Custom Designed Fine Art Books
There’s something special about holding a photograph in your hands. It connects you physically to a time, a place, and a feeling—an experience that an image on a screen simply can’t replicate.
Of course, digital files are beautiful and certainly have their place. But a print or custom album are tangible heirlooms you’ll pass down for generations, providing a connection to your wedding day that you and your family will cherish for years to come.

The Design Process
Step 1: Choose Your Book Size
Decide between the 10×10” (square) size or the 9×12” (vertical) size for your fine art book.
Step 2: Submit Your Favorite Images
Use your proofing gallery to select your favorite images by clicking the heart icon. Alternatively, I can start the design using my favorites from the day—curious about my picks? They’re the ones included in the highlights folder.
If you’re struggling to decide, send me your top 30 must-haves, and I’ll take care of the rest. Once you give the go-ahead, I’ll create a draft design and upload it for your review.
Tips for Selecting Images
- Trust Your Instincts: Start with the photos you loved most.
- Focus on the Story: Include key moments, not every group photo—one strong family shot per side is usually enough.
- Keep It Clean: Aim for 120-150 images to avoid a cluttered design.
Step 3: Review and Request Changes
Once I receive your favorites, I’ll design the book and upload a draft layout for you to review. You’ll have access to an online platform where you can make comments directly. This is the time to be honest—if you would like any changes, let me know.
You’ll have up to 3 rounds of revisions included, with additional changes charged at $100 per set. That said, I’ve never had to charge this fee, as all adjustments are typically finalized within 1-2 rounds.
Step 4: Final Approval
Once all changes are made, I’ll send you a final draft to review and approve. Once signed off, I’ll place the order for your book.
Step 5: Book Production and Delivery
Your book will be handcrafted by skilled bookbinders. It takes approximately 3 weeks to produce and will be shipped directly to you via UPS. I’ll provide a tracking number once it’s on its way to you.
