This was part of a package deal that I bought for Gettysburg, Pa. We had so much fun. The photographer was very knowledgeable about the Battle of Gettysburg and the process that was used to take pictures back then. She got us all dressed up and took our photo, If I did not know any better, I would think that... More

My husband, son, dog and I reserved a time online for what we knew would be a rainy day. We spent 7 days in Gettysburg, and while we enjoyed every bit of our photo shoot the battlefield and historic sites do rate higher for us. We chose the wet plate process for its uniqueness (in our digital age) and authenticity.... More

My mom and I went to get our picture taken, We were greeted by the owner and immediately were taken upstairs and dressed quickly. She was very knowledgeable about period dress, hair, and photographs. The photos were ready quickly but since we had another activity, we didn't come back for them until the end of the day. They were still... More

When researching our vacation plans to Gettysburg, we noted that Victorian Photography Studio is the number one rated attraction on TripAdvisor, and we were intrigued by the thought of having our portrait taken wearing Civil War-era attire. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are extremely pleased with the results! While in Gettysburg we made an appointment, which is suggested. When... More

We decided to spend our first afternoon in Gettysburg getting our photo taken here based solely on reviews from Trip Advisor. The experience did not disappoint! The couple that runs this business is incredibly helpful and professional. Tish was so good with our two young sons (9 & 4) and really helped them enjoy the experience. We opted for the... More

This was not only a great way to capture a family memory via photo; but both our sons said it was one of the funnest things we did. They always like to play dress up when they were younger and I think this brought back memories of pretend play. We also learned a lot about the true period dress back... More

After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, we included the Victorian Photography Studio on our list of things to do while visiting Gettysburg. I've always wanted a photo like this of our family, so we stopped here in the morning to see if there were any appointments available for the day. The gentleman at the counter was polite, and scheduled... More

Our teenage daughters were reluctant to do this but my husband had "always" wanted to have one of these pictures taken. The girls had a great time getting dressed up and the picture turned out great. Tish explained a lot about how the ladies would dress in the day and even did their hair for the picture. Fortunately we were... More

My twin sons and I stopped in at the end of our visit to Gettysburg during spring break. It was the perfect way to cap off our trip. We opted to take an old fashioned wet plate photo. (Looks even more authentic than a classic photo!) It wasn't just the plate that that we got to keep that is so... More
