Wedding album packages
A proper printed home for your photographs
Digital galleries are brilliant, but there is something different about holding your wedding photographs in your hands. No passwords, no scrolling, no “which folder did we save that in?”, just your favourite images laid out properly in a handmade album.
Over the years I’ve sampled a lot of wedding albums, including the very fashionable, the very plain, and the “that seemed like a good idea in 2012” variety. My preference is simple: clean, contemporary and timeless. Something that feels special now, but still looks beautiful when you’re showing it to people years from now.
The Exclusive album range is a high-end album and presentation box set with lay-flat pages, more than 60 cover options, and the choice to keep everything soft and neutral or go a little bolder. Not full peacock unless you want full peacock. I’m not here to judge your cover era.
The Exclusive album set
Designed to feel elegant, substantial and easy to live with
Your cover choice sets the tone of the whole album, from warm earthy colours and soft neutrals through to deeper classic tones or something brighter. The presentation box can match the album or contrast with it, which is a lovely way to make the set feel personal without making it shout across the room.
Inside, the rigid lay-flat pages allow photographs to flow cleanly across a spread. That makes the design feel calmer and more story-led, rather than cramming in every image like a tiny visual game of sardines.
Once the design is approved, the album is produced by a specialist album workshop using premium photographic paper and finishing options. It should feel like an object worth keeping out, not something that disappears into a drawer beside old phone chargers and the mystery Allen key.
Size options
- 8×8 inches (200mm × 200mm), neat and compact
- 10×10 inches (250mm × 250mm), the lovely all-rounder
- 12×12 inches (300mm × 300mm), more impact and space for big moments
What’s included
Exclusive album and box set highlights
- Handmade album with a choice of more than 60 cover options.
- Rigid lay-flat pages, allowing calm, clean spreads with strong image flow.

If your wedding photographs are going to be printed, make it something you’ll actually want to pick up, show people and leave out in the room.

How the album process works
You can be involved as much, or as little, as you like
Some couples love choosing every image. Others would rather I make the first design and save them from the tiny decision spiral. Both ways are absolutely fine. The process is built to be calm, collaborative and not remotely like being asked to build flat-pack furniture without instructions.
Step 1
Choose favourites, or ask me to start
You can select favourite images from your gallery, or I can create a first draft from the story of the day.
Step 2
Review the online proof
I’ll send the album design online so you can check layout, image choices, sequencing and cropping.
Step 3
Approve before it goes to print
Nothing is sent to production until you’re happy. Sensible really. Mildly terrifying otherwise.

Useful next steps
A few helpful links, depending where you are in the process
If you’re still deciding on photography, start with prices, style and the brochure. If your wedding has already happened and you’re ready to sort your album, the ordering guide and request form are the bits you want. Very glamorous admin, but at least it’s nice admin.

Hi, I’m Chris
A little about me and how I work
I’m based in Cockermouth and photograph weddings across Cumbria and the Lake District. My approach is calm, natural and experience-led, with gentle direction when it’s useful and plenty of space for the day to feel like yours.
Albums fit that same approach. They should feel considered and beautifully made, but not overly fussy. Your photographs are the important bit. The album just gives them a very nice place to live.
Request a printed wedding brochure
Thoughtfully designed and printed, with photography, package information and album details in one place. Ideal with a brew, and much nicer than opening 37 tabs.
