New Products for 2012

We were at Focus on Imaging at the NECC in Birmingham to talk with and look at album samples recently. We were impressed by the quality of the products we saw and by the variety of new and unique offerings by highly respected album manufacturers. 2012 will see us offering Mario Acerboni Albums and MTA albums as part of our album range.

Mario Acerboni Albums. Coming soon. These really are very different in wedding albums design. Fancy a storybook style album combo with digital album pages and traditional looking pages with overlays for a classy look? How about a traditional style album with eye popping coloured pages in bright red, yellow, orange, green or blue? Perhaps you want a silk cover or one with a bit more bling then Acerboni have the album for you. These are top of the range albums of outstanding quality, and are uniquely bespoke. You choose your album cover and then Acerboni will custom build the album to suit your requirements.

Booked Images - the find art of tailor made books, samples available soon. These are the very best hand bound books that money can buy! You’ve probably seen others as we have and been thought these are ok. However the craftsmanship and attention to detail that these products have is second to none. They are unique individually hand crafted and totally bespoke, they are absolutely stunningly beautiful! For those clients who want a bespoke wedding photography package but would like a high quality, hand bound and crafted book instead of an album.

MTA albums offer high quality at a lower price point for our clients, with some unique album designs. More on these soon.

SECC Scottish Wedding Show 17th and 18th September

Scottish Wedding Show - We’ll be there on stand 408A, will you? Come and visit our stand and get some great offers. If you’ve had a look at the newly updated website, then you’ll already have found one. We’ll also be showing our new Tarka album at the show, so come and have a look. Talking of albums we’ll be offering clients the choice of the superb Australian Jorgensen Albums in the very near future (sadly not in time for the show). These are top of the range albums and sit well with our Apertura and Contemporary Range, more on these later.

We now have a dedicated area, away from the main site which provides details of our album range, prices and coverage. This is we hope less confusing than our previous price listings. So if you need prices this is where we will direct you for the information, email us for the details via our contacts page here.

Did I mention Special Offers at the SECC? I did! Good then you already know there’s going to be a few!

Photo Guest Books

We exhibited them as a new product at the SECC Wedding Show a few weeks ago, a Pre-wedding Photoshoot Guest Book. They provided plenty of interest at the show and are proving extremely popular with our brides to be, along with our Comic Books!

So if you’d like something unique and very special to your wedding day, why not come along and speak to us at the next wedding show. They are available in a variety of sizes and should go down a treat with the guests at the reception. We also intend to offer a Comic version for those who’d like something that wee bit different. So watch this space!

New- Guest Book, Comic Book and Album Book Boxed Sets.

We are pleased to offer our clients Guest Book, Comic Book and Album Book - Boxed Sets.

Each Boxed Set of Books are supplied in a unique Wedding Box.

Photo Guest Book.

The Guest Book is a high quality press printed* 20 page 12 x 12 book featuring 20 images from your pre-wedding photoshoot. Each image is presented as a 6 x 6 square image on each page. The white border that surrounds each page is available for all your guests to sign and leave a personal message and greeting.

Wedding Album Book.

The Wedding Album Book is the same high quality 20 page 12 x 12 book as above. This time featuring 20 large (12 x 12) images from your wedding day.

Comic Book.

The last book in the box is your Comic Book and is a high quality press printed* 20 page 12 x 12 book featuring some of the images from your wedding day, that perhaps didn’t make it into the Album or Album Book.

Copies of all or any of the books above will also be available both in the original size or as smaller versions for parents etc. at very favourable prices.

To view samples, please contact us either by email and arrange a visit to our studio or visit us at the Ayrshire Wedding Show at the Ayr Racecourse on stand 14 on the 29th and 30th of January or at the Scottish Wedding Show at the SECC on stand 453D on the 19th and 20th February.

*Please note these are not cheap photobooks and are printed on very high quality paper to professional photography standards.

If you’re feeling a little confused by our range of products we will be delighted to hear from you and to discuss your requirements in more detail. Please remember all wedding photographers are not the same! We like fun, natural images as well as the posed images for your album.

New print box for those who don’t want an album but are interested in a book and images on CD. For those of you who book in October we will continue to offer 20 of our ‘unique comic’ thank you cards free of charge. To learn more we suggest you see our distinctive approach to our brochure! We like to be different from the run of the mill. We endevour to take images that can be in your album and also made into large ‘fine art’ prints that you’d love to hang on your wall.

A new product that wasn’t at the show sadly, is a Signing Book, which is printed to allow guests to sign around the margins of the prints in the book. This product will available within a few weeks and will now be available to all clients who book a pre-wedding photoshoot, even if we are not your chosen photographer. The pre-wedding photoshoot is free for all clients who do book our services.

A word of advice to all couples who have not yet chosen a photographer - do so now! We spoke to several couples who were still undecided and some who had left it to the last minute. We had to turn away 2 couples because we were booked for next year in June and July on their dates. I hope the managed to find a photographer but when I spoke to them they had already spoken to several and were out of luck. You should always book your photographer as early as possible, around the same time you book your venue. There is nothing to be gained by delaying your choice, in fact the longer you leave it the more expensive it will become! Our prices will rise in January 2011. If you book with us now we fix your price even if your wedding is 2012. We do not increase the prices like many other photographers, unless you change your wedding photography package to another one.

We had lots of show offers which sadly have now closed.

If you have any questions please get in touch and I’ll be delighted to answer them for you. One last thing we travel, yes really we do and we are more than able to travel to ‘Dundee’ or ‘Timbuctoo’ or for that matter anywhere else in the world for your wedding. We are approximately 30 minutes from Glasgow, easy to find and are not restricted to our local area. If your wedding is in Scotland we might be able to provide you with a pre-wedding shoot on location at your chosen venue for just the cost of the petrol to get there and back. This would normally be done subject to availability and permission from your venue organiser.
