He was a wedding photographer whose goal was to clear “100k in 100 Days” from 30 weddings. (The actual figures don’t matter — they just sound snappy — so I’m not going to tell you when, where or in what currency.) Many a photographer has built a profitable business out of shooting 30 or 40 weddings a year, bur Craig’s To View More >>

I'm going to be a bit pushy here. Our series on selling albums talks about:  — setting expectations — making it clear you sell them, and why! — making it easy for your clients to buy — not coming across as "pushy or sales-y" etc. I think that's good, sensible stuff — I helped write them, so there's that! — but let's face it, they lack something: ambition. Sales-ambitious or sales-shy? Portrait and wedding photographers come in all shapes and sizes, attitudes and ambitions, but one of the most important things that define them is surely their attitude to To View More >>

We saw this beautiful album by DeRay and Simcoe Photography as it went through the bindery. For a little something different, they photographed the album for us! Take a look at their great photos of the main album and copy, and some words about the big day. "Kathryn and Kirk have been the easiest clients to work with since they booked their wedding with us more than 12 months before the big day. A late September wedding, the weather forecast wasn’t great for the day but they weren’t too worried and went ahead with their 'plan A' with no dramas at all." "Their friends and bridal party To View More >>

Mark and Louise married on a really, really windy day, the 6th June 2015 at St John the Evangelist Church in the village of Langcliffe — the same Yorkshire Dales village church where Louise's Mum and Dad were married. We think Jade Doherty captured Mark and Louise's wedding  perfectly. We love the fully bled images, which create a perfect balance and highhlight the feature shots beautifully.  Tying of the gates, a local tradition: The church gates are tied together and coins thrown over for children of the village. The children collect the coins To View More >>

A beautiful story behind a beautiful album. Thank you Andrew Donnan for sharing this story about your grandmother with us. "My grandmother raised me from birth. She put off marriage whilst raising me, so when I found out that she was getting married to Jerry, I politely yet firmly let her know that I had to photograph their ceremony. Ruth and Jerry wanted to keep the ceremony low key, so there were only five of us present. My wife (girlfriend at the time) was there with me, so bearing witness to their ceremony was all the more special.  Sadly Jerry passed away a few years ago, but To View More >>

Truth be told, a relaxed, fun, summer nuptial in the Georgia countryside sounds like absolute bliss to me. Bevin and Chris wed at the charming Farmhouse at Persimmon Creek, and who better to photograph their day than Atlanta-based photographer Buffy Dekmar. Check out their gorgeous Overlay matted album below... Buffy's album design is elegant and well-balanced. Overlay matted albums mix traditional album presentation with simplicity. The pages are clean-edged, with overlay mats. Bevin and Chris also opted for a copy album, great for parent albums and handbags! "Their To View More >>

The weather might have been less than perfect, but the rain certainly didn’t damper Charla and Christopher’s wedding day (rain is actually considered good luck!). Their wedding took place at the beautiful Terry House located in Arkansas, in the US. Their 14x10H Overlay Matted album was designed by the Queensberry Design team and we think Amy Carper from  Carper Creative has done a delightful job capturing Charla and Christopher’s special day. Their album starts with a Futura translucent title page. The paper stock chosen is Pearl Metallic - A warm To View More >>

Knowing my brother and sister-and-law were receiving their very own Queensberry through photographer Kelly Newland I was super excited and couldn’t wait for their album to hit production! They received their album a few weeks ago and they couldn’t be more thrilled. Brendan and Sophie wed at Souljians Estate Winery here in Auckland, New Zealand. It was a perfect day celebrated with close friends and family. Their album has edged pages and protective corners, unique to any Classic Matted Album. Brendan and his groomsmen arrived in style in an old school chevrolet. Both the ceremony To View More >>
