Sample Book | Wedding

To be honest, I've always thought that the kind of photography I do is best displayed in a coffee table book. I find it's a format that lets me tell the story of the day in the most efficient way, as it's more cost effective to include a larger number of pages. I also like the idea that coffee table books are items that will get used more as they seem 'less precious', allowing you to get them out more often for a flick through, unlike super expensive high end albums which generally get tucked away in the bookcase, only to be taken out at anniversaries and other rare occasions. Having said that, there is undoubtedly something very special about a beautifully crafted high end album, so it was always my intention to offer the option of a more luxurious wedding album as well.

I looked for a looong time for the perfect flush mount wedding book to offer, one that would be classically beautiful, and understated enough to compliment my photography. I had a clear image in my head about what the album should look like, but it took a long time to find a supplier who's product line came even close to the standard I was after. I finally found the perfect album - from Italy.

Album Epoca is a digital flush mounted photo album printed entirely on photographic paper, using a system that unites advanced technology with old world craftsman binding skills. Each album is hand-bound in Italy using an internationally patented continuous binding system, which allows for photos to be viewed and enjoyed without interruptions. These albums truly are works of art and I am really happy to be able to offer them.

Since, due to living so far away, Steph and Rob opted for the disc of their wedding pictures instead of a book, I always felt that it was a bit of a waste not to have their wedding in an album form. So when the time came for me to order a sample book, the decision of what to display on the pages was pretty easy make. I think their wedding pictures form a perfect union with this book, and I'm really happy to finally be able to show a physical sample of these albums to my clients in future consultations. A brochure is all well and good, but it's really no substitute to the real thing!
