Why Your Wedding Album Should Be Your First Family Heirloom
In the age of “the cloud”, Instagram grids, and hard drives that may not even exist in five years, there is something timeless—and so satisfyingly special—about holding your wedding memories in your hands. A wedding album isn’t just a collection of photographs. It’s your legacy. Your love story. Your first family heirloom. And for my couples, it’s where your love story is preserved in the most meaningful, tangible way possible, ready to be cherished, appreciated, shared and passed down. Introducing our signature wedding album.
Your Story Deserves More Than a Folder of Files
Your wedding day is a whirlwind of moments—your mom buttoning up your dress, your partner’s eyes when they first see you, the broken glass on the dance floor at midnight. You won’t remember every detail, but your wedding album will.
I know how it goes – if you don’t print your photos, then after the hype following your wedding wears off, your photos will live and die on a hard drive. While you may have them properly backed up for the long haul, digital images easily get lost in the mix of our daily inundation of digital media, no matter how obsessed with them you are. You’ll open the photos you saved on your phone now and again when you get caught scrolling through your camera roll, for your anniversary or some birthdays. But you won’t fully treasure the photos and take the time to relive your wedding day.
That’s where an album comes in. Your album will be there when you’ve replaced your phone and those photos are no longer in your camera roll. Your album will be there when your friend’s wedding anniversary rolls around and it makes you want to look through your own photos. It’ll be there when your family is all together and weddings come up and before you know it, everyone is looking through wedding photos. And it’ll be there when you two go through a hard time in your relationship to serve as a reminder of what your young love felt like and what you promised one another on your wedding day.
And as simple as it sounds, seeing yourself in photos just doesn’t compare to the feeling of seeing yourself in print.
I’ve crafted our Signature Wedding Album to be the heirloom your story deserves. Your album will tell the full story of your wedding day, beautifully designed from start to finish to reflect not only what happened, but how it felt. This isn’t your typical album. It’s handcrafted, museum-quality, and made to last for generations. And you’ll have a say in the design and the experience from cover to cover during our album design session. Your album is made fully custom for you, your preferences and your story.
What Makes an EKP Signature Album So Special?
Handmade in the U.S. with Museum-quality materials
These albums are handmade in the U.S., using only archival, acid-free materials—meaning they are designed to outlive you. These materials ensure that your photos look accurate in print to what you see in your gallery and that they’ll stay that way for decades if properly cared for.
Lay-Flat Binding with Thick Matte Pages
Every album features a luxurious lay-flat design and thick matte pages that feel as good as they look. With a lay flat design, there’s no visible loss on the pages from the binding so you don’t have to worry about placing a photo in the center of the page. Thick matte pages f el soft and heavy in your hand, are resistant to tearing and won’t reflect lights around you for a glare-free experience.
Fully Custom Cover
You’ll get to choose from a stunning array of cover materials including velvet, leather, and Japanese bookcloth. Every detail is custom—from the cover color to your personalized debossing or cameo image. Each album is a one-of-a-kind art piece made just for you.
And yes, I personally design it for you. You won’t need to sift through 800 images or worry about layouts. We’ll collaborate during a dedicated album design session—either in person or over video chat—to make sure every spread reflects your love story exactly the way you want it told.
Why Wedding Albums Are an Investment
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—yes, heirloom albums are a luxury. But they’re a worthy one. You’re not just investing in a product. You’re investing in permanence. In art. In something that your children and grandchildren will flip through decades from now. In something that won’t be lost to outdated tech or forgotten in a digital cloud.
Printed albums elevate your memories. They make them real. And they’re there when you need them most—whether that’s to relive the magic on your anniversary, or to remind yourselves of your “why” during life’s tougher moments. Many would call that priceless.
Exclusive, Professional Only Access
The album manufacturers I work with—Vision Art and Kiss Books—partner exclusively with professional photographers. These companies don’t sell directly to consumers, which means the albums I’m able to offer my couples are truly one-of-a-kind, professional-grade products that you can’t find or create yourself online. They’re made with a level of craftsmanship, quality, and customization that far exceeds what’s available through public consumer platforms.
And yes, I personally design it for you. You won’t need to sift through 800 images or worry about layouts. We’ll collaborate during a dedicated album design session—either in person or over video chat—to make sure every spread reflects your love story exactly the way you want it told.
The Beginning of Your Family Legacy
When the champagne’s long gone, the dress is packed away, and the playlist fades, your wedding album becomes the one thing that holds it all together. It’s your story, bound with intention. It’s the centerpiece of your home and the beginning of your family legacy. And they look d*** good on a self.
