Albums :: Leather Flushmount

One of the best ways to display your wedding photos is in an album. I often get questions from clients about album options, and wow, there are quite a few options to choose from. So, in effort to explain things a little more clearly, I'm going to blogging this winter about the several different types of albums that I offer for my clients. Today we're going to be looking at a leather Flushmount album.

This album is a sample I created from images taken at Jessica and Brandon's wedding last August. It's a 10x10 square album with a rustic brown leather cover with a square cameo photo. I really love this leather choice, and the album company I work with offers an amazing selection of leather colors and styles.


The spine


Page thickness


A flushmount album is a collection of prints which are mounted directly to the album leaf and span across two pages (also called a spread). After the photo is mounted, it is then sprayed with a protective coating to protect it from aging. Of course, you should still take care in handling the album and turning the pages, but this protective coating is a valuable piece of the flushmount package.


another view of the page thickness. I really like the density of the pages... they're thick enough to be sturdy and convey a sense of weightiness, but not so thick that you feel like you're turning a page made of cardboard.


One of the things I really like about this album company is that they crease the prints before mounting them. That way, I can design spreads with photos that go across the whole spread without breaking the continuity of the photo.


I have a background in magazine layout and design, which makes designing a wedding album such a fun task for me. My style is clean and simple, with a focus on the photos, not on a trendy design that will look dated in the next ten years. The last thing you want is a wedding heirloom that your kids look at and say, "Ugh, that's SO 2008" :).

If you have any questions about flushmount albums or would like to set up an appointment to take a look at the different types of albums I offer, please don't hesitate to shoot me an email.

Press-Printed Albums

When I came back from spring break, I was so PUMPED to see I had so many packages waiting for me at home! One of those packages contained the first album I've ordered from Asuka, and let me tell you, it is so cool! The book comes in this nice case (also available in red) with the client's name hot stamped on the front.





The book is hardbound and also comes with a dust jacket.










The pages have a nice laminate finish.



This particular book was designed to be a guestbook. These books come with a silver pen, so your guests can sign around the photos when they arrive at your wedding. It's a great way to add a little personalization to your event.



This type of book is great for a senior photo book, engagement album, guestbook, parent album, or even as a casual version of a wedding album. I have several sizes available and if you'd like more information, just let me know!

Have a fabulous Friday!
