Restore Old & Damaged Photos in Fairfield County

Photographs show their age in different ways. Colors fade, paper yellows, and creases or water stains leave lasting marks. A wedding portrait might lose its vibrancy, or a family snapshot could be marred by scratches.

We repair that damage digitally, restoring detail, correcting tones, and making your pictures look natural again. Whether it’s a simple touch-up or rebuilding missing sections, our photo restoration work brings worn images back to life so they’re ready to share or frame once more.

And if there’s someone in the picture you’d rather edit out of your history, we won’t ask questions, but we will make it happen!

PRICING

Simple fixes like light color correction or removing a small scratch often fall within a single 30-minute session, billed at $50. Larger projects that require rebuilding missing areas, repairing extensive damage, or detailed retouching are quoted individually. Before we start, we’ll assess the photo and give you an upfront estimate so you know exactly what to expect.


What We Provide:

  • Removal of scratches, dust, and surface blemishes

  • Repair of tears, folds, and missing sections

  • Correction of fading, yellowing, and discoloration

  • Restoration of contrast, sharpness, and tone balance

  • Rebuilding of damaged facial features or backgrounds

  • Color correction and re-toning for aged photos

  • Digital delivery of restored images in high-quality formats

How is it done?

Photo restoration has come a long way from its early days. Before digital tools existed, restoring a damaged photograph meant working by hand, painting directly on prints, using airbrushes, and retouching negatives in the darkroom. It took a steady hand, a sharp eye, and a lot of time. By the mid-20th century, photo labs had specialists dedicated to fixing scratches, repairing cracks, and even replacing missing parts of a face by referencing other prints from the same session.

Today, photo restoration is handled digitally, but it still requires skill and attention to detail. At Remember Whenever, we use high-resolution scanning and careful editing to remove fading, tears, water damage, and discoloration. We don’t just apply filters and call it done. We look closely at the original photo and take the time to bring it back to life in a way that feels natural and respectful to the original image.

AFTER

“My analogue films were accidentally CT scanned at the airport, which ruined the photos.

Just a few hours after I reached out, Paul explained his services, offered a free test restoration, and then managed to fully restore the color and depth of my damaged photos - all within the same day.

I love the results, and it was worth every cent. Thanks a million!”
