STUDIO HAPPENINGS ARCHIVES

Wedding Photo Album Designer

Today I wanted to spend some more time highlighting a few of my latest Premium wedding photo albums. I design luxury albums hand-crafted by Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the longest-running and most-prestigious wedding album artisans in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are handmade at their headquarters in Italy. Graphi has offices all over the world. Luckily, the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis! These are a few of my latest designs for you to get a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship.

Premium Wedding Album #1

Sarah + Eric’s wedding photo album is first. The box and album backing is created from anthracite gray Maple material, with its silky texture. I created a border design and type mimicking their wedding invitation. We printed the graphic and their names in gold foil, also taking cues from their wedding design. The album itself features a crystal clear cover and with gorgeous photo of Sarah and Eric from their first look atop the Endless Bridge at the Guthrie Theater, overlooking the Mississippi River. Their album paper is finished with a satin varnish, and the whole package is finished with a gorgeous satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #2

Jordan + Elliot’s wedding photo album is next. Their box was created with the sage Maple material reminiscent of the beautiful wooden flowers custom-made for their big day. The box cover shows the simple name and date of their big day in a crisp font. Inside the box, we featured a photo of Jordan’s beautiful wooden flower bouquet. Then the album was covered with the crystal clear finish with photo of the two of them during their big day. We finished their album with a rich satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #3

Last is Marcie + David’s wedding photo album. They wanted their album to be crisp and simple, using the wood color from their MN Landscape Arboretum wedding day. We utilized the biscuit-toned Maple material for both their album and box, along with a beautiful gold foil for elegance. The cover of the box also features some of the artwork taken from their wedding invitation, featuring a bird and tree illustration (they were married under the huge oak tree in the Grass Garden at the Arb.) We also finished their whole package with the elegant blue ribbon, another color featured during their big day.

Luxury Wedding Photo Album

Today I’m excited to share my latest wedding photo album! Elizabeth + David were married last fall at the gorgeous Como Conservatory Sunken Garden. Be sure to take a look at their beautiful wedding photos too.

Premium Wedding Photo Album

After the wedding, David + Elizabeth wanted a custom Graphistudio wedding album. These gorgeous albums are handmade in Italy. Together, we designed a wedding photo album that perfectly reflected their day.

We started with their album box. They chose a dark anthracite gray, wood-patterned Maple material. Their names and date were foiled on the top, surrounded by a graphic circle of plants, in elegant gold. Inside, the box features a photo of their wedding rings on a gorgeous Conservatory bromeliad flower. The box was finished with a crisp white satin ribbon.

The album features a gorgeous crystal-clear cover with a photo of Elizabeth + David in the spectacular evening light, stone, greenery and flowers of the Sunken Garden. The album is bound with elegant, classic black Italian leather. The pages are printed on metallic professional photo paper and bound into a patented lay-flat binding system. The pages are then finished with a satin coating to protect against fingerprints, dirt and oils.

Thank You!

Elizabeth + David loved their album! It is such a wonderful heirloom for them to share with family and friends. They can enjoy it time and again over the years, and pass it down for generations. Congratulations, David + Elizabeth. I loved working with the two of you as your wedding photographer, and I wish you the best in your lives together!

Minneapolis Wedding Photo Albums

Today I wanted to spend some more time highlighting my Premium wedding photo albums. I offer luxury albums from Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the longest-running and most-prestigious wedding album manufacturers in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are handmade at their headquarters in Italy. Graphi has offices all over the world. Luckily, the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis!

Following are a few album examples for you to get a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship. I previously highlighted my high-end Signature wedding photo albums. Today I am highlighting my Premium wedding photo albums. These are more budget-friendly than the Signature line.

Premium Wedding Album #1

Courtney + Blake’s wedding photo album is first. The box is created out of white wood pulp with an amazing white-on-white texture. I created a beautiful circular border to mimic the greenery circle from Courtney + Blake’s ceremony. We printed the graphic and their names in rose gold foil. (This was one of their wedding colors.) Inside the box is an image of their wedding invitations and rings. The book itself features a crystal clear cover and dark blue leather binding. (Another of their wedding colors.) The paper is a soft matte with velvety finish. The box and album are finished with a light gray satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #2

Chantel + Quinn’s wedding photo album is next. They wanted a crest on their box cover. I customized an elegant ornament which subtly features an ‘A’. (The first letter of their married last names.) The symbol has been printed in gold foil on the box cover. The box was created in anthracite gray Maple material. Inside the box, we featured a photo of Chantel + Quinn from their wedding day. Their album is covered in the same Maple material, but this time in white. The box cover design was converted into a gold foil border. The album was finished with a rich blue satin ribbon. That was also one of their wedding colors.

Premium Wedding Album #3

Next is Susan + Robert’s wedding photo album. All of my wedding photo albums include a custom-designed protective box. Since Susan was of Indian heritage, her wedding featured numerous Indian touches. For example, her bridesmaids wore multi-colored saris from India. Susan wore traditional henna on her hands. She also wore an exquisite Indian gown during the reception. The box was made of white soft-touch material and featured a stamped white-on-white Indian pattern. The box included a sky blue satin ribbon. The blue was matched with the cover image. It featured a photo of Susan + Robert in the gorgeous landscape of the Mendakota Country Club golf course. The album cover was a thick crystal-clear plexi sheet over a metallic photo. This gave it a bright, glowing presentation. The album is bound with a traditional black Italian leather.

Minneapolis Wedding Photo Albums

Today I’m showing several of my Signature wedding photo albums. I’m proud to be carrying luxury wedding photo albums from Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the most-prestigious wedding album makers in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982, and the albums are still produced at their headquarters in Italy. They have grown to open offices all over the world, and luckily the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis! I’m highlighting five albums to give a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship.

Wedding Photo Album #1

Amanda + Dan’s wedding photo album is up first. All of my wedding photo albums come with a protective box. This keeps them safe from damage, dust and light. The exterior features a black Touch soft finish. The box cover features their names and custom-designed crest in elegant silver foil. The box interior features metallic silver linen, as well as a yellow satin ribbon. Since yellow and gray were Amanda + Dan’s wedding colors, the choices were fitting. The album cover is brushed silver metal with infrared image from Amanda + Dan’s wedding day. The album is bound with bright yellow Italian leather. The interior pages are printed on professional photo paper with satin finish. This protects against fingerprints, oils and dirt to ensure decades of enjoyment.

Wedding Photo Album #2

Next is Anna + Brandon’s wedding photo album. Their wedding took place at the Minneapolis Dayblock Event Center. Their formal portraits were taken behind the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. The box and album binding were created with Graphi’s Maple material. The texture and color reflects the rustic, worn wood of Minneapolis’ vintage buildings. The album’s Crystal cover matches the glass throughout the city. A green metallic linen lines the box interior. The box is finished with a blue ribbon to coordinate with their blue wedding color. The photos are printed on metallic photo paper with satin finish. The images really pop off the page!

Wedding Photo Album #3

Next is Katie + Robert’s wedding photo album. Their wedding took place at Cottage Vineyard and Winery in Menomonie, WI. Cork covers the box, and the names are printed in an elegant script font. The box interior is lined with metallic Pearl Linen. The two paired together highlight the rustic elegance of Katie + Robert’s day. A white satin ribbon completes the box. The album itself is bound in Graphistudio’s soft, velvety Sequoia distressed Italian leather. Note that the engraved text on the cover is actually cut directly out of the leather. Album pages are printed on professional photo paper with satin coating.

Wedding Photo Album #4

Next is Lauren + Wes’ wedding photo album. Their wedding took place at Rum River Barn + Vineyard in Hillman, MN. Their box is wrapped in a Pearl Linen. A gorgeous, fall-themed graphic on the top reflects the glowing colors of their day. The box interior is burlap-style linen, echoing the rustic barn theme. A purple satin ribbon ties in their main wedding color. The album features a white barnwood-style cover with laser engraved names. It is also bound with the velvety Sequoia distressed Italian leather. The pages are printed on metallic paper with satin coating throughout.

Wedding Photo Album #5

My newest addition is Safiyyah + Rory’s wedding photo album. Their wedding took place at Aria in Minneapolis. The rustic wooden box features Safiyyah + Rory’s laser engraved names. The box interior is metallic pearl linen. The album cover features blue glazed metal. Their names and “twinkling” star artwork are engraved on the cover so the silver metal peeks through. The velvety suede Sequoia distressed Italian leather binds the album. The whole presentation is finished off with a beautiful satin ribbon.
