Digital Conversion
Norm C. - IowaJM did a phenomenal job digitizing a bunch of old family VHS tapes and photos. Great service, I recommend "thefrenchguy" most highly!!!
**************************************************Mike L. - North CarolinaI waited a long time to decide to have my film photos digitized, but it was worth the wait as I could not have made a better decision than to have had Jean Marie Cote' do the conversion for me.His professionalism made me feel confident my photos would be well taken care of. He did an excellent job in that he corrected many bad photos, at a very reasonable cost, and on time.I highly recommend Jean Marie Cote' at "TheFrenchGuy Studio" for any of your photography needs.
**************************************************Michael N. South CarolinaWith a well-equipped studio and an eye for the best approach to your project Jean-Marie delivers an outstanding final result.
**************************************************William W. South CarolinaFor years we have had a box of 8 track tapes, camcorder tapes, flash drives, DVD's and CD's with all our family's good times and children's activities recorded. We have moved this box to 4 different homes and finally after 25 years, decided to get all of this organized and into some form to give to our adult children. An architect friend gave us Jean-Marie Cote's name, a professional photographer to help us. Jean-Marie has combined and reduced the memories from these onto a flash drive to plug into a computer' We are so happy to have had this done after so many years so quickly and professionally and reasonably. Jean-Marie will be doing further projects for us as well . We are very happy that we found Jean-Marie----"The French Guy" to help us with this long-standing project!
**************************************************Steve O. South CarolinaExtremely helpful in what could be done with my family slide digitizing project, estimated costs and expected results. During the work, he kept me informed about what adjustments could be done with some old degraded transparencies, and he improved the quality of some really bad ones. He also enlarged a 40 year old slide into a beautiful 11x14 print. The results were excellent, more so than some online companies with which I've dealt, and at comparable, even better, pricing. He also packaged and shipped my father's home movies to be digitized, again with great results. Many beloved memories which hadn't been seen in over 60 years are now available to me, my family and friends. I would not hesitate to use Jean-Marie's services in the future, and I heartily recommend THEFRENCHGUY PHOTOGRAPHY for quality, personalized photo projects.

John F. South CarolinaJean-Marie did a fantastic job converting 350 photos and videos into a 50th anniversary celebration video. He is extremely talented, reliable and responsive. He sent us multiple iterations for feedback until the final version was done. It took less than a week! He is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him at the highest level.**************************************************
Carol C. South Carolina
In my many experiences, both as student and client, with Jean-Marie, I have found him to be nothing short of professional, talented, experienced, personable, dependable, and versatile in subject matter. He is a perfectionist and truly enjoys his profession, all of which shows in his work. I recommend him highly.

Sean G. - MarylandWe used thefrenchguy photography for my daughter's senior photoshoot. Jean-Marie was excellent. He was easy to work with and took amazing pictures. The price was also very reasonable. If you live on Hilton Head Island or are visiting and need a photographer, I recommend him highly.
**************************************************John J. South CarolinaFantastic photo of Pluff Mudd artists on the gallery porch! I really liked my head shot as well as the other shots he took of some of the artists! Well done!**************************************************Sarah B. South CarolinaThe Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra is very fortunate to have engaged Jean-Marie Cote 10 years ago as the principal photographer/videographer for all HHSO and LEAGUE events. His photographic work can be viewed on our website and in our yearly program book. He is an extremely conscientious, hard-working professional in every sense, even when called upon at the spur of the moment. His work is exceptional, always timely, and his recommendations for new settings and layouts proved invaluable. And at all times, he shoots with a smile and a laugh. If you need a photo shoot, don’t pass up the opportunity to meet Jean-Marie, in a short time he will become your favorite photographer, and your new best friend.
