Custom heirloom wedding albums
The beauty of the tangible.
After the wedding is done what better way to encapsulate your memories than by printing them? In this digital era it happens too often that photos end up sitting on a USB or hard drive instead of proudly printed out for friends and family to see as well as passed down from generation to generation. I want to plant a seed about how your photos will live in your life offline; how you’ll share them with friends and family and enjoy them as part of your day to day life.
Why not relive your special memories by getting them printed on beautiful archival art paper and bound in tactile goodness?! Albums also make great gifts that are sure to bring on a few happy tears!
I design all the albums personally to best tell the story of your day, but you will be involved in the process by selecting your favourite images, proofing the albums, and making any changes before it gets printed. I will work with you to create something special and personalized.

FAQs
How long do albums take to create?
As this is a collaborative effort there will be a few revisions back and forth that will happen to create your album. The design time will depend on how quickly I get your feedback. The initial design generally takes about a week or two and there will be two rounds of proofing revisions once the draft is complete. Once the design gets approved I will send the album to the printers in Ontario (that right, it’s a Canadian made album!). The printing and shipping time will take roughly 4 weeks from when the design gets submitted. I get all albums shipped to myself so I can check them for quality and then I will deliver them to you if you live locally or ship them if you’re outside the Vancouver area.
What sizes are available?
How does the photo selection process work?
I want to make sure that all of your must-have photos are included, so I will send you a selection form through your gallery. I do recommend only picking a small amount of photos at first and letting me work my magic by trying to design the album to tell the best story of the day. Once you look through the first draft let me know if there are any photos you want swapped or changed!
How much do albums cost?
Albums range in price depending on what size, cover, and upgrades you choose. If you’re interested in purchasing an album I will send you a guide which has all the pricing options listed. Pricing starts at $1200+GST.
How do you take payment?
Once you have made all your spec selections I will send you an estimate with the amount (please note this price can change if you decide to add spreads). 50% of the estimate is due before I start designing, with the balance due before I submit it to the printers. I prefer email transfer for the payments but can also take cheque or cash.
