FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR WEDDING DAY ALL OVER AGAIN

YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HIDDEN AWAY on a usb or up in the cloud. your wedding day IMAGES CAPTURE not only your love story, but YOUR IMPORTANT LOVED ONES AND JOYFUL MEANINGFUL MEMORIES THAT SHOULD BE ENJOYED AND SHARED.

Why should you invest in a wedding album? Because technology is changing rapidly and can fail. Whereas a photo album with your wedding photos is a tangible keepsake you'll get to enjoy forever.


The Coffee Table Book has been creating albums for just shy of 20 years. In that time, we have witnessed professional photographers transition from shooting rolls of film to digital.

It also wasn't that long ago photographers switched from delivering images on CDs to DVDs to USBs in quick succession, and now online galleries. Computers don't even have DVD drives anymore. That tells us something about the direction of photo storage — it's always changing and fast!

Printed photographs will exist long after the media becomes obsolete or the harddrive fails.

With the evolution of the modern photo album, people are returning to printing their photos. We have always felt the tactile experience of enjoying printed photographs is more wonderful and meaningful. Plus bringing out the photo album makes for a great conversation starter.

Photo albums provide the perfect way to pull a series of your treasured memories together in one place to rekindle your special day.

The luxurious quality and feel of the fine art wedding album makes them the best wedding album Australia has to offer. There are a number of tasteful cover options in neutrals to bright colours. Endless customisations for a truly unique finish to ensure your wedding album is worthy of a home on your coffee table.

As time passes, you will appreciate your album is an investment and priceless keepsake. We believe every married couple deserves to have a fine art album as a tangible reminder of their special day.

HOW ABOUT SQUARE

The beauty lies in the print

OUR APPROACH TO ALBUM DESIGN IS MINIMALIST LAYOUTS THAT LET YOUR MEMORIES TAKE CENTRE STAGE ON THE PAGE

The Fine Art Wedding Album is designed to lay flat when open. The photos can be printed through the crease in the page centre offering a seamless visual flow. This allows for uninterrupted panoramic and landscape images to run across the double-page spread as well as edge-to-edge printing.

The photos are printed with archival quality inks on archival-grade durable thick pages with a timeless matt finish. The matt finish helps reduce glare and reflections from overhead lighting to make viewing the photos more enjoyable.

The base album includes the first 15 spreads (30 pages) but extra pages up to 45 spreads (90 pages) can be purchased to allow for more photos.

ALBUM DESIGN

TURNAROUND TIME

The first design draft will be provided within 10-15 business days after receiving your deposit and images. This timeframe is subject to vary during peak times, for example the lead up to Christmas and New Years holiday period.

We cannot guarantee a delivery time since the nature of designing an album requires feedback from the customer. It depends on how quickly the customer gets back to us with changes, how many rounds of changes and the design being approved for print. From design approval, manufacture takes 2-3 weeks plus delivery.

Because the fine art albums are in most part handmade, they are a labour-intensive product to manufacture. We will not rush the process to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

The album design is printed with archival quality inks, then handbound utilising the highest quality craftsmanship in bookbinding techniques here in Australia and delivered to your door.

FREE DELIVERY AUSTRALIA WIDE – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Launceston, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin including regional areas of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory.

FREE INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY — We also ship worldwide for free using standard postage. However if you require the album shipped using an international courier service (ie. Fedex, UPS) this will incur shipping fees and in this instance please contact us for a shipping quote.

All our albums include page layout design by our professional graphic designers.

First we curate the best photos from the entire gallery received from your photographer, then design beautiful storytelling layouts to fill the pages of your wedding album.

Our approach to album design is modern and minimalist to let your images breathe on the page and for the hero images to take pride of place. The pages are set out to tell the wedding day story in a logical order – groom getting ready, groom portraits, portraits, bride getting ready, bride portraits, ceremony, congratulations, family photos, couples portrait session and bridal party shoot, and reception.

Typical most client albums end up somewhere between 30-40 spreads (60-80 pages) with a maximum of 45 spreads (90 pages).

It is hard to envisage what all the album design will look like, but The Coffee Table Book has been designing wedding albums since 2006. It’s much easier once you see the album design laid out and rest assured comes together during the review process.

Our online proofing platform makes it easy for you to review the album design. We collaborate with our couples during the review process to ensure all their favourites and must-have photos make it in the album design. Couples have the opportunity to provide feedback and request changes to ensure they are 100% happy with the design before it goes to print.

Two rounds of changes are included in the price.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which is the best album for wedding photos?

Our fine art photo albums are the best albums for wedding photos in Australia. With heavy-weight non-bending pages, archival quality inks and gorgeous cover options create beautiful heirloom keepsakes to last.

Choose from our premium leather wedding albums, luxurious linen photo albums, elegant silk albums, suede and velvet albums, or a photo-wrap cover. All album covers have endless customisation options through personalisation and assortment of materials and colours.

Are your luxury layflat wedding albums available to the public or just to professional photographers?

The Coffee Table Book has specialised in creating professional-quality photo albums for weddings exclusively for married couples since 2006.

Are wedding albums worth it?

A wedding album is 100% worth the investment. Couples spend months planning for this one-day and spend a lot of money to make it special. Then to get your photographs from your photographer in an online gallery, to look at them a few times. Creating a tangible keepsake is the best way to honour and enjoy one of your best days ever, have it on your coffee table to enjoy regularly, start conversations and be that subtle reminder of why you got married in the first place.

How much does a wedding album cost?

wedding album is a priceless investment that we feel is worth every dollar. Having tangible memories you can easily share with your family, friends, children and grandchildren creates a timeless heirloom.

Our heirloom albums are printed using the finest materials to last generations. Premium archival-quality photographic paper through professional photographic print labs. The construction of the page spreads are seamless with lay-flat binding so when the book is open, there is no disruption to the photo down the seam from the spine — perfect for panoramic images.

Handcrafted by master bookbinders using traditional skills and the highest quality materials. Pricing can be found in the Wedding Album Price Guide or online Shop.

A more cost effective photo album is our magazine-style wedding photo book which has a softcover and includes photographs and words like an editorial publication straight off a newsstand and onto your coffee table. Shop the Wedding Magazine via the online shop.

Why are wedding albums so expensive?

We take a deep dive in our blog article on why wedding albums are so expensive from the finest materials to experienced bookbinders and artisans handcrafting these timeless investments.

We have been creating wedding albums for close to 20 years, and over the last 10 years The Coffee Table Book Albums has been steadily growing each year, proving wedding albums are still popular today among married couples.

Wedding albums definitely did not die out with the introduction of digital photography. Our fine art wedding albums are our most popular product with the wedding magazines not far behind filling the gap of a contemporary alternative to the classic photo album.

What is the best size for a wedding album?

The most popular album for wedding photos is our 14×11″ landscape album with the 12×12″ square album running in a close second. With these large albums, you can really let your favourite photos be showstoppers. The large page size easily allows for multiple images on the page without them appearing too tiny. Both sizes work with landscape and portrait images equally. From full page images to double-page spreads, the large wedding album truly is a work of art.

For those couples looking for an album thats not quite so big or more suited to be left on the coffee table, then our 12×9″ landscape or 10×10″ square are a great modern option.

How many pages are included in the layflat wedding albums?

The base album includes the first 30 pages (15 spreads) and can hold anywhere between 60-90 images depending on the design. Additional pages can be added up to a maximum of 90 pages (45 spreads) for an additional cost. Most albums end up around the 70-90 pages (35-45 spreads) and can hold around 160-300 images depending on the design.

What wedding album cover options are available?

Choose from a range of fabrics and leathers in an assortment of colours View the swatches

Also available is a Photo-Wrap Cover as a great way to personalise your cover. For inspiration check out these Photo-Wrap Album Covers

The fabric and leather album covers can also be personalised with a custom-design, for example your names, initials, wedding date or words. We have a huge library of fonts to choose from — view designs from some past couples albums or take a peek at our Album Cover Templates

What quality paper in used in your wedding albums?

The paper used in our albums is a fine art matt paper with a smooth ivory surface. The pages are a sturdy non-bending board around 1mm thick.  The smooth surface provides pin-sharp details with great colour consistency.  This exceptional photographic paper is acid-free and complies with the highest lifespan requirements.

How many wedding photos should be in the album?

Our design style is modern and minimalist to allow your images to breathe on the page. We suggest not cluttering the page with images and therefore suggest 4-6 images per spread. That said, some parts of the wedding day like the hugs & kisses following the ceremony and various parts of the reception lend themselves to more images per spread. Working on those numbers the base album which includes the first 15 spreads can accommodate around 60-90 images. However your album can have as many photos as you like by adding extra pages for an extra cost.

Do our wedding album photos need to be taken by a professional photographer?

Generally most of the wedding albums we create are using photos captured by a professional photographer. Read the article on Why We Recommend Hiring a Professional Wedding Photographer.

Can we include photos not taken by our professional wedding photographer?

Sometimes couples want to include other photos taken by friends in their album. This comes with a maybe. Whether we can use the photos depends on the device the images were taken with, file size and quality of the image.

From past experience, we haven’t been able to use these kinds of images as they were taken on older mobile photos and the quality just wasn’t good enough to print.

Things to consider when using other (non-professional) photos in your album — a photo taken on another device, in a different format, by a different person or in different lighting is going to look a whole lot different to your professionally edited wedding photos. Therefore the photos won’t blend or sit nicely on the page alongside your professional wedding photos. In fact the other non-professional photo/s will stand out like a sore thumb!

For these reasons, we don’t recommend using non-professional images in your wedding album.

If you really can’t leave the non-professional images out of your album, then we wouldn’t mix the images together on one page because style, lighting and quality need to be uniform for the page design to look good. We would suggest dedicating a full spread to keeping all these obviously sentimental photos on the same page that way they don’t interrupt the flow of your professional images.

Keep in mind, the non-professional images will mostly likely have limitations when it comes to editing. Images captured in jpg format as most phones and amateur photographer camera setups, the less you can edit the photos. The more you edit a photo the more it deteriorates the quality too.

It’s also not possible to make images captured on other cameras match the professional photographer’s images, no matter how much editing is done, different devices give different results in colours and every photographer edits differently, so the images can never be matched exactly. It really is a case of we need to see the images to properly answer this question.

We can’t decide what photos to choose for our wedding album?

Not a problem! We include a curation service with all albums purchased. Simply provide us with your full photo gallery and we will narrow the selection down to a more manageable quantity as a starting point for the initial design layout.

Then during the proofing process you have the opportunity to provide feedback and we will make changes to the design for you to review.

No matter what, we won’t go to print until you are 100% happy with the photos and design.

However, if you would like to send us a shortlist of your favourites to ensure they make it in the album design, the best way is to create a separate folder called “favourites” only containing your favourite images and that way we will make sure they are used in the design.

Can I just supply only the wedding album photos?

Yes, that is not a problem. However, as mentioned above we do offer a complimentary curation service where we go through all of the photos and select the best images that tell the story of your big day to show you what is possible in the first design draft.

We actually prefer if you provide us with the full photo gallery as it gives us more creative freedom.

We see this as a collaborative process between our experienced designers and you, giving you ample opportunity to make changes during the proofing process. This ensures all your favourite wedding album photos are featured. Your album won’t go to print until you are 100% happy.

How many pages do we need in our wedding album?

First just some technical jargon to understand — we use the term “spread” when talking about an album page layout. A spread is made up of 2 pages – the left side and the right side when open. We talk in terms of spreads because we design to make sure the two opposing pages blend seamlessly together.

Most couples end up with an album around 30-40 spreads (60-80 pages) accommodating anywhere from 150-300 photos. We design as many pages as we think best tells the story of your wedding day from the photos supplied.

Even 10+ years designing albums, we still have a hard time knowing how many pages the album will be just by a number of photos.

Most couples send us hundreds of wedding album photos, so first we cull them down to around 300 photos first. Other couples just send us their selection of photos they want in the album. But without knowing what the photos are off or the breakdown of how many photos are from each part of the wedding day, it’s a hard question to answer how many photos or pages do we need.

We break the album design down into sections of the day rather than a number of photos. Hopefully, this might help give you a better understanding of how big your album might end up. Keep in mind you may not have photos or not want certain sections of the day in the album so please disregard pages for that section.

Generally, we don’t mix photos from the different events/parts of the day because the colour tones of the photos don’t work together, either because they are in different locations or different lighting situations.

The first draft is then sent to you to proof. Through our easy online proofing process, you get to review the design and make any necessary changes. This way all the important photos make the design as well as keeping within your budget.

Changes can include swapping, moving, removing or adding photos as well as removing or adding entire pages or spreads. We find most couples usually need 2-3 rounds of revisions to get the album design to the point they are happy with the design and also works within their budget.

After each revision, we will give you an update of where you are at with the number of extra spreads and a chance to proof the revised design.

A wedding album is an investment and it’s more important to us that you are happy with the final result, as its an heirloom you will have for a lifetime.

What pictures should be in a wedding album?

Below is a rough guide for what wedding album photos should be included based on the chronological order of the wedding day events and estimated number of pages required for each.

Title Page – 1 feature photo with your names, venue and wedding date (1 spread)

Groom Getting Ready & Photos with the Groomsmen and Parents – 25 to 30 photos (4-5 spreads)

Bride Getting Ready & Photos with the Bridesmaids and Parents – 30 to 50 photos (5-7 spreads)

Ceremony including Congratulation Hugs – 30 to 60 photos (5-8 spreads)

Family Portraits & Group Photo – 10 to 20 photos (3-5 spreads)

Wedding Party Photoshoot – 30 to 50 (6-8 spreads)

Reception – 30 to 80 photos (5-10 spreads)

I’m not sure what material or colour cover I want on my wedding album? Can I change the material/colour before going to print?

Yes. We understand sometimes it’s hard to pick the album cover before you see your photos laid out in the design, so at any stage up until approving the design for print you may change the material or colour choice. Also if we feel the cover material or colour you ordered doesn’t suit your wedding photos or the design, we will let you know and provide you with alternative recommendations to consider.

How do I send my images to you?
What quality do my wedding album photos need to be?

Super Easy. We do require high resolution .jpg files for printing purposes. Either post us a copy of your digital files on USB or simply share your online photo gallery with us and we will download them our end. We accept files via any online service (ie. Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) or the online gallery your photographer supplied so long as they are high-resolution digital images. Just share the link plus the password or download PIN if necessary with us via email. If posting us a USB, on receipt of your order we will provide details on how to supply your images.

Can I see a draft of my album design before it goes to print?

Absolutely Yes. We will definitely provide a digital proof of your album design before going to print asking for your feedback. There will most likely be some photos that you will want to change. Using our simple online proofing system you can easily let us know any changes you require from the comfort of your home. There are two rounds of changes included in the price.

Will my wedding album photos look different when printed on paper to how I see the photos on my computer monitor or phone screen?

Yes, images will appear different. Images when viewed on a computer monitor or mobile phone screen will appear brighter even glossy-like because the monitor/screen is luminous, reflective and back-lit in comparison to printed photos which have a flat matte finish.

What kind of paper do you use in the wedding album? Is the paper archival quality?

We print on fine art paper with a matte finish so you don’t get that annoying glare or shiny effect from above lighting that standard photo prints often have. The pages are 1mm thick so they are more of a thick heavy-duty paper. They are thicker than the pages in a standard magazine or photobook. In fact, our albums are a totally different product than that of a photo book, but it’s the easiest way to explain the differences. The pages are sturdy so that the pages won’t tear/fold/crease. The fine art pages are truly beautiful quality and the reason we offer it as our standard album page paper stock.

How long do you keep the album design on file incase we would like to print another copy?

We keep your photos and album design artwork backed up in our archives indefinitely, so should you ever need to have another copy printed for whatever reason, we have access to your photos and original artwork. We do offer discounted prices for extra copies – please enquire.

Can you use the images supplied by our professional photographer to create a wedding album?

The simple answer is Yes. But just so you understand who owns copyright of your images, the Australian Copyright Council automatically assign copyright for domestic photography, including weddings and family portraiture, to the client or you in this case. Where no contract is signed between the client and the photographer, the copyright belongs with the client (you).

However, if the client (you) enter into a contract with the photographer, in most cases the photographer will ‘reassign’ copyright to them (the photographer). However, when they are asking you to sign over copyright, they do need to clearly advise you they are writing this into the contract and use the correct terminology of “reassigning” or “transferring” the copyright for the contract to be legally binding. Disclaimer: We are not lawyers so it is always advised to seek legal advice when signing a contract. But to avoid complicating the situation, even when the photographer reassigns copyright, you as the client still have personal-use rights. What that means is, you have permission to reproduce/print the images for your own personal use. For example, it’s okay for us to use your wedding photos to create an album. Depending on the terms in the contract, the photographer may have clauses referring to the editing — usually relating to the photos cannot be edited by another party. It is your responsibility to let us know any specifics in terms of use around the photos you are supplying us. If in doubt, refer back to your wedding photography contract. In the case there is no contract, as I mentioned above the client (you) own copyright and can use/edit the photographs in any way you wish. For more information on Australian Copyright Legislation refer to the Australian Copyright Council website.

Will you edit my photos for my wedding album?

Refer back to the above statement about Copyright, so generally no due to the binding contract between you and your photographer.

To elaborate, we don’t include editing as part of the design process because we work with couples that mostly use professional photographers and the photos are already edited to the photographers style. Most photographers have a contract with the couple that stipulates how the images can be used as well as edited, which relates to copyright law and usually means we cannot edit the photographer’s images. In cases where there is no contract, we can edit the images. Some images need more editing than others depending on what issues need to be corrected. For example whether its basic overall exposure or colour balance issues or more advanced retouching like removing skin blemishes/spots, smoothing skin texture, etc and then how many images need editing. If photo editing is required, we will need to provide a quote. This is usually done once we have designed the album and its been approved for print because then we know exactly what images and how many images need editing. This way you only pay for editing to the images that appear in the album.

What are alternative albums for wedding photos?

Not convinced albums is for you? Then our magazine-style photo book is an attractive alternative to the classic wedding album. The Wedding Magazine firstly allows for a lot more images and the use of written content designed in a magazine editorial format and create your own feature story in a more personalised way.

Is there a discount for parent albums?

Yes! We have already discounted the parent albums — refer to the wedding album price list. To qualify as a parent album, they must be identical to your main album in size and cover choices. For example, if your main album is a 14×11 horizontal album, then to quality for the parent album discount, the parent album must be a 14×11 horizontal album. Parent albums must be ordered at the same time as the couple’s album.

When can I expect my first album design draft?

We will have your first draft of the album design to you within 10-15 business days from receipt of your deposit and images. During peak times, usually around major holidays and the weeks leading up to Christmas it might take a little longer.

How long does it take to receive my wedding album?

We can’t put a timeline on delivery as the review/proofing process relies on your involvement, so depends on how long it takes you to get back to us with changes as well as how many rounds of changes. Depending on workload and if its around peak season or holiday periods, it may take 5 days or more to get revisions back to you to review. To give you an idea, generally most couples approve the design after 2-3 rounds of changes. For this reason we also can not guarantee a timeline or delivery date. Once you approve the album design for print, production takes around 2-3 weeks. Plus allow time for delivery. Australia: allow 2-7 days for shipping depending on what part of Australia you live and whether you are in a major city or regional. International: allow around 2-3 weeks. We do provide tracking details when shipping so you can follow the status of your delivery.

Do you offer a priority or rush service for your albums?

No we can’t offer a rush service on our wedding albums. Due to the nature of the album manufacture process and labour that goes into handcrafting the albums, we cannot speed up the process, therefore we do not offer a priority or faster service.

How do I care for my wedding album?
What is the best way to store my wedding album?

Our albums are supplied with care instructions that explain the best way to care and store your album to ensure its longevity. However, our advice for storing your album to continue looking great is:

— store flat
— keep away from direct, bright light such as sunlight
— avoid storing in a hot or humid environment
— keep away from sticky/greasy fingers

All albums are supplied in our standard packaging (either a cloth bag or paper wrap inside a heavy-duty cardboard box) to help protect it from dust and light. However you can upgrade to either a Boutique Box or Slipcase to match your album.

Do you have a returns policy?

Because all albums are custom made to order we do not accept returns. However your album is guaranteed under our 100% happy guarantee — if the album arrives damaged or the fault lies with us, we will bear all the costs to get the album fixed — guaranteed! For the above reasons we insist you carefully proof your album design, especially proof-read text, because once you approve the album design for print we cannot make changes and we are not responsible for any errors.

What if I change my mind — can I get a refund?

No. Once we receive your order and your deposit is paid, we generally start work on your album design immediately, whether its downloading files or begin the process of checking the images are sufficient for printing, and curating the images.

Can your photo albums be used for other types of photography besides weddings?

Yes. Our albums and photo books are also the perfect solution for printing any style of photography or event, such as your engagement photos, elopement, as well as family photos. We can design any type of family photo album including maternity, newborn, baby photos, graduations and even albums for your furry family members.
