A wedding photograph from decades ago, restored and brought to life

Why it works as a gift

It is not an object. It is the thing they already own, made watchable.

01
You can still make it tonight
Thirty to ninety minutes from paying to watching. Nothing to ship and nothing to arrive late — useful if the date crept up on you.
02
The oldest photographs come back best
The creased wedding portrait, the faded honeymoon roll, the black-and-white one nobody has ever seen in colour. Repaired, coloured, sharpened, then gently brought to life.
03
Priced per photograph
$25.00 for 20 photographs up to $60.00 for 48. Paid once. A longer marriage is welcome to a longer film.

Their whole marriage is in a box on top of the wardrobe.

The wedding album, the envelope of holiday prints, the loose photographs nobody ever put anywhere. Decades of a life together, stored in the dark and looked at almost never. This is the one occasion that genuinely deserves opening it — and the film gives it back to them in an order that makes sense.

Who this is for

Usually the children, occasionally the couple themselves.

A fiftieth or sixtieth, where a speech is expected and nobody wants to make one.
Parents who have everything and want nothing, which is most parents.
A surprise at a family dinner, made in secret the night before.
Your own anniversary, for the person who was there for all of it.

What you do

Choose the photographs. That is genuinely all of it.

1
Go through the albums together, or in secret
Photograph the old prints with your phone if they were never scanned. Then drag 20 to 48 of them into the order the years actually ran.
2
Choose their song
From the library, or upload the one from the first dance. A short dedication opens the film with both their names.
3
Play it at dinner
It arrives by email within 30 to 90 minutes, ready for a phone, a laptop or the television.

What one looks like

Ordinary family photographs — some damaged, some black and white — as they come back.

Questions

Is this for our own anniversary or for our parents?

Both work, and parents are the more common. A fiftieth is the one people most often want, because that is the marriage with the most photographs and the worst-kept album.

Our photographs are prints in a box.

Photograph them with your phone, straight out of the album. Imperfect lighting and a little glare are fine — the restoration handles considerably worse.

Can we use our own song?

Yes. Upload it and it becomes the soundtrack, or choose from the library if you would rather not decide.

What does it cost?

Per photograph: $25.00 for 20, up to $60.00 for 48. Every film gets the same quality and the same features. Pay once, no subscription.
