As an Artist & Designer, I pride myself for having an eye for quality and timeless beauty. I have searched high and low to find the finest Albums at the most reasonable prices. My idea of an album is a book that well preserves photos for years to come & is a work of art in itself.
Below are some of the quality professional albums I recommend as an Artist.

In designing your wedding album there are a variety of options available. The best route is to give us an idea of your budget and what your hopes are for your album, and we can find you the best choice of album that fits in your budget and with your style.

What is involved in creating a Wedding Album?

You need- an Album, Prints, & Creative Inspiration

Step one: Pick out an album that suits your needs & desires, will properly preserve your prints and fits in your budget
Step Two: Choose the Images you want in your album
Traditional Mated or Flush Mount Album choices need to be taken into consideration
Step Three:
If Traditional Matted Album-
Plan Layout & Album design then insert prints into selected Mats and secure
If Flush Mount Style-
Plan Layout & Album design. Images may be overlapped, have transperancies & background images, Lay all these images out according to desired effect. Then mount prints to Flush Mount Pages. These pages can also be printed as an entire page when using digital files. Often having an album company complete this process includes a protective coating over entire page.

What is a Professional Wedding Album?

Perhaps it is easier to describe what a professional album is not. It is not an inexpensive 3 ring 100 page magnetic book, a postbound scrapbook, or a simple 3 1/2x5 or 4x6 pocket style camera store album. Any of these items of which you can get at Walmart or any other general store. Rather, it is an album that accepts all sizes of professional prints from 10x10 to 3 1/2x5, mounted into a matted page or flush mounted on an archival page, and viewed without the need to turn the album sideways.

There are basically two types of Professional Albums, Traditional Matted and Flush Mount, or Art book style, of which have become very popular.

The two types of bound book type albums are available through high end professional studios. One is an actual library book where the pages are custom designed and are bound into the book's spline. Generally these albums are the most expensive. The second type of book has a one piece cover that accepts individual pages into its spine recievers. If the page edges are gilded gold or silver, it is hard to tell this album from a fully bound book since both have an elegant block look to them.

Traditional Matted Albums have the prints mounted in mats, then placed in Leaves (pages), photo-corners can also be used to mount your prints in the desired location on the page. Prints can be removed from the album, repositioned, or often times prints can be added to an album.

Flush mount albums have a design layout of the prints for each specific page printed & mounted on the Leaves(pages), you can also mount individual prints in this way in the desired layout. Once the prints are mounted they are permanent. They can not be removed from the album, it is more like a bound book with pictures. Some Flush mount Albums give you the flexibility to add or remove leaves, these are not bound books.

What cover material should I choose?
While leather is quite luxurious and many people choose leather, you should take the care of your photographs in mind. Leather is reported to have the potential of harming your photographs, due to its tanning process. Leather can also be prone to mold growth if exposed to long-term humidity. If your concern is making your photographs last a very long time, you may consider an archival type cover, utilizing the finest in Japanese, Belgian or Itailian bookbinders cloth.
