Wedding Books :: New for 2013

There are a lot of new things coming to Birds of a Feather clients in 2013 and beyond. One of our favorite new additions to the brand, are these fine art wedding books (that's what we call them, to most people they're "albums"). They're so good. So... so good. The level of our excitement when they arrived was kind of silly, but warranted. These books exceeded our expectations. After a year of researching album providers and searching for the right fit for us, we landed on KISS wedding books and are beyond thrilled with their product.

In the new year we'll include albums into what we offer our couples. The idea is to create new, Complete Collections, that bring your photography experience full circle, and give your photos a place to live.  These new options, that include wedding books, will allow you to sit back and let us do the design work, while KISS provides the highest quality printing and binding. 

What's not changing? Everything we already do now. We will never eliminate Coverage Only options, and we will always provide your final images in high resolution form with rights to print. You will never have to buy one of these super amazing albums, but now we offer them and if you want one... we've got 'em. So no panicking. For couples who just want really good wedding photography without hefty album prices included into "packages", we understand and we've got you covered. Our way of thinking has not changed in terms of rights to photos, and the ability to create your own affordable coffee table books through companies like My Publisher will always remain. But we ran into more and more couples this year who understand the importance of fine craftsmanship and wanted albums that will withstand the years to come. These albums are meant to become family heirlooms, which is something those coffee table books just can't do. So now, we offer the best of both worlds. Buy an album if you want one, don't if you don't. Simple as that :)

So back to these wedding books. They come in two styles, Leather or Linen. Leather books are best for weddings as they have thick, sturdy pages with layflat hinges which allow photos to span across the seamless center. Linen books are much more affordable with thinner pages, but still have seamless binding and printing. Linen books are perfect for engagement albums and parent albums. These albums are square coming in sizes 8x8, 10x10, and 12x12. They are the perfect simplistic design, made with the highest quality materials, allowing your photos to become the focus. Isn't that the point? Yes. There are many colors to choose from. We went with some sample albums in muted, neutral colors that could fit into any home's decor. But if you want a hot pink wedding book, we can do that too ;)

These two are just our first delivery from KISS. We're waiting on 4 more books in brighter colors and different sizes. We'll make sure to post a few more photos when they arrive. Check back often for more updates to the look and feel of the Birds of a Feather Photography brand... there's lots more to come!
