When I received my (approximately 10 pound) wedding album before Christmas, I just about died. It is so, so unbelievably gorgeous. These photos won’t do it justice, but I have to TRY to show you the quality here. My wedding album was handcrafted by local Louisville company RedTree Albums. RedTree has taken off like wildfire in the short time they’ve been in business, and that is due to their unparalleled, quality albums. I was so thrilled with how mine came out that I am excited to now offer RedTree albums to you, my wonderful clients.
The printing is absolutely crystal clear and gorgeous.
RedTree also offers 5×5 mini albums. They are perfect as parent’s albums– which is exactly what my parents and in-laws received for Christmas! I own this swatch ring of gorgeous Italian leathers, suede-like nabuk leathers, and gorgeous Japanese silks for all my lovely brides to choose the perfect cover for their heirloom album. I went with a champagne colored leather that matched my wedding decor and dress.
I went with the big mama, a 12×12, and you can see how stout she is. 10×10 albums are also available.
This one is blurry, but it gives you a hint as to the thickness of the pages. They feel VERY sturdy.
RedTree uses micro-fold technology, so that we can create big gorgeous spreads for you like this one that go across the middle, and you lose nothing of your photo in the gutter.
So, this is my plug not only for these gorgeous RedTree albums, but for a wedding album in general. In this digital age, many brides just want a disc of files and that’s it. But this tends to make me get on my little soapbox and remind people that an album is an instant family heirloom. You will not get something of this incredible quality on a DIY photobook site, and your wedding is a once in a lifetime event. It deserves to be honored and commemorated with something tangible. Why have all those gorgeous photos taken if they are going to simply sit on a hard drive somewhere?
I understand that wedding albums are expensive and don’t seem to always make it in the budget. But, this is one of the only lasting things you will have from your day– and what a better way to commemorate all of your cute DIY details, your perfect wedding dress, all the people who you love and travel to be with you, and your gorgeous flowers? Sometimes my brides choose to use wedding gift money to purchase an album for themselves after the big day, or sometimes it is a gift from parents. Either way, I just wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t urge you to have one of these priceless treasures for yourselves!
Big thanks to Josh at RedTree and my fab wedding photog, Scotty Perry!
