  • If you’d like your photos looking their best, let us know which ones you’d like enhanced and we’ll provide a quote based on the work required.

    We manually apply a range of digital enhancements, including:

    • Colour correction

    • Removal of tears, creases, and dust marks

    • Red-eye removal

    • Cropping and composition adjustments

    • Other touch-ups as needed

    Our goal is to keep enhancements natural and true-to-life — you can view examples on our Enhancement Samples page.

Ethan and Tony, the Snapshot Memories team.

Who are we?

We're Ethan and Tony, two friends inspired to offer this service when we discovered that the photos of our families were fading away.

We captured and restored these photos, and now our family’s memories have been digitised and preserved for generations to come. This experience inspired us to offer this service to others.

We’re a small Melbourne-based team who treat your photos like our own. Every image is handled with care, scanned at high quality, and returned safely.

  • Personal service – you’ll always speak directly with us (Tony & Ethan).

  • Clear, honest pricing – simple flat rates, no hidden fees.

  • Fast turnaround – most orders are completed within a few days.

  • “I can’t believe how easy Snapshot were to deal with! Fantastic service and they kept me informed every step of the way! They also stuck to my budget! I’ve used other businesses but they were twice the price and not so customer focused! Highly recommend.”
