Wedding Albums

Sorry to hear about your problem. Album Epoca are not a particularly popular company, and they are not particularly expensive either. Though they should be decent quality.

My advice is to go for a Graphi album. They are far more popular and are hand made in Italy. Album Epoca I think are slightly less expensive than Graphi wedding albums - I looked into them a few years ago and went with Graphi instead.

If you're happy to have Graphi then you'll find the whole problem a lot easier to deal with because Graphi are the market leaders and you'll have far more choice re photographers who supply them.

In principal, I would be willing to supply an album in a situation like yours, but it really depends how good/bad the images your photographer has supplied are. In cases like yours, the images are usually of lower quality and require editing before an album can be designed.

Thanks for your reply, Paula. It really helps to hear from someone who knows their stuff. I've looked at the Graphi website, and they look really lovely. I was really gutted at the thought of not getting my Album Epoca album, but your post has made me feel better!

I obviously don't know what the quality of the images on the disc will be like until I get them, but if they aren't good enough, then I will be going back to him and telling him to provide me with the real thing. To give him his due, there was generally nothing wrong with the images he took, which have been edited - the issues arise from the images he didn't take and everything from there onwards.

If you are a stockist of these albums, would it be possible for you to give me a price for one? I'd be looking at a 16 x 12 inch album from the silk or crystal glance ranges - I understand if you'd rather not, but if you could, please PM me.

I agree with Paula - we also provide Graphistudio albums and the quality is amazing.

Ahh gosh, I hope you get your photos soon, I'd be distraught if I'd had problems with the photos! How horrible! Please let us know how you get on! Seeing that the other two people in these comments are photographers and they suggest the GraphiStudio albums means it's probably the best bet. I'm a designer and have opted to design and print our album ourselves rather than go through the photographer, I decided this right at the very beginning of our planning and have only just recently been researching how I'd do it a month after the wedding. I came across the GraphiStudio albums but didn't want a photo on the cover, I wanted plain and simple linen cover and came across Artifact Uprising, which look beautiful and aren't too pricey (even when you take into account the shipping from America for their flat lay albums!) Has anyone had any experience of Artifact Uprising?

Best of luck SunnyPinkConfetti!! Xxx

Graphi do plain covers in leather, linen and all sorts of finishes. The choice is mind blowing! So don't let the fact your photographer might have shown you photo covers put you off them HappyBlueConfetti257.

My samples are all plain leather or leather with a small photo insert.

I can do you a quote SunnyPink, but you'd have to email me via my website as I don't think the Hitched message system always works.

Hi SunnyPink

Late reply I know - but if you haven't decided on an album I'm sure that we can help.

We produce professional photobooks for both photographers and the public, including a design service - www.photoproductions.com.

Let us know if you need any help :-)

Warmest regards
