Wedding Photo Albums Suppliers
Discussion
Afternoon PH collective. I look to you for superior knowledge - yet again!
I recently got married and had a couple of photographers at our Wedding. We decided not to buy a physical photo album from them as they were charging a rather large sum of money which I thought was unreasonable (£2k+). We have the photos on CD, so we wanted to make 2 x parent's albums, and a one nice luxury album for us.
My question is, there are lots of fantastic photographers in this sub-forum - so do you have any experience creating physical photo albums/books? Price? Not sure on budget as I have no idea what is good/bad!
Which companies do you use? I have researched Jorgensen Albums, but it looks like they only work with professional companies?
Any help would be appreciate
Cheers

Nothing strange about it.
It costs a lot of money at the time, which we couldn't afford and our photographer has given us copyright ownership on our images. This gives us the best flexibility to source our own and scope out the market rather than being tied to one supplier. It's based on logic.
We are not asking any other photographer to do this for us - we're planning on doing this ourselves, which we understand may limit our choice of suppliers, hence asking the question.
Maybe you can't see it from a customer's perspective?

I can see it from the customer's perspective - as I get client's who ask similar questions all the time. But clients book me based on viewing my albums so then it makes little sense for them not to then order their own albums from me - they're booking me for my design work and because I always shoot with the album in mind (I already have layouts and designs in my head during the shooting). Anyway good luck finding a supplier there may be some out there apart from the usual ones (Albelli like I mentioned who I think are good for the type of products they offer).
For digital or matted albums Loxley Colour are my favourites but you could try Graphistudio, Jorgensen, Queensbury, Sim2000....
