When I first started photography I was inspired by the photo albums my parents had stored away in their cupboard, containing all our memories as little ones and important family events. It was the original Facebook – an authentic and private storage of that memory.
Full design services, with every personalised wedding photo album
When life took me down a path to becoming a wedding photographer, and the one important thing I wanted to do for my couples was provide them with a similar feeling. To do this, I had to source a high quality wedding photo album company. I want you to want to ‘pull out the album’ for future generations and spend time poring at it on the coffee table.
I spent years looking for the ideal album supplier, and attended many events with other wedding photographers looking at samples. I wanted something that reflected the quality I put into my wedding photography, it had to stand the test of time. This is where I came across Folio albums and very quickly realised they were the supplier for me.
A quality wedding photo book, a journal of your special day
I’ve now been using Folio albums for almost 8 years, and still use the first ever sample album I ordered at wedding fayres and in meetings. The best bit is, that it looks no different from the day it arrived, and it has travelled! Folio specialise in high quality pigment printing on matte fine art paper, which is designed to be archival industry standard. Basically meaning, that when you pull out your wedding album in 10-50 years, the pages won’t be fading in colour. They will continue to look rich and vibrant like the day it was printed.
How do we order a wedding photo album?
The process is quite simple. In my album package, an album is included. However, I always say that they can be an afterthought too. Albums don’t have to be ordered when you first book and could be after the wedding if you wish. Once you decide you want one, just reach out to me and we can start the process.
At this point you will already have your wedding gallery, so I recommend you pick 150 of your favourite shots. I will go away and edit a rough draft putting as much detail together to tell the story of your day. People always ask at this point how many photos do you include in the album and the answer is as many as you want. The only limit is – the more there are, the smaller they get on the page. You want a strong key image that has impact then you build around that. Extra pages can be added to albums at an extra cost. This can be discussed.
Once I have produced the first draft, I will upload to my online proofing software. This is where you can review the selection and design and request any changes with an easy online system. When you are happy with your wedding album design, this is when the album is ordered.
Then it’s time to wait for your beautiful new wedding album to arrive!
Who are folio albums?
Based in Yorkshire, Folio albums are by far one of the finest wedding album suppliers in the UK. They cover a large range of products for photographers to offer, including everything from wedding albums, presentation boxes through to USB and mini presentation portfolios.
Everything is hand made and this ensures a finer level of quality. Their albums are not factory processed that you often see mass produced. These can very quickly fall apart. The bind itself is glued in a very special way, so there’s no pressure put on the pages with repeated opening. This ensures over time it will stay strong.
If anything ever goes wrong, they are a phone call away. Their aftercare is second to none. Unlike other industry suppliers, they care, about customer care and immediately want to help in every way they can. In the past a client of mine had made a slight mistake, and Folio were able to catch it in mid process and make amendments for us. This ensured there was no delay in delivering the album, and a perfect album was produced. This is the service you strive for, and one which I centre my business around also.
