You’re engaged or newly married and questioning whether a wedding photo album is worth the cost?
A big YES from us — although 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 delve more into why couples should invest in a wedding photo album in our article on How Much Does A Wedding Photo Album Cost?
What you should know about our Wedding Photo Albums?

Our albums are archival quality, luxury heirlooms to ensure they last for generations.

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.

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.

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!
