Albums

We offer beautiful handmade wedding albums from Leather Craftsmen that are built to last throughout your lifetime and beyond.  

In our opinion, there isn’t a better album maker in the world than Leather Craftsmen. We've toured Leather Craftsmen's facility in New York where they build each book by hand.  From start to finish the process takes about three weeks for a book to go through each of the 20 or so different workstations where a craftsperson/bookbinder using hand tools creates each part of the book.  Watching this was very fascinating! Once we saw the process, met the craftspeople, learned of the company’s history and reputation, and found out that each book is guaranteed for life, our quest of finding the company that would build our albums ended. Leather Craftsmen are the album builder of choice for photographers known as the best in the business and they have some of the greats working with them to develop albums like the 300 Hingeless3500 and 8500 series books, which are our studio favorites. In addition to the quality guarantee, we love Leather Craftsmen albums because they are available in an astonishing variety of custom leather and fabric cover options and with natural end papers like Asian rice paper and cork, all available in a wide range of colors.

How to make an album

We love making albums for our clients since it allows us to create the best possible representation of our work for you and your family.  

1) Put $500 down on your album before your wedding and receive a 20% discount on your final album cost. See album prices here.

2) We create an album layout for you to preview. We choose the images we feel are the best quality and tell the story of your day. We've found it is often easier for us to create a first draft for our clients to edit than to have clients start from scratch. If you would like to select the images, simply place your favorites in a folder in your online gallery. If you'd like us to choose the images for the first draft, we'll likely begin with the images from your online slide show and build from there. You can suggest unlimited edits. We want your album to be perfect!

3) Once the layout is complete and meets your approval, pay the balance, and we'll send it off to be printed and bound, which takes about 6 weeks.
