Love matte printing and matted albums? If your answer's yes you'll love that our Smooth Matte stock is now available in the Overlay Matted range. We already offer a range of beautiful print options in Overlay Matted, including Silver Halide Lustre and Tintoretto, but we know Smooth Matte will be just as popular. Smooth Matte offers that desirable Fine Art look — but being offset printed it's more affordable and more durable than inkjet printing. (If you'd prefer a textured "water-colour" finish go with the ever-popular Tintoretto.) Smooth Matte is available right now through Workspace. To View More >>

There's something so special about homestyle photoshoots. I love how they capture the people in the photographs – this one of Libby, Katie and Bradley by Megan Graham is no exception. When we spoke to Megan about the album she responded with, "Libby was so photogenic, and Katie and Bradley were awesome to photograph first thing on a Saturday morning! We were under the watchful eye of their cat Ed the entire time, who made sure we looked after little Libby. It was such a fun session."  Katie and Bradley ' chose an 8x8 portrait album with a simple Carbon Buckram cover with Bank Gothic To View More >>

In the past, Queensberry's online designer has never had a cover proofing function and we’re excited to announce that you can now proof plain, embossed, photo front and wrap-around covers. You will be able to see a preview in the designer, where you can adjust photos, change the embossing text and see what the cover will look like with your album. Your clients too will be able to see the cover using Queensberry’s fully integrated album proofing. We will be releasing cover motifs, designable and custom canvas covers in the New Year. To see how it works watch the short video below. Thanks,  To View More >>

We're big animal lovers at Queensberry! Portrait Albums are perfect for pet and portrait photography, or even a mixture of the two.  We saw Kelly Wolfe's album as it went through the bindery, and thought you might like to see it too! Kelly has recently returned to photography and is based in North Waikato, New Zealand.  Kelly talks about the importance of having product samples. "It helps inspire ideas when we are planning a portrait session together, and also helps them start thinking about what products might best suit their own space and personal tastes – whether To View More >>

Photographer Amanda King from ‘By the Horns’ lives on a sheep and beef farm in rural Canterbury, New Zealand. Her career took a turn after she took a photo of a "big hairy cow" to display in her living room. Her friends loved her 40x30 print and requested copies for themselves. She sensed an opportunity, and within nine weeks had built up a 16,000 following on Facebook. We asked Amanda about her new business venture, what inspires her about rural animals and a bit about the way she chooses to display her work. Amanda had been a school teacher for about To View More >>

"A day of laughs, speeches, amazing food and a crazy dance floor"- Katherine Ashdown. Jess and Mark's wedding was a relaxed, fun-filled day, at an amazing venue to top it off.

Set in Vancouver Canada, Tara and Ian opted for a beautiful Garden wedding. They wed under a large maple tree near the ocean on a breezy June day. I adore everything about this 14x10 Duo album; the ultra-soft colour palette, the beautiful selection of black and white images and the lovely photographs captured by Melia from Lucida Photography. A translucent title is a lovely start to any album. I am in love with this venue! The Brock House Restaurant is where the ceremony and reception took place. The combination of the charming old house and the ocean views fit Tara To View More >>

Mario Lopez (current TV host on The X-Factor) and his fiancee Courtney Mazza wed in the beautiful Punta Mita, in Mexico at Joe Francis' compound. Kevin Weinstein, photographed their two-day extravaganza beautifully. If you think a videographer getting in your shot can be frustrating, or a little iPhone jutting out in the aisle, Kevin had to dodge an entire film crew, producers, and the army it takes to produce a reality TV show. This beach-side wedding ticks everything in my books. Jaw-dropping location, a mariachi band, a grand wedding cake (created by Carlos Bakery ), and a midnight To View More >>
