Photograph Albums - DPChallenge Forums

I have just got married and my photographer has some great photos for us. I want to display them in a great album.

I would like to find an album that will allow me to use matted frames to show the photos off, preferably with a leather (or other high qulity) cover and heavy duty card leaves, well bound for posterity (for when I am famous). Our taste is very much for clean, modern lines.

Does anyone have any good suggestions? I have seen Mario Acerboni albums advertised, but these look a little fussy for me. Jorgensen Albums look very impressive, if on the high side for costs, and a lot to invest in without ever seeing one in advance.

I do not have digital rights to the pro-photos, so am a little dependent on her printing and me getting an album to fit (so cannot use the direct print from digital options, and would prefer not to send the prints off in the post to a binder).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks!!

Here in Australia I use Jorgensen Albums and they are fantastic! I find the quality very good! Plus, the girls here in the Perth outlet are a fantastic help! I would recommend them! (I take it they are the same in UK!)

EDIT: Also, if you order the albums with mats to print they are easy to put together!

Aha - very useful to get a recommendation. I think that I would be importing from Australia, unless I can find a UK outlet (not managed that so far). How much effective crop do you need to allow for the mats?

I would still be interested in any other suggestions (particularly from any UK professionals).

When looking for albums, I sometimes find absolute gems from Scrapbooking Sites. Most will allow you to add or remove pages as needed and lots look very nice and use high quality materials.

Renaissance by AlbumX is the best matted print album *I* know of - as a US professional.

Click products, then "slip in album" to see it.
