Hi not sure if anyone can help. I've been married a few years now (11 years)A couple of years ago we got letter from our photographer to say they were retiring and would we like to BUY our negatives. I replied yes but didn't see why I should buy them when we spent a fortune on the day n they didn't get half the photos we asked for (although the ones they did do were good) anyway they said I should value my wedding photos n pay for the negatives . After several arguments ( think they were just after money really ) we paid as I wanted my negatives incase I wanted pics on the future.
Sorry I'm waffling. Thing is I got my negatives but nothing else) I've tried several places but no one will develop them for me without a letter stating they give permission for them to be developed. Problem is photographers moved to Scotland and I have no way of contacting them for a letter. Anyone no where I can get my negatives printed without any letter ir anything just the pics?
Sorry for babbling n long post x

Has the photograher put a copyright mark on the negatives is this why no one will print them? You can get a gismo that plugs into the computer and will transfer the photos onto the computer then maybe you could put them on a Memory Stick and take them to be printed that way. Or send to an online printer?

Like the ones here:

From what I can see there are no copyright mark on the negatives. There are on the proofs that we also got from when we were deciding which ones to have in our albums.

Im wondering if its because they are professional pictures they just want proof that we are allowed to make copies (silly really as why else would we have them. Hardly going to want pics of someone elses wedding am I?

It was a couple of years ago I tried so might try again as came across pics and thought it'd be nice to have some pics of neices and me and hubby as some negatives didnt get printed and look good.

If not might try and purchase one of those gizmos.

Thanks again. daft really spent a fortune on getting the negative now having problems getting prints off them lol

not yet :) but looking into one for DD as she is doing photography A level and uses a film camera for some of it - thought it would be handy for her to put some of her negatives onto an SD card :thumbsup:

If you go onto eBay and put in negative convertor it brings one up for about £5 I think plus postage is this the same kinda thing or am I looking at spending £30-£60
