Testimonial from Helen Gilbertson

I can't thank Sean enough for getting my headshot done for me quickly, professionally and comfortably. He made the whole process very easy and was so accommodating. I started the session with "by the way I hate getting my picture taken" and ended the shoot laughing and extremely relaxed. And, the pictures look great. Thank you 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

Testimonial from Jo-Anne Teed - Pet Portrait Client

My first experience with Riverwood Photography was at their Dog Day photo shoot organized as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society along with a great opportunity to get a photo or more of your favourite Pooch! Sean and his team were well organized amid the chaos of a stream of pet owners and pets of all sizes. With two dogs in tow - an old one and a young one - and both moving targets -Sean managed to get some great shots of both our dogs individually and together. I look forward to having him do a family portrait for us and new head shots for the office. We will at least sit still!

Testimonial from the Mother of the Bride

I am Lauren's mother, and on behalf of our family, I wanted to tell you how much we have enjoyed your slideshow of Lauren and Eddy on the mountain. You are such a talented photographer, and your pictures have sparked a great deal of emotion with myself, Brad and others who have seen it. I have watched it many times and I feel as if they are right here in Ontario when I see their faces. My brother from Calgary has watched it more than once and I know that he will be recommending you. I hope that your business does very well. Thank you for sharing this.


Testimonial from Jinger Forde

Business Portrait for Jinger Forde

My family and friends know I REALLY don't like having my picture taken. I'm aware of my flaws, so I am my own critic. Without question, Sean was/is professional, warm and personable. Combined with a sharp turnaround time, great eye for detail, my experience was exceptional and the results outstanding!

Testimonial from Susan Jenkins - Pet Portrait Client

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 Joelle Sheppard - MJP Dance Academy

2014 MJP Dance Poster

Riverwood Photography has been our studio photographer for our Irish dance school for the past two years and we couldn't be happier.

Sean has a great eye for setting up beautiful shots of our dancers. He is able to capture action shots of our older dancers at the perfect moment and has a knack for bringing out the smiles in our younger dancers in their posed shots.

Sean is able to shoot many dancers in a short time without sacrificing quality. He is easy to work with and is able to put all the dancers at ease; even the camera shy ones. He is always willing to put in extra time to get the shot that I am interested in, even if he has the sun shining in his eyes and the wind bowling him over.

The parents in our studio are always happy with the finished result from Riverwood photography. They love the variety of options there are available to order and how professional the finished photo packages are.

I would highly recommend Riverwood photography to anyone that is looking for a professional, efficient experience from start to finish.
