Having just had a photo restored by Restoring Your Past I would wholly recommend this business. My photograph was dealt with quickly, I was kept informed of progress and costs were very reasonable and results excellent. I am more than please with results.

I had a old but very special to me photograph of my mother-in-law who will be 91 this year, unfortunately over the years it was bent and torn with very grubby markings and writing over it. This has now been restored by Grant Kemp to a great looking photograph.

After months of trying to ‘restore’ or rather botch-up a badly damaged photograph of my grandfather in a WW1 uniform I decided to put it in the hands of a professional. I am so glad I did! Grant has worked his magic on this photo and three others that needed a great deal of work. He has done a fantastic job! He works methodically and keeps you in the loop constantly. The result of his work is staggeringly good and the cost extremely reasonable.

I sent Grant a much valued damaged photo of my sons graduation. He repaired is for a very reasonable amount and was very prompt. I was able to pay through paypal and I am more that satisfied with the result.
Response : Thank you Kathy for taking the time to post a review, it's very much appreciated, it was a pleasure to work for you, regards Grant.

I had such an old, scratched and faded photo of my grandmother, taken around 1890, it is the only one of her as a child, and at risk of fading away altogether. Attached is the proof I was sent, and even in this the little girl has emerged from the scratches, but without making the image look false. The full quality version is even better of course. All done quickly and with contact open along the steps of the way. 11th April 2015I'm not able to write a new review. But Grant has just done some great work on a precious photo, taken in 1975 on a 126 camera. Making it into a tidy, better quality version so I can get it printed out. Great results, quickly done, at a reasonable price.
Response : Thank you Patricia, it was a genuine pleasure working for you, I am very pleased that you asked me to work on your photograph, regards Grant.

Thanks for an amazing job on my wedding photo, didn't even think it would be possible to change the photo to how I wanted it, but very happy with result and quality, I will definitely use your company again, as now I have seen the quality of work I will be going through old photos to see what else I can have altered or restored.

Grant did three photos for me and I was absolutely delighted with them all. The work was done quickly and to the very highest standard. I have no hesitation in recommending his service to anyone.
Response : Thanks for the review, I'm really delighted that you were pleased with the finished pictures, a coloured version of the sepia photo is now live on my website, thanks again, regards Grant.

I didn't think it was possible to make my old tatty photo look so amazing. Such a quick and brilliant service. Thank you so much.

Thanks for all your help Grant, I wasn't sure about the scanning, but your instructions were really easy to follow, and the finished photo is just brilliant, and thanks for making the adjustments after the first print I had done, that really made it worth using your site, cheers Len.
Response : Thank you for the review Leonard. If you need any help in the future with your new scanner then don't hesitate to get in touch, and I will send you that printed copy of my guide in the post, regards Grant.
Mrs Rita May Portl...

I am so grateful to Grant for producing such a wonderful photo montage at such short notice. The four pictures of my husband he combined look absolutely wonderful, especially as I couldn't find any other company to do it within a couple of hours so that I could get it printed in time for his retirement party. Great service I will positively be coming back, thanks Rita.
Response : Thanks for taking the time to post the review Rita, it was a pleasure to work on your pictures. I will send you the quote for the prints that are in the post as soon as they arrive, and I have scanned them, regards Grant.

Grant has just done two photomontages for me in only two hours, and they are so realistic I'm just amazed. I will definitely be using Restoring Your Past again, a brilliant service, and a nice guy to talk to, delighted.
Agnes Beechwood

Just had to write a review, sent the scan at 10am, and the proof was emailed back to me at 11am. The work that was done was simply amazing, and the picture is now printed and framed. I have used other people, and they always make them too dark, but Grant is a real pro, delighted.
Response : Dear Agnes, I am so pleased that you liked the finished result, the photograph is a wonderful image, and really deserves to be framed, so I am glad that I could help, regards Grant.
