Introducing the 700 matted Photo Album serie

Posted by Olivier Lalin -




I have just had an album made of the wedding of Carey and Arthuro’s which i photographed at the University Club in New York City.
Ann David and Nicky Reinhard were the wedding planners. http://www.davidreinhard.com
The Album is a 700 serie style. The cover is a beautiful black lizard leather with a 4x6 Black and White photo insert. The size of this particular album is 10/12 in. This is a new product, priced at $ 90.00 a page. The inside pages are matted black. The pages come in black, charcoal, brown, white, cream with a gold, silver, ebony, white Liner Colors. In this particular sample the liner is silver. It might sound tricky but is indeed very simple. I would always guide you in your choice of albums and specifics once you have chosen your images.






I usually start giving you advices once i have had a look at your photo selection. I could even get involved further and surprise you with an Album where i have done my own editing for an extra fee. In this case, you just give me your “ Must include favorite ” picts...





Here you can see a closer look at a page with one photo inserted on the window frame which is custom sized. All of the images are professionally dry mounted by my book binder. And Again, those products are all Custom made from the bounding to the photo inserts and covers.





And a reminder, you can download the Prices on PDF file on the F&Q section of my website.

Wedding Albums - The 300 Serie - It's all about presentation

Posted by Olivier lalin -

Hi again, I just wanted to say a few things today about wedding albums. It is a very important topic - Albums are there to last a life time and be passed on to the next generation.I provide my clients with pictures and albums that are unique to them rather than quick, cookie-cutter packages cranked out on an assembly line. All of my Albums are high end products, personalized, upscale Leather bound produced by a Book Binder. I have a selection of different styles of Albums that i do offer to my clients. My Albums are what i would call the Louis Vuitton of wedding albums, far away from simply "sticking" a picture on a page, commonly used for economic reasons. So, once I receive your selection of the images you wish to include in an album, I would do a precise lay out, page after page, using different formats as well as sizes of the photos on the paper and mixing Black and White and Color to create the story of your wedding day.

I thought it might be a good idea to show you a few examples of lay out below. Those pages are taken from the wedding of Ali and Doug in washington, DC - Here is a link to my web page for you to see a larger view of Type of Wedding Album that we produce. You can go to weddinglight.com to download a PDF for the price list of the albums as well-



I wanted to include the definition of a word that i particularly like in French and in english which is an "Artisan" or a "Craftsman".
This is what wedding photography is all about !! And i can just see my friend Laurent who's going to say " Right On !"

Definitions of craftsman on the Web:
a professional whose work is consistently of high quality; "as an actor he was a consummate craftsman"
a creator of great skill in the manual arts; "the jewelry was made by internationally famous craftsmen"
a skilled worker who practices some craft
The Craftsman style (1905-1930) is named for Gustav Stickley's magazine The Craftsman. It is the architectural facet of the Arts and Crafts movement of that period. It was a fundamental tenet of Arts and Crafts advocates that form should follow function; good design and hand craftsmanship should supplant useless ornamentation and shoddy "industrial" workmanship.












The Album I am presenting to you right now is called the 300 serie. The Prints are actually flushed to the pages. They come in Horizontal as well as vertical format. You will find all the info on weddinglight with prices. For more information, please contact our studios directly in N.Y.C or Paris. Yanique or I would be delighted to answer any more questions you might have.
I will discuss other type of wedding albums in a later blog.
Until then, Keep Warm everyone!
