Hi Lautaro,
Thank you for the 5* feedback! It is greatly appreciated.

A beautiful reminder of a wonderful day
I was really late ordering the photos from my son’s graduation and was worried I had missed the boat. Luckily I hadn't. I finally got round to doing it and couldn’t believe how easy the whole process was (and how quick they were to deliver - even over the Christmas period). But the proof is in the pudding, as they say, and I have been blown away by the quality and colour of the photos. Absolutely lovely and a wonderful reminder of a seismic occasion in our family. Brought tears to my eyes! In fact, they’re so lovely, I’m going to order more to share with the family.

The photographer was very welcoming and professional
The photographer was very welcoming and professional and knew his business. This was very welcome on what was a bit of a tension-backed day! I dropped you a star as I ordered a photo frame, which was not cheap, and it came empty. You could have mounted one of the photos in it!

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review.
I am glad to know our photographer on the day was able to put you at ease.
We apologise that your picture was not framed, when a customer orders multiple prints we allow the customer to choose which image they would like to frame. I will raise your comments with management to see how we could improve this service.
Kind regards,

Second time with Lafayette
Second time with Lafayette. The first was for my master's graduation and even though they were the official photographer and arranged by the university, I was so delighted with the photos that I promised myself that I'd go with them if I obtained a PhD. Fast forward a few years and imagine my delight to find that they were the official photographer at my PhD graduation.
Absolutely delighted with the service and professionalism. Special mention to photographer Nigel Gault who did my photos on the day.

Bought 2 sets of pictures for my twin…
Bought 2 sets of pictures for my twin sons graduation. Did not order frames. The larger pictures are standard size but they cut the smaller ones to a size where they do not fit standard frames (4x6 etc). It makes no sense to cut these to a non-standard size unless they are forcing us to buy their frames. Given that they seem to have the 3rd level graduation market sown up in Ireland. This is very petty.
Caveat Emptor should be their motto.

Hi Gerard, Many thanks for your comments and I'm sorry you weren't happy with the size of the smaller photos. We don't trim the photos, it is simply that the smaller pictures (5"x4") are the same ratio as the larger pictures which are (10"x8"). If you get in touch with us offline we can substitute them to another size that fits the more common frames sizes, but still works with 10"x8" format. The lab is closing today for the Christmas break, but we will be happy to look after this for you in January. Guaranteed no devious plan to sell more frames! I hope that helps.

Very efficient service on Graduation…
Very efficient service on Graduation day. Post ordering, I realised that I had ordered the wrong photo. I emailed Lafayette, explained the issue and asked if the order could be amended. They responded promptly, saying it was no issue and that the amendment had been made.

Excellent graduation picture package
Although I found it a tad difficult to find my son's graduation photos online and had to exchange a few emails to find them, the service overall was very good, the package great value for money, the regular information on the status of my order helfpul, and the pictures excellent.
