And here's the most amazing thing - your album will be designed and made the old-fashioned way...by a real, living and breathing human! Working closely with my trusted Melbourne-based printing lab, I'll be making sure every single photo is perfectly edited and thoughtfully situated to tell the story of your special day. No lazy shortcuts or quick fixes here! 

There's nothing more rewarding than being able to hold the finished product in my hands, even if it's just for a moment, knowing that soon it'll be on its way to you, for your everlasting viewing pleasure. 

Please take your time to explore and enjoy all the album options below. If you get stuck or simply can't decide, let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you get started!

FAQ

Do you have payment plans?

Yes, I do! I offer several payment plan options to suit your needs. For more information, please reach out and we can set up a payment plan for you.

How many pages can I have in my Album?

The albums come standard with 24 pages (12 spreads), accommodating a total of 40-50 images. The maximum number of pages is 45 and each extra spread is $20. If you would like to add more pages to your album, just let me know. 

Can I decide to purchase an album after the wedding?

Yes, you certainly can! However, please note that if you add the album to your booking, you are eligible for a HUGE $100 discount. Believe me, you won't regret having one of these beautifully design albums in your home!

What is the paper quality in the album?

The luxurious pages are 1mm thick, ensuring the sturdiness of the pages so they forever remain flat and do not warp. The album uses the best paper grade for printing ensuring your wedding album stands the test of time. 

How many photos can I include in my album?

As many as you like! However, I do recommend allowing the pages to have some breathing room so each and every photo has the chance to shine! I suggest having no more the 6 images on most of your albums pages. In saying that, the only exception are the end pages - I tend to pack in lots of dance photos on the final pages to wrap up your story with a fun bang!

I don't know which images to include...I love them all! Can you help me?

It's hard not to love them all!! But not to worry, I've got you! To make it easier for you, I can help with filtering the first round of photos, selecting images that best tell the story of your day. From there, you can add, delete or swap images until you're 100% happy! 

Can we include our photobooth and dispensable camera photos in the album?

Adding photobooth and dispensable camera photos are a really fun idea. I can leave a few extra pages at the back of the album for us to add these images in the design. I advise against mixing these photos with the "professional" photos as the tones will be different and won't work well together. 

How many pages will we need in our wedding album?

The wedding albums come standard with 24 pages. This is a good number of pages for a standard wedding.

If you had a large wedding (150+ guest list), had portrait photos taken at multiple locations, and/or had a multi-day wedding, all of which you'd like included, you may want to add extra pages. The maximum number of pages is 47. 

A 24-page wedding album can accommodate around 40-50 images. Images are placed in the album in order of events of the day. This will ensure that all of the photo tones work together as the colours in the images will change according to the specific location, time of the day, etc.

If you are unsure of how many pages your wedding album should have, I can create a draft for you with as many pages as I think your album needs, The first round is a draft where you are welcome to add/delete images and remove/add pages. Your wedding album comes with two draft rounds to make sure everything is perfect before we send it off to print.

I'm not sure what cover or material I want!

It's okay, I know it can be tricky to decide when there's so many gorgeous options! You are welcome to book a meeting with me and we can go over the swatches together in person. In this meeting I can advise you what colours and textures would work well together.

You are welcome to change your mind on the material choices right up until the album is approved and ready for print. Once it's out for print, you won't be able to make any further changes or customisations, so trust your gut!

Will I see a draft of the album before it goes to print?

Yes indeed! I will send you a digital proof as soon as I put together the design. You are welcome to add, delete or change images via our easy-to-use digital proofing system. This is where you'll be able to add comments directly to the pages and let me know the changes you would like - everything is done online! Two proof rounds come included in the price of your album. Beyond the two proof rounds, you can add extra proof rounds for $70 per round. 

Can I purchase a second album down the track? How long do you keep the design?

I will keep your design for up to 3 years and in this time you can order a second album, such as a parent album. 

Do you offer albums for other shoots (e.g. elopement, family, or Engagements)?

Absolutely! These beautiful albums are perfect for any shoot! If we have done an engagement session, family shoot or any other shoot together, we can certainly create an album or portrait book to house your memories. Albums also make great gifts - family albums are perfect for a Mother's/Father's Day gift!

How long will it take to receive my album?

Please allow up to 2-3 weeks for your first draft to be sent. If there's a special date you would like to receive your albums by, such as a birthday, Christmas, anniversary, etc, please let me know and I'll see what I can do!

The timeline of receiving the final album is also dependent on you as I'll need your help with proofing and approving the draft round/s. The less back-and-forth changes we have, the quicker the process will be.

Once you are 100% happy with the album we will send the design off for print. You will then receive your album in the post 3-4 week from the time we sent the design to print. 

How do I care for my album?

Your album will come with a detailed care instruction card to help you ensure its longevity.

It is best if you;
- keep your album out of direct sunlight
- store your album in a non-humid, cool, temperate place.
- store your album flat
- keep sticky mitts away from your album pages!

Do you ship Australia wide and overseas?

Shipping within Australia is complimentary. However, if you're located outside of Australia or would like to send an album to a friend or family member overseas, please let me know and I will provide you with a shipping estimate.

Do you offer returns?

Prior to finalising your album design and sending it off to be printed, you'll have two proof rounds to ensure you are 100% happy with your album. As your album is a handcrafted, customised piece, I unfortunately can't provide a refund once it's been printed. 

In the rare instant your album is damaged in the post or there is a mistake in the album due to an oversight/error (something that you did not approve), then I'll replace your album for free, at no additional cost.  

Do you offer refunds if I decide not to get an album after I have ordered?

The album design process begins as soon as your non-refundable album deposit is paid. From selecting and curating images, designing the layout, creating a story flow and contacting the printers, a lot of time and energy is committed to creating your wedding album behind the scenes. Therefore, the deposit is non refundable, and the final payment of your album, which is due before print, is also non refundable once paid.

If you have any questions or are feeling uncertain, I recommend booking an in-person appointment with me so we can chat through it and I can show you some sample albums, for your peace of mind. 

Our guests still talk about how amazing Mike was with them, he fitted in so well & nothing was too hard for him.

Mike is the best photographer you could book for your wedding photography. Mike goes above and beyond to help his clients

Alexandra & Andrew

"We loved Mike as our wedding photographer! He was so helpful in the lead up and made everything super relaxed and exactly how we wanted it. And then the PHOTOS WERE INCREDIBLE and we couldn't have been happier."
