My chosen wedding book manufacturer is GraphiStudio of Italy. GraphiStudio produce 'coffee table' printed photo books in a range of different styles and finishes and are the perfect way to display your wedding photographs.

Graphistudio invented the ‘flushmount system’ where the company uses special manufacturing techniques to facilitate double page spreads without any loss of image in the centre crease and to enable the pages to lie flat when the album is open.

The wedding books are designed by me and approved by you before manufacture.  As my favourite images from your day may not necessarily be yours so I will ask you to select a number of favourites depending on the number of pages in your wedding book.  This allows me to build the layout of the book and I try to follow the story of the day starting with the arrival of the groom.  Having designed the layout of the book I will send you a ‘proof’ as a series of jpeg images and ask you to review them and either suggest changes or approve.  Only once any alterations are completed and your approval obtained does the manufacture of your book go ahead.  The design and images are sent to the factory in Italy where your book will be printed and hand bound by skilled craftsmen.

In addition to the main wedding book Graphistudio also offer parents books and mini books.  Each are copies of your main book and have a hard linen cover with a printed dust jacket.  As with the main album there is no loss of image in the centre crease and the pages lie flat when the book is open.

Main albums are available with nine cover options

• Black linen cover with printed paper dust jacket (8x12" only)
• Silk – the front is printed with a suitable image
• Transparent – perspex front with a suitable image contained within
• Crystal Glance - similar to transparent
  
• Metallic – polished or satin gold or silver metal printed with a suitable image
• Varnished – smooth rounded corner metallic plate with colour options, simple but effective
• Leatherette (plain or die cut)
• Leather (plain or die cut)
• Cowhide

My most popular main book  is a 8x12” (20x30cm) portrait format book with thick photographic paper pages and hard linen cover with dust jacket however additional sizes are available from 10x14” through to 16x20” and books are available in portrait (long), landscape (wide) or square formats.

If you order a second copy of your main album at the same time as you specify your main order the second album qualifies for a discount of 30% Please be aware that to qualify the second album must be an exact copy of the main album, including size, design, paper type, and cover choice.

Numerous other options are available and GraphiStudio has a comprehensive website which will help further with your choices.
