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.

Albums have come a long way since the old peel-and-stick pages, but they remain the best way to tell the story of your wedding day. Like many couples, I let my own wedding photos sit on a hard drive, promising myself I’d print them ‘one day.’ It wasn’t until my boys started asking about our wedding that I realised how special it is to hold those memories in your hands. Through our album they discovered my mum and nana — people they never had the chance to meet — and asked questions that brought the day to life. An album isn’t just for you, it’s for your family too. It lets them see your story (and the beginning of theirs!) in a way no screen ever can, sparking conversations and connecting generations.


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.
