Something old. Something new.

Shoot Vintage. Save Digital. Print Memories.

We love the character of old photographs and home-video footage: the waiting, the imperfections and the stories attached to them. Snapshot brings that feeling back, while making it super easy for everyone at your wedding to take part.  We supply retro style screen-free digital cameras and nostalgic camcorders giving your guests simple and fun ways to capture the day as they experienced it. Your wedding day memories are then sent to you as actual photo prints as well as digital download.

The moments between the moments

Not every memory is perfectly posed.

Professional photographs capture the big moments beautifully. Snapshot catches everything that happens in between: the unexpected laughs, wild dance-floor moves and brilliant unplanned moments. With nostalgic cameras, instant-style photos and retro home video in your guests’ hands, you get a completely different view of your wedding: spontaneous, personal and full of life.

Cameras out · Memories back

From our door to your dance floor.

We send the cameras. Your guests capture everything no one could have planned. Send them back to us and we'll turn the lot into a gallery you can download and relive.

    Send them home

    After the celebrations, pack everything back into the same box. We arrange the return, so getting the cameras back to us is simple. Heading off on honeymoon? No problem - we can collect from an alternative address.

Why Snapshot

Prints in your hands. A film ready to watch. No unnecessary cameras.

We include the things other companies charge extra for, and we only send the cameras you actually need.

  • Real prints, included

    While other hire companies send you just a download link, with Snapshot every camera package includes 36 curated photo prints, posted to you just like collecting your holiday snaps from the chemist back in the day.  And you can still download every photo free of charge and order more prints whenever you like.

  • Your film, edited for free

    Other companies hand over a folder of short clips and charge for editing. We combine your guests' best footage into one easy-to-watch highlights film as standard with every video package.

  • Why we start at just 3 cameras

    We won't push you into hiring a camera for every table. More cameras mean more money but rarely means more photos; the same pictures just get spread across more cameras that you've paid for. A camera on every table usually means a roll of people sat eating dinner.

  • Fewer cameras, better photos

    Hand a few cameras to the right people - the friends who mingle, dance and spot the fun - and they travel around the whole party. That's how you get the genuinely candid, funny and unexpected moments.

Our story

A little nostalgia, a lot of fun.

We’re Steve and Jo, the husband-and-wife team behind Snapshot. Born from Steve’s love of old cameras, home videos and all things retro, we wanted to bring some of that wonderfully imperfect fun to modern weddings. We keep things simple, friendly and personal, helping you capture the laughter, surprises and slightly chaotic moments that make your day completely your own.
