{Wedding:: Albums}

Our albums are unique and very special. There are a lot of options that you have and it can be overwhelming, so please let us know if you have any questions.

Predesign or Choose your own images

You have 2 options to your album design, predesign or you choose your own images.

Predesign: We highly recommend that you have us predesign your album. In predesign we will start working on your album within a few weeks of your images being color corrected. Since we were at your wedding we already have an idea of how we think your album should look and we’ve already mentally in our head started the design, so this way we are able to start quicker and design a beautiful album.  We will choose some of our favorite images that flow well and really tell the story of your day.  Now, I do have to let you know that when choosing predesign, more than likely, your album is going to have more pages than were originally purchased with your package. We are going to put all the images we think look best into your album and we aren’t as worried about the size of album as much as we are about telling the story of your day, so we want to warn you upfront that you will have to either spend a little extra or work to get the pages down to the size of album that you originally purchased.There is a good chance that this will be the best way to get a lot of images in your album versus choosing your own images.

Choosing your own images: If you decide that you want to choose your own images you may do that. In order to make this the easiest and best way we ask that you choose images from the entire day, usually a few from each section, including details. Make sure to tell the story of your day and don’t choose random images that will look like they were just thrown in because you liked them. Make the images flow, I promise, you will like the album more this way.

When you choose your own images you will be charged as a per image basis, meaning we will determine how many pages are in your album by the amount of images that you choose. Each album should have no more than 4 images per spread on average, so if you have a 10 spread album, you will choose 40 images to go in your album. If you give us 80 images we will assume that you are wanting a 20 spread album and you will be charged accordingly. Please contact us for further instructions if you would like to go this route.

Changes: Your  album design will be a rough pre-design, so it is not an album set in stone. If you like the album the way it is you will be able to approve the album and purchase it as is; however, you will have 2 chances to make any changes that you would like to the album. We will help you through this process, so once you receive your album and have had a chance to view it, call us if you have any questions. Note, that after we have sent you over the initial design, the longer you wait to get the changes back to us the farther in line you will be for changes. If you wait more than 2 weeks, please note that other albums have now been put before yours and you will be at the end of the album list. We will give you an estimated time line, but it is not always 100% accurate. We always suggest that you get changes back to us within a week to make sure that we can finish your album in a timely manor.

Other options

You do have many other options as well. Above are a few styles. You can choose either one leather or choose 2. You can choose to accent your book around the spine with a separate leather and choose to add images, up to 3. We can help you with your album cover, so just let us know what type sticks out to you the most.

Leather and Fabric Options

You have a lot of leather and fabric options to choose from. These are all ones that we love and feel will look good on your album. Colors may vary because of your computer screen (If you would like to see an actual sample you can come into the studio). If you aren’t sure about a couple different styles give us a call and we will share with you our favorites. A lot of times it will also depend on the image that you choose for the front cover.

If you are choosing a canvas or metal cover choose 1 fabric for the spine and back of your album.

If you are choosing to do a more standard simple album with only leather or fabric then choose up to 2 leathers. You can also choose up to 3 pictures (please let us help you with this option).

The Zumanity Collection (below) can only be used as an accent on your album.

Thin or Thick

There are 2 different types of styles that you can choose from. Choose either the thin pages or thick pages. Both are beautiful, but it is all about preference. It’s hard to see the difference online, so feel free to come by the studio to touch and feel.

Size and Style

Our standard album will be designed as a square 10×10. If you would like to change your album design to a horizontal, vertical, or flip book album you must let us know before your wedding day. This ensures that we can start the pre-design as fast as possible. If you aren’t sure until after your wedding, as long as we have not already started your pre-design we can change style or size. If we have already started your pre-design we are not able to change the style or size.

The standard album is 10×10 square, 8×12 vertical or horizontal, or 10×4 flip book. You can upgrade to the larger book if you wish; 12×12 square, 10×14 vertical or horizontal, or 20×8 flip book.

You have two options for the spine of your album. Either curved or square. We highly recommend the square spine as we feel this looks fresh, modern, and timeless.

Duplicate Albums Cover Options

Our Duplicate albums are different than the main album, but are just as beautiful. You will need to choose which cover material you would like for your album. Your choices are below:

Please let us know if you have any questions on albums.
