Wedding Album Design for Graphistudio Albums for Crouchers Hotel Wedding Photographer Chichester

Here is a sample of how I design a wedding album. Technically, you can get about 60 images into a 40 page album. That is 20 sides and 40 pages. If you put one large and 4 small, then you can get 20 x 5, however, some pages (the ones with the special shots), you want to take up the entire spread with; or at least one page. So, I always ask for 60, sometimes need more and sometimes use less.

An album should tell a story. When you are choosing your shots, take about 10 from the beginning of the day - 5 for you and 5 for your partner.  Then 10 from the arrival and ceremony; another 10 from the groups and drinks/canapes and 10 from the romantics and evening. This should give you a storybook feel and the book will flow better.

Here are a few cuts from a recent design of a wedding album. This is the Young Album made by Graphistudio Albums which is made from silk, comes in a box and is A4 in size.  Very popular in 2014/5.  This wedding was the pastels wedding from Crouchers Hotel which is another venue that is popular with smaller weddings in the West Sussex area.

I use a clean and modern approach to wedding album design.  No fuss, no fluff and NO fuzzy areas!

You can also choose, smooth, photographic, metallic which gives a 3D effect or gloss (not my favourite although it shows colours vibrantly.).  The album cover can be acrylic (looks like glass), leather, leatherette (hardly different from leather apart from the smell!), and the Young Book which is silk and many other covers.  These come in most colours.

Old Thorns Golf Club and Country Estate Wedding

Sam and Philip were married in Catherington Church near Waterlooville in the most fabulous grounds. Afterwards, they drove in their "one of a kind" Rolls Royce, which was electric! to the splendid Old Thorns, which has been renovated over the past few years and can take small, medium and large weddings. Inside, it is plush and shiny and they are slick with their catering and nothing is too much trouble. We went off on a golf buggy, driven by the new driver Justina. I fell out once, Ian lost a lens cap once and I screamed all the way around. We were taken to the top of the golf course for some amazing views. I did stay for the entire night and I was acosted by a guest who wanted his photo taken with me. Little monkey. Anyway, a great day and evening by all and some great shots. www.oldthorns.com
