Heirloom Albums
I offer premium leather heirloom albums in an impressive size of 10”x 15”. This makes for an incredible presentation at 10” x 30” when open. That’s over 2 feet wide when open!
Your heirloom album is a professional album with thick pages. The lay flat seam allows me the ability design photos that lay across the spread and onto both page sides.
The number of spreads in your album is based on how many photos you would like to include. These heirloom albums are only offered through vetted professional photographers from a professional photo lab.
You are in control of which images go into your wedding heirloom album
Picking your favorites is the fun part! Couples find there are a lot of amazing moments from their wedding gallery that they would like included in an album. The tough part is narrowing it down to just your favorites. While enjoying your wedding gallery, select your favorite wedding photos you would like to go into your wedding heirloom album. You do this by ticking the ‘heart’ icon next to the photo. Your online gallery allows you to save your favorites using your email address. This will allow me on the back-end to view your selected favorites listed under your email address once you are complete and ready for me to begin my pre-design. Different family members and even friends can save different favorite lists under their unique email addresses. Your gallery is fairly intuitive, however, please let me know if you have any questions.
So how many photos should I pick for my heirloom album? For a relaxed and modern design, I recommend you favorite an average of 5 photos per spread. A spread includes two page sides, a left side and a right side. My albums are gutterless which allows me to design photos to float across the seam.
A question I get every now and again is if we can fill each page with more photos than the recommended 5 per spread. Yes, I can fit more photos on each spread if you would like, however designing a spread with too many photos within each page significantly reduces each photo's size. Stuffing a lot of photos into an heirloom album gives the overall look and feel more of a scrapbook packed full of small photos.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Please take your time in selecting which photos you would like to include in your heirloom album. The right photo selection makes all the difference to how your wedding story presents visually. Once you have completed selecting your favorite images from within the online gallery, send me an email telling me you are done hearting your favorites and which premium leather color you would like your album to be. From there I will go into the back-end of your gallery, gather your photos, and create the pre-design of your album. Once complete I’ll send you a digital version for your review and feedback before signing off and sending to print.

*Please note that albums constitute a physical deliverable product for the California Board of Equalization and I'm required by law to collect and forward sales tax on album(s).
PARENT ALBUMS
Another common question is adding on parent albums. Some couples would like to send a copy of their heirloom album as a thank you gift to their parents, grandparents, or a special person in their life. Provided the duplicate album is an exact copy with no design changes, I am able to extend my professional print lab's companion-album-discount and offer $75 off per each duplicate album.
