Film Developing By Mail
Sometimes the original way to do things is still the best way — in this case, that’s developing film by mail. You shoot on film for a reason. Maybe it’s the process of shooting rolls of film or the unique and satisfying aesthetic of a film print. Either way, film suits you.
While shooting on film is fun, getting it developed isn’t always the easiest next step. That’s where we come in. Here at Boutique Film Lab, we have positioned ourselves as any photographer or hobbyist’s one-stop shop for film developing by mail.
Film developing by mail can be a straightforward, painless, and trusted process. Over the years we have simplified this into a few steps that get your film developed and back into your hands in the fastest way possible — all while ensuring negatives, prints, scans, and more are of the highest quality.
How Film Developing By Mail Works
Step 1: Package your film safely in a bubble wrapped or insulated envelope
Step 2: Send your film to our Nashville location
Step 3: Allow 5 – 7 business days for film developing, scanning and/or printing
Step 4: Film negatives/prints will be shipped back shortly after the order is completed.
Step 5: Enjoy your top-quality film products!

PERFECT! Part of the reason I enjoy film is waiting to see how your pictures turned out. The excitement builds up as each day passes. This time however, I needed something ASAP. These guys did a wonderful job taking a 2 day rush order especially under quarantine. Could not ask for better service 🙂
