create the story of a lifetime

wedding books

you’ve spent countless hours and
months preparing for your big day.
before you know it, it’s over. you
looked amazing, the flowers were
beautiful, and you didn’t want the
dancing to stop. why did it have to
end? it doesn’t. relive your day with a
wedding book!

a wedding book is a physical
reminder... telling the story of your
wedding.

it exists in a form that you can wrap
your hands around. you don’t need a
tv or wait for a computer to boot up to
see it. after you store your images on a
hard drive and post them online, what
then? those fond memories are
floating somewhere between your
computer and cyberspace. simply
reach from your table or bookshelf, see,
feel, and relive those happy moments
instantly.

you’re probably thinking you can create
one yourself at an online store such as
blurb, mypublisher, snapfish etc. you
can, but just remember, cheaper is not
always better. these online hubs offer
only press printed pages, not real
photographs nor are they archival
quality. other important factors are
page thickness and binding, consumer
grade companies do not offer the quality
of true flush-mount lay-flat micro-fold
binding.

press printed books don’t compare to
the heirloom quality of a photo printed
wedding book. the union of fine
materials and photo printed pages make
this the perfect choice of quality and
standing the test of time!

simple. classic. timeless

Picture
all wedding books are square, with a
choice of leather or linen covers,
boasting thick or flexible pages that will
make your wedding pictures pop!
we design our albums to be classic and
timeless. you won’t see trendy design
elements or over crowded pages. we
want your album layout to look relevant
when it is shared with family and friends
20 years from now.

we love our books!

we sooooo love when our clients
purchase wedding books. not only do
we think it’s special for your first family
heirloom to be a book of your wedding
photos, but we get so excited knowing
ultimately we’re telling your story... this
is your beginning, your amazing book!

choice of leather or linen!

the leather books have a hard
substrate between each page and is
substantially heavier. photographic
prints are glued to each side of the
substrate making each page more
resistant to damage. leather wedding
books are 100% full-grain, natural
leathers selected for their grains,
strength, and quality. an excellent
choice as a wedding album.
Picture
the linen books are lighter with flexible
pages, created by glueing two
photographic prints back to back,
making them thinner and less expensive
to produce. a perfect choice for a
parents book, bridal party gift, or in
place of an upscale coffee table book or
sign-in album.

binding

we hate to see a beautiful panoramic
photo cut down the middle, so all of the
pages spreads are built with a microfold,
not a cut. the binding lays
beautifully flat, so each page spread
can be presented the way it was
intended.
Picture

press vs photo printing

press printing will never stand up
against photographic printing. have a
look at the sample below and see for
yourself. these are un-doctored,
straight-out-of-the-camera-shots of
actual books. a press-printed book is
shown on the top row, the photo-printed
book on the bottom. the photograph of
the face was about a half-inch in actual
print.

testimonial



"hi rick + paula,

we received the mini photo album you sent us - thank you so much!!! i had it with me all day yesterday. i even showed the lady in the checkout line at cvs :) needless to say, the little album is much easier to carry around than our 10x10, which is now a permanent fixture on our coffee table! our parents LOVE their books as well! i know the moms have been bringing their books around to show their friends and co-workers.

thank you again for everything!

allison"
