album design & Specification

choosing your favourite phtographs for the album

• How many do we pick? I’d recommend picking all your favourites and not worrying too much about numbers. If you want to stick with the standard 15 leaves I’d recommend choosing around 70-90. (or a few more if you go for the 16×12 album)
• How to make your selection. Simply log into your online gallery and choose your favourite images by clicking the flag icon over each image.
• Once you’ve chosen your favourites. If you find you’ve gone into the hundreds that’s fine, we can increase the amount of spreads in your album so it features all your favourite photographs. (Extra leaves from just £15)
• When you’ve finished your selections. You can view all your favourites at the top of the screen by clicking the flag icon. This takes you to your list of favourites where you can further narrow it down if required.
• When you’re happy with your selection. Click the flag icon and select ‘Send to photographer’ – Once sent, I’ll be notified and can make a start on the design.

the design process

• I’ll do my very best to include all of your selected images in the album, but to ensure the album tells a story from page to page, has consistency and looks its absolute best, I may need to add or remove images or often turn a black and white image into colour (or vice versa)
• Once the design is complete I’ll upload your album design into a digital proofing gallery for you to view (check your email inbox for login details)
• You can view the layout of the album page by page. If there’s anything you’d like changing you can make a comment in the text box for that particular spread. I can make the changes and re-upload ready for your approval.
• Once you have approved the album, if there’s any extra spreads or parent albums, I’ll email over an invoice for the extras ready for the final step – ordering your album(s)
• Your album(s) will be created and delivered (straight to you) within 14-21 days.

PARENT ALBUMS

• Parent albums can be ordered alongside your main album. Get a pair of 8×8 albums which are exact replicas of your main album. They contain the same images inside and the same paper finish. The bonus here is that they are effectively buy one get one free!
• Parent albums come in pairs But they don’t have to be for parents, they can be gifted to anyone who would appreciate an abum. Where parents have helped towards the wedding, these are a great way to express your gratitude and say thank you with a gift that lasts a lifetime!
• As of Nov 2025, the parent album offer isn’t available with the 16×12 album. So if you definitely want parent albums, it’s worth going for a 12×12. If the offer changes for the 16×12 album, you can of course include 2 x parent albums at the time of ordering. 

album box & usb

Album boxes come with a matching lift ribbon, and you can also add a matching USB to store your digital files safely.

The album box protects your album from humidity and temperature changes over the years, helping it last for generations.

You can choose a different colour for the interior of the box for an extra touch of style — the most popular choice is grey. Neutral tones work beautifully when offset with a lighter or darker interior. (V1 and V3 are currently available as box interior colours, and pair perfectly with the V4 Dove Grey textile.)

You have two choices for your album box cover:

• Two lines of laser-etched text — a clean, modern look without needing an acrylic photo panel to match the album.

• Acrylic panel — featuring your chosen image to match your album cover.

Either cover option can be selected to suit your style.

The 16×12 Album – Bigger, Bolder, Better

The 16×12 album is built to do your photos justice. Its landscape format suits standard 3:2 images perfectly, avoiding the awkward cropping that comes with square albums.

Each spread offers more space, allowing for clean, natural layouts and larger image sizes that flow better visually.

This sample is finished in Raven Black Leatherette with two lines of laser-etched text on the cover. Inside, it features Metallic 1600gsm paper, twice as thick as the standard pages, giving the album serious weight and presence.

You can include an optional matching album box and a 16GB USB3 stick, both styled to complement the album perfectly.

If you’re looking for something that feels solid, timeless, and built to last, this album delivers.
