What exactly is a Digital Wedding Album, it's
a technological breakthrough that allows large printing companies to print a
book or Wedding Album as a "one off". To have asked for this service where an
Album is created in book form with your Images printed directly onto a
Photographic quality Album page would have been impossible. Modern technology
and some straightforward thinking has allowed large printing works to offer this
service at very reasonable prices. So your Images captured at your Wedding can
be custom printed straight into a Wedding Album and exactly as your Photographer
wishes to compose that Album for you.

The Digital Album starts life at the printers in Europe as blank pages, it is
only when your Photographers files are received that the book comes to life. In
reality it actually starts as blank pieces of photographic paper, that are
printed on high speed machinery and compiled into an Album and the cover is
prepared and fitted as the final stage of the process. Because the Album is
CUSTOM, the only fact I can give you is the physical dimensions at 20 x 29 cms
with the option of 50 or 70 pages ( 50 pages recommended ) The Cover is 540 gsm
heavy card with a quilted feel to it. ( Ordinary office paper is usually 80gsm )
The manufacturer employs a solid bookbinding system that will allow the Album to
open fully at 180 degrees to lay flat so you can see perfectly any two page
Panoramic shots. The pages are approx double that of ordinary photographic
paper, available in Gloss or Matt finish.
Because I use the files generated from your Wedding Photographs you are not
involved in any extra charges for re prints or enlargements, all the content for
your Album is with me and ready to use. Should you however require an excessive
amount of Photoshop work I would have to quote, the Designer Album I am offering
is superb and to add extraneous content in the form of Photoshop manipulation
may not always be advisable.
When your order is placed with the manufacturer it goes via the Internet
avoiding postal delays this surfaces in the factory and is stacked for printing
and dispatch back to the UK. Multiple Album orders of the same kind can be
placed at a discount.

So what is possible on 70 pages, bearing in mind that the average Wedding takes
between 100 - 200 shots. On 70 pages you can have between 35 - 1,960 Images that
is why I recommend the 50 page version. Front and Back Covers, perhaps you
would like to be on the Cover Photo we can run the Image round the spine and
completely cover the back cover for you. ( Panoramic ). Perhaps you would like
to see the Church or Venue emblazoned on the covers, if you prefer there are
quite a few standard " Book " type covers available in Maroon, Burgundy or
White. Text and Images ( Boxed ) can be placed on the covers and inside on the
pages with the Images

Downside.
While the Album is superb, and cannot be faulted in itself, there is a marked
lack of themed backgrounds, this is a distinct disadvantage for Wedding work. I
have produced my own suite of Backgrounds covering some 200 pages and still
climbing. The new high quality Alpha Channel backgrounds are exclusive to myself
i.e. Adrian Allen Photography, they are all high resolution and have been
checked pixel by pixel for quality, in short they are superb. and for an Album
of this calibre £ 84.00 is a total bargain.. Prices will rise next year to take
into account the digital input, order this year and save the price hike of £
200.00.
If you require the Digital Album please order in good time, the Album is
designed to reflect the Day and as such some of the shooting is orientated
towards producing the Album, ordering it after the Wedding can detract slightly
from the finished product.
