I got such a great email response to yesterday’s post on my fine art guest sign-in books … so I decided to blog today about my fine art wedding books.
For 2011, all of my wedding books will be made by the top-of-the-industry vendor … a small family-owned company in New York City. All of the books are handmade — mounted, stitched and bound that way. They are printed on super thick paper with a photo finish and bound in amazing silks or leathers. I seriously LOVE these books.
Last week I met with a client and when I placed a sample wedding book in his hands he said, “WHOA. This is LEGIT.” Haha, he’s so right.
Each book is custom-designed based on the couple and their wedding story. I like to keep the spreads as simple as possible … which showcases the images and keeps the fine art aspect of the book in tact. I love photography/art coffee table books … and these are the inspiration behind each wedding book design. I don’t do overlapping images, varying opacity, text, or cheesy scrapbook layouts. The books are modern and yet completely classic at the same time.
Some spreads from Ryann and Tim’s wedding book (this is my sample album. Love it!):
*note all photos are in focus when printed in the books. I just shot some of the spreads with super shallow depth of field, causing the photos to be of lesser quality here :)
I love the sage shantung silk cover that Haley and Danny chose for their wedding book below:
I offer wedding books in 8×8 inch, 10×10 inch, and 12×12 inch square designs. They are either 30, 40 or 50 sides … depending on the wedding collection you choose. Below you can see the difference between the 30 sided and 50 sided books:
Photographers, if you have any questions about the company I use for my books or anything else, shoot me an email or leave a comment below. I’m happy to brag about them to everyone :)
what company do you use? these are gorgeous :)
Gorgeous!!! LOVE the simplicity. Would love to know what company you’re using – thanks for sharing!
these are great! I’d also love to know who you use.
Anda, your designs are so simple and beautiful, and I love that about them. I love these albums they look great and expensive :) Can you email me more information?
I’d also love to know more info about this company. These are gorgeous!
LOVE! f’real peeps. I’ve seen Anda’s albums and they are AHHHMAZING!
These are sweet! Who do you use? Great job!
I second, or third rather, the company question! I’m having a hard time finding a company I just LOVE. You ROCK Anda!
I sample album is so on my to do list, maybe then I’ll feel like a real photographer. I’ve never had a client order one, and maybe if I had something to show them they would, duh! :) thanks for sharing Anda!
Andaaaaa!! Wow I’m so impressed!!!
Hello Anda Marie,
I came across your website & blog and wanted to say how much I love your work. Such beautiful light and composition. I also wanted to inquire about the fine art books you posted on your blog. They look quite timeless. Obviously the layout has been beautifully done, great job.
Would it be possible to have the fine art book info? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and I wish you much success.
Cheers,
Andres
Hi Anda!
I’m loving all your photos on your blog! Amazing work. I, too, would love to know who you use for your albums. I’m in that wonderful phase of just starting a business, and I am looking into everything from who to host my website, blog, online proof gallery, and where to have prints, and albums printed. I’d love to know who you use if you mind sharing :) So far I’m looking at Kiss Wedding Albums, and ProPhoto blogs, but not sure about the actual website…contemplating taking a web design class!
The albums are gorgeous. Would love to know the name of the vendor. Thanks.
Was trying to find a company that would make a photo album like you have here (fine art) out of my own pictures from my daughters wedding. Could you please send me the info because I would love to contact them. Thanks for posting these lovely picture albums.
Hi Anda, I just e-mailed you about wedding packages and price quotes for my wedding on 4/16/11. I would also love to know who you use for the wedding books, they are great.
Thanks!
Melissa
Hi Anda!

Hope you have a great New Year!

Hi, you work is amazing! I love the fine art photo books! I have been looking for a place that makes books that have the pages open flat throughout. If you would email me the details of the supplier who makes them I would greatly appreciate it,
Thanks!
Love this book! It looks fantastic. What company did you use?
What company did you use?
I found your blog recently, and I feel like I’m addicted to it, specifically, you work!Hahaha… Today I read this post and i know it was written a while back. Are you still using this vendor? I’ve been looking for something like this to offer my clients but, haven’t had the luck yet. Would you send me the vendors info? These look amazing! And you did an awesome job with it, too! Thanks :)
HEY EVERYONE! Thanks for all the comments about my books. For everyone who has asked (and so that I don’t forget to email new askers), the vendor I use is Renaissance Albums. So great and 50% off ALL studio samples, forever and ever :) Check ‘em out.
