Photo Restoration
and Colourising
Welcome to the MiniAperture Photo Restoration Service! Whether it's a vintage portrait, a faded wedding photograph, or a black-and-white family snapshot, giving your memories a new lease of life is a gift to be treasured for a lifetime. Using the latest technology and a little artistic licensing, I digitally repair, enhance and hand-paint your photos with beautiful colour. The whole process is digital, which means your original photographs are completely untouched.
Simply send me an email with a scanned copy of your photos for a free quote. Or scroll down to find out more.
Prices & Next Steps
Subject/Photo | Restoration & Enhancement | Plus colour |

1-2 people with a simple background (in a studio with a professional backdrop, etc). | From £35 | From £40 |

8+ people, or a large image with a complex subject (ie aerial image or landscape, etc). | From £70 | From £75 |
Getting started is easy - simply send me a good quality scanned copy of your precious photos via email. Once received, I'll provide you with a personalised quote.
If you're happy with the proposal and ready to proceed, I kindly request settling the invoice before I can commence the restoration. Your restored memories will be sent back to you swiftly via email once the transformation is complete, a process that typically takes a maximum 5-10 working days from the date of payment.
Please keep in mind that your beautifully restored image will be delivered digitally as a JPEG file. I don't provide physical prints as this offers you more freedom to choose your preferred printing and framing service and at the size or format that you want.
The prices above are based on photos that are in good to fair condition. Photos with more extensive areas of damage or in more than one piece will cost more.
Trust MiniAperture to breathe new life into your photos – because every picture tells a story worth preserving!
