One negative that joins two lives.
Both In Time on the wedding day. Two exposures, one per half: the first before the ceremony, the second on your tenth anniversary. One negative, two days, years apart. What you see then is not the same as the day itself, and that is exactly the point.
Why Both In Time at a wedding
A wedding produces a thousand images. Smartphones, a reportage photographer, maybe a Polaroid on the table. At the end almost nobody remembers a single photo. Everyone remembers the reportage as a whole. Both In Time takes one image out of that stream and sets it aside.
Two exposures are enough: the first half before the ceremony. The two of you, your witnesses, or your parents can press the shutter. The second half ten years later, on the anniversary. One negative, two moments, years apart. The image you then pull out of instant coffee in your kitchen belongs to nobody but you.
How it works
- 01
Expose the first half
Before the ceremony the first half is exposed: a few seconds in a steady hand. The two of you, your witnesses, or your parents, whoever you choose.
- 02
Close and date it
Then the camera is closed with the tape strip and seal sticker, and the date is written on it by hand. Next to the date sits its stamped number, which exists only once. Nobody opens it before the anniversary.
- 03
Open on the anniversary
Ten years later, on the anniversary: expose the second half, then develop for five minutes in the darkened kitchen under red light with instant coffee, vitamin C, and baking soda. An image that waited until you were ready to see it.
Recommended camera
Rather give a voucher?
Sometimes the choice should stay with the person you are giving to. A voucher arrives by email within a few minutes, with a card to print, and is valid for three calendar years.
Common questions
What if the seal breaks before the anniversary?
As long as the camera itself stays light-tight (the seal sticker is only on the outside), the negative survives. If the inner light seal is damaged, the image is lost. We replace the camera with a new, unloaded one.
Can we test the camera before the wedding?
Yes, we recommend a second camera for the rehearsal. Expose it, develop it, get a feel. The camera you seal for the day is only opened on the wedding day itself.
Who can do the exposures?
Who presses the shutter is up to you: the two of you, your witnesses, or your parents. It stays at two exposures, one per half: one before the ceremony, one on the anniversary.
What if we split up before the anniversary?
It happens, and we do not think that makes the camera less valuable. You decide together or separately whether to open it, pass it on, or keep it sealed. We do not get involved.
