STORYBOOK WEDDING ALBUMS

Storybook wedding albums are perfect keepsake and a true family heirloom. Many photographers believe the story of your day isn’t truly complete until you have that physical hardcopy in print format for you to view and re-live the day time and time again.

I offer 4 albums and have taken a lot of careful planning to ensure the albums I offer meet the expectations of clients looking for quality and style without the hefty price tag.

Choice is a major factor when it comes down to wedding album specification, with all manner of control over details and personalisation. As a result, I’ve taken all the hard work out of the equation and chosen albums to what I believe to be the best choice for my couples, offering style and sophistication. (You still have control over the likes of colours, images, covers & laser etching)

When choosing images for the album, less is more. I design the albums so they help to tell the story of your day. Once designed, an online proofing gallery enables you to review your album layouts and leave feedback for any revisions.

paper finishes

 This is the standard paper that comes with the albums.

Fits the bill and looks great, with good colour reproduction. Does have a slight texture which is noticeable when it catches the light.

A smooth soft paper with no texture whatsoever. This paper works great for photography styles that are more hazy/whimsical/day dreamy/soft etc.

More prone to ageing if handled with greasy hands.

Smooth and somewhat glossy but doesn’t catch the light like a traditional gloss paper would.

The clarity of the photographs when printed renders perfectly, like viewing the images in HD as opposed to SD!

Lends itself well to the more bold/punchy/contrasty styles.

FAQ’S

THERE’S A LOT OF CHOICE, WHERE DO WE START?

It’s a very good question! With wedding albums, there’s literally an abundance of choice. From sizes, scale, cover finish, page finish etc.

I’ve tried to keep things as simple as possible to make your decision easy and hassle-free. I’d start by asking what would go well in your home and how much you plan on budgeting.

HOW DO WE CHOOSE THE IMAGES FOR THE ALBUM?

This is actually pretty easy and can be an enjoyable task for you and your partner one evening.

All your wedding photographs are delivered in an online gallery where you can view them one by one. Here you have the option to select your favourites which will be sent over to me ready for the design stage.

WHEN THE ALBUM IS DESIGNED CAN WE MAKE REVISIONS?

Absolutely! I encourage my couples to log into their digital proofing gallery where you can view the album design and layout and make sure it’s perfect for you.

Here you have the option to add comments to a particular spread. I’m happy to make as many revisions as needed until we get the album design you love!

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE PARENT ALBUMS?

Parent albums come in pairs and are replicas of your main album in a nice 8×8 size. They have to have the same images inside and paper finish as your main album.

They work out much cheaper than a single 8×8 as they’re run off the same press so 2 8×8 parent albums actually work outas buy one get one free!

They make great gifts and if your parents aren’t expecting one you’ll be in their good books for life! (No pun intended!)

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IN PAPER TYPES?

There are 3 paper types you can choose from. All the paper spreads are 800gsm which is very thick and amazing quality. No more 6×4’s beneath cellophane!

SILK – Fits the bill and looks great. Does have a slight texture which is noticeable when it catches the light. Colours look great and this is the standard paper that comes with the albums.

DEEP MATTE – A smooth soft paper with no texture whatsoever. I believe this paper works great for photography styles that are more hazy/whimsical/day dreamy/soft etc. More prone to ageing if handled with greasy hands.

METALLIC – The daddy of all papers! Smooth and somewhat glossy but it doesn’t catch the light like a traditional gloss paper would. The clarity of the photographs when printed onto this paper renders perfectly and is like viewing the images in HD as opposed to standard definition! The colours look much better in this paper and lends itself well to the more bold/punchy/contrasty styles.

CAN OUR GUESTS HELP TOWARDS THE COST OF AN ALBUM?

They sure can! Guests can order a gift voucher online which will be posted out to them so they have a physical voucher to place inside the wedding card. (I’ve also included free postage!)

After the wedding day you’re welcome to use these gift vouchers towards anything print related, ie wedding albums, frames & prints.

(A gift that lasts a lifetime!)

I just wanted to say personally how totally overwhelmed we are with the photo album and the photo box. They are absolutely wonderful and Michael and I can’t begin to thank you both for capturing our big day so beautifully and timelessly. We are eternally grateful, we never imagined the pictures would turn out so brilliantly, thank you so much.
