Photo Wedding Book....Where do you get these?	Can't Post

I'm just checking ahead to get my ducks in line and would like to offer something that I have heard some of my brides talk about which seems to be a hot item these days. It's your wedding photos actually printed in a book rather than stuffed into an album. The book has different things printed in it such as quotes, invitation, maybe pages from the guest book...stuff like that! Have any of you heard of these and what are they actually called? Where do you send your pics to get something like this done?

if you offer it, they will come. We are selling quite a few of these a year @ a markup of i THINK 15 dollars per pic(some pages have 4-5 pics @ 15 per!) extra on top of the regular album costs.

Also look @ their wallet sized versions on your album. A bride can keep her wedding album in her Coach Bag as she goes to the salon or something to wow everyone with them!!

Chris,

Wow! Thanks for that link. This is the sort of thing i'm looking for.
So how does it work? Do you design the page first and then send it to them? Or, do you just send them the images and they'll design it for you.

I'm looking for prices on their website but it's not indicated somewhere. How many pics do a typical album contain and how much does it cost? Can you give me some more details?

Thanks
Kiwi

Kiwi, you send them th epics, then you can either have them design the book or you make it online with their java script program.
i am not sure of the final costs but they aint cheap.

give them a call though!

You can get a discount for a sample book to be made for you to use as a studio sample.

They have won many awards for the designs and their style of books.

This is the same place a local "artsy" photog uses to make these types of books. Thanks for the link. This photog I'm speaking of works with his wife and they are very demanding of the B&G during the day which does not really give room to the Videographer even when I see things that could be done for both benefits. This is one of the reasons I want to offer this because I would like to have more control to be more creative.

Check out www.queensberry.com

You get to tell brides that you had to import the album from new zealand!
