A wedding album is an heirloom showcasing the love of two people. It’s something tangible that will be passed down the generations to your children and even your grandchildren. It is an investment that has the power to transport you back to a moment and all the emotions and joy you felt on your wedding day. 

 

We offer bespoke luxury albums that are completely handmade with the finest quality materials. You can choose from an array of cover options from linen or real or faux leather in a variety of different colours. Our modern, lay-flat albums are printed with a lustre finish on the pages and to give your album a personal touch your names and/or wedding date will be embossed or printed on the front cover.

The Simple Process

An easy & simple process to take away the stress and hours it takes to design and create your own album. I remember the first album I ever designed for one of my couples and I kid you not when I say it took me days to get it to a point that I was happy with. Having beautiful photos in one thing but a strong design that helps to navigate the viewer through your day in a story-telling way is something completely different. Roll on four years to where I am now and I absolutely love designing albums and giving your photos the space and layout they deserve for you to flick through again and again and pass down the generations.

Once you have ordered your album with us, we will invite you to start making your photo selections via your online viewing gallery. Simply tap the heart button to add the photos to your favourites which will automatically create a folder for you. You can always go back to this folder and refine your selection later if you find you have been too click happy.

​All of our album packages come with a minimum of 18 spreads per album (spreads being double pages which equates to 36 pages in total if you were unsure what this meant). We would recommend selecting between 75-80 photos for a 18 page spread to allow your photos room to breathe and stand out on the pages and have the power to speak for themselves without feeling cluttered.

We will then review your selection and lovingly craft you a bespoke custom design for each and every one of your pages. We focus our attention on displaying your photographs in a story-telling format in sequential order to help your images to feel alive and bring you straight back to that moment & all the emotions attached with it. It’s our mission to design your album in a way that anyone could pick it up and feel like they have a key-hole view into your wedding day. I know i personally can not wait to show our kids and even our grandchildren one day & be able to share the best day of our lives with them and all the emotion and love that went with it.

Once we have carefully designed your album, we will send it across to you to proof check before we send it off to be hand crafted & printed by the very best album suppliers we have ever found (and trust me we have done many hours of research & meeting different suppliers). The company we use are exclusive for photographers and are based locally in the UK and put so much love and attention into every single album they produce.

Your album will arrive at your house in a kraft presentation box and gift-wrapped ready for you to open and relive your special memories and treasure it in your home on those rainy days when you need your home to be filled with joy and love.

FAQs

Albums - FAQ

Should I get a wedding album? 

The simple answer to that is yes. The purpose of photos is to be printed and not to live behind a screen that gets flicked through every now and again. There’s something about printing photos that brings them to life, it’s a way to view them, to interact with them and to feel an emotional connection with them. Ink on paper is how they were always intended to be seen. 

 

An album creates an heirloom showcasing the love of two people. It’s something tangible that will be passed down the generations to your children and even your grandchildren. It is an investment that has the power to transport you back to a moment and all the emotions and joy you felt on your wedding day. 

Can I put an album on my wedding gift list?

Absolutely! In fact I would encourage you to put an album as an option on your wedding gift list. It’s a nice way for your guests to feel like the are contributing towards something they know you will keep and treasure forever. There are a couple of different ways we can do this depending on what supplier you use for your gift list so if you are considering doing this - please drop me a message. We do also provide gift vouchers for your guests to purchase directly from us whether someone wants to purchase the whole album or just contribute.
