I have had quite a few albums coming in and out of the studio over the past several months and I keep forgetting to take pictures of them! Thankfully I took the time to grab a few quick shots of Leslie and Bill’s custom flush mount album before I sent it on its way to become a treasured heirloom. Our custom flush mount album starts as a 10×10 30-page album and then has literally hundreds of options from the size to the cover colors, fabrics, textures and treatment. (Note: These options are the biggest difference between our basic flush mount album, which just has the choice of seven solid cover colors.) Leslie and Bill chose a timeless black leather cover with silver stamping on the cover and spine, and it turned out just so classy and beautiful:

Hopefully you’re not tired of seeing books/albums on my dining room table yet, because I have one more to show you for now: the coffee table book! I just received a brand-new sample, and I just wanted to take a few quick pictures of it. This modern album is a beautiful, lightweight alternative to a heavier traditional wedding album. The book is stored nestled inside of this keepsake presentation box with a wrap-around photo cover:

The timeless cover is available in either natural leather (in black, brown, bordeaux and saddle) or in animal-friendly faux “leather” (in black, brown, bordeaux and camel). Text embossing is available on the cover in a classic font with hot stamping.

The pages are approximately 100lb weight paper and are pritned using archival inks. The paper has a varnish coating for added protection.

And a few details – the vellum page in the front, the binding, and the thickness of the pages.

Jenn and Stephen’s album arrived and I gave it to them last night, so I can finally post pictures! This is a new album option that I’ll be adding to my information packet because I’m completely in love with the beautiful, modern simplicity of this book. It’s a hand-made flush-mount album with a gorgeous full-grain leather cover and archival printing. The options for this album are very streamlined (choose the size and cover color – that’s it!), so it’s a perfect choice for couples who simply can’t bear to have to make another decision after the wedding. I have my own sample on the way, as well as leather swatches, so if you’re interested in seeing more of this fabulous book, please let me know!

Jenn chose a very classic white leather cover. The book comes nestled in this adorable protective pouch:

The spreads lay nice and flat for easy viewing.

You know how I love to show details, and I specifically want to point out the amazing craftsmanship of these albums:

Edit: Updated to include this photo of current color swatches! Aren’t these colors fun?!
