I have worked closely with Bob McGrath and have negotiated all our contracts with his photography company for the past two years. I would highly recommend McGrath Studios. We've tried many other photography companies in the past, but I've found that their customer service is superb and unbeatable.
They are extremely helpful, and we've
had our highest number of seniors photographed due to his help with our
marketing efforts. We meet with him on a regular basis and discuss any issues
as they arise, and he is definitely willing to accommodate and help us.
It has been a pleasure to work with Bob McGrath and McGrath Studios to create the Harvard Yearbook. After working on nearly a decade's worth of yearbooks, I fully appreciate the importance of high-quality photos and a reliable photography company to the successful production of any book. McGrath Studios has helped us not only with taking senior portraits and special event photos, but also with training our photography staff.
When I advised my first yearbook 22 years ago, my photographer was from a reliable local company. When he retired I was lured to go with a large national company with promises that turned out to be too good to be true. I had to make a change. When I first met Bob McGrath I knew that I was back in good hands.
Over the last three years his service and commitment to our school has exceeded my expectations. But the best thing about working with McGrath Studios has been the pleasant, courteous, efficient and personalized service that I receive each time I have contact with them. Every one of Bob's staff is a credit to his company - this is the way it should be.
"We switched to McGrath studios a few years ago and have not regretted a single moment. Bob and Beth both have been nothing but fast, efficient, and responsive, but most importantly kind. They are not just another company to do business with, but a role model and resource to learn from and grow. We hope Dartmouth's Yearbook will continue to foster a strong relationship for years to come."
Congratulations on celebrating the 25th anniversary of your business. Truly, as much as I understand that you rely on the support of your clients, I also want you to know that your clients (especially me!) rely heavily on you and are most appreciative of everything you do to help us out. So, may you have 25+ years more of success, I'll certainly count myself lucky to be able to continue to work with you for as long as I'm at Boston College!
“As
the yearbook advisor for Massachusetts Maritime Academy, I have worked with
McGrath Studios for the past several years. McGrath is without question one of
the best companies (in any field) with which I have worked. They are
professional, friendly, helpful and do an outstanding job.
As our schedule at the Academy is very demanding, I
have always needed a flexible staff in order to complete the yearbook. McGrath
Studios fits right with our need for flexibility. Arnie is always trying to help
with anything we might need. Bob is a true professional who ensures the job is
done right. Bob’s father Jack is always willing to stop by at a moment’s notice
to snap a few shots. He even keeps me on schedule, letting me know when he’ll be
on campus taking pictures.
The product delivered by McGrath is second to none. I
have received numerous emails and phone calls from happy parents (and cadets)
describing how much they enjoy the portraits. On campus, many people have told
me how impressed they are with the quality of portraits in our yearbook.
Overall, I can’t say a single bad thing about McGrath
Studios. They don’t really make you feel like a customer, but rather just
another friend of theirs. I give two very enthusiastic thumbs up for McGrath
Studios!!”
As a high school principal in Maine, I am very pleased with the customer service and the quality of the photos produced by McGrath Studios. Our school had worked with another larger firm for several years that was not meeting our needs as far as customer service and products. We tried McGrath and are very pleased with the results. If you are looking to change photography companies, I would encourage you to consider McGrath Studios.
For the past three years, McGrath Studios has provided the Northeastern University Cauldron Yearbook with incredible senior portraits, photographic event coverage, and commencement photos. As current Managing Editor of the Cauldron and former Senior Editor of Brookline High School’s Murivian, I have dealt with many photographers, and can say definitively that no one has been better to work with than McGrath. The level of professionalism, dedication, and customer service is unmatched.
McGrath Studios has been in business for twenty-five years and the University of
Miami IBIS yearbook has been fortunate to use their studio services for the last
eight years. It’s easy to remember the number of years we have worked with
McGrath. It was the fall of 2001 when our world changed drastically on September
11 (9-11). The company who was scheduled to do our studio work for our 2002
yearbook would not travel to Miami after the attack, so we were without a studio
company just as we were starting to take portraits.
We could not find anyone to do the work. Finally
someone gave us the name of Bob McGrath and he agreed to bail us out of a tough
situation and get the studio work done for the 2002 IBIS yearbook. It is that
kind of can-do attitude you can count on from McGrath Studios. I don’t know how
we could get along without them. They continue to be an integral part of our
yearbook from the quality of the work to the financial support they provide.
Hats off to McGrath Studios! Hope you have another great 25 years.
After 18 years, we continue to have an excellent partnership with McGrath Studios. Quality service, portraits and action photography have helped raise the level of our yearbook.
I was very please with our portrait session. Everything went very smoothly and many of the seniors were impressed by the simplicity of the whole procedure.
I also want to say that the Chariot staff and the seniors were all
very impressed with Matt as well. He was efficient and professional
but was also very personable and was able to make the students feel
comfortable and at ease. Both Sam and myself heard many of the
seniors telling each other that the photographer was "nice", "funny",
and "very quick". He allowed some of the students the opportunity to
view a few of their photos and they were all very impressed.
Also, thank you for the additional times and day as they made many
our students, myself included, very happy and prevented a very rushed
and stressful feeling during the week. Hopefully, McGrath and Chariot
will continue to work with another for a long while.
Just
wanted to pass along a phone call I got today. A parent called and said
that they had "wonderful choices" and that the parents and student are
thrilled!
This is our tenth year working with
McGrath Studios and Bob McGrath.
After much research and conversations with 15 different
schools, I received many recommendations for McGrath Studios. We at last decided
upon McGrath and they have been consistently professional, courteous, and very
accommodating to our needs. They continue to be a great partner. I have
recommended McGrath to other schools that were looking for photographers, and
they all have thanked me for a great recommendation.
With a totally digital book the process became instant and
seamless. We are a panel flow customer and McGrath sends all portraits directly
to our yearbook company, making my job as advisor much simpler. The ability to
go on line to view and track our senior photos has been a tremendous help in
completing our yearbook. Bob McGrath has helped us with our technology needs as
well as training our yearbook staff to take great photos.
His staff is always punctual and professional when they
attend any of our events.
As an experienced advisor of a large school, I would
highly recommend McGrath Studios to anyone. I would never look anywhere else for
my photography needs.
McGrath Studios has exceeded our expectations over the past few years. Whether they are shooting formal portraits or capturing candids at any one of our many extracurricular events, they have provided us with an extremely impressive product. It’s like having a professional photographer on staff full time!
