In an era dominated by digital content, why is it important for young couples to experience their wedding photos in a physical album or photo book?
Receiving your photos is the final chapter to wrapping up months of planning your big day. The joy of publishing an album or photo book is like the last hurrah. Experiencing your wedding day memories in an album or book is a special way to hold the meaningful milestone moments and your precious memories shared with loved ones close to your heart. The ability to enjoy and share those memories with others captures the importance this special day has for you both, and a keepsake you can enjoy for many years.
What you should know about our Wedding Photo Albums?
Apart from gorgeous — they are a modern keepsake you can physically hold in your hands. Photos are always better when printed. Our albums are archival quality, luxury heirlooms to ensure they last for generations. We have been designing wedding photo albums for couples since 2006 and know a thing or two about telling a love story. Take a closer look at our Wedding Photo Albums here to find out all about the beautiful cover options, endless customisations and we also showcase couples wedding albums to inspire you.
Are wedding albums still popular?
Yes, wedding albums remain popular for their timeless appeal. They offer a tangible, elegant way to preserve and display memories, contrasting with digital-only options. Physical albums provide a personal touch and are cherished keepsakes for couples and families.
The evolution of photo books.
We have been there from the beginning, well at least printing short-run photo books. The Coffee Table Book was born out of new technology and printing advancements. The ability to print short-run books, even just one copy was exciting to us. We were lucky enough to be working in the interiors industry when digital printing was introduced to the Australian market. First it was digitally printing on canvas, then photo books. Now it seems as though digitally printed photo books have always existed, but we can tell you it only became possible some 20-ish years ago — prior to that it was huge print runs on pre-press printers. We jumped onboard the photo book train in 2006 and have enjoyed watching the possibilities grow to what we can offer today. Physical photo books are a brilliant way to preserve important moments.
What you should know about our Wedding Coffee Table Photo Books?

The benefits of wedding photo books.
Photo books are more timeless than digital photos. Computers and harddrives can crash. You could lose your phone. You could get hacked and locked out of your social media account. You don’t need a computer or phone and a password to access your photo book. Simply pick up your photo book and enjoy. Technology will inevitably change and digital media as we know it might become outdated — but your photo book will always have a place. We love flicking through our own photo books as a family, each turn of the page has you stopping at a photo and reminds you of the person, a place or story. Photo books are great conversation starters.
What gives The Coffee Table Book our point of difference?
The Coffee Table Book distinguishes itself offering photo curation, professional album design, premium photo albums and books handcrafted in Australia, and a tailored personal experience—making The Coffee Table Book the standout choice to create your memorable wedding day keepsake.
What is the difference between a photo album and photo book?
Picking the right product to display your wedding photos is a great first step. We offer two products — our Wedding Photo Albums and the Wedding Magazine. Each has endless cover customisations to make which ever product you choose uniquely yours. We have put together a Compare our Products guide to help you choose the right product for displaying your photos on our comparing albums and photo books page.
Which photo album is best for printing our wedding photos?
For a wedding, choose a high-quality, lay-flat photo album with a durable cover, like leather or linen. The best albums can be personalised, customisable layouts and premium photo printing and rigid pages. The Coffee Table Book Albums offer photo curation, album design and excellent choices for a lasting keepsake.
What is the average cost of a wedding album and are they worth it?
Prices vary based on factors like size, materials, and customisation options. High-end luxury albums with premium features start from $850 into the thousands of dollars. YES printing your photos in a wedding album is worth it! We might be slightly bias (haha). Seriously, we do believe wedding photo albums are absolutely worth the investment. They are a reminder of what is beautiful about your love story. They become even more priceless over the years because an album features not only your wedding day memories but photos of your loved ones. Your wedding album is most likely your very first family photo album and first heirloom. We dive more into why couples should invest in a wedding album in our article on How Much Does A Wedding Photo Album Cost?
How many photos typically fit in a wedding album?
Our base wedding album includes the first 15 spreads (30 pages) and can contain 50 to 120 photos. This range allows for a carefully curated selection of key moments, balancing visual appeal with a representation of the day. Additional pages can be added to include more photos.
Do you include a photo curation and album design service?
Yes, we start the process by curating your photo gallery down to the best 200-300 images to use in the design. That’s a huge time-saver for you! We draw on our experience and skills in graphic design, photography, photo editing and storytelling to create beautifully designed and printed albums and books. We have been creating high quality wedding albums and photo books for close to 20 years and have received kind words from many happy couples to backup it up.
What’s the alternative to a wedding album?
Photo books are a cost-effective alternative to wedding albums. Our magazine-style photo books allow for a more personalised and detailed account of your wedding day story through combining photographs and written words. Custom designed by our skilled designers using modern editorial layouts and fashion-inspired magazine covers for a show-stopping coffee table book.
Which wedding albums have a luxury aesthetic?
We have two luxury wedding album collections. The first is inspired by the minimalist monochrome aesthetics of fashion icon Tom Ford and his two coffee table books. Album covers in black, white, off-white and grey with contrasting text. These luxe photo albums will sit nicely on your coffee table next to your favourite art, fashion, architectural and photography books. The second in our luxe photo album series plays on colour and design for those couples that aren’t afraid to throw a pop of colour on the album cover of their wedding keepsake.
Looking for a unique wedding photo album?
Hey colour lovers! Our collection of colourful wedding albums and unique photo books come in hardcover and softcover formats. Choose from a variety of playful cover designs, including fashionable colours, typography-inspired with lyrics and quotes, and photos intended to be swapped out with your photos for a unique and unforgettable photo album.
