Woohoo!  I recently received samples of a new product I’m offering — the fine art guest sign-in book.

When I got married, I didn’t have a guest sign-in book.  What was I going to do with a boring-looking book filled with signatures? Nothing.  Therefore, I love the idea of a coffee table sign-in book that showcases a couple’s engagement photos as well as sweet messages from all the wedding guests.

These books are custom-designed and printed on thick, matte, fine art paper (almost like watercolor paper, but smoother).  The covers are hard with a photo printed directly on the surface. All the inks are archival and made to last a lifetime.

The photos below don’t do these books justice — they are simply awesome and gorgeous in-person.

Depending on the number of wedding guests, the books have more or less white space for everyone to sign and leave messages.

The guest sign-in books are 8×8 inches and 30 sides, with the option to go larger.  Some couples love the books so much that they don’t even want guests to sign the pages … they simply want an awesome book for displaying their engagement images.  In that case, the photos can take up a lot more room and even bleed straight to the edges of the page.

These books are part of my wedding collections for 2011, but it was 2010 clients who inspired me to start offering them.  If you are a 2010 client interested in one of these books for your wedding, shoot me an email for more information.

*All of the photos in the books are actually in focus … I just shot the books this way for effect ;)
