Laying out your Photo Album

In olden times, a photographer would shoot about 150-200 photos of a wedding, produce small 'proof-prints' which the couple would choose a set number of favourites from.

The photographer would then send his rolls of negatives, along with the notes of those selected to one of the Pro-Labs around the country. A week or so later, these photos would be returned.

Once the couple had chosen their album, the photos would be stuck in place, a Matt applied, tissue paper inserted, and voila, the album was complete.

All the photos would be exactly the same size and your album would need two strong arms to lift it from the bottom of the storage cupboard to the dinning doom table, in order to look at them.

Many people still prefer this style and we are happy to help you if this is what you would like.

The Modern Photo Album
However, with Digital Albums, you can still have an album produced, with all of the photos the same size, proper bound for a fraction of the price of a tradition album. You can even have the prints produced on archival quality photo paper. That's another choice.

The Digital Coffee Table Style Album
Based along the lines of one of the those beautiful over-sized books you can find in your favourite bookstore, these albums have become the choice of todays couples. With different sizes to choose from, custom covers, styles, traditional leather,to the finest of albums from Creative-Album and Graphi-Studio, all are available.

In order to produce your album you still need to be involved in the creative aspect.
