I love designing albums and have taken a number of years to select the best suppliers and formats for you.  I now offer a range of albums to suit all tastes and budgets which you can find in the online store of your wedding gallery which are to be designed by you. However, my bespoke and luxury album design service is for Queensberry albums, I have chosen this supplier as to put it simply, they are the best - of course this means they come with a price tag - How do you justify this? How much do you spend on a sofa? How many years would you have that sofa? will your sofa consist of memories from one the most special days in your life? Will your sofa become a family heirloom, even after you are gone? passed to children, grandchildren? I think there is your answer.
Queensberry albums are not included in the online store but showcased here in this brochure. Ranging from matted albums through to textured page photo albums, using exquisite french sourced papers made to specifications ensuring their sustainability with textures to enhance the papers natural qualities, and specially selected leathers from the finest tanneries.
The purpose of my bespoke album design service is to tell the story of your day using a mixture of both colour and black + white images including detail shots, portraits and informal story-telling images in your individual design, printed and hand made by skilled artisans in New Zealand.
Take a browse through the album photos and prices below and please do read all of the information provided including the FAQ section before purchase.

WHY

QUEENSBERRY?

"Nicci, I just cried so many happy tears. We are literally speechless, this album is exquisite.
We are honestly so thrilled with it and cannot thank you enough. It’s just
wonderful and really tells our story. Best album ever.
Utter PERFECTION. THANK YOU!!!

This luxurious album is the pinnacle of my photography and Queensberry’s design expertise, and has become almost legendary amongst my clients, their family and friends, I’m talking take out the white gloves.  I’ll work with you to design the finished album to your exact specifications, resulting in a truly personal album which you will treasure forever.
This is the very album I have my own wedding photos displayed in. Images are traditionally mounted, with every aperture cut by talented artisans hands in New Zealand. These albums have a unique contemporary twist in that they can combine fully printed pages within the album (printed onto the page material even full spreads or printed to the edges of pages, as well as having some pages that have traditionally mounted images (in windows) making it the Duo, making it unique, timeless and authentic - the Duo is a patented design available only with Queensberry.  If you are looking for something truly unique and luxurious then this is certainly the album for you.

Minimalist and versatile with a real modern feel to it. This album is in the style of a coffee table book, your photos are printed directly onto the lay flat pages, with a choice of page material; beautiful and thick fine art papers popular for it’s rich matte finish, or for the classic coffee table book finish true photographic lustre pages (silver halide).
These books have a luxury yet modern vibe to them yet the fine art paper option gives it an almost french, arty, vintage feel about them. With every detail of every printed image almost embossed into the paper. The quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail second to none.
Every album has a bespoke design and I work with you to create the perfect album for YOU.

I like to see choosing your album cover a bit like choosing a sofa, except this will be forever, there's a wide selection of covers and cover motifs included in the album price or you can upgrade to alternative covers and if you prefer then also cover embossing.

The album is supplied in a beautiful grey drawstring velvet bag and standard Queensberry box packaging or you can upgrade to a black or ivory box or a carry case. If you scroll further down toward the end of this page you will see all of these options from colours, materials and fonts. Personally I think when choosing a cover colour that neutral or ethereal  shades  tend to work better to suit most home displays, unless you are purchasing an ivory or black box for your album. Alternatively, many prefer to choose the a colour from their wedding.

“This is soooo different, the textured paper is unreal, and has such an arty vibe. Our photos look beautiful and the whole album is just so unique. We love the way you designed this Nicci, it has a real modern edge to it yet feels authentic with the textures and vintage leather cover. We cannot thank you enough.”

Add your personal touch

personalise

Now that you’ve chosen your cover material and colour, you can now choose if you’d like to personalise it and how - from personal embossing, a cover motif or with a photo front or wrap-around cover.

your cover

A cover motif is an inlay added to the front cover of the album to display an image or graphic on a coloured backing. You can choose from a range of styles, including a variety of both text and image options, and with backing colours to suit all tastes. Available on all cover materials with multiple formats from square, horizontal or vertical motifs with photo only, text only or photo and text - the photo can be full bleed so to the edge or have a frame. A backing colour behind to surround the motif can also be added if you wish - choose from gold, silver, black, or white.

WRAP-AROUND

A photographic print is bound to the front cover, protected by a textured laminate. The material of your choice covers the spine and back. Both "half" and "full" Photo Front covers are available.

PHOTO FRONT

Perhaps our most popular cover style. Select from our range of fonts and supply the text you want us to emboss — typically names and dates. Some fonts allow for two lines of text, some one. The embossing can be foiled in one of seven colours or blind embossed (no foil).
You may prefer to supply your own artwork for us to emboss, such as a monogram or logo, or a font that's not available in our standard range. Or you may need more characters than our standard range offers. The cost will depend on the size. Blind or foil embossed.

my personal favourite is The Timeless font as this one includes your surname initial behind it (see it more clearly below), that said if you are having text on your cover, whether with embossing or on a motif, it's a good idea from a design perspective to use the same font for the cover and the title page.
