Preserving creativity in print? It’s our passion.
When you've poured your heart into photographing the perfect moment, you need to partner with a lab who gets it. Behind every Bay Photo product is a team of experienced photographers, artists, and craftspeople who understand your creative vision. Our friendly Customer Support Team (real humans!) are here for you – by phone, chat or email, across the US. As your partner, we care about your prints and clients as much as you do.
Innovating Since 1976
Your vision, our execution. Proven through experience.
Since 1976, innovation has been at the heart of everything we do. From film to digital, we’ve remained one of the top pro labs worldwide.
In a US-based, state-of-the-art facility with the finest equipment available, each order is expertly produced by professionally trained technicians and inspected at multiple points in the process.
Not only have we watched as the photography industry has evolved - we’ve helped shape it too. We’ve set market standards with our signature MetalPrints, and created the ultra-high-resolution Epic Print (up to 610dpi). Safe to say, we have a proven track record of delivering the highest impact.
Quality-Obsessed
We're committed to Print Perfection.
Your reputation rides on every print you deliver. That's why our team goes above and beyond, every step of the way. As creative professionals ourselves, we know what matters most - color accuracy, high-precision detail, and archival longevity. Your clients are paying for heirloom quality, and our team delivers it every time with thorough quality checks and premium sourced materials.

We move fast, without ever sacrificing the stunning quality your clients expect. At Bay Photo, we prioritize quick production turnaround times, so your business can keep running smoothly. With white label drop shipping and rush options available, you’ll be able to deliver on time, every time.
