Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Handcrafted Heirloom Albums
Let’s face it, we live in a digital world and keep all of our photos on our computers, our phones, and uploaded to our social media profiles where we share them with all the people we love. So why would anyone need a physical album?
Think back to the last time you were doing a proper spring cleaning around the house. You dig up an old box and what should have taken a few minutes to dust off and organize turned into an hour or more of looking through old photos, bringing back nostalgic memories of simpler times.
There is something special about looking through a tangible custom-made heirloom piece which holds our dearest memories. Scrolling through a gallery on a phone screen will never provide the same experience.
Wedding packages offered are completely tailored to your needs, meaning you have the option to opt out of a printed album if you wish. The obvious reason is for couples on a tighter budget, however I always urge my clients to look at this as an investment they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Weddings come with many expenses but once the cake is cut and the vows are said, photographs are often one of the only tangible things that remain.
Albums are offered in three unique styles, each one even further customizable with a variety of choices of vegan leather or textile colors, window cutout shapes and designs, or acrylic plate designs. After your online wedding gallery is delivered to you, a full design of your album is sent for your approval where you will have the ability to request changes before your order is officially placed and sent to print.
After your approval, these one of a kind pieces are hand crafted and assembled in Europe. Photos are printed and professionally bound on extra rigid layflat silk or matte pages. A layflat design means we have the ability to print across the entire spread and create beautiful panoramas to showcase your favorite images in the album.
Swatches of available vegan leather and textile colors are shown at your album design consultation as not all monitors display colors the same way.
Each album comes with an elegant box and USB 3.0 drive that matches the texture and color of your cover. All of these samples are available to view and look through at your pre-wedding consultation as these product photos simply do not do the quality justice.
Can’t I just print my own album?
Your contract includes a full print release of the images from your wedding day, meaning you are free to design your own album and print it wherever you wish! However I can say that without question there are absolutely no consumer labs in the world that can offer this high quality of albums – this level of quality is only available to professional photographers. I have spent years looking for the perfect supplier through online research, recommendations from my peers in the industry, and visiting many trade shows – the quality offered here is simply unparalleled. These albums will not fall apart after a few years, pages will not stick together, and photos will not fade as is often the case with many consumer level labs – of course this is assuming the album is kept in normal conditions and cared for properly as is the case with any premium quality product.
Step 1: Pick Your Album Style
Noir
Noir is a classic and minimalist handcrafted vegan leather album available in black or white. This elegant book is personalized with your names or wedding date on the cover. As with all albums offered, it comes with a matching box, also personalized with engraved text on a luxurious plaque. The design is simple and minimalistic, however makes a big impression.
Exclusive
The Exclusive album design comes in a variety of vegan leather or textile materials and cover designs are extremely versatile. Swatches are shown at your consultation. What makes this design unique is the window cutout that holds one or more of your favorite images on the cover of the album as well as on the matching box. As with all the albums, the matching USB 3.0 drive is included along with a classy lift-ribbon to make it easier to take the album out of its box.
The video above of the Exclusive album showcases the 12×12 size with the C5 vegan leather material and T2 cover pattern.
