ABOUT OUR ALBUMS

CONSTRUCTION

As the name implies the pages ‘lay flat’ to highlight all of your images. This style of album beautifully accentuates full page spreads.
Each page is 1 mm thick and the photos are printed on 255 gsm Lustre paper, which offers a blend of quality and practicality. This paper recreates vibrant colours with rich contrast and has a similar texture to traditional photographic paper.
All albums come with 20 pages included. Additional pages (up to a maximum of 20 more) attract an additional cost per page.

ALBUM SIZES

We have a range of sizes for all requirements, Whether it is your main wedding album that showcases your beautiful photos or a smaller scale album that could be used as a travel book or a gift of family photos for your family.
The sizes indicated below are based on a closed album, so you could potentially have a photo 30 x 80 cm when it spans a double spread.

COVER MATERIALS

Our Albums are created using only the highest quality fabrics and faux leathers. Designed especially for book binding.
Choose from a range of leather and fabrics. Please see the materials page for a full list.
