Let’s Create a Photo Album!
Helping you make a timeless photo album is absolutely one of my favorite parts of my job. Having something tangible on your coffee table that friends, family, and let’s be honest, YOU can look at whenever you want allows your wedding images to live forever. No one ever says “Hey, let’s pull up your photo link!” when they come over for dinner—but they will see this book and be able to browse through moments from happiest day of your life. I picture the next generation running their little fingers over the images and seeing Mom & Dad before they became Mom & Dad. Ok before I cry let’s get down to it:
The internet is weird, so let’s make something permanent and beautiful.
Step 1: Decide what size album you’d like!
I offer 7x5, 8x8, 8x10, 10x10, 8x12, 12x12, and 15x10 albums.
Step 2: Decide on a cover material
Option 1— Standard Leathers
The Standard leather line is made of genuine Italian full grain leather. These moisture resistant leathers age beautifully.
Option 2— Distressed Leathers
The Distressed leather line is made of genuine Italian full grain leathers and features unique variations with natural markings.
Please note: Distressed leathers are made to show the natural wear and tear caused from daily use. Due to the nature of this material, Distressed leather covers may vary in texture and level of distress.
Option 3— Metallic Leathers
Option 4— Linen
Step 3: Decide cover details
OPTION 1 for leather covers only—FOIL STAMPING
*Front cover foil stamping is only available for Standard, Metallic, and Pearlescent leather covers, and cannot be added to Linen covers.
Front cover options: Up to three lines of text, in the lower center or lower right corner.
OPTION 2 for all cover types—DEBOSSING
Choose a title and add a date to the front center of your cover with up to three lines of text. Select Coco Gothic, Dessau Pro, Eye Catching or Garage Gothic font, in Blind (no color), Black, Copper, Gold, Matte Gold, Granite, Silver, Matte Silver or White for Standard Leather, Distressed Leather, Metallic Leather, Pearlescent Leather, or Linen covers.
*Blind debossing is the only debossing option available for Distressed leathers.
*Special characters are not allowed for debossing text.
OPTION 3: For all cover types—
Custom Designed Cover printed in black or white ink
If you’re not feeling the foil stamp or debossing options, I can custom design a cover graphic that can be stamped on your cover in BLACK ink or WHITE ink. It will not give the dimensional appearance of a stamp like the debossing options, but it does allow total creativity in font, sizes, etc. Here are a few examples.
Step 4: Decide on a page type
THICK or THIN pages with SQUARE or ROUNDED corners
Thin: Prints are mounted flush to a 1/32" board, offering a streamlined, modern look.
Thick: Prints are mounted flush to a 1/16" board, offering a solid feel and a high-end look.
(Both page types lay FLAT displaying spreads beautifully; choice of thickness just depends on how hefty-fancy-thick you want your album to be. If you have only 10-15 spreads, thick is a great choice. If your fav album is 100 or more, we will need to make more spreads, so consider choosing thin!)
square corners
rounded corners
