We love it when we get to make a beautiful album or photobook for our client's biggest life event!  What better way to relive your best day forever?

Our shooting style tries to capture the plot and the small details of the wedding day, to tell a truly rich wedding story - and really the point is to relive that via a book, or at the very least a digital slideshow. So it is important that we have a process that, we hope, makes it clear and easy for our clients to get one of these.

We have designed the process so that you have enough input to make it your own, but also to make sure you don't have to do too much work at any point.  We want this to be a breeze.

1. Meeting to discuss the process, and the options available

This is where we present the various books we make and the options available for each of them.  Cover types and layouts, colours, design style, page thickness, print style, etc.  You don't have to choose right away, but we want to make sure you know what the options are.

2. Form sent to finalize options, and a preliminary gallery of images to start from

While we send you the order form, we will also send you a gallery of images from your wedding that are a starting point to telling the story of your day in the album.

At this point we wait for your form before proceeding any further

3. Album estimate based on your choices and design decisions

We create an estimate for your album based on your choices. Once this if finalized we send an invoice for 50% of the estimated work.  We're usually pretty close, but sometimes there are extra pages, or additional unexpected rounds of revision - in those cases we add that to the final invoice, only once the album is complete.

4. Client feedback on selections, and update selections

This is where you get the chance to add or remove images that you'd love to see in your album, all done via our very handy gallery site. You'll be able to send us your feedback, we'll add or remove them, and then resend you an updated gallery.  Then one last chance for changes, before we finalize the list.

5. Detailed and artistic adjustments to images

Once we have the final image selection, we work our magic to make them even more beautiful, and to help them bring you back to your big day.  It's important that we have narrowed down the list of images pretty well so that we're not duplicating work later in the layout.

6. First layout draft creation, and sent to you for revisions

We create the layout based on your design preference, and our extensive design experience.  Then we wait for your feedback!

7. Second layout draft and final revision

This is your second chance to review the layout. If it is all good we proceed to finalizing the book and ordering it.  If you have any requests we will handle them and then finalize.

8. Layout finalized and album ordered

This is the big moment! The album gets printed and assembled!

9. Studio Check and Shipping to You

Once it's made we like to look at it first to make sure there were no printing errors.  We have a chance to get it corrected before we give it to you.  If it's all good, we arrange a pickup or to have it shipped to you!

And voila, after that you have all your wedding memories that will live forever on your coffee table!
