Your FIRST FAMILY heirloom: The Wedding album
Why do I need a wedding album?
In today's digital age, there's a unique and irreplaceable joy in holding the printed story of your special day. It offers a tangible connection to your memories, one that you can enjoy and proudly display on your coffee table. It's a chance to amaze your loved ones and create a cherished keepsake that can be passed down through generations. Holding your memories in your hand is truly something special. It has the power to transport you back to that unforgettable day, reigniting the emotions and reminding you of those cherished little moments that might have slipped from memory. Imagine flipping through a photo album, reliving the joy and happiness captured in every frame. The smiles, the laughter, the love—all brought back to life with each turn of the page.
Your wedding day deserves to be more than just a fleeting digital file stored away in a drawer or on a memory stick. It's an experience meant to be enjoyed and shared with loved ones, preserving those precious memories for years to come. As a wedding photographer in Swindon, I normally say to my clients that a wedding album is the only real tangible copy of your photographs that tells the story of your special day as it really happened.
You won't regret having an album
Digital files are all very well - and I include them in all my packages, but it will end up forgotten somewhere in a computer or pen drive, unlike an album, which are future proof and stand the test of time. Believe me when I say that photos look so much better printed than on a screen. Nothing will ever replace or surpass having your wedding day showcased in a beautiful handcrafted album. Each turn of a page reveals handmade craftsmanship, with the finest materials, paper texture along with smell of premium coatings. An album simply brings to life all memories from your wedding day, that moment captured and frozen forever, the laughter, joy, and tears - transports you back to your special day. You just won’t get the same feeling from a USB memory stick.
Imagine two decades from now. Your children approach you, curious about your wedding day, and ask, "Mum, Dad, what was it like?" In that moment, you realize the value of having something tangible to share with them. Something you can retrieve, sit down on the sofa together, and leaf through, evoking memories that don't rely on electricity or internet.

The wedding album included WITH YOUR PACKAGE
Everyone should have printed copies of their photographs, and I can't stress this enough. That’s why I even included one print form on my' digitals only' package.

My albums are handmade by one of the world's finest wedding album suppliers and really stand out from the crowd and have to be seen to be believed.

My popular packages incorporate a 20 x 20 cm and 25 x 25 cm square orientation, respectively - you can view my wedding packages here.
