Fine Art Wedding Albums

As a kid I was fascinated looking through my parents wedding album. I’d thumb through the pages, looking at the fresh young faces of family and friends that we still saw today; wondering how strange it was to think that there was a whole life story before I was born. I’d marvel at the puffy sleeved dresses, the brown suits, the red carnations, how dad didn’t have any greys in his beard and how mum looked so happy she smiled with her whole face.

And while Albums have come along way since the old stick the photo between the pre glued pages they are still the best way to tell the story of your wedding day. Like most, I let my own wedding photos sit safe on a hard drive thinking I’d get to printing an album one day maybe. It wasn’t until my boys started asking questions about our wedding when they saw a photo on the wall that I realised how much I wanted them to experience that simple joy of flicking through an album ; to see our story (and the beginning of theirs!) in photos they could hold. They can see my mum and my nana, people that they never got the chance to meet, they got to ask questions and imagine the day for themselves.


A book so beautiful you’ll want to show it off

I of all people understand the value of a photograph and even I was reluctant to spend the money; its an investment I know. But its honestly one you will not regret. Especially one as beautiful as they ones we can create together; they can sit proudly on a coffee table, as a display piece and be handed down as a family heirloom. These albums are bound and constructed with traditional Italian machines and techniques using archival quality materials by a company in Australia. They are luxurious and ready to be loved and pored over for generations. And trust me, it will be the most beautiful, special book you own.

The Process

  1. Place your order.

    You are welcome to order an album at any time, either by adding it to your package pre-wedding or after the day itself.

  2. Image Selection

    Using your online gallery, select approximately 100 of your favourite photos (or you can leave the image selection completely up to me and my graphic designer!)

  3. Receive your design.

    I will send you a link where you can view your layout online. The design will predominately use your favourites but we’ll also include any images that we feel really enhance the design and flow of the album/story. On that link you can comment and make changes to the layout. You are welcome to do three rounds of changes to make sure your book is everything you want!

  4. Pick a cover design and material.

    You can chose from the swatches below or let me know if you had something else in mind.

  5. We send it to the printer!

    And in about 5 weeks you will have the most amazing album in your hands, ready to pore over with friends and family.

Or you could even send me through any lettering/illustrations that were included on your wedding stationary.


Translucent Pages

These are the most beautiful add on to your album. Using one of the templates below they can be used to display wedding details as you open the album, your vows or even an overlay of the map of the area you got married. Or you can provide me with files that were included in your wedding stationary such as illustrations and maps. These pages can appear anywhere in the album.


Whether you are an existing client yet to celebrate your wedding day or a couple that I photographer months or years ago get in touch to see how we can get those memories off a hard drive (they make great First Anniversary presents too wink wink).
