We’ve been busy tracking down some new albums to offer to our wedding and portrait clients to sit alongside our flagship Finao ONE album. Our priority was to find a couple of different products that would suit different budgets or tastes.

In total we now have three different album options, the second of which being this 8″x8″ leather Kiss book.

Just like our FInao ONE album, the Kiss book is made up of very thick, durable pages and the images are printed directly onto the page so there are no photos to fall out over time. These albums are then bound together with a simple, plain but excellent quality leather cover. There are seven different colours to choose from; Blue (pictured), Red (pictured), White, Green, Pink, Brown and Black.

Each album comes presented in its own cloth bag so you can keep it safe and carry it around with you without risking the leather getting marked.

The album pages also lay flat so there’s no cut down the middle of the page and we can stretch your images out without them falling into a book gutter.

As an added bonus, we’re throwing in two identical little 4″x4″ books with every order. These are perfect little miniature copies of your main album and will make great presents for bridesmaids or your Best Man. You can order more of these little ‘uns though if you need books for your parents, Ushers or any other friends who have helped you with your day. Or if you just want a little one for yourself to carry in your handbag!

We’ll be bringing all of our new albums to consultations in the future. However, if you’re a previous client and would like to find out more about our options just get in touch!

Our third and final option arrived today so we’ll get snapping and post pictures up of that little beauty very soon.

It makes us so sad when photos are left on disk or tucked away in a folder on a computer’s hard drive. We don’t doubt the intention to do something with them is always there, but it’s one of those things that  ends up waiting for “another time”. We’ll put our hands up and say we’re guilty of this too. However, over the past year we’ve made lots more effort to get shots up around our home, or to make little keepsake albums. It’s amazing how we’re much more inclined to look at them.

We want you to be able to put your pictures in frames without the hassle of ordering. We also want you to be able to see your shots professionally mounted so they make a real statement when you hang them up. Because of this we’re going to be throwing in this Print Portfolio Box for all weddings after November 2011, regardless of whether you’ve booked a Full Day or a Half Day. The DVD of all your shots can then be tucked up safely inside.

Our first Portfolio Box came this afternoon and we can’t wait to show people! It’s small enough to fit onto a shelf without being cumbersome, but measuring 10″x8″ it feels very special. Open up the cushioned lid and you’ll find fifteen different mounts inside, each showcasing up to three different lustre prints (up to 45 images in total).

Framing some of your favourite shots from your wedding will be a doddle. And, with so much choice, you can swap them around in a frame whenever you fancy a change of scene.

Previous couples who like the look of these boxes are very welcome to get in touch to find out more about pricing. Alternatively, if you’re a new customer you can also order duplicate boxes if you want a neat little gift to give to your parents, Bridesmaids or Best Man.

We’re VERY excited to show off our new Finao photo albums, available to all of our wedding and portrait clients past, present and future. We’ve spent a long time searching for a feature album that not only looked the business but had the quality and flexibility to match. When our sample Finao arrived at our door from America last week we knew straight away this was “The One”.

The Finao ONE is a Flush Mount album with really thick, sturdy pages. The images are printed directly on to the page so there are no photos to slip out over time. We offer the same proofing service as we do with our coffee table books so you get a chance to check and have your say on the design before we commit to print. Best of all, there are so many varied and stylish cover swatches for you to choose from. The 12″x12″ album pictured has a textured leather cover but there are loads ofother stunning options to choose from including silk brocades, fancy fabrics and vegan materials, with colours to suit all tastes.

For weddings from November 2010 those opting for a full day coverage will be able to upgrade their included coffee table book to a Finao ONE at a discounted price. However, it’s also possible to order one individually too.

We’ll be bringing this beauty along to all of our consultations in future. However, if you’re a previous client and would like to take a look at this sample and find out more about the options just get in touch!
