Hello to our USA friends! A quick update to confirm that we intend to absorb the additional cost of the tariffs, to support our valued clients. We’re grateful for your business, and we want the relationship to continue long into the future!  I hesitated to provide an update earlier because the situation is still changing. In fact a 90-day pause on “reciprocal” tariffs has just been announced on all countries except China. However the situation as it affects us has not changed since the original announcement. We have never taken sides in political matters. As small business To View More >>

Some years back there was a young man called Nigel working at Queensberry. He was about to get married, and that's how the following exchange got started.

Here's what we've done. Interface upgrade (updated, simpler, more intuitive) Although much of what we've done in this upgrade is "behind the scenes", we’ve also worked hard on the user interface. We've gone for a cleaner, more contemporary look, refined things to keep pace with evolving web design standards, and repositioned and relabelled buttons and other calls To View More >>

We love it when one of our staff members gets an album made for themselves. We spend most of our time creating handmade products for photographers, but we like to walk the talk when it comes to printing our photos. Maddy works in the Queensberry bindery and she's let us share her Portrait Album with you. Take a look.  "I made my own scrapbook style photo albums when I was younger and printed photos to frame. This is the second Queensberry album I've made.  "I wanted to make a gift for my partner, Simba, to celebrate the adventures we’ve had together so far, including a To View More >>

If you love Panorama Flushmount albums, chances are the full bleed, uninterrupted layouts are one reason why. This 12x12 album by  Birch & Wattle of Sydney, Australia,  makes great use of panorama images. What also caught our eye was the warm and joyful imagery of Fleur and Steve's wedding. Yana shared some stand-out moments  from  the day, and some thoughts about their photography business. "We are Pavel and Yana - professional wedding photographers, based in Sydney, who  specialise  in natural, genuine and emotive story-telling To View More >>

We saw this gorgeous album as it went through our bindery, featuring an Elopement by Jamie from Jamie Bott Photography , UK. Jamie told us all about Emily and James' special day. We hope they love their album as much as we do. "I first met Emily and James several years ago when they were both working front of house for a catering company that serviced a venue I often photographed at. They were both always so bubbly and full of life – I remember thinking if they ever got married how I’d love to be their wedding photographer. "Fast forward a few years and I received To View More >>

Recently we worked with Ebonnie Louise Photography  to set up her website, and we had so much fun we thought we’d share it with you. We worked with her under our Turbostart service, which helps photographers with their Workspace websites.  Ebonnie had worked with Olivia Lord Design to create her brand identity, so she came to us with a strong brand, and brand message, which was great, for two reasons. First, we knew exactly what she was after, which made her the ideal customer. And second, Turbostart is not about design and branding, but the technical stuff — setting To View More >>
