Wedding album design
The album your photographs deserved
Send us the gallery your photographer delivered. We curate it and design every spread; our bookbinders bind it by hand. The design is free, the revisions are unlimited, and if the album is not what you hoped for we refund every penny.
Most couples never order the album. It is almost never because they did not want one.
The gallery link arrives in the same fortnight as the thank-you cards and the return to work, the album goes on the list, and the list gets long — until a small pleasure has quietly turned into a small guilt. So we took out every part of the job that needs energy from you: forward one link, and the first thing you have to react to is a finished album.
What "designed" actually means here
Not a template with your pictures poured into it. A designer opens the whole gallery, reads the day in order, and builds a book:
- The day keeps its shape. Getting ready, the ceremony, the light going gold, the dancing. An album that jumps around loses the one thing a wedding gallery has that a holiday camera roll does not — a narrative.
- Some pictures get a whole spread. Because they earn it. Our pages open completely flat with a micro-fold that runs between the images rather than through a face, so a full-spread photograph is actually usable.
- The quiet frames stay in. The empty church, the shoes, the rain on a window, your grandmother's hands. These are what make a book feel like the day rather than a highlight reel.
- Nothing is cropped to fit a grid. The layout serves the photograph, not the other way round.
How long it takes
Days 3–5
Your designed album
A private link to page through the whole book exactly as it would be printed. Comment on any spread; changes usually come back inside forty-eight hours, as many times as you need.
Then 10 days
Printed, bound, shipped
Once you approve it. The bindery prints it on Fuji photographic paper, binds it by hand in the cover you chose, box it and send it worldwide. Parent copies are in the package and bind in the same run.
Choosing the album
Three lines, and the honest summary is that most couples take the first one.
| Line | Pages | Covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heritage Album | 10–40 spreads, thick or thin | All 53 materials | The main wedding album, and the one that gets handed down |
| Everyday Book | 10–65 spreads, thin | Curated selection | Parent copies, guest books, a whole wedding weekend in one volume |
| Matted Album | One photograph per page | Selected linens | A short, deliberate set of images given room to breathe |
Sizes run from 6×6 up to 12×12 inches. Covers come in Italian leather, brushed suede and bookbinding linen — all 53 are here — and can be blind-debossed or foiled in gold, silver, rose gold, copper, black or white, with an optional cameo window for a single photograph.
Parent copies
Almost nobody orders just the one. A parent copy is the same album and the same design in a smaller format; because the design work is already paid for by the first album, a copy costs considerably less than it did. Ordered together in the Heritage line, the three books are $895 against $495 for the album on its own. Everything is bound in the same week, from the same materials, so all three match.
About your photographer
We are not trying to route around anyone. In most countries the photographer holds the copyright in the images and your contract sets out what you may do with them — and almost every wedding contract allows a personal album. Have a look at yours. If the wording is unclear, tell us and we will write to your photographer directly; this is a conversation we have every week and it is nearly always a short one.
If your photographer would rather supply the album themselves, that is a good outcome too, and we will say so.
What it costs
The curation and the design are free, however many revisions it takes. You pay only for the bound album, only after approving it, and you see the figure in writing first. There is no deposit and no card on file. Full price breakdown, including how it compares to buying the album through your photographer.
