Whether it’s a wedding photo, a beloved pet, or a timeless landscape, we bring your images to life with precision, depth, and a touch of artistry.
Our Story
Burnt Toast UK was founded by Paul Kitchener, an international award-winning photographer and the creative force behind PEAK Image Photography. With decades of experience behind the lens, Paul has a unique eye for capturing emotion and detail — and now, he’s bringing that same passion to the world of laser engraving.
What started as a love for storytelling through photography has evolved into a studio where photographic artistry meets cutting-edge technology. Paul’s vision was simple: to give people a new way to experience their favourite photos — not just on screens or paper, but permanently engraved onto wood, acrylic, slate, leather, and more.
Why Burnt Toast?
The name? A playful nod to the process — using intense heat and laser precision to “burn” an image into a surface. It’s about craftsmanship, character, and creating something unexpected from the ordinary.
Every piece we create is custom-made, hand-finished, and designed with care. Whether you’re after a one-of-a-kind gift, a memorial keepsake, or standout wall art for your home or business, we’ll work with you to make sure it’s something truly special.
