The wedding album cover is one of the most important features of the wedding photo book
The cover not only protects the photos within the book, it also enhances the entire book itself. Even without opening the book, the wedding album cover can begin to tell the story that is waiting to be revealed in the photos that lay across the pages behind the cover.
And photo books and covers aren’t just for weddings, they are also ideal for events, engagements, portraits, and virtually any story that can be told in a collection pictures. The wedding album cover is always a unique design that may include a cover image, text, and the choice and color of materials for the spine and back.
Like the wedding album cover, the book itself will also contain a unique design and layout of photos, usually in a storytelling and artistic fashion. The photos themselves are selected by either the client or photographer (myself), or both of us. The pages of the photos will be created with the choice of thick or rigid pages to ensure durability, and printed using the finest archival paper in a choice of finishes. Paper finishes include textured, photographic, metallic, or pearl.
The layout and design of the photo book is created in my San Diego photography studio, and the final production of the album is made by the world’s leading wedding book company, and the one that in fact started modern way of making fine wedding books, GraphiStudio of Italy.
