Mike knows his stuff better than most.

I have been a customer of Mike’s photo services for many years. The product is always perfect! The most recent time I used Paterson Photography, I had a very large order. I called Mike on Wednesday, and by Friday, the entire order was complete. He is also very pleasant to speak with on the phone. During this period of COVID-19 when we are reluctant to do business in person, Mike displayed complete professionalism on the phone and on line. I would highly recommend Mike Paterson for any of your photography and printing needs. Read through his bio - his resume’ is very impressive. Thank you, Mike!!

Visiting First Choice Photo was interesting. Mike was able to manipulate the photos I wanted in my collage as I sat on a comfortable chair watching the whole experience.. He made an excellent product for which I am very impressed. Mike is a talented photographer. I enjoyed meeting him. . Thanks Mike.

Kinsmen Club of Coaldale has repeatedly used Paterson Photography for all their design and print needs. Mike’s eye for detail and his understanding of his clients needs are 2nd to none.Mike has helped us with our Harley Raffle year after year designing our posters and our tickets. He is perfectly set up for printing and laminating and we would recommend his services to anyone if you looking for a great quality product.

I'd give 10 stars if I could for the service I received! Mike went above and beyond to get my canvas printed for me. Promptly answered all my questions and the quality of the product was perfect! We're lucky to have this service in southern Alberta.

Fantastic Photolab here in Lethbridge! Easily order online for pick-up or delivery! FANTASTIC service, great prices and quick turnaround time. Good selection of frames if you are looking to get your photos framed so you don't need to drive around looking for frames. My go to place for all my photo printing.

A very rare find in a day and age where everything is price first and on line purchasing second. If you are looking for the very best quality in photo printing, a real person to talk to and first class customer service then you have found the right place. Mike delivers on all three points and does a terrific job. My customers want the very best and to get that you need three things. 1) There is no substitute for experience so work on getting yours, 2) The best equipment you can afford and 3) A top notch photographic printer that knows his/her stuff. Combine all 3 and you will be proud to hang your images in your home or in a gallery.
