Some local residents recall having their childhood photographs taken there they recall big wedding groups going up to the studios after weddings at the local churches and family members who made wedding veils featured in the photographs.  If you have any memories of the Sidney Riley Studios we would love to record your story to add to our collection.

Please share your stories in the comments box below this post.
