Queensberry Wedding Albums is in my opinion the finest wedding album company in the world. My clients hire me to not only create storytelling images of their wedding day, but also to present the finest bespoke hand-crafted wedding albums that are going to last for generations. While flushmount albums are a big trend right now, I also believe there is a real desire for simple timeless style. We are all familiar with what a plain black leather wedding album looks like, so I wanted to share some photos of what the Queensberry Buckram covers look like.
Buckram is a stiff, durable coated fabric that has been used for centuries in bookbinding. It is unique alternative if you want something a bit different from a leather wedding album.
For Queensberry Albums‘ matted pages, pages can be protected with metal corners.
One of the most beautiful features of Queensberry Albums is that you can have a translucent title page showing the newlyweds names and wedding date.
To start off the wedding album, I chose to use a photo that was taken at an Indian wedding during a first look. The pages are done in matted pagemount style. A pagemount allows there to be a border around the photograph. Many couples choose an ivory border but for this album, red was used to highlight the colorful wedding.
This album spread shows the beginning of a mehendi, the celebration the night before an Indian wedding ceremony.
The brilliant colors, intricate henna designs, and energetic dancing was so fun to photograph.
The dandiya stick dancing was one of the most memorable parts of the evening to photograph. The bride and groom enjoyed a moment together on the jhula swing as their friends and family danced in celebration.
The bride got ready the next morning before the first look. Look carefully at the photo below: you will notice a cut down the center of the page on the right.
These albums offer a very unique feature in that the page mats open up to reveal more photos inside.
Inside the opening, you can see moments from the Baraat, where the bridegroom has a wedding procession to the ceremony venue, riding on a horse. In some instances, an elephant is used.
Here you can see details of the craftsmanship that goes into Queensberry Albums. Each album is made by hand with high quality materials. You can see a close up of the red pagemount. The red and gold colors of the wedding are carried out in the design of the album.
A photo of the wedding ceremony venue and candid moments under the mandap including the madhuparka ceremony.
Again, the page on the right has a slice down the middle to reveal more photos of Gujarati wedding rituals.
The exchange of the floral necklaces was followed by a showering of flower petals.
The ceremony rituals wrap up with rejoicing and song.
During the wedding reception, there can be many heartfelt and entertaining surprises. In this album layout, the groom played a song on the piano and sang to his new bride. She was truly surprised. Not even I knew this was going to happen at the reception.
A series of toasts were made before the entertainment began. Cousins of all ages choreographed a special dance to do for the bride and groom.
Each photo size can be completely custom, and all layout designs are created to tell the story in a way that is as unique as each wedding.
The final page of this album displays a photo of the couple holding hands. This shot was actually taken during the wedding reception when the newlyweds were watching the dancers and family members entertain them.
Smaller 7-inch and 5-inch parent albums are a nice compliment to the larger Queensberry wedding album as well. Please get in touch if you are interested in learning more about these gorgeous heirloom albums. The pagemount matted album shown here is only one of the options available. In addition to timeless matted albums and modern flushmount wedding albums, Queensberry creates the signature Duo album which combines a mixture of matted and flushmount spreads in the same album. You can visit the I Own a Queensberry Facebook Page to see many more wedding album samples and read testimonials from countless satisfied brides and grooms.
Nicole and Victor got married integrating Mexican traditions into their ceremony such as tying the lasso, as well as welcoming guests into the reception with a mariachi band. Family played an important part in their celebration as relatives joined the mariachi band in singing songs to the newlyweds. Nicole and Victor look just beautiful on their big day.
In addition to a round table setup, a modern alternative is using a rectangular reception table.
