The best part of building a wedding service is one of the most underestimated: the layout and the choice of the album. Right now, in fact, we have the immense burden of having to decide the shape of our memories, that object that, even in a hundred years, our grandchildren will be able to browse. Not a little responsibility!
And then immediately comes the question of the century: photo book or wedding album? Here is a guide for you, based on the experiences of my customers.
You are a photo book person if:
–You don't like formalisms. The photo book has decidedly unconventional formats (from the classic A4 sheet to very generous dimensions!).
–Prefer a more dynamic layout. The advantage of the photo book is that you can create it just the way you want. the whole page is your wall and the photos are your bricks. Let's let the imagination work!
–You are a practical person. The photo book is small and you can keep it anywhere. It is also very practical to browse.
–You want to tell the event in a dynamic way. Do you like the reportage style? The photo book is definitely suitable for you. For suddenly captured photographs and original perspectives, it is a product that, by its nature, lends itself better to the narration of a wedding made up of stolen moments.
The advantage of the photo book certainly lies in the price, slightly more contained than the traditional album (don't be fooled: too cheap photo books can be ruined in no time!), and in its practicality. His personality, more dynamic and youthful, undoubtedly direct it into the arms of newlyweds they love unconventional weddings.
My business partner is Epoca Album, the best producer in Italy, supplier of excellent customers of the caliber of Vogue Italia.
You are an Album person if:
–The ceremony is sacred. Kind of like the special dress, the one you've been dreaming of all your life for that event, the album has to have that amazing personality too.
–You want a unique item. The photo album is a handcrafted product in all senses. From the purchase of the support, which I make exclusively in an ancient Neapolitan bookbinding in the historic center, to the printing of the photographs, made on premium Fujifilm paper. Without to forget pagination, handmade.
–You love tradition. Let's face it, looking at the wedding album of our grandparents or our parents gives an extraordinary emotion that we would like to relive in the same way.
The cost of a traditional photo album is slightly higher than a photo book, but the result is a handcrafted product of absolute quality. The possibilities of layout are clearly reduced (in fact you can only paste one photograph per page or two little ones!), But this is certainly not what matters if you have made this choice: you want the memory par excellence, with all its advantages and defects.
What if I want both of them?
My commercial partner, Album Epoca, helps me to make traditional photo albums, but with the layout of a photo book. An excellent compromise!
