Our New Wedding Album Partner

One of the best things about the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) convention we attended last week in Las Vegas was the trade show where all of the companies having products for photographers displayed their latest stuff.  This included companies like Nikon and Canon, but the ones we were most excited about were the wedding album manufacturers.  Catrina and I had decided that we needed to find another wedding album company to partner with in addition to our current album partner, Graphi Studio in Italy.  Graphi's albums are amazing, but we wanted our brides to have more styles to choose from.  You can learn more about Graphi Studio by clicking here.  I encourage you to watch the video called "Why Choose Us."  (You may need to click on the Open tab to see the video link.)

We didn't have many requirements, but they were very stringent.  They included:

• Their albums had to be the highest quality.  No exceptions.  This includes cover materials, paper quality, print quality, packaging, and overall presentation.
• The support staff had to be friendly and customer service oriented.  This is really important when you make edits to an album after the first draft or need to place a rush order.
• The design choices had to be timeless.  If you order a wedding album, you want it to look great 20 years in the future.  You would be surprised at the albums we saw that would be in vogue today but not two years from now.
• We were not looking for the low-cost manufacturer because wedding albums are family heirlooms, but prices had to be reasonable.

With these things in mind, we went booth to booth, reviewing the products of over 25 different companies, looking for the perfect album.  After three days and several hours of research, we found who we were looking for in a company called Queensbury.  Queensbury is located in Auckland, New Zealand and has been creating exquisite, hand-made albums since 1969.  Their reputation among wedding photographers is at the highest level, and you can learn more about Queensbury by clicking here.

We are very excited to offer this new line of albums to our clients.  Our sample albums should be delivered any day now, and we can't wait to get them so we can share them with you.  We'll be shooting a wedding in Lexington, KY next weekend, and the bride's album will be made by Queensbury.  I can't wait to see the final result!  I'm planning on posting the album design layout once it's complete for you to see.  Come back and check it out!
