Testimonial from Corporate Event Planner Karri Ward

Beaver Drilling 50th Anniversary - Event Organized by themusegroup

"We recently engaged Sean to do a corporate event shoot for us which can be extremely difficult due to the varying light factors and all the fast moving parts of an event that require a quick and exact eye.

Sean was extremely professional and was able to catch each moment and scene to my expectation creating a story board that was a true reflection of the event.

The mark of a great photographer is being able to recognize and capture the shots that will bring the viewer into the moment, as well as experience the moment even if they had not attended the event. Sean was able to do this effortlessly. I would not hesitate to recommend him for future projects."

Business Portrait Client Testimonial

Working with Sean and Riverwood was great. At the session Sean was very professional and knew how to get the shot and look that I was after. The turnaround time to get the pictures was quick and I am very happy with them. I would recommend Riverwood to anyone that is looking for a great business portrait.

Testimonial from Calgary Portrait Client Maria S

"We used Sean for a LinkedIn profile picture and a family picture. As soon as we reached his studio, he made us feel welcome and at ease, and gave us a whole bunch of really good suggestions. We actually had a great time doing the photo shoot, and to top it of, the results were fantastic. There were so many good shots to select from that the selection process became extremely difficult (which is a good thing:)) We needed these pictures processed fairly quickly, and Sean was extremely cooperative about it. All in all, it was a great experience. Thanks so much Sean!!!"

Testimonial from Gerry Doerksen - Business Portrait for Client Insight Website

I wanted to provide some feedback with regards to Sean Phillips of Riverwood Photography Ltd. Sean was pleasant and enjoyable to work with during my photo shoot. He provided the guidance, direction and feedback required to accomplish some great pictures. His automated web system for reviewing, selecting and purchasing the images is easy to use and efficient. He delivers a highly professional service, that resulted in me getting my images within 24 hours of the photo shoot. That is great example of business leveraging the available technology. Sean provides a professional and excellent customer experience. I highly recommend his services. Gerry Doerksen

Dog Day 2013 Wall PanelI picked up my pictures today (3 picture wall panel and basic print package) and just wanted to let you know how THRILLED I am with the finished product. You really captured Charlie in the photos and they're a wonderful keepsake. I had specified a few changes to the wall panel and it turned out beautifully. Thanks so much for the great service!

Testimonial from Vanessa Erickson

Corporate Headshots at Intergraph

Sean is a true professional. When he arrived in our office he was efficient, flexible to work in a non-ideal space, and made everyone feel at ease. All of his processes - booking, file sharing, payment, etc - were seamless and simple for anyone to use. The finished photos arrived in only a few days, were of exceptional quality, and despite many qualms before the sessions about "being unphotogenic" everybody on my team was very happy with the outcome. I will absolutely use Sean in the future and will recommend to others to do the same!

Testimonial from Business Portrait Client Brad Celmainis

Professional Headshot for Brad Celmainis

"As long as I can remember, I have loved photography but have never enjoyed having my own photo taken, whether it be by a professional or otherwise. It usually shows in the finished product as my expression caught on camera is often forced, and unnatural in my view.

I really enjoyed my shoot with Sean. We knew each other before the shoot which helped put me at ease. I sense his approach would work on those who he has not met before as well.

My shoot with Sean was fun. I had a lot of great shots to choose from. It was difficult to choose the final product.

I network a lot in the Calgary marketplace and the comment I get often is, "you look just like your photo". I use my headshot on my website social media platforms. "Instant recognition" is important to me.

I am a small business owner who relies heavily on organic networking and marketing methods. Face to face contact is key. Having people recognize me has started many a great conversation. This has led to increased business and referral opportunities.

I am a strong believer that a great headshot is an important part of a personal brand. I recommend Sean Phillips and Riverwood Photography wholeheartedly to provide great service at a great price."
