My Wedding and ScanCafe

Over nine years ago my hubby and I got married in beautiful Lake Tahoe, Nevada. which also happens to be where I grew up. It was one of the best days of my life and our only regret is that we didn't invite more friends to attend. Back then digital photography was not as common and our wedding was shot in traditional film {by Scott Wall Photography}. Even though I have all my photgraphs safely preserved in an acid-free photo album, I wanted to have them also stored electronically.

I turned to ScanCafe, based just down the street in Burlingame, CA to scan my entire wedding  album and I was delighted with the outcome. I am sharing a handful with you today.

 

As a professional organizer, I encourage clients to preserve their precious images by scanning them because color photos, slides and negatives will fade in the presence of light and decompose even in the absence of light. Scanning those old photos will also reduce the cluttered stacks taking up space in your closets and attics.

If you don’t have time to scan them yourself, ScanCafe would be a great option. Just send them the images in a box and in weeks, you’ll have an online gallery where you can pick the ones you want (you’ll be charged only for keepers), which you’ll then receive on DVD.

I was so pleased with the outcome, ScanCafe became an Affiliate Sponsor of Simplified Bee - see below or in the far right sidebar for their link.
