We love getting our wedding gallery and looking through it and reliving all of the memories but then more often than not, those photos sit in our computer or a hard drive, hidden away only to be looked at every year on your anniversary. Photos are meant to be shared and memories are meant to be relived! There really is nothing like seeing your photos printed and it’s even better when they’re in a fine art book on your bookshelf or coffee table
gather some inspiration for your album design from your favorite books, magazines, and artists! it’s also fun to incorporate your wedding color scheme and fonts!

A high end quality heirloom album - a custom art book - perfect for your coffee table or bookshelf and meant to be passed down for generations. The quality of this book is unparalleled and printed on thick archival matte paper and bound in your choice or book cloth, leather, or velvet. It can be further customized by adding special debossing or a slip cover to your album.
Your album is available in a 10"x10" square, or a 9"x12" vertical.
The heirloom album is a minimum of 10 spreads and a maximum of 50 spreads (100 pages) - approximately 120-150 images. Each spread is 20 mil (0.5mm) thick and the spread lays flat for an artistic presentation.
Your album credit in your wedding package includes 10 spreads, most people end up with 35-50 spreads. Each spread after 10 is an additional $50.
Step 1: ALBUM SIZE & SHAPE
Decide what album shape and size you want either the square 10x10" or the vertical 9x12" If you would like to order an identical but smaller album I like to call the " parent album you can chose from either an 8x8" or 6x8".
Step 2: IMAGE SELECTION
You can submit your favorite images through your gallery (there is a "love" heart symbol to submit your favs!) or let me do the choosing and i'll pick my favorite moments to include in your album. If you're having a hard time making a selection send me your top 30 must have images and I'll do the rest! Once you've chosen your images and are ready for me to start the design I will start the first draft and upload it for your review.
Step 3: PROOFING
Review your album and request any design changes you may have. You will get 3 draft rounds of changes and after that there will be a $100 fee per proof. ( I've never had to charge this, most people love their albums by proof 1 or 2) During this time start to think about what fabric/ color/ design you would like for the outside of your album..
Step 4: APPROVAL
Once you have approved your final album draft I'll send you the final draft to sign off on and say it's ready for print, then I send it off for printing!
Step 5: GET YOUR ALBUM
The album takes about 2 weeks to make and then it will be shipped to you through UPS. I'll update you with tracking once it's on it's way!

an image i would select for your album
My biggest advice is don't overthink it! The ones that first draw your eye are probably right.
Telling the story of your day and creating a narrative is important but don't feel like you have to include every single moment or every single person. For example family photos, most group photos taken on the wedding day are for family history purposes but you don't feel like you have to include every grouping in your album.
To choose your images go into your gallery and "favorite" your images by clicking the heart int he corner. Choose between 120-150 images is ideal to help keep your book looking clean and not cluttered. Remember if you don't want to pick every images you can always favorite a handful and I can choose the rest or you can leave all of the choosing to me! When you've selected your images send me an email and I can start your design!
