Digital Tintypes | Ambrotypes and Tintypes made from your photos

What our clients have to say about us:

Fantastic Process and Final Product !

"Reading a lot of reviews, it appears that a lot of folks order a tintype as a 10th anniversary gift; I ordered a tintype and an ambrotype as a first valentines gift, having just gotten married in December. Both pieces are striking, and brought a timeless look to the two wedding photos I chose to use. The folks at Digital Tintypes were super responsive, and reached out at multiple times to make sure both pieces would be perfect. The ambrotype truly makes it look as though we've been married you decades, rather than months. My recommendation: don't wait for an arbitrary anniversary date, and don't limit you ideas merely to wedding photos. I would highly consider having family photos and others done by Digital Tintypes to preserve and have a unique display piece."

"All I had of my Great Great Grandmother was a Newspaper sketch in an article. It turned out just fabulous! Great job and something we can now keep forever! Thank you!

Great anniversary gift!

"I had a tintype made of one of our wedding photos to give my husband for our tenth anniversary. It made a wonderful, unique "tin" anniversary present. Great people to work with--they made sure they got my tintype to me in time for our anniversary."
