KISS Wedding books

Digital wedding albums is rising in popularity these days. The “magazine” style album is a more traditional look compared to the matted albums from Seldex. In searching the internet for these contemporary digital albums, it becomes dizzying with the amount of options. Additionally there are many styles that can be used to customize you wedding album. After much searching and viewing other studio samples, I am going with the KISS Wedding books. With the KISS Wedding books, they are making it as simple as it can be. Moreover, the quality of the books is outstanding. The lab for printing and assembling is in the US making the communication and shipping times much faster than with other album makers.

Cover for KISS Wedding books

The outside covering for transporting and storing the book is not my style. However, it is very sturdy and made of a canvas material. It is soft enough not to scratch the cover of the book.

The outside leather cover is available in 7 different colors.

For any panoramic spreads, there is no space, but a tiny fold down the middle of the book. It easily lays flat on a table for viewing.

As a photographer the KISS customer service was excellent – they give you quick feedback on the status of your order – checking the files prior to printing to ensure the best output. The ordering, processing, and shipment of the book was very easy which should translate to quicker production and final shipment to the newly-married couple.

Thank you!

Thank you to all of the brides-to-be and their family and friends that stopped by the TimeLine Media booth at the Dulles Expo Center this past Sunday. We were a part of the Washington Bridal Showcase. There was an amazing amount of people that attended this event especially considering it was Superbowl Sunday! If you are at all planning a wedding in the D.C. area, this is where you need to go. You will get the most complete participation of wedding vendors in the area. In attendance were photographers to florists, reception sites, review sites, transportation, cakeries, etc.

I also have to thank our neighboring booths: weddzilla.com and the Thomas Birkby House. We had a lot of traffic come by, and we got a chance to give our information to a lot of brides that were attracted to their displays as well as ours! Accordingly, I felt like my placement was in the middle of other outstanding professionals which made me look better!

If you did get to see us at the show, please drop us a line – we’d love to know what you thought of our presentation. We will definitely be back to showcase our work at a future show.

Thank you to everyone that stopped by the TimeLine Media wedding photography booth last weekend

Seldex matted albums

In preparation for the upcoming bridal show in Chantilly, I had some sample wedding albums made for the display. The Seldex 10 inch square album from Finao is the one shown here. It is a more traditional album in that it is made with photographic prints that are matted to the pages of the book. I have seen many albums that are available at retail shops, but this album is definitely a cut above. The cover on this particular album is “Burgundy Nepal” color made from an imitation leather material.

Mat Prints

I assemble each of these albums myself. It starts with designing of mat placement, editing and retouching of the photos. Finally the assembling of the photos/mats to the final book pages.

Each mat in the album is white with a white core although other colors and combinations are available from the manufacturer. The mat itself has a very fine texture to give the pages a feel similar to linen right up to the edges of each mat opening.

Each page of the book has a protective metal corner colored to match the pages. In this case it makes book assembly easier. Additionally, protects the edges as the book is used over time.

The binding for the book is very thick, and is very secure. The cover material is soft and pliable ensuring a long life of use either on a table or on a shelf. This book is definitely made to be used! This type of album could also be used as a parent album as it can be made in smaller dimensions, or as a proof-like album from a wedding or portrait session. This is definitely recommended if you’re looking for a matted album that is secured in it’s construction, yet customizable for each project.
