Describe a finished wedding album,
We supply 3 very different types of wedding albums, each offering you something very unique;

Our hand finished, Traditional Wedding Albums, offer flexible display options,
enabling you to have a wedding album unlike any other you have seen.
They are photographed, retouched, printed, assembled and delivered by me for you.
Because each album is individually made they may take 12 - 14 weeks to produce
although this may take longer depending on our workload.

We also supply Style Books (also known as coffee table or story books) which are individually styled, press printed and hand bookbound.

and Designer La-Vie albums which are made to order in Japan.
