TINTYPE PHOTOGRAPHY
TINTYPE Wedding PHOTOGRAPHY
At Folklore Wedding Company, we create wedding portraits that are more than just photographs—they’re heirlooms. Tintype photography uses techniques from the 19th century to craft images with a depth and character that digital photography simply can't replicate.
Each tintype portrait becomes a piece of art. Every subtle imperfection, every detail etched into the metal, tells a story—your story. In a world of fleeting images, a tintype is a tangible piece of your love, crafted to be cherished for a lifetime. With its rich textures and handcrafted nature, this process creates wedding portraits unlike any other, preserving your most meaningful moments in a form that stands the test of time.
Whether created on-site during your celebration or from a carefully selected digital image, our tintypes preserve your love story in an intimate and timeless way.
Add a unique touch to your celebration with our Tintype Photobooth experience. Guests can sit for a handcrafted tintype portrait, creating a one-of-a-kind memento of your wedding.

What do we receive?
What are the space requirements?
How long does each plate take to make?
Each plate takes roughly 10 minutes to frame the shot and develop exposure.
For natural light portraits, it's ideal to have a space that is out of direct sun but not too dark. But there are ways to still get good results in all lighting situations.
For the photobooth, we need a 10x10 space and a power outlet on its own circuit.
We also have a darkroom requirement, such as a nearby room, closet, or walk-in with no windows or with windows that can be covered. If this isn't available, we have a darkroom tent to set up anywhere in the shade.
You will receive both the physical plate and a high-resolution digital scan that can be shared online or used to make prints.
Chemistry & Unique Results
Kids & Animals
When are tintypes delivered?
The full process after the photos are exposed can take a few days (plates need to be rinsed, scanned and vanished) Links to scans are set one week after the wedding, and plates are all mailed out to newlyweds within 1 month. It’s up to the couple to get images to all family & guests.
When working with natural light, the exposure time can be between 1 to 4 seconds, so It can be hard to get young children and animals to be crisp in the images, But if we are seeing up our lights for the Photo Booth, this gives us a very fast exposure time that is perfect to capturing our moving lil people and animals.
With the nature of the medium & chemistry, results can have a wide range of unique artifacts that bring part of the charm to the image, while sometimes we will end up with flawless plates, sometimes we will end up with unique artifacts on the images. Note that we will always have the option for a digital to Tinype print if a more perfect plate is wanted.
Digital To Tintype Prints
We always aim to create original tintype prints on your wedding day to capture the magic in its most authentic form. However, if challenges such as time constraints or other factors arise, our digital-to-tintype prints offer the perfect backup solution.
With this option, we can transform your favourite digital wedding photos into stunning 8x10 tintype prints, ensuring you don’t miss out on having a timeless, handcrafted keepsake.
As a gift, you’ll also receive all the digital photos taken during the wedding, allowing you to enjoy both the convenience of modern photography and the lasting charm of classic tintypes.
