Blue Leather Kiss Wedding Album – Weighing in at 12 InchesSunday, January 16th, 2011

Who says that size doesn’t matter? Photographers have big cameras, big lenses, big prints and big wedding albums. Sure you can get a little KISS wedding album but you can also get the 12″ wedding album in leather. This thing is a monster and I love it. It really captures my wedding photography and lays it out in a wonderful album to be shared for generations.

And the leather albums are available in 8″, 10″ and 12″

Someone commented that our generation is at risk of losing all their photographs. Everyone keeps them digitally and they are one computer failure away from loosing all their family memories. That is why it is important to have a physical wedding album that will last a lifetime and more.

This is my sample wedding album. The book is photo printed – meaning the paper is just like a printed photograph and it is bound into a leather album. The two page spreads are thick and durable. You of course want to protect the album like any other photograph. The album even comes with a protective cover. The leather cover is smooth and soft so you store it laying flat and you don’t want to put anything on the book.

I do have a gallery on SmugMug with photographs of the albums – the photographs can be enlarged to see the detail of the albums.

Here are a few detail photographs to show you the construction of the book. I will be bringing these books along to any meeting with future and potential clients so they can hold the book in their hand and see the quality and beauty of the wedding albums.

The pages are seamless – I still try to avoid putting key details in the very center of the photograph but there is no page break to worry about.

Not sure how well you will be able to make out the quality construction of the wedding album but it is a work of art. In choosing the color of the album I try to pick one of the colors that is closest to the official wedding colors. And if there is not one close enough I personally go with black, brown or white.

Here is an example of the two page spread and the seamlessness – a very cool feature and something the craftsman who make the book have perfected.

New Wedding Albums AvailableTuesday, November 3rd, 2009

A few weeks ago I was able to tour the Kiss Wedding Book in Salt Lake City. They make absolutely gorgeous wedding books. The books are printed on actual photographic paper and bound by hand. I have offered Kiss albums exclusively and that is why I am excited about some new products from Kiss.

Kiss now offers softcover linen bound books. They are constructed to the same quality as their leather albums. Because they are linen rather than leather they are cheaper. So I have updated my Wedding Packages – now the Silver and Gold package come with an album.

And of course albums can be ordered a la cart. They are available in 4, 8, 10 and 12 inches. They are pretty slick. I need to design some sample albums so I can show them off – as well as show of my awesome photography.
