Custom Album Design and Production

We offer many styles of high quality albums - a wider variety than any studio in St. Louis. Our albums are all of the highest quality and carry a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. These range in style from contemporary matted albums with flip-outs, wings, and panoramic spreads (that you create original page designs for) to custom designed, creative, coffee table or "magazine" style albums that we design in house so we (and you) have total artistic control. Many studios either use templates to shortcut their design process or have third party services design albums for them - and these services usually use templates. Most don't use professional graphic artists either. Our albums are designed by professional graphic artists from scratch - we spend several times the amount of time to design your album that most studios do. If you review the demo albums here, you will see a difference. These demo album designs are actually very reflective of our overall, everyday design work - we could have used most of our album designs of the past year as demos. All our albums are custom designed with you, or you can forward us your image selection and we can design it for you. Our albums are extremely reasonably priced - you won't find better value in custom album design and production anywhere. Our custom album design and production is as nice as it gets at any price.

Our album design and production team will also create custom albums from the work of photographers other than our photography group for the same prices, but there may be a color correction charge if necessary.

Sample Coffee Table Style Designs

Our design work is as good as there is - we hope you can see that in these samples. Compare these to what you see at other studios. These are not just image over image - or image beside image. We have traditional matted albums that do that way more elegantly if that is what you prefer. These designs demostrate truly professional artistic techniques and design considerations. These designs have style. They have pazzaz. Every design is unique. Except for the first and last page of each demo album, each image you will see represents a two-page spread in a custom wedding album.

Custom Album Design and Production
from Independently Captured Images

We are quite happy to offer our album design skills to those who had their images independently captured by photographers other than our own, but would like a great album design and production team. Our custom album design and production is as nice as it gets at any price - and our prices are very reasonable. The fantastic difference great design work and quality control make in the final product can't be exaggerated.

Our album design and production team will create custom albums from the work of photographers other than our photography group for the same prices, but there may be a color correction charge if necessary. All the above information applies.



Note on Parent's Coffee Table Style Albums

Our parent's versions of the coffee table style albums are basically smaller versions of the bridal album. The most common is the 7x7" "Book Bound - Soft Page" album. It can originate from a bridal design in either the Soft Page or Hard Page albums. Many clients get a hard page album for the bridal couple and then one or two soft page albums for the parents. The charge for this album is $295 including switching out several images - three or so - to customize it a little for the parents. But it is basically the same design as the bridal album - that is one reason it cost so much less. We also have a 40 page 8x8" "I-Mount Hard Page" album for $550.00. It is not quite as nice as our "Flush Mount - Hard Page" bridal albums, but one of those as an 8x8" parent's album is $750. You can view images of these albums here. or you are most welcome to schedule a visit and review your options by looking at hardcopy versions of these albums.
