A Few Words About
Wedding Albums
If you are like most couples, the wedding album will be
an important element of your wedding day memories.
But, the albums are changing — to reflect modern
thinking about the photographic memories you will create.
With digital photography changing how images are produced — there has been a corresponding change
in wedding albums themselves.
In fact, in recent years, there has been a downright revolution in how those albums are created, printed,
and priced.
Albums must now represent the comprehensive
coverage that quality photographers like Northwest Wedding Photos provides in capturing digital images
of the reality, emotions, feelings, romance and even
the essence of your wedding day experience.
So, the old albums of the past — those with just a few matted photos the photographer liked — aren't as
popular with couples as they used to be. In fact, the
newer albums are more closely aligned in design and style with the new trends in wedding photography.
Here are three of the most popular styles that we recommend to our bridal couples:
“FLUSH MOUNT” Albums
These albums when properly designed, are a true masterpiece. The album looks like the finest book that you can find in a library. The photographer or the album company can do the album design using your digital wedding photos.
Once the photo pages are printed, they are mounted on a rigid frame and trimmed flush to the edge of the page. The pages are “thick” and have a substantial, quality feel to them. The resulting book is then covered in fine leather, silk, wood, cloth or other fine materials of your choice.
The beauty of this kind of album is the control that you have over design and style. You can customize it to reflect your beauty and vision of your wedding day.
It is possible to include details such as your wedding invitation, poems, vows, thoughts and other meaningful text to the design.
When your album is finished, it will present a creative and unique view of the story of your wedding day.
“COFFEE TABLE STYLE” Albums
These are very similar to the flush mount albums. The main difference is the thickness of the pages — which in this
type album are much thinner — more like magazine pages.
These albums look like a modern magazine and are inspired by the look of high-end fashion magazines. They work best when your images are classy, elegant and contemporary.
“TRADITIONAL LOOK” Albums
For couples who prefer a more traditional look, there are several excellent choices now available that reflect the new advances in the art of creating beautiful wedding albums.
High-end albums are offered including bindings with metal, wood, leather, cloth and silk materials.

coffee table and traditional wedding albums from the
