Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Classic Image Photography has been in business for 34 years.
What is your primary product or service?
We provide custom and creative photography, including weddings, portraits, school and commercial photography.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I'm Steve Huddleston and I own Classic Image Photography. I've been interested in photography since middle school, and earned a BA degree in photography in 1975.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We offer very personal service, and offer a fun and relaxed environment in order to capture the 'masterpiece' within.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location in the Mission Grove area of Riverside. We like the personal touch, and have no plans to open other stores.
Provide detailed directions to your location
We are located east of Central and the 91 freeway. Central turns into Alessandro.
What type of payments do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, checks, and of course cash.
Which areas do you service?
Our studio is located in Riverside, but we serve all of the Inland Empire, including Corona, Norco and Moreno Valley.
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
I own Classic Image Photography along with my wife Patty.
What are your hours of operation?
Our normal office hours are 10-5 Tuesday through Friday. We are often scheduling appointments outside of those hours also. We, of course, work on weekends for weddings and events too.
What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
It is always great when we hear that we captured something 'special' in a portrait, or that the wedding photographs were perfect and they hardly knew that we were there.
What is your favorite quote or Bible verse?
My favorite verse, out of many, many is from the Bible. It's found in the New Testament book of John, chapter 3, verse 16. "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life". It's just a simple statement of fact, but it has been changing the world, one person at a time, for 2,000 years.
