Wedding Albums Explained

Heirlooms

Making sure that all of our couples have a wedding album is one of my favorite parts about being a wedding photographer. There’s nothing like creating a tangible heirloom for a newly married couple, knowing that they’ll be able to pass their album on to future generations some day. I truly believe that your photos shouldn’t live on your phone. Photos should be printed! They should hang on your walls, reminding you of all the special moments in your life, and they should also be kept in an album so that you can pass down your wedding album to your children and grandchildren to treasure forever.

All of our albums are flush mount, so the images are printed directly on photographic paper. Flush mount albums are the current standard in the wedding industry and they are gorgeous! The albums are layflat, so the pages will lay flat no matter which spread you open up to, and you’ll hardly notice the tiny gutter. Albums come in three sizes: 8″x8″, 10″x10″, and 12″x12″. All of our albums are custom, so they include however many pages you’d like, and you can also create a 2-volume album to ensure your love story is told in detail. Wondering about the covers? Read on!

Linen, Leather or Velvet – it’s up to you!

We’re proud to offer a wonderful array of cover options for your album. From linen to leather to velvet, the options are all beautiful and each one is prettier than the last.

The Linen Album

The linen album is wrapped in an elegant yet durable linen bookcloth. A linen album is included in all of our collections and I love that, while less formal leather or velvet, the linen album is just as sophisticated.

The Velvet Album

The velvet album is so soft to the touch! You can’t help but want to touch this album the second you see it. The distinctly soft feel has a water repellent finish, and the material is extra-heavy duty double rub tested for durability.

The Leather Album

The leather album is made with old world craftsmanship and is covered in an array of luxurious leathers. This book has a more formal feel to it so it’s perfect for couples who want their album to be a statement piece. Our standard leather line is moisture resistant and made of genuine Italian full grain leather that ages beautifully.

The Design Process

Each album comes with a custom design appointment to make sure your album design takes just a couple of hours, not weeks of weeks of back-and-forth emails. You’ll hop on a video call with my design team and see your album come to life right in front of your eyes. You’ll work with the designer one-on-one and make any requests right then and there. Your album will be custom to YOU!

No matter which cover option and layouts you choose, you can be sure that your album will be beautiful and allow you to re-live your memories over and over again! I can’t wait to see how you customize your album and make it uniquely yours!
