What to expect.

  • Couples and small groups work best

    Faces need to be big enough to see. For a whole wedding party, a sharp scan helps more than anything else.

  • White stays white

    Dresses and veils stay white, and the flowers, suits and backgrounds take on colour.

  • The colours are a best estimate

    No one can know the real colour of a bouquet or a tie from a black-and-white photo. The model picks natural, believable colours.

Questions

Good to know.

Can you colour a wedding group photo?

Yes, as long as the faces aren't tiny. Upload the clearest copy you have; the preview is free, so you can see how it comes out before paying.

Will the dress stay white?

Yes, white fabric stays white. The colour goes into the flowers, the suits, skin and the background.

How much does it cost?

Previews are free: one straight away, and up to three if you add your email. Keeping one photo costs £9, five photos cost £19 and twenty-five cost £49, paid once, with VAT included.

What happens to my photos?

They're deleted automatically after 7 days. They're used only to colour your photo, and we never share them.
