So, over the winter I’ll be adding a few more samples to my album arsenal, and the first I have to show you is a 10×10 leather-bound flush mount album featuring Kathleen and Andy’s July 2009 wedding.

The album is covered in premium Pearl leather, and it is soft and creamy.  I chose to have their names imprinted on the spine in silver – which makes it beautifully subtle (and a nightmare to photograph!)  The cover features a large photo metallic cameo which is inset into the leather.  This unusual element adds to the overall modern couture feel.

The construction of these particular flush mount albums is first class; it took a lot of research (and much feeling-up of albums at conventions and trade shows) to find what I believe is the finest craftsmanship in the industry.  The leather is soft and buttery, the spine is perfect, and the printing is second-to-none.  I particularly love that I can design panoramic spreads: because there is no gutter, the entire image is displayed, no matter where it is on the page.

I currently have two flush mount albums at the studio; Kathleen and Andy’s wedding sample and a boudoir sample album.  The boudoir sample is shown below in Cherry, along with a number of other sample books.  Let me know if you’d like to make an appointment to see them in the flesh!
