The Atelier

We don't simply photograph the evening  we hand it back to you, one developed frame at a time. 

How it works

From first hello to keepsake

01

Book your date

Tell us the occasion, the venue and the vibe. We hold your date with a simple deposit.

02

We bring the film

A vintage-loving photographer arrives with real instant cameras, props and custom borders.

03

Guests get prints

Every shot is handed over on the spot — and doubled as a keepsake for the guest book.

04

Album & frames, shipped

Your handmade album and UV-protected framed prints are packaged and shipped straight to your door.

Kind words

Loved by hosts across New York

Our guests didn't put their phones down because they were too busy passing around polaroids. It made the whole room feel like 1974.

The custom borders with our logo were a hit. Easily the most photographed corner of our product launch.

They captured the in-between moments nobody else would have. When the album arrived, I cried.
