Pixel Studio Productions

Great experience and product. I needed a headshot, called them up, and was able to get in that afternoon. Eddie was amiable and the final products were beautiful. Highly recommend!

2^nd time customer for Pixel and as expected, they went above and beyond my expectations. These guys simply are ON POINT. I have to imagine that several, if not all of their videographers have had some professional experience (i.e. — Hollywood). I know, seems a bit outlandish to describe work that way, but seriously, the production they put together is top notch.
I’ll be using them a 3^rd time around for sure!

Worst experience ever. They were unprofessional and canceled our session 5 min before the appointment. We were told the photographer does not validate groupon sales and refused to do our session. The photographer apparently does not honor commitments. I did not reschedule and prefered to go somewhere else. Never again.

Eddie–
As I did write, I was satisfied with the highlight video, but advised that people should not solely go with the quality of the highlight video. I learned that the hard way. I was completely unsatisfied with the delays, lack of communication, and poor quality of the long version.
I did communicate our frustration with the studio multiple times through emails and phone. It is illogical to think that I would not try to contact your studio first. At the end of the day, we believe that without a demand letter, we would not have gotten our videos. Unfortunately, we are disappointed in what you label «art».
We have a contract for a reason. We gave you guys months to cure your breach. You do not have to be an attorney to see the poor professionalism and work product. I am not debating anything. I am merely providing a review of my experience.

I chose Pixel studio for my brothers wedding and I must say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE IT!
I went to Blink, another photography company who did my brothers engagement, which we were NOT pleased with!
I showed Eddie, the owner, the engagement’s videography and photography and told him what we wanted differently this time around. And he did exactly that.
The previous photographers work was terrible comparing to the results we got with Eddie. The other company’s DVDs were SO pixelated and blurry. You could clearly tell which was the better camera and which wasn’t. However in this case, he did an impeccable job. My performance in the wedding was shot perfectly, especially the fact that I’m so picky.
Pakistani weddings are about 4 days long, so finding something affordable was our main priority. We got the best rate for the wedding package! I would say almost a few grand cheaper than what I could have paid! I’m never going back to the other photographer!
I wish I knew about him a few years ago for my brothers engagement, maybe we would have had a better result that time.
To conclude my essay of a review, I absolutely am very happy with PIXEL STUDIO’S service! Can’t wait to shoot my sister-in-law’s pregnancy pictures with Eddie!!!
I highly recommend Pixel Studio, you’ll love Eddie!

Pixel Studios did an incredible job at my wedding. I had a week filled with events and they were their through everything. Not only were they present but they made sure they got there earlier to make sure they don’t miss out on a single thing. Even if the events went on till 2 am they would be there till the very end. Pixel is extremely professional and great to work with. Along with being great in photography and videography, they also offer a slow motion video both. How cool is that?! They are one of the best in the industry and for an unbeatable price. My pictures and videos came out amazing!!! I have never been happier with any other vendor than I did with Eddie and his team! I DEFINITELY recommend them!

Used Pixel studio’s (Eddie) for my sons 1^st birthday photo shoot and was in love with all the photos. I wanted pictures outside in the summer heat and he still managed to make us all look happy. We also did clothing changes and a smash cake all of which came out amazing he got some wonderful natural and smiling shots of my son. I have gotten photos from other companies & photographers but no one has ever gotten so many wonderful photos with him happy & smiling. Only problem is choosing which ones to display :-).

I have used Pixel Studios on 2 occasions. We first did a photo session when my son was 6 months old. We easily booked an appointment, and Eddie D took amazing photos of my son. I was apprehensive initially with outfit changes and my child’s potential irritability, but our photographer was very patient and very encouraging. The result was amazing photos framed on our mantle.
I regrettably had another company take pictures at 9 months due to «deal» where buying clothes got us me a «free» photo session. Unfortunately that was a bad experience (another Unilocal entry). The session and images paled in comparison to Eddie D’s work. Furthermore I must say Pixel’s prices were fair, upfront and transparent.
Realizing the excellent service Pixel provides, I went back to them for my son’s first birthday party. This time with video. I must say the pictures were extraordinary. His team was able to capture the essence of the party. The video was excellent and looked like we were watching a movie. My son and I still often watch his «bird day» movie per his request at least once a week.
I would highly recommend Eddie D and Pixel Studios for photo and video needs. They are professional, prompt, courteous and dependable. I wish I had found them earlier!

I hired Eddie and his team to work on my wedding a few months back. At first, I was impressed at the package we were getting. Video, photos, everything… for such a great deal! And he came off so friendly and willing to accommodate. Never mind, that he was late to every appointment… We were getting a deal!
Or so I thought… and then I realized Eddie is the typical sleazy used car salesmen. He will seem like the complete package, work with you, and listen to all your requests before the event. As soon as the he gets his check… his attitude completely changes. He is no longer responsive and hard to reach.
Which would be fine if he had a good end product, right? I mean he shows up with a team of photographers and videographers with some really nice equipment. And then you realize that his «team» is simply students he hires… probably paying them $ 15−20/hour. I’m sure you’re paying a hell a lot more than that, aren’t you? He doesn’t have a «team,» he contracts out all his work. So maybe he’ll make up for it in editing/​production…
Nope, his editing and production are complete trash. His pictures look completely untouched and his video looks like the product of middle schooler discovering Windows Movie Maker for the first time. The worst part of it all is that it takes him MONTHS to get it to you… way longer than his promised 7 – 14 days.
So maybe my wife and I got the short end of the straw? Nope, I had a friend who hired him after me, and he had an almost identical experience. The guy continuously screws people over. He’s only concerned with one-​time business; not repeat customers. You’ll see that within a year, his business will be gone.
Also, please see this review from another review site that I found:
«Eddie (the owner) was pretty easy to work with at the beginning, and I REALLY appreciated him bringing down the price of his basic videography package when I realized I didn’t need him for the minimum hours listed on his website.
However, after the wedding, we were disappointed to find out that he hadn’t been filming the entire time. He made a 7 minute video, and then a 25 minute video (at our request) but it was not the whole affair. When we asked what had happened to the full 4 hrs, he said it was not customary to keep filming. This was not the impression he gave me before hiring him. In that case, the price seems a bit steep for that short of filming time.
Additionally he repeatedly made appointments with us and then didn’t show up. We noticed he got more flippant/​inattentive following the wedding, after he received the full payment, which is not great customer service. We moved away from Houston immediately following our wedding, and it was the biggest hassle having to come down to Houston every 2 to 3 weeks just so we can get our wedding video sorted out. In the end, he just dumped all the files he had filmed onto my husband’s computer, uncut. It even included some files from another person’s wedding preparations, which seemed intrusive. We’re still working on getting all those files on one CD, at our own time without his assistance. It seems this should be his job, not ours.»
Long story short, I have very few regrets in life… hiring Eddie to shoot my wedding is one of them. His business model is to lure you in with empty promises, hire untrained photographers, perform almost no editing, and then ignore you when you try to complain. He missed key shots, took very poor pictures/​video, and was late to every single meeting we had. I’d advise hiring a monkey from the Houston Zoo to shoot your wedding. The pictures would turn out the same as if you had hired Eddie, but it’d be hella cheaper and you could be that guy that hired a monkey to shoot your wedding.
Also, he sucks at writing fake reviews. The reviews below are so obviously fabricated.

With photography and film as my hobbies, my wife assigned me the task of booking the photographer and cinematographer for our wedding. Now there are quite a few of these companies there in Houston and so reviews was a must have as a reference. After comparing costs and reading the other reviews, Pixel Studio Productions bubbled up to the top of the list! If you’re looking for a company that provides top notch level of service and more bang for your buck, then Pixel Studios is the company! Eddie and his crew LOVE what they do and we have the photos and videos to prove it! Not only did the crew arrive on time, but the owner was there to make sure that everything went right!
The photos were delivered on time as promised, but the video did not. However, the editor contacted me himself and explained why. These are his exact words, «I’ve been working on it the past couple weeks and have kept on scrapping it and starting over ’cause it just wasn’t coming out as great as I wanted.» How honest is that? We understood that a work of art takes time and we felt very lucky to have a team that not only loves what they do, but also are willing to pour their passion into it! We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Thank you SO MUCH!!!

You can’t fix Stupid.
At least, that’s how the phrase goes. The same goes for how, not everyone can look drop dead beautiful.
Or so you think.
Eddie is what a fellow shooter would call, talented. He can shoot anyone, and bring out their good side. That my friends takes talent… and some educated guess work when working with kids and glam-​shot models. You can’t croon and throw stuffed animals at models… well sometimes you can. He doesn’t do that though, so you’re safe.
Back to the quality of work — it’s exactly what you should seek. You want to make sure you pick someone that can compose a piece of work that infuses YOU and the background, and not just place you in the same backdrop as 400 other customers that came waltzing into his office.
I got a great deal (based on the quality of the end product). I’m sure I could have paid a little less per print if I went to a more «chain» type of studio, but my last experience with that didn’t make me happy. I’m critical of my appearance (as we all are) and that includes my dominant Dumbo Ears. Eddie was on point with that during our shoot, and positioned us in every shot so it didn’t look too staged, and he kept this great angle to where my ears weren’t so dominant in every shot.
Maybe it’s just me, but he was receptive and listened to what we were looking for, and the whole experience felt very tailored to us, and not just a green screen shoot where we were just doing the same poses that others had done before us.
Overall, I think the work was very deserving of the price and in the end I have no hesitation in recommending Pixel Studio for all my friends!

I contacted Pixel Studio as an option for headshots, as I’m an actor and need them for college auditions. I experienced friendly and earnest relations with the woman on the phone, but after talking to both her and Eddie multiple times, I realized I’d only gotten a smidge of information from both of them. Definitely not enough to pay $ 250. Overall, friendly but not helpful. Ended up going with a different option.

I scheduled our session with Eddie for myself and my 3 year old daughter. His studio called us to confirm our appointment. We arrived at least 30 minutes early to be prepared, brought a couple of different outfits. Mr. Eddie was not there. His assistant told us that Mr. Eddie would show up soon and she could start shooting us to pass time. Well… Eddie never showed up for our session that was scheduled with him. His assistant made many pictures of the quality well below JC Penny standard (well she was not who was supposed to do it after all).
When we came to pick up our CD Eddie was there and he had a nerve to tell me that he did me a huge favor for selling CD for $ 162 instead of $ 300. For bunch of rubbish that was done by the apprentice whom I suggested poses and ideas myself?
That would be hysterically funny if I did not have to waste my whole day on such nonsense.
Eddie, sweetheart, the professional business is not about one time deal. $ 162 or $ 300, it does not matter if you do not have repeat customers.

I contacted Pixel Studio when I saw them on Groupon because I need some new headshots for my business. When I called the studio at 11 and 11:30AM, nobody answered, but Eddie’s cell number is on his answering machine, so I called him directly. I told him that I was interested in the Groupon and wanted to know before I buy it, how soon I could get an appointment. He told me not to buy the Groupon deal and I can just pay him directly when I come to do the shoot. He told me to call back to the studio and set-​up an appointment with his assistant. This time, she answered the phone. I scheduled the appointment for Saturday ⁴⁄₁₃.
Google maps couldn’t locate his studio and when I tried to call, there was no answer. I found it on my own.
I arrived slightly early because I wasn’t dressed yet and still needed to do my makeup. The shoot went well. I showed him some pictures that were a reflection of what I wanted my pictures to look like and he went with that. After taking several photos, I asked him to give me some direction so that I could get the «look» right. So, we talked and he made me very comfortable and he took some «candid» shots. At the end of the hour, I had 15 pictures that I really liked. He said 3 are included in the deal. I didn’t want/​need prints. Just digital photos. He made several comments about how easy digital pictures are because they don’t really require him to do anything in regards to printing, etc. He said the family before me liked 56 total shots and he sold them for $ 200 because he didn’t want to «break the bank» with the family. I thought that was very nice of him.
I sat with him while he was editing my photos and that was about 3 minutes per photo in photo shop. I told him that I liked B&W pictures so he said he would throw in a B&W copy of each photo because he didn’t have to do any work to it, just select that filter in PhotoShop. The total was 30 photos — 15 I picked, 3 included in the deal and 15 B&W copies. The price — $ 350 (after taxes). I paid it because I felt like I was helping to cushion the loss he took on the family before me, although, as he said, it didn’t require him to do much. He wasn’t printing 56 pictures for them, he was giving them 56 digital photos. Sure $ 350 is kind of high, but I justified it by saying that it averaged out to $ 11/​photo.
That was until I got a call from him on yesterday telling me that he didn’t include the $ 79 for the Groupon in the amount he charged me. So, now, that would bring my total to $ 429…for 12 photos. Not counting the «free» black and white ones or the 3 «free» ones that were included in the deal. At this point, I feel like he’s taking advantage of me. I was bragging about the photos and I got a lot of compliments on them. I was prepared to start referring business to him. He even asked me for referrals. Based on the work, he’s GREAT. Based on the pricing and customer service. I wouldn’t DARE refer anyone to this studio.
I probably shouldn’t have agreed to the $ 350. That’s an average of $ 29 per digital photo. He said he charges $ 35/​photo, but clearly not across the board. I don’t like feeling as though I am being taken advantage of. I also learned that I should ask how much the digital photos cost before, not after the fact. But, don’t tell me you’re giving me a deal, then brag about how little work it is for you to edit the photos and still expect a customer to pay high prices for that to make up for the bargain basement prices you give other people.

I have had pictures taken at Pixel Studio (amazing job) and referred them to a friend who recently got married. She absolutely loved their services. They have a makeup artist who will go on location. She did the bride and all her brides maids hair and make up. Gorgeous! The wedding photos captured the most intimate moments, they are truly breath taking!
They also did the wedding video, which brought tears to my eyes as I watched it. It was better than actually being there. :D It made me so jealous that I didn’t know about this studio when I got married.
The staff is so friendly and they listen to your ideas so you get exactly what you pictured in your mind. I will be using this studio for a long time to come!!!

I’ve worked with many photographers & cinematographers throughout Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston… and am, by far, impressed with Pixel Studio’s work.
New to Houston, I set out to find a cinematographer to work with for tv/​film projects. After meeting many talented people, Eddie’s work stood out among them all. He has the ability to capture the right moment, whether it be photo or video.
I will absolutely keep working with Pixel Studio for my photography & tv/​film projects.
