Making A Story Book Album.
As we are award winning Belfast based wedding photographers. We use only the best storybook albums, handmade Italian Leather albums. The size varies on the product you chose but a very popular album is the Rubens storybook contemporary 30cm x 30cm coffee book style album.
The large pages have a wow factor and if you have the layflat deluxe version you don't loose an inch of print on the page like you can sometimes with the 'flip' albums.

It's nice to make a contrast of both colour and black and white. |
Because you can also use the full size of the pages 60cm's x 30cm's for one big spread or image it is good for dramatic shots that are long and have a bit of WOW factor on them. You can also add inserts of smaller photographs if they dont clutter up the page too much and make the most of all your photographs. Or you can leave it plain with just one full image so that you can have the maximum effect.

Digital storybook albums are great for a few reasons. They let you add as many or as little of the photographs that you like, making it easier to put in all the photographs that you love <3
The Rubens storybook album has a sleek design that I think gives it the edge over the more traditional albums out there.
The Italian leather cover gives it a luxurious traditional wedding feel. With deluxe laminated photographs giving it a contemporary interior which sets it apart from the others on the market. If you are going for a storybook album this is the one you are looking for!
TOP TIPS FOR DESIGNING YOUR STORYBOOK.
*Try and have your opening print a photograph that you love. This gives it a 'beginning' and first impressions last.
*When designing your album try and place the photographs in the order that they happened. We normally end the album on the first dance photograph or a family shot.
*Give the bride and groom a double page spread each it adds to the atmosphere of the day and lets you put in the smaller details of the day.
*Change the layout until your happy once it goes to print it cant be changed so be fussy.
*Show the proofs to your nearest and dearest. They will put their 2p's worth in but sometimes it takes a second set of eyes to point out someone you have left out :)
* Take your time, this usually something that goes back and forward a few times before its right so be patient and remember it takes up to 6 weeks from you approve the album. Remember it comes straight from ITALY!!
