YOUR STORY IN YOUR STYLE
Whether you prefer a traditional padded leather Imperial album, our premium flush-mount collage album,
the latest in press-printed coffee-table PhotoBooks, or one of our press-printed proof books, we will capture and
preserve your memories in a style true to your artistic sense.
An briefer overview of the various types of albums and folios we offer is as follows:
THE PREMIUM FLUSH-MOUNT ALBUM COLLECTION
|
| Premium Flush-Mount Albums |
Our highest quality Album features the premium quality of our traditional Imperial Albums, but the look and feel
of the modern coffee table photobook. Fully custom (no templates used in our design process) photographic collages
are flush-mounted without mats on rigid pages that open flat. When open flat, the gutter between facing pages is an
industry-leading mere 1 mm, enabling true two-page panoramas. Page corners are rounded and gilded for added beauty and
durability. For additional elegence and protection of your precious memories, each album is delivered in
a velvet lined presentation box.
Like the modern coffee-table books below, this exquisite Album is available in multiple size sets -- 12-inch
x 12-inch for the Bride and Groom, exactly scaled duplicates at 10-inch x 10-inch for the Parents, an 8-inch x 8-inch for
other close relatives and friends; and finally a 5-inch x 5-inch keepsake / brag book. The hand-crafted covers
are available in eight (8) possible colors and a choice of four (4) different matierials. Each Album
may have between twenty (20) and sixty (60) pages.
THE LIBRARY-BOUND IMPERIAL CLASSIC ALBUM COLLECTION
High quality hand-crafted padded leather covers and mylar edged pages developed and refined to satisfy the most discriminating
of customers. This is your album if you favor the classic premium presentation to tell your story. In the 12-inch
x 12-inch format these albums can hold from 20 to 50 pages, each with 1 to 4 photographs in a wide array of mats; the
covers come in four (4) possible colors.
For those customers who do not require the flexibility of such a large album, we also offer special 20 page versions
that hold only vertical 8x10s, or vertical 5x7s at substantial savings over the 12x12 version.
Lastly, we offer folios with either two or three 12x12 panels. Each panel has a padded back and utilizes the same
mats as the Imperial Empress 12x12 album above. This makes a wonderful formal table-top portrait display.

THE CONTEMPORARY PHOTOBOOK COLLECTION
|
| Our Lay-Flat Hinged-Page PhotoBooks |
For those customers who like the contemporary collage, but want a lighter, more portable book, we offer our latest line
of Brighton PhotoBooks. These beautiful PhotoBooks continue the look of our previous offerings, but incorporate
heavier (90 lb) speically hinged pages that now lay flat when the book is opened. Now the true panorama two-page spreads
in our contemporary collage designs, previously available only in our Premium Flush-Mount Albums are also available in
our more economical PhotoBooks.
One of the most significant advantages of our Brighton PhotoBooks, however, is the ability to produce same or smaller
size duplicates at substantial savings. Available sizes include: 12" x 12", 10" x 10", 8" x
8", and 5" x 5". Rectangular versions at 14" (w) x 11" (h) and 11" (w) x 8.5" (h) are also available.
Most of our Brighton PhotoBooks can have up to 80 pages (sides). There are twenty (20) material / color options
for the covers.

CONTEMPORARY COLLAGE DESIGN
Our PhotoBooks featuring contemporary collage designs have long been our most popular offering with
our wedding photography customers. This same contemporary design style is now also available in our Premium
Flush-Mount Albums, with their more elegant and durable construction, in addition to enabling true panorama designs spanning
facing pages. The collage captures more than a single expression or moment. A 32-page album, for example,
can incorporate over 200 individual photographs combined in a way that every page becomes a work of art, bringing emotions
and the people who participated in them alive in a way no single photograph can. If you have never seen an example
of one of these albums, you owe it to yourself to give us a call and experience it for yourself. (In the meantime,

PRESS-PRINTED PROOF BOOKS
|
| Standard PhotoBooks - Proof Books |
Our Proof Book offerings are based on our line of Press-Printed Bristol PhotoBooks. They are printed
on archival-quality, acid-free 65 lb paperstock are bound like a typical library book - that is, they do not lay flat when
open. For our proof books, all pages have a common background and the layouts have a traditional feel and look.
Typically, the Proof Book will contain all of the final proofs posted to the customer's online proof gallery.
If one of the smaller proof books is purchased, it may, as an option, contain only the "best 200 or 300" proofs
as selected by the customer from their online proof gallery. These printed pictures (proofs) are not all the same
size, however. They are laid out creatively - each page unique to the pictures it displays.
Four (4) book sizes are available in two (2) thicknesses - 100 pages, or 150 pages. The four (4) sizes are: 11"
(w) x 14" (h); 8.5" (w) x 11" (h); 10" x 10"; and 8" x 8".

For those who like the "country," or less formal feel, or the sheer uniqueness of a hand-made custom craft, we previously offered
fully embellished custom Perfect Scrapbooks. Each 12-inch x 12-inch page was custom crafted with 3-D textures and
artstic colors to highlight the pictures selected in a way only our beautifully designed scrapbooks could do.
Because of the greatly improved availability of acid-free thematic components, many of our wedding and event
customers are now opting to design their own scrapbooks. As a result our Perfect Scrapbooks are no longer a standard
offering.
On request, however, we will customize our service to assist in design or digitally prep and resize pictures for
more effective incorporation in our customers scrapbook design(s). A small sample of some of our prior designs
can be seen in our online gallery.
