We dispatched another stunning wedding album today out to one of our couples from 2010 who were married at Pennyhill Park in Surrey. This black natural grain leather album was hand crafted in Australia and features a wonderful story of their day. It will arrive on Monday, Valentines Day, a fitting date for newlyweds to take a look through their book for the first time.

Here is an image of the book taken just before dispatch in our studio.

Our most popular childrens portraits product is the wall mounted triptych frame. Shown here in an oak finish is is able to show three different images of one child, or a combination of children. With the long panoramic shape it fits perfectly over furniture or equally sits well on a wall on its own.

Our options allow for a mixture of portrait and landscape images giving you the most choice and flexibility when selecting the photographs.

This product photograph showcases a triptych of images from a recent session with a brother and sister and includes a close-up portrait of each and then a view of the both of them together. Given as a birthday gift.

Every Christmas we know that many of our portrait clients are looking to give gifts to the their families of the images we have taken. We do sell a lot of desk framed prints for grandparents presents; ideal for a sideboard, mantlepiece, piano or desk.

Here are a couple of matching desk frames for one of our regular clients able to show-off their newborn little girl as well as their young son to the family.

A stunning canvas wrap arrived this week for one of our newborn baby portrait clients from a recent photographic session. This one is 26″ x 18″ and a deep 1.75″ wrap, specified to fit appropriately where they plan to hang it. It certainly looks good on our sample wall, and I know that it will take pride of place in our clients house.

As they are not local to our Fareham studio it is being delivered up to Surrey where they live.

Hard to believe that I need to start posting about Christmas but for our wedding album supplier over in Australia now is the time of the year we get notification of their key dates.

If you are one of our wedding couples with an album booked and want to make sure you receive it before Christmas then I need to have your finalised album design approved before the 1st November. For those couples with designs already please let me know any changes to the design, and for those who are currently selecting their favourite images for the initial design do let me have those so I can prepare one for you.

Designs are created on a first come first served basis, and we will be dedicating the first three weeks of October to progressing our album designs for those couples who are keen to have them prior to Christmas.

We will be contacting all of our couples after the 26th September to follow up on progress.

Framed prints, parents albums, hi-resolution disks and re-prints are all subject to later cut-off dates as are all of our portrait clients products and we will communicate those at a later date.

We have just designed a new display album from one of our Rhinefield House weddings. Ready in time for this seasons Autumn wedding shows which commence for us on the 5th September at the Botley Park Hotel this album sees the formal introduction of our contemporary storybook wedding albums and design style. We will of course still be offering our highly desired  contemporary matted album’s but for 2011 and onwards our couples now have a broader choice than before.

This display album is in two sizes a 12×8″ (A4) and a 14×10″ both identical in design to enable us to show the difference in image sizes and album covers. We will in 2011 be adding a large 16×12″ (A3) album of a different wedding, and with a different cover, to complete the set of available products.

An interior (bridal preparation details) page spread is shown below and I’ll be updating the site with more product images shortly. There is a slideshow of the entire album on the site linked from Gemma and Kristian’s Rhinefield House wedding page.

This evening Gemma and Dan came and collected their beautiful Marwell Hall wedding album.

This contemporary panoramic matted album features cedar timber wood covers and a distressed mocca leather spine with white leaves.

The book tells the story of their wedding from hair and make-up early in the morning through to the first dance, and live band playing in the marquee at Marwell. Many of the page designs also feature in the display album which is held at Marwell by the wedding team and which can be viewed on our website as well.

Here are a few images of their album:

This evening I popped up the A3 in Hampshire to meet with Katy and Rob one of my couples from last year who were married in the Gate Street Barn in Bramley late last September.

Having travelled down from Leeds that afternoon to visit family I decided to make the short journey to see them and hand over their wedding album personally. The album is a 15×12″ contemporary matted book made in Australia and features a graphite metal cover with a distressed mocca leather spine and white leaves. The album itself is visually stunning and Katy and Rob made a great choice in selecting the materials from our extensive range of leathers, metals and woods. Of course the images inside the album tell a wonderful story of their day and Rob remarked how much it brought back the memories he has of his wedding.

Katy and Rob now have the pleasure of showing their album off to family and friends.

Here are some photos of their wedding album cover and inside leaves:

This evening one of our 2009 couples collected their album containing images from their New Place wedding.

This contemporary matted album measures 10 x 10″ and is encased in a metal cover with premium black leather spine. Telling the story of the day in both colour and black and white photographs looking though the album instantly brought back detailed memories of the day and the couple commented on the clarity and quality of the prints which we have printed in one of the best print labs in the world down in Australia.

We always recommend that our couples consider having a professionally designed and printed album – there really isn’t any comparison and whilst this couple also have the hi-resolution digital files this book will be a central showcase for family and friends.

We are very familiar with New Place as a wedding venue and despite some heavy rain for most of the day their album really doesn’t reflect the conditions with careful use of some of the hotels features, and some juggling of the schedule for the day to ensure we got the group shot of everyone on the main set of steps at the house.

Here are some images of the album.

One of the Marwell Wildlife meerkats got in on the action during our recent pre-wedding shoot up at Marwell Hall for Danni and Stu’s pre-wedding shoot. It proved to be their favourite and I have just prepared a lovely desk framed print for them as a memento of the session. The 9×6″ print is encased in a 14×11″ oak frame with a matching oak fillet and comes with a desk stand.

Danni & Stu’s wedding is later this summer, and this little guy may well make another appearance in their wedding photos.

Here is a photograph of the framed print.
