I love it when wedding albums arrive, it’s like the final chapter in a journey, and it’s always so exciting to open the box and see those happy memories in all their glory.  There is nothing quite like the smell of the leather, the feel of the big book in your hands and real prints before your eyes, to bring those wonderful memories back to life.

Wedding albums for me are very personal to the clients, it shouldn’t be full of images I have chosen, but those that my clients love.  I work with each client to produce an album they absolutely love and that is full of the images they want, telling their story how they want it to be told.

We usually get together and choose the images and talk about the style of layout. Some people want lots of large images, others a contemporary look.  I put together a draft album with the selected images, and using some really cool software, clients can preview the album,  seeing how it will look in reality. The software allows comments on each page and then it automatically emails any comments to me so I can make any changes easily and update the online version for final approval. This makes the design process really simple and ensures that all my clients can be involved in the design of their treasured wedding album.

So onto this weeks arrivals. First Emma and James’ album. They chose a beautiful Jorgensen Album, with an oh so touchable black leather cover and stitch detail.

Jorgensen albums are matted albums. What does this mean? It means a real photo mounted onto a page. Matted albums have a timeless appeal, and unlike our parents wedding albums, which invariably only allowed for one picture mounted on each page,  we are now able to have many photos mounted in many different ways on one page. This allows for true flexibility in design and with their beautiful thick pages, turns the album into one to be adored.

Here is a sneak preview:

I have recently had a number of queries about producing beautiful albums of peoples personal images. It seems in today’s electronic age we are popping them on the hard drive and rarely taking the time to look at them. Recent queries have shown that people are realising this and  are wanting albums to showcase their memories not lock them away on a hard drive somewhere.

If you would like an album creating from your personal images please Get in touch for more information.

Don’t forget to check back later this week to see Sally and Jon’s album.
