With wedding season winding down, and with consultations for next year’s wedding season picking up, I decided to see if I could do a little digging and come up with some awesome options for my all of my amazing clients!
For awhile now, I’ve been looking for some options that will allow me to offer albums at a lower price without sacrificing the quality of the album… And I finally found some, while also being able to increase options for sizes and add options for those on a very strict budget.
First – Flush Mount Albums.
These are amazing. Seriously. For the longest time, these were the only albums I offered because nothing else even comes close to their awesomeness. These are the albums that are often called “magazine style” albums, because instead of having pictures attached to pages, your pictures are the pages… But unlike the true magazine style albums, the pages are thicker, sturdier, and waterproof. With these albums you have the choice of having a Premium Leather Cover, or a Photo Cover – either one for the same price. Previously I offered these in 8×8 and 10×10 sizes.
I have just added options for 8×10 and 12×12 albums, increased the amount of pages you can get in your albums and dropped the prices of the 8×8 and 10×10 sizes when ordered apart from a wedding package.
These albums start at $450 for a 10 page (20 side) 8×8 album. For a full list of prices, please contact me.
Second – Mounted Albums
Mounted albums have been something I stayed away from, mainly because I couldn’t find a supplier that matched great quality and great price. Well, I finally did!
These albums have the pictures attached directly to the page, as opposed to the picture being the page as in the Flush Mount albums. However, unlike “old style” albums, these do not have individual 4×6 pictures. The style of layout is similar to the Flush Mount albums, as it is a collage style print.
These albums start at as little as $100 for a 4×6 12 Page (24 side) album. I know – you’re thinking a 4×6 album is pretty small, right? Ok, to do a fair comparison, an 8×8 album with 12 pages (24 sides) is only $200. That’s $250 less than the same size Flush Mount album (and you get 2 extra pages!). These albums range in size all the way from 4×6 up to 12×12, giving you tons of options!
Want an even better deal? If you order more than one of the exact same album (say, as a parents album?) you get anywhere from $25-$75 off the cost of the second album. *Albums must be the exact same – including cover.
Do you see why I added these as options? How could you go wrong with a full size wedding album for $200?
Third – Lay Flat Books
No, these are not albums. Close though… These are truly magazine-style books. They have hard covers, and much more flexible pages (although they are thicker than a magazine). These are absolutely perfect for making a wedding guest book from your engagement pictures. Just think, instead of having all of your guests sign a plain guest book, you could have them leave personalized messages to you surrounding your engagement pictures! The 4×6 size is a perfect size to keep in your purse as a portable album to show off to anyone who wants to see your portraits or wedding pictures!
These books range in size from 4×6 all the way to 12×12 and start at as little as $60.
Fourth (and favorite!) – Canvas Gallery Wraps
Wow. If you are looking for a good way to display your portraits in your house, this is the way to go. Whether it’s pictures from your wedding, family portrait sessions, newborn portraits, maternity portraits or any other pictures you might want to hang on your walls, you can’t go wrong with a canvas gallery wrap.
I had one made from one of my personal wedding pictures just to see how I liked it before offering it on here… I put it on my wall about a month ago, and seriously cannot stop looking at it. I absolutely love that it took a gorgeous portrait and made it into an elegant work of art. Instead of a frame where a picture falls to the background, the picture jumps right off the wall at you.
These come in 4 sizes: 8×10, 16×20, 20×30, and 24×36. They start at $65 for an 8×10.

All of these products are available through my “Client Proofs” page. After you enter an event, you can choose any one of these products on the bottom of the page. You can choose size and number of pages via a drop-down list. You will be able to pick out the picture(s) for your album/book/canvas after you add the album, canvas or book to your cart. I personally create the layouts for the albums and will make sure I get your final approval on the album layout before printing it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
