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. It prompted me to write a post in which I said that, to hear people talk, you’d think that only two people are involved in buying a wedding album – the bride and her mother. Same with portrait shoots, I was sure. I couldn't imagine To View More >>

For a wedding, for example, you might have categories called Getting Ready, Ceremony, Reception and so on. That means your clients can jump to the Ceremony images, for example, without having to scroll through hundreds of other photos. You can now upload directly into Categories using the Workspace uploader. Here’s how to create a new Category, and upload directly into a Category using the Workspace uploader. 1.

This week, 'Album of the Week' goes to Shevan J Photography! Check out this beautiful wedding, captured by Shevan's lovely photography. We love the story of how Shehara and Sachin first met too, and the cultural intermix of Buddhist, Hindu and Christian too. "Sachin and I first met  at  my 18th birthday in 2009. He had just moved to Melbourne from Sydney. He didn’t know many people at the time but fortunately had made a few friends in his first week who convinced him to come to my birthday drinks. Somehow, a month later, I was dating the random stranger from To View More >>

We saw this album with photography by Simon Darby of Wanaka Photography as it went through the Bindery. It showcases not just beautiful photography of Kate and James' lovely wedding, but the stunning New Zealand landscape. Wanaka is a tourist and holidaymaker destination, and the subject of much iconic New Zealand photography. The album also shows some of the features that make our Duo unique. The album has a Buckram Carbon cover with Futura embossing. The matted pages are Pagemount style, with a keyline around the prints created by carefully hand trimming To View More >>

Photographs are the most personal of gifts! Talking about Christmas and the holidays in October seems a little weird, but the holiday season does seem to start earlier every year – and when it comes to marketing, it pays to be prepared. The festive season is a great time to promote yourself to existing customers. You've spent all year taking photographs, so why not maximise the profit on each shoot with online galleries, product sales and special offers? We spoke to retiring Queensberry account manager Michelle about her tips for holiday promotions, and marketing pointers To View More >>

Take a look at this gorgeous 10x7 Duo album made by Queensberry for Robotti and Rosa Photography. The Boston newborn photographers shared thoughts on style and how special it is to document all the milestones of life for a family. "I was Henry's parents' wedding photographer. I was so happy they asked me to work with them again after they welcomed Henry into the world. I loved watching their family grow through maternity, newborn, 6-month, and first birthday photo shoots." "We believe classic props and clothing, photographed on a simple background, best allow a baby's personality To View More >>

Located off the shores of Puerto Vallarta Mexico, lies an exclusive private island that happened to be the perfect spot for Chloe and Nate's memorable rehearsal dinner. The talented Justine Ungaro, based in California USA, was there to capture their Mexican extravaganza. Chloe and Nate's wedding followed suit the day after. Both events have been beautifully presented in Queensberry albums. This album is a real gem, and I think you'll agree! A translucent title page is that little extra that makes the album unique and personal. Our Duo albums are dynamic and distinctive. Duo To View More >>
