I know exactly what you’re thinking; it’s 2023, the digital age. Should I really invest in a wedding album? The answer is yes, you absolutely need to invest in a wedding album. Here is why:

Digital vs Print

While you may have a digital gallery of your entire wedding day, those digital photos will never compare to holding your favorite memories of your wedding day in your hands. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia from looking through my parents’ albums as a kid, but I love flipping the pages and smiling at the memories. Photo albums are visual storybooks. The best moments of your wedding day are being told from start to finish, printed on high-quality paper, and bound in a long-lasting cover.

A Professional Touch

When you invest in a wedding album, it should be top quality. Photo albums from TM Grey Photo come from WHCC or White House Custom Color, a professional printing service that I have been using for years. These aren’t the kind of prints you get at your local one-hour photo; WHCC wedding albums are professionally assembled by hand with curated, high-quality materials that you can cherish as an heirloom. A spread is equal to two pages. Those spreads are continuous print mounted edge-to-edge on riding insert boards without a center cut. This creates a lay-flat and seamless overall look to your albums.

Customizations

With the WHCC wedding albums that you order through TM Grey Photo, you get to truly customize the way your love story is told. There are several options for your cover design that include a full cover, a cameo cover, or a combo cover. A full cover is just plain material all the way around the book. A cameo cover is a wedding album with full material that has a small square photo in the middle. It gives a sneak peek of the stunning photos that are inside.

A combo cover is a wedding album that has a large photo on the front, taking up about 75% of the cover’s real estate. You still get your choice of cover wrapping material around the spine and the back of the wedding album. You can also choose to put a photo on the back cover so the material just covers the spine. The combo cover also allows for a stitching option where the material meets the image in either black or white at no extra cost to you. The stitching is a must for anyone interested in the combo cover for their wedding album. It adds an extra elegant and editorial look and feel to the final wedding album.

While we are talking about customizations, make the cover material of your album reflect your wedding theme! There is a wide range of colors to pick from in a variety of textures. You could have premier leather, distressed leather, premium fabrics like linen and silk, vintage leather, leatherette, faux leather, and other fabrics like book cloth and chrome. Make every detail count when you invest in a wedding album.

Engraving

Depending on which material you get, you can also emboss or engrave your covers! You can choose from different foil options, black or white, or even blind debossing. On top of that, you have 4 amazing fonts to choose from. Check out more details on album cover customizations in this blog post.

Investing in a wedding album is more than just looking at pretty pictures, it’s your legacy. Wedding albums are memories that last a lifetime and many more to come.
