Next up, a spread and binding photo from Rachel and Brian’s October wedding in Port Washington. They chose one of my favorite images for their cover, one of my favorite brown leathers for the binding and back.

Kelsey chose a fitting red leather cover for their fine art leather album. She and Sunny look the part in a cover inset and this large book has many images from their two day Indian wedding at Woodbury Country Club.

I forgot to post photos of Matt and Jenn’s wedding last summer in Westchester. They went with a tooled black leather and metal cover. The black and white image they chose for the metal looks hot! It was hard letting this beauty go.

We’re sharing a few more images of the InterContinental Los Angeles venue sample here:

Next up, an album from Jessica and Keith’s September Brooklyn wedding – and it’s showing off one of our two new album offerings for 2012. The album envelope is custom made for the album it contains, in the same leathers or fabrics. It’s a beautiful presentation and I’m looking forward to seeing more envelope combos this year.

I’ve also got TWO albums to share from Jae and Susan’s wedding at Stage 6 Steiner Studios. They chose a fine art book rather than an album, and they had the photo cover wrapped book sheathed in a grey silk fabric. When you just cannot narrow down your choices to less than 100 images, this is the way to go. Below that, our sample of their wedding in a baby pink leather and canvas panel cover.

We have a few more albums on order that we’ll be sharing soon, as well as an announcement for our other new album product for 2012. It’s worth the wait!

In the meantime, we’ve got a little guy that wants to keep saying hi.

We’ve long had leather flush mount albums in our offerings and also had a fine art album on the pricelist, and now we have a combination of both. The fine art flush mount album is printed on fine art paper but still mounted in a sturdy leather or premium binding just like the flush mount albums we’ve always offered. It’s truly the best of both worlds!

This first album showcases the new fine art paper option, as well as a new flipbook size that opens up to a 16″ square.

One more to show off the cover since it’s a pretty, fall-inspired combo:

The next album shows the largest size we currently offer (18×12) and also shows one of our cover upgrades, an acrylic cover that shows through to the first page of the album. The fireworks image from Punit and Nishma’s wedding looks perfect under the mystery glass!

Next, we’ll move on and show you Alex and Darren’s beautiful album showing one of our newer leathers, a deep black with a tooled texture. You can also see the gorgeous texture of the fine art paper here!

Another cover upgrade offering, this acrylic cover has a metallic photograph mounted behind the acrylic for a unique multi-dimensional appearance.

Kathleen and Chris’s wedding has been on the blog a lot lately! Here, another cover upgrade in the form of a wraparound canvas cover for the large album and the duplicate press-printed album is the smaller option. The duplicate press books make great gifts or parent albums. The larger album is our normal flush mount style with medium-thickness pages.

Last but not least, a small portrait album choice now available with our premium leathers!

First up is Nick and Christina’s show-stopping album from their September New Jersey wedding at The Manor. They chose a metal cover with a silvery croc leather pattern for the back and binding. This is one hot album!

Next are Nishma and Punit’s albums from their June wedding at the Jersey City Hyatt. They ordered two duplicate small copies of their albums for each of their parents (one shown). They did a small photo cover on gold fabric.

Since I never photographed the two new sample albums I’ve made in the last few months, I made sure to do it while photographing these albums the other day. The first is a sample album from Dan and Jordyn’s April wedding at the Inn at the Garrison, and the second is from Chris and Kathleen’s September wedding Hamlet Willow Creek in Mount Sinai. The albums are 14×11 and 12×9 in size. The 14×11 features some of the beautiful new leathers we have available (can you tell we’re in love with them!). The 12×9 features a neutral fabric and two photo cutouts. The first image is the album box that comes with all of our albums.

This is the metallic-finished presentation box I posted on the blog several weeks ago, arriving with a cloth-bound album. As a reminder, this beautiful album has matte pages and will feel very smooth to the touch. The presentation box also has an inlaid metallic image.

The new presentation boxes for flush mount leather-bound albums are also incredibly beautiful! The entire cover is a designed image that fits right over a black base. I designed the presentation box to match Rick and Breanne’s tropical-inspired album cover.

The second new album product is one I’m really excited about! I’ve been waiting to add this product for over a year, and I’m thrilled to finally have a sample! This is truly a fine art book, and to experience it yourself you’ll have to hold it in your hands. It includes fine art printing, old world hand-sewn binding, and hand torn edges. Oh, and the leather is butter soft!

And this next part I’m quite excited about! This album will come standard with a beautiful metallic presentation box with an image inlay! The box is sturdy enough for regular storage and pretty enough to showcase while protecting your album inside. For current clients with pre-purchased albums, these books will stack right in next to our leather-bound albums.
