I couldn’t resist designing this…

Tie The Knot – Wedding Photobook

I cannot believe it’s (almost) been a whole year since I done my first wedding photography assignment. I remember that day so well, I was incredibly nervous and I couldn’t stop checking and re-checking I had everything, lenses?…yes. Spare batteries?…yes…camera?…ok, one more time…

It was a great day none-the less. So, last month I finalized the design photobook of the occasion and made my order at blurb.com – I thought it would make a nice 1st anniversary gift, plus it features lots of pictures they didn’t select for print last year. Last week it arrived through the post, and oh my gosh. The print quality is absolutely amazing!  The images have a real punch about them and even though they are all black and whites, they have a great tonal range. I’ve heard good things about Blurb – seeing is a completely different matter. It wasn’t the cheapest gift I’ve given, at £50 for 12inch square, 36 pages and dust jacket. But that’s all soon forgotten, when you flick through.

I want to give Jonathan and Emma their copy now! – I hope they will be pleased. Below is the book design featuring some {not all} images from the day…

I’m thinking about wrapping and packing options, maybe screenprint the cover on a nice box? hmm….
So, if you’ve got some really nice images on your hard-drive or Flickr then I strongly urge you to get involved in making your own photobook either for yourself or portfolio – photographs deserve to be printed!
Blurb.com prices start at UK £6.95 for the smallest size of square 7×7 inches (18×18 centimeters) and around £50 ish for the 12×12 inch for the largest size (like mine). And delivery is just over a week. Not bad.
