Wedding Album

The part of your wedding
that stays.

The day passes, the images remain. At their best where you can hold them in your hands: in an album crafted by hand in Italy.

More than a photo book

A photo book shows pictures. An album tells your day.

An album is more than a collection of beautiful photos. It is a carefully composed sequence of images that brings your wedding day back to life: from the morning to the last dance, with all the moments in between.

That is why each of my albums is created in a shared process. You bring your view of the day, I bring the experience of more than one hundred weddings. The result is a one of a kind piece that tells your story the way you lived it.

From the first draft to the embossing: all from one hand.

The way to your album

Four steps to the finished album.

The first draft

I design a first album draft from your images, with a sequence that tells the story of your day at its best.

Refined together

From this base we shape the final design together. With thousands of material and color options, I guide you step by step to the combination that suits you.

Individual retouching

Once you approve the design, every photo in the album is retouched once more, one by one. Every page shines before it goes to print.

Handcrafted in Italy

Your album is printed, bound and finished in a fine art atelier in Italy, in true handcraft.

The atelier

I have seen where your albums are made.

At Graphistudio in Italy, one of the most renowned album ateliers in the world, I watched albums come to life during a factory tour: leather hides cut by hand, covers stitched on the sewing machine, embossing set in gold.

Since then I know exactly what happens to your images after you approve the design. And why an album from this atelier feels like a book that exists only once.

The selection

Three lines, one craft: Milano, Rome, Napoli.

My albums come in three lines, named after Italian cities. All three are made in the same atelier, yet differ in material, presentation and character. Which one suits you is something we find out together.

The modern one

Milano.

A modern album with a wide range of materials and colors, from linen and wood to fine leatherette. Finishes with a tactile effect, as lettering or an individual graphic, give your album a personal note.

Printed on photographic metallic paper or in Canon HD quality. Timelessly elegant, and on request with a video display, so the film of your wedding finds its place in the album too.

The elegant one

Rome.

This album stands out through its presentation: the keepsake box closes magnetically with a transparent acrylic lid, revealing the photo mounted on the album cover.

The box becomes a frame, and your album becomes an object in the room that stays visible instead of disappearing into a cupboard. A wide color palette of leatherette is available.

The understated one

Napoli.

Understated yet stylish: album and box are covered in soft touch laminate, velvety in the hand and calm in appearance. Around ninety shades cover every wedding color concept.

Finishes are possible on both box and album, from embossing to raised varnish, giving this album a luxurious touch.

For your walls

Your favorite images, thought bigger.

Some images do not belong on a shelf, but on a wall. As wall art from the same atelier: on acrylic glass, metal or canvas.
