Wedding album with linen cover in its matching keepsake box

In the album, your day runs in the order it happened.

You receive the first draft with your gallery after 14 days. After that we work on it together until every page fits. For design and production you have one contact: me.

How your album comes together.

The first draft

I design a first draft from your images and set the sequence of the pages.

Refined together

We choose material and colors and go through the draft together. Three rounds of revisions are included, each additional round costs €75.

Retouching

Once you approve the design, I retouch every photo in the album once more, one by one.

Handwork in Italy

Your album is printed, bound and finished by a manufactory in Italy. From your approval, production takes six to eight weeks, then the album comes straight to you.

I have seen where your albums are made.

On a factory tour of the manufactory, I watched leather hides being cut by hand, covers being stitched on the sewing machine and embossing being set in gold. Since then I know exactly what happens to your images after you have approved the design.

Three lines: Milano, Rome, Napoli.

All three are made in the same manufactory and differ in material, presentation and character. We find out together which one suits you.

Milano wedding album in its presentation box on a marble base

Milano

Milano has the widest choice of materials, from linen and wood fiber to leather, plus finishes as lettering or your own graphic. It is printed on photographic metallic paper or in Canon HD quality. At extra cost there is a video display, so your film has a place in the album too.

Rome

The box closes magnetically with a transparent acrylic lid, and under it lies the album with your mounted photo. That way it stands visible in the room instead of in a cupboard.

Open Napoli wedding album with one image across the full spread

Napoli

Album and box are covered in velvety soft touch laminate, in 28 shades. Finishes are possible on box and album, from embossing to raised varnish.

The three lines at a glance.

The manufactory binds all three with its panoramic binding: the spreads lie flat, without a fold in the middle. So an image can run across both pages without anything disappearing into the gutter.

For parents and witnesses

For the Milano album there are smaller copies with the same layout and no extra design work: as a parent album in 10 × 13, 15 × 20 or 20 × 30 cm with the same panoramic binding, or as a pocket album in 4 × 6, 6 × 10 or 10 × 13 cm.

Lifetime guarantee.

If a page ever comes loose or the binding shows a flaw, I take care of it, free of charge, for as long as your album exists. And if everyday life leaves its mark, a spilled glass or a mishap on moving day, I order the reprint for you at cost, without any markup.

The guarantee terms are in the Terms & Conditions.

Your favorite images on the wall.

The same manufactory also makes wall art on acrylic glass, metal or canvas.

When do we get the first album draft?

Together with your gallery, 14 days after the wedding. I design it from your images, in the order your day happened.

How many rounds of changes are included?

Every album line includes three rounds of changes, so every page is right. Each additional round costs 75 euros.

How long does production take?

Six to eight weeks from your approval. Your album is printed, bound and finished by a manufactory in Italy and then shipped directly to you.

Which album line suits us?

Milano is the modern album with the widest choice of materials, Rome stands out with its box and acrylic lid, Napoli is simple and velvety in the hand. We find out together which one suits you while designing.

What does the lifetime guarantee cover?

If a page comes loose or the binding shows a defect, I take care of it free of charge for as long as your album exists. If something is damaged by accident, I order a reprint for you at cost. The terms are in the terms and conditions.

Can we order the album later?

Yes. You receive the first draft with your gallery and can decide later, once you have looked through your images at your leisure.

Are there albums for our parents?
