Custom Designed Wedding Albums

wpid11484-IMG_9432-Edit.jpg

Here at Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema we offer the highest quality wedding albums with custom designed layouts and perfect color and retouching throughout the book! The pages are thick and are printed on Kodak Endura Portrait paper with a lustre finish. Since the pages lay flat and there is no “gutter” cutting the image at the spine, beautiful wide panoramas can span over both pages for a wow factor that will blow you away! The colors seem to pop off the page and the story we put together with the images will bring you back to your special day forever!

Below we have images of our 12×12 “Cruelty Free” Leather 60 page album along with two identically designed 8×8 parent albums. All the books come in a protective presentation box that are perfect for when you want to bring your book over to your family or friend’s house. Turnaround time for designing is very fast, usually just a couple of weeks, and as soon as you approve your online “proof” of the layout, it just takes about three weeks to print and it is shipped safely to your doorstep!

Brides, what are you waiting for? If you don’t have a wedding album from your special day give us a call and we can design one for you. It is the best investment you can make in preserving your wedding day memories!

Premium Leather Wedding Album from Wedding Documentary

wpid11049-IMG_5586-Edit.jpg

Not all wedding albums are made equal; they come in many types, sizes, colors, and materials. Here at Wedding Documentary Photo + Cinema we only offer the highest quality, archival quality wedding albums that will last many generations. Our albums are flush mount meaning that the design in created digitally on a computer and then each spread is mounted to a material which adds thickness and rigidity to the pages. This allows the pages to be easily turned, as well as ensuring that the page does not bend and put a crease on the photos that are on the page.

Our albums are also gutterless, meaning there is nothing lost in the spine. Panorama pictures across both sides of the spread are breathtaking! When you have a lay flat type book like we do, the designs can be more creative because the spine does not become a hindrance like coffee table or magazine style books.

Most importantly, the paper type in our albums is always true photographic paper. This means that the paper we use is actually professional photographic paper instead of inkjet technology on thinner paper. Photographic print paper will never smudge, smear, or fade like inkjet printed books will and the colors are more vivid and saturated than on typical inkjet papers. Special coatings to further protect the images can be applied, adding a beautiful sheen and another layer of protection to your precious heirloom. True photographic paper can be easily cleaned with a soft, slightly damp towel if buildup of oils or if something spills on it. Inkjet materials will pretty much be destroyed and the entire album could be ruined.

Finally, the most important element of the album is the cover and binding system. We offer a wide selection of luxurious cover types including different leathers, fabrics, metal, and eco-leather options. Choose the style that best goes with your wedding colors, home decor, and personality. Being hand made, our albums will last more than a lifetime and the handmade craftsmanship that goes into creating these books is truly remarkable.

Below is our premium level custom designed StoryBook album with a beautiful silver satin fabric box. The cover of the album matches the image on the box, and the album measures 14×11 in a landscape format. The cover choice by our couple was genuine black leather with a photo cut out off center on the front cover. When you open the book you are looking at a whopping 28 inch wide layout because the book lays flat and there is no gutter. Multiple photos are on every page and each photo has been carefully retouched and white balanced to have a consistent look and feel.

A wedding album should tell the story of your day and not simply be a bunch of photos thrown together. As easy as it may seem to create your own wedding album, it can be quite time consuming to go through thousands of photos, pick your favorites, edit each photo in Photoshop, use a design program to lay out all the images and group them together into a story, and then finally proof the book and make sure everything is perfect prior to printing. That is why our clients almost always choose one of our custom designed Storybook albums to be part of their wedding package.

Our clients are thrilled with their wedding albums and for good reason! We offer only the finest quality books with amazing attention to detail. If you would like a wedding album, even if we were not your wedding photographer, we can make one for you. Contact us today for a custom quote.

Indian Wedding Album

wpid3402-IMG_6738.jpg

Spectacular color. high quality materials, and storytelling layout. That is what our custom designed storybook albums are about. They are not your typical wedding albums. These hand crafted books start with the couple choosing the best photographs from throughout their day, then each photo is layed out to tell the complete story of your wedding day. Once we have an agreed upon layout, each photo undergoes fine tuning and retouching in PhotoShop, with additional editing making each and every photo perfect. Once the order is placed, these books take about six weeks to print and companion parent albums complete the photographic package.

Notice that this stunning 12×12 Italian leather book features true photographic paper, lay flat binding with no gutter, and thick pages that give the viewer a very substantial feeling of quality and timelessness. The accompanying 8×8 Parent book includes the same true photographic paper, lay flat binding, and exact design as the main album. These additional books come at a very economical price, making them suitable for most album budgets. We are so pleased with this album, we just had to show you more than a couple photos of it before we delivered it to the lucky couple!

Graphistudio 12×12 Black Leather Storybook Album

Kristy and Chris had such an amazing wedding at the Martinelli Event Center in Livermore, California in May of 2009. We had the pleasure of creating this awesome beautiful and large storybook album with the best shots from the day.

Each spread is layed out in a graphic design program according to your wedding style and taste. We take approximately two weeks to create the album design and email you a proof for viewing. If everything looks great to you, we send it off to be manufactured at Graphistduio in Italy and a few weeks later it arrives! Of course, why would you get just one album when you can also add two parent albums and 3o mini brag books for just a little bit more?

This album is about 40 pages, is 12×12 and has really soft and wonderful feeling leather. I paid extra to have the pages laminated so they last extra long. Nothing is too good for my clients! This is one of the most popular albums I sell so it’s fitting that I have some photos of it here! Check out the vivd color in these spreads and tell me what you think!

Notice how cool and clean the spine looks on this Graphistudio Wedding Book?

wpid2288 IMG 3487 Graphistudio 12x12 Black Leather Storybook Album

The first spread contains an attention grabbing image with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date. Of course I got to get my name in there too!

wpid2290 IMG 3488 Graphistudio 12x12 Black Leather Storybook Album

Alright, I love traditional portraits, paired with contemporary and clean imagery. Anyone like this style?

wpid2292 IMG 3490 Graphistudio 12x12 Black Leather Storybook Album

Save some room for double page panoramas. This spread you are looking at is 24 inches by 12!

We have the main album on left, the 4×4 brag book in the middle, and the 8×8 Parent Album to the right

Here you can see how they all stack up. What is very important to me is consistency and continuity in my wedding albums. I like how the design is identical in all of them but the slip cover on the parent albums make them look just a bit different.
