Albums
If you’re anything like me you probably have a hard drive filled with old holiday photos and snaps from random nights out you’d rather forget. Digital images are great when you want to run off the odd print, email them to your mum and add them to facebook, but I think your wedding photos deserve a bit more.
Present and preserve your special memories in a professional album designed exclusively for you. I offer high quality products that you won’t be able to get on the high street, in classic and contemporary styles. All albums are custom designed to showcase your images and tell the story of your day for years to come.
The Wedding Book. (included in The One package)
A sleek and modern coffee-table book with multiple photographs designed in clean, contemporary layouts. Photos are printed directly on to the heavyweight silk coated paper pages, just like the books you’ll find in shops. The Wedding Book has a unique hinged binding which allows the pages to open up and lay flat as double page spreads. The Wedding Book has a photographic cover and is packaged in a handmade keepsake box.
Album Upgrades
I want to make things really simple and offer an uncomplicated package which covers all the essentials and gives my clients a fantastic finished product. The One package includes a gorgeous high end album that should be perfect for most so don’t feel like you now have to pay extra to get something that’s actually any good. However, there is so much choice in albums and photography products I like to offer a selection of upgrade options so you can find the something that’s perfect for you.
Deluxe Wedding Book
These are the best coffee table books I’ve found and I wanted to offer them even though they are a little more expensive than the standard Wedding Book. Many people prefer the handy size and accessibility of a coffee table book style and fall in love with the fine touches of this premium quality book. The pages are laminated offering extra protection with excellent printing and binding and a superior feel. The Deluxe Wedding Book has a photographic cover and dust jacket and is presented in a red or black slipcase with personalised silver stamping. Upgrade £150
Storybook Flushmount
A luxury, contemporary album, the storybook is a fantastic way to display your photos in a modern layout with a superior finish. Images are photographically printed flush on the thick card pages which open up to flat double page spreads. The standard album has an elegant faux leather cover and presentation box and can be upgraded to an acrylic or brushed metal cover. Upgrade from £250
Classic Matted Album
More traditional but with contemporary styling, the Classic Matted album has a timeless quality and elegance. Real photographs beautifully mounted in a gorgeous handcrafted wedding album. There is a huge choice of standard and luxury covers in wide selection of colours and finishes.
Upgrade from £300
Parent Books £100 each or 2 for £150
Smaller duplicates of your main album make perfect gifts for your parents.
Mini-Albums £250 for 10
Oh so cute softcover mini-albums come in packs of ten, so there’s enough for all the family.
After the Wedding
Photographing the actual wedding day is only a small part of all the work that goes into delivering your final pictures. So while you are enjoying your honeymoon I will be downloading, backing up, sorting, selecting, colour correcting, cropping, sharpening and photoshopping away, so approximately 3 weeks after the wedding you will recieve your disc of fully edited photos.
If you can’t wait that long I will blog some selections a few days after the wedding, so you can have a little reminder of that whirlwind day. Once you have your disc I will also open up the full online gallery so your friends and family can have a look at all of your photos, from wherever they are, and they can order prints aswell.
Next comes your album design. While I am editing I will also be designing a layout that will feature the best photos and key moments to tell the story of your wedding day in a clean and contemporary layout with a logical flow. With the modern layouts of all my album offerings it is important to allow some artistic license to create the design so I will design the first draft of your album layout and present this to you as a starter. It’s not that I want to dictate your album choices for you, just that I’ve found through experience that is what works best. Otherwise normal life takes over and couples can take many months to make their album choices, they will usually be overwhelmed by it, and it usually results in more a difficult design because the couple arent usually thinking about the complete picture when they pick and mix their photo choices. Hopefully you’ll be blown away with the initial design and off it will go to print, but this is the stage where you can add, remove, and swap photos and say if you just dont like this and that page design.
Once you have approved the design I send the files off to print. Turnaround times vary between 7 days and 5 weeks depending on your album choice. If you stick with the One package Wedding Book, this is printed in the UK and should be in your hands in approximately 10 days.
Any duplicate parent books must be ordered at the same time as your main album, otherwise extra charges may apply. You may also want to order photographic thank you cards, canvas wall art or framed prints- these can be added anytime after the wedding.
So, album in hand, that’s where we part, but its nice to hear back from you and see how you are getting along, so keep in touch. I hope you will be extremely pleased with your wedding photography and will happily recommend me to you friends and family. Most of all I hope that you look back at your photos in 50 years time and they bring back many amazing memories of your special day.
