The small studio runs by a really nice and helpful couple. You can have your passport photos ready within a short time unless they are super busy.
They do the good job. The price is reasonable too. They charge much less than the drug stores.
If you need some ID photos, this is the good shop you can trust.

I had a great experience getting my passport photos done here. He was super friendly and efficient and his prices beat the far inferior service at nearby London Drugs.
14 September 2023 19:00
Great service! He was very busy but got everyone done quickly and professionally, he was very lovely/kind, and was knowledgeable about how to do my 6 month old’s passport photo!
08 September 2023 19:00
Friendly, fast, and great quality service! We put our 5 month old in a colorful sleeper since the owner suggested it and made sure she was awake and happy for the photos.

Used Victoria Photo Studio for my PR and Citizenship applications.
Very friendly and efficient.
01 June 2023 13:23
Great service! Great quality for the photos! The photographer super kind and friendly! I will recommend this place!
29 May 2023 2:45
Great customer service, they will great with my kids (one and two years old). I had to resubmit one of the photos to the embassy with a digital copy and the owner helped me with that.
16 April 2023 21:59
Family have been to this place for over a decade. Great service and top notch photography skill by the owner. Took my daughter first passport photo here when she was 2 and he was great with her. Highly recommended but he does get busy sometimes so be patient!
11 April 2023 8:48
Great quality passport photos and quick turnaround. We were in and out of the shop in 15 minutes and the photos were ready to go within 30 minutes from when we completed the shoot. Highly recommended for anyone looking to bring a kid to get their photos done for passport, permanent residency, etc. The shop owner is incredibly kind and welcoming.
04 April 2023 12:37
I am very disappointed when I come to have my PR picture. I told him I came all the way to have the photo taken because I thought he has a good review.but I am very disappointed how he took the picture and the results. My friend is a photographer and he know how to take a good picture but today he is very rush and not giving me a good photo. The photo is not good at all. I will have to find another photo studio to retake my photo. I don’t recommend other people to go to him.
08 March 2023 15:20
This guy only consider his money, i got a feeling he is scamming the tax, doesn't given out proper receipt.printing out two receipts.payment receipt doesn't shows GST amount.
01 March 2023 23:09
The best place to get passport photos! The owner is very confident about his work. I have gotten for Canadian passport, Japanese passport and PR. Usually be ready to pick up within half an hour if it’s not too busy. Highly recommended! Only Debit or cash, so don’t forget to bring them!
05 February 2023 6:57
Just WOW! Super quick and efficient. Took my 6 months old and 2.5 year old for passport photos and can’t recommend this place enough! The photos turned out perfect. All my friends and family raved at how good the photos turned out. Will definitely come here for all future passport photo needs:)
31 January 2023 5:26
Mom & pop shop. Great and fast photo services, they know what they r doing. They are good at taking passport photos for babies too ️️
20 January 2023 19:59
Friendly and quick service. I def would recommend. Photos are better than those taken from London Drugs
14 January 2023 3:05
I came here to do my Canadian Passport photos. So amazing! Owned by the sweetest man. He makes you feel so welcomed. Images turn out fantastic. I will defiantly be back and recommend this place to everyone!
25 December 2022 19:15
A very friendly older couple run the studio. My sister and I went to take a portrait of the two of us for our parents. The process was quick and the picture turned out great!
04 December 2022 0:58
I brought my 4 month old baby here for her passport photos & had a great experience. As others have said, the wife held her with white gloves & the husband took the photos - it all happened efficiently!
I would definitely come here again & recommend it to others.
Note: debit card or cash only.
27 November 2022 15:39
A great spot for passport photos of your newborn. The sweet couple that owns this shop was lovely with our 2 month old. We were in and out in under 20 mins. Will come again for our own passport photos when it is time!
05 November 2022 9:38
I would say this is definitely one of the best service experience. The quality is superb, professional and I just get what I need very quickly. Moreover, the owners made me feel like home. Highly recommended
30 October 2022 14:42
Brought my 2 month old baby in to get his passport picture, I was very happy with the service and results. Another mom friend told me about this place and I’m glad I went!
03 October 2022 3:45
5 Star rating for overall service. Reasonable price, quick service and very friendly. Our experience for Infant Passport photo was amazing.
30 September 2022 1:58
I brought my 4.5 year-old son there for passport photos, my son is autistic. This is one AMAZING experience! We came in an early morning, the owner gave us his warmest greeting with gentle smile. I told the owner that there might be a challenge for a photo shoot with no smile as my son always smiling and might not look straight into the lens…even though he was calm enough and never meltdown. And, it was done within 20 seconds, we got a perfect nice shot before I started to get nervous. Beside his great knowledge and professional skills, he has the most thoughtful and beautiful heart that all his customers can feel him!
P.s. We tried those chain-store photo labs before but all failed.
27 September 2022 3:02
This studio is our family's go to for passport photos. They take excellent pictures, they are even recommended by other passport photo places, especially for kids photos. They did such a good job with my toddler and 3 months old baby. The owners are also super friendly!
10 September 2022 4:45
Amazing photos, got them in perfect resolution for digital visa application. The owner is very kind, passionate and professional!
05 September 2022 21:53
Fast, very friendly passport photo service.
The owner was great with my 2 month old daughter for her passport photos. Highly recommend for infant passport photos!
03 September 2022 5:40
Such a nice couple who run this shop. Very professional.
The passport photo looks good, yes I know usually it's not that flattering. He managed to use the light in such a professional way that it looks very nice. I highly recommend this place.
26 July 2022 5:36
Late review but wanted to give this place five stars! Brought my 4 month old here for his passport photos and it was a very smooth and stress-free experience. The lady was kind and gentle with my son. It was pouring rain and the lady did not want me to walk to my car with my baby in the rain, so she quickly got the photos done and off we went. Thank you for being very accommodating and thoughtful.
22 July 2022 3:27
If you're looking for an affordable photography with warm welcoming, this is the first place you should try. Great experience on all the times I visited, without any disappointments.
21 July 2022 15:08
Absolutely fantastic! Amazing quality photos. They did a brilliant job with my newborn's passport photo and they were so quick printing them. Lovely owners that have been doing this for over 30 years. Will definitely be back
05 July 2022 13:06
I can highly recommend Victoria Photo Studio to anyone who needs high-quality and amazingly priced photos for the passport, PR, visa application or anything else. The owner is charming, welcoming, and does his job brilliantly. My husband and I went to Victoria Photo Studio thrice, and each time the quality of photos was impeccable and there were no issues with the size/head & body positioning/lighting etc. The owner will definitely make sure you look great - and, as a cherry on the pie, the price is beyond reasonable (at par with London Drugs where 90% of photos are typically bad enough even for the "Wanted! " board in a police station). An absolute hidden gem in East Vancouver and well worth a visit, regardless of where you live in the Greater Vancouver area.
13 June 2022 4:51
The cutest couple took my kid’s passport photos. One I took when he was about 3 months old and one when she was 2 months old. They definitely knew all the rules to ensure our photos met all the passport standards.
05 June 2022 10:38
Got our baby's passport photo taken here and would recommend it to anyone that needs photos done. He was so friendly and made a nervous process of getting an infant photo so easy!
30 May 2022 11:03
Needed US passport photos for our son. The owner is fantastic! He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and delivers great quality passport photos. Highly recommend!
22 May 2022 15:02
Best place ever for passport photos. The photographer is a very professional. The quality of the pictures is amazing.
11 May 2022 18:32
A cute mom and pop shop with friendly customer service. Went here for my toddler's passport photos and they were great with her. They were also taking a couple of other people's photos including a 2 month old baby's which I think they did a pretty good job of. Will come back again!
Definitely great for those who need photos for little ones.
30 April 2022 3:07
Went there for baby passport photo today. The staff (I assume husband and wife) were very friendly. Both of masks on. The lady also put on a pair of gloves before touching and holding the baby in the seat for photo taking. There is also hand sanitizer in the shop. They take debit and cash only. No credit card. Very fast service. Photo was ready within 20min.
04 April 2022 13:54
Great friendly service and very quick turnaround on passport photos. Owner is a lovely guy with some great stories:)
16 March 2022 9:04
A friend recommended this place 5 years ago and been going there since for passport photos. Can't beat the quality and the owners are super friendly and know how to deal with kids.
22 February 2022 7:26
The old couple who runs the studio is kind and lovely. I went for my PR photo. Very reasonable price and received my photos in minutes. Highly recommend!
14 February 2022 2:51
Visited this business to get baby passport photos done today and I was so pleased with both the overall experience and quality of the photos. Super friendly owners who really know what they are doing. They were so quick and got such a good photo of my baby. I also had passport photos done at London Drugs and these were far superior! Highly recommend this place!
17 January 2022 14:12
The owners are so friendly and cute! You won't be disappointed with their service! Remember to not wear all black or white tops before coming here. Highly recommended!
07 January 2022 8:49
The owner is friendly and he had my passport photo ready in 20 minutes. Quicker than Shopper's because he's already set up and knows what he's doing.
20 September 2021 2:22
I love this place! I went here 3x over the course of 3 years. Im always satisfied with photos I get (passport/PR ID). I have moved place, not so far, but I still go back to this place, better than London drugs or other photo labs. Aside from good price, owner is always so friendly too and quick service! Free street parking just in front of it if you get lucky.
19 September 2021 15:12
Very fast, great quality and great service. Will be back next time I need passport photo taken.
10 September 2021 4:42
Fast and quality service, fair price, and the photographer is experienced and friendly so does the receptionist!
09 September 2021 20:45
I checked from the high reviews and went to the shop for shooting my PR card photo. The reviews were totally right. I were so satisfied by the result.
23 August 2021 22:04
Great photo studio running by a cute old couple. The passport photos look nice! Strongly recommend if you are looking to get nice passport/PR photo. Support local business!
16 August 2021 0:46
Got my Chinese passport photo token here. Service was very profession & efficient. The photo worked perfectly.
01 August 2021 15:34
Great price and quality passport photo! They were very kind and professional, 15 min turnaround time. Support this local family business!
25 July 2021 8:35
Very friendly owner. He explained the process such as signing at the back. High quality for a very good price. $5 cheaper than Shoppers.
17 July 2021 2:24
I randomly searched for a ID photo place and this one came up as one of the top results. I never regreted going here. The onwer is an older gentleman who was extremely helpful and kind. He welcomed me with his story of how he moved from one of first generation of London drugs photography department to his own business to keep up with the quality and reasonable price. And yes, the photo quality went far from my expectation. I loved it, much better than all other ID photo I ever took anywhere else. Strongly recommend to everyone
09 July 2021 20:36
Just went at this shop how wonderful the owner, knowledgeable he is for his clients needs. Thank you so much.
08 July 2021 9:56
Great place for an official photo, nice service with a very reasonable price, will come back next time. Highly Recommend!
25 June 2021 10:30
Went there today to take ID photo. My friend recommended me this place.
Really good quality and friendly & professional owner.
Price is good and print it fast.
Will go back again:)
15 June 2021 2:52
Excellent quality. Took a citizenship photo for my 3 month old. Photos were ready in 20 minutes
11 June 2021 16:02
Jim is very nice and has a lot of experience. I needed a photo for an iranian passport and he already knew the requirements. Highly recommended
09 June 2021 12:59
Mr. Jim (Jimmy) service is awesome! He is super nice and friendly. The price is great and definitely competitive against than other passport photo services as well, but I’ll only come back regardless because of his exceptional and friendly customer service. 100% recommended
29 May 2021 18:30
The owner of the studio was very welcoming. He was alone in the shop when I came to take a passport photo. He asked if I was able to wait a little as he is just finishing up another task. While waiting, he was able to entertain me with his stories of his family, how he started the photography department in London Drugs, and how their standard has dropped, and his store has better quality etc. I have used LD passport services and it is true, his photos come out better! Photos come out pretty quickly too; I waited for probably less than 20 minutes!
17 May 2021 11:57
If you are needing passport photos, this is the place to go.
The price is amazing. The quality is fantastic. The experience is unforgettable. The gentleman that owns and runs this shop is one of the kindest humans you will meet in Vancouver. As soon as we left his shop, my wife and I looked at each other and discussed how beautifully kind the owner of the store was.
In a time when supporting local businesses is more important than ever, be sure to check this place out. You won't regret it and will leave feeling better about humanity.
25 March 2021 11:34
Visited for passport pictures and very satisfied with good quality. Owner photographer is very professional and generous. Over 30 years at current location.
22 February 2021 7:46
The owner is such a friendly and professional person to deal with! The service was quick and did a good job on my photos as well!
I am just satisfied with the whole experience including the price they charged me! Photos for passports, Citizenships, P. R, IDs and etc, he just knows the dimensions for it and does a great job for a good price! This place certainly deserves a shout out!
14 February 2021 8:14
Great service - fast and reliable. I came there for PR and Citizenship application photos and the shop owner knew exactly what the requirements were, and even reminded me of what I should do with the photos before sending them out.
06 February 2021 5:05
We were here earlier for our Canadian Passport Photo, the owner was very friendly and professional. I really recommend this photo studio you'll get best quality pictures and better price compare to other studio around the area.
14 January 2021 14:56
I was here to get passport photo of my 5 months old baby. Owner took only 10 mins to get the photos. He is very experienced & nice guy. Definitely recommend this shop for passport photos.
03 January 2020 3:11
Amazing service, cheaper than London Drugs and yet much better quality.go to for passport photos! Like friendly grandparents who have been in the business for over 30 years quick turn around time, less than 10 minutes.
28 October 2019 11:41
Locally owned for over 30 years and the owners are so sweet and attentive. I would recommend this place over any mainstream place like London drugs.
19 October 2019 20:09
Highly recommend this place! Owner and his wife are extremely pleasant, nice people. Great service and quick to get photos back (i think i waited 10-15 min). Prices are affordable and cheaper than London Drugs down the road. I'm more than happy to support this local business and will drive out of my way to go here.
08 October 2019 20:07
I will always go here and recommend this business. Such a congenial man, knows his stuff (over 30 years of experience!), and the best prices around!
15 August 2019 1:48
Best photo studio ever excellent price and quality. Jim and May provided and excellent customer service and made me have a really nice time. Recomendadisimo!
03 July 2019 21:56
Best place to have your photos taken hands down. The owner cares deeply that your photos look great and he is a genuinely nice man. Excellent value. Excellent service!
18 June 2019 20:12
I brought my five week old baby here for her passport photos this morning and we were in and out within half an hour. This includes waiting for our turn and settling the baby. It was just over $16 after tax for the passport photos for babies over 1 month (completely understood because they take longer and can’t follow directions). The owner was friendly and service was prompt. I’d recommend this business to others!
04 May 2019 10:49
Professional, quick and great value.
I took my passport pictures here and will be recommending this place to my family and friends!
23 March 2019 12:37
The owner was very friendly and nice. Picture quality is good, prices are reasonable and service is fast. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs passport photos!
22 March 2019 7:26
Had to bring my 1 month old to get her passport photos taken. The couple were super friendly & made the experience very easy. Only took 15min to get in, get the photos taken and printed.
[Baby not being fussy at that moment was a huge bonus]
Photos came out awesome & great quality

Would highly recommend everyone to come here for their photos!
13 March 2019 13:00
Great experience. Great price. Friendly owner. The owner Jim is a friendly 70 yo Korean born man. He has been running this shop for decades and has clients that have come back to him for decades even after they moved to further neighborhoods. I had to drive 20 mins to get there but it was worth it just to support a well run small family business like this. I hope he can stick around for a bunch more years!
23 February 2019 19:59
Owner is very kind and provides excellent and professional service, knows exactly what he's doing. Been going here for years. Highly recommend this place!
