Album Sizes:
I recommend 1010 for all of my couples, they are large enough to fully showcase those beautiful sunset spreads but still a manageable size that fit on standard bookshelves or to be displayed as a statement piece sitting on your coffee table!
For gifting albums to your family or friends I recommend the 88 size. This is perfect for capturing the essence of your wedding day, in an easy to transport size, while saving on cost! Your family will be blown away by the quality and thoughtfulness that they are able to cherish a piece of your wedding day forever!

Customizing your Album:
I absolutely love working with Kiss Books to deliver the highest quality albums for my couples, they offer tons of variety to customize a wedding album to perfectly fit your style! Here are a few features you can choose from:
COVER MATERIAL: My biggest recommendation when choosing your album cover is to think about how you want to display your images, if you plan to keep your album living on a popular coffee table where it might be flipped through by visiting guests or your kids you will want a sturdy cover material that can hold up some ware and tear! I love the leather options for this! You can see a few of these examples below! The distressed leather is my all time favorite, it is the smoothest texture and full of character! A few other cover styles I love are the Linen, Suede, and Japanese silk, which come in dozens of color options to fully match your wedding vibe!
PERSONALIZED COVER: I am a huge fan of classic albums with simple elegant names on the front! Kiss Books allows you to customize your covers with engraving, debossing, or a cameo picture window on the front! These hand crafted finished are just begging to be touched.
Thick vs Thin Pages:
Paper quality is a huge factor in how well your wedding album will age over time! Printing your images on these thick archival pages create an incredible seamless look that will live for generations, without fading or ripping. Every albums binding is flush with the spine so there are no folds or lost images in the gutter! This allows for your spread to fully lay flat and showcase your wedding images!
Both of the thin and thick paper options create a seamless look, however the thin pages have a slight bend and a little less weight so they will show for a little more flexibility when turning pages. The thick pages are my top choice when designing albums for my couples, but the thin pages are a great alternative to save on the cost and width of your album.
How to care for your album:
After you invest in creating a beautiful keepsake album, you will want it to last for generations to come! The following directions are taken directly from Kiss Books site, but are great guidelines to follow when caring for any photo album:
Album Design Process:
Your images are the one investment that will grow in value over time, which is why I highly recommend investing in a quality album to showcase the joy of your wedding day! For most couples going through to try to narrow down their favorite images from a gallery of hundreds can be overwhelming and tedious! I am a designer at heart and being able to tell the visual story of your wedding day brings me so much joy! I love to include my couples in the process by having them choose a handful of favorites and family formals to showcase!
Most couples receive their album within 3 months following their wedding date. Since Kiss Book albums are crafted by hand the production process can take a little longer than traditional amazon prime shipping! Especially if you plan to gift your album during the holidays I recommend finalizing your design and placing your album order by mid November to ensure you have the perfect gifts in hand by Christmas!
I hope that this album guide was helpful for you, I absolutely love Kiss Books for printing my couples albums, but definitely understand that you might be looking for a simple alternative that you can create on your own. I also recommend Artifact Uprising for affordable printing and album gifts!
I have researched a number of album companies, as there are hundreds at all different levels of sophistication and at all different price points. After thumbing papers and smelling leather, I am happy to report that beginning this year, I switched over to the albums from Graphistudio. What is there not to love about beautiful albums imported from Italy? They are classy, they are beautiful - and made even more so with your images.
Wedding albums have changed a lot over time because the expectations of brides have. My parents married on November 17, 1956. They have just forty images from their wedding, presented in their album, one per page. Even most of the candid shots are staged!
But . . . that was what brides expected; in fact, for some, it was just one formal picture. Today, it is rare to find a film camera being used to shoot a wedding. With the digital age of photography, the ability to shoot a sizeable number of images easily came about - and that means wedding albums today offer more details of the story of your wedding day.
I always provide a custom design for your images because no two wedding days are alike. Your album is designed to flow easily with multiple-images spreads followed by perhaps a single panoramic image, to give the eyes a place to rest. You don't want an album crammed with as many pictures as possible - it is too busy and confuses the eye.
This is a Polish custom - the bride's parents bring the couple bread, salt, and wine to wish them prosperity (bread), warn them there will be hard times (salt), but love is sweet and conquers all (wine).
And by the way, at the time of Dad's death in 1995, they had been married nearly 39 years. Mom and Dad had their ups and downs, but they stuck with it. They're together, now - when my Mom was dying in 2008 from cancer, one thing that kept up her spirits is her firm belief that she would be seeing my Dad again after 13 years as a widow.
Maybe it is time to bring back some traditions. Sure, churches don't allow you to throw rice any more (liability issues), but I have had weddings where instead of some exit from the reception, the couple has done a big church exit. Maybe brides should look to the Sisters Middleton, Kate and Pippa, for wedding dress inspiration.
But one thing hasn't changed since 1956 - I still love taking down this album and looking at it. And that is why I include an album with my packages, so that someday a person not even born when you married can cherish the time spent looking at what happened that day.
The 20th Anniversary of Duran Duran [The Wedding Album] brought forth some reflection from the band, who are as proud of this record now as they were in 1993 when it came out. A seminal release in the Duran Duran catalog, Simon, John, Nick, Warren and friends reflect on what the album meant to them.
Twenty years has gone by since we released The Wedding Album. I've been trying to think of something to say about it, but this far down the line, the music itself makes the most powerful statement of all. It is, in many ways, an album of its time; with the Gulf War going on as we wrote the songs we were looking out at a world of "holy war and holy need" and reflecting it. We were standing on the edge of a technological revolution. For the first time in our careers we recorded directly on to a hard drive. I began putting finished lyrics into a handheld computer - a PSION Organiser to be precise - this so that I'd be able to print them up to sing in the studio, when it came time for the vox to go down. You cannot overlook the contribution to, and the influence exercised within the project by John Jones, who engineered and co-produced the work with Nick, John, Warren & myself.
I remember, at the end of the project, I drove and parked on a dark street somewhere close to home; I took the cassette of the master and put on the stereo. And upon playing The Wedding Album for the first time from start to finish, I began to realise the scope of what we had created together... As I said, the music speaks loudest.
The Wedding Album is one of the most important Duran Duran albums, at least from my perspective. It was the album that gave us two massive hits, outside of the Eighties!... The success of this album gave us tremendous confidence, and the idea that we still had vitality and something to offer the world, after having had a few years of banging our heads against the wall, trying for re-invention.
I feel I have to credit Warren, in large part, for getting this album on track and keeping it there, helping us ultimately to hit those Billboard Bullseye's. From beginning to end Warren kept a watchful eye over all the recording, overdubs, mixes and expenses. He really got to flex those muscles of his, which were considerably bigger at album's end than they were at the outset!
A great cover, by Nick Egan, who also directed the "Ordinary World" video, after an idea of Mr Rhodes'. Great mixes, especially "Ordinary World" and "Too Much Information," courtesy of David Richards, better known for his work with Queen, and a tour that ran and ran.
This album will always be very special to me, as I believe it is to the entire band. I got married during the course of its creation, and my wife gave birth to a beautiful daughter (whose first word was shoes.. ) It was a very special time.
a tail wagging the dog type media-centric world, as distant from ordinary as one could imagine. the masses subjected to too much (dis)information while under a constant state of surveillance. not an ideal situation for humankind.
It really doesn't seem like twenty years since we worked on The Wedding Album, and now, twenty years since its release, we did work on it quite a long time. I remember the sessions which were mostly at Privacy, at Warren's house. After Liberty, we decided we weren't sure we had gotten the direction right and went from being a five-piece band to a four-piece band again. We were down to the four of us again, which meant using a lot of drum machines! We really had to concentrate all of our efforts on the songwriting. We also realized how much music changed. The 80s had ended and a lot of people wanted to lock the door, and close Duran Duran in that decade too, I think. A funny thing happens when a decade changes. In reality, not much happens on that DAY, but people think, 'right, now things have changed.' Some how at the end of the 80s, music changed considerably. We had grunge, techno and rave culture, which left us in a place where we felt we had to make ourselves relevant to the times. We weren't about to make a Grunge or Techno album, but we had our songwriting. We very much went back to basics. We went to the Studio and wrote and wrote and wrote, day after day. And some days, we had some interesting ideas, and other days, we didn't. "Drowning Man" came from those sessions - that was John's idea to make it dance music based. Too Much Information, which i think is a great lyric from Simon was about what was happening in the world and how we are all bombarded with "stuff" and keep in mind, this was before the Internet. i actually think he was far ahead in the sentiment in that lyric. Then one day we were jamming all together in the room with headphones and Warren and I collided chord-ically and melodically, which sent a little shiver down our spines. Simon came up with a melody on top of what we were playing and it became "Ordinary World." At that point, we knew we had something VERY special. It is rare to find something unique and powerful and emotional - and Simon nailed that lyric, probably the best of his career. And then everything fell in to place. We fell more secure when we had that song. 152ee80cbc
