Albums

.

 

We offer 2 varieties of albums: Classic and Fine-Art. Each type of album comes in a variety of sizes, cover options, page thicknesses and number of sides.  Due to the wide variety of albums we offer we are able to work within any temperate budget to provide options for quality printed products that are sure to become family heirlooms.

Our albums are of a quality that you will never see at any wedding show as our suppliers are quite different from many of the other Toronto wedding photographers.  We choose to partner with two different album printhouses whereby each and every album is designed by us with your original ultra high-resolution files and then printed through our partners prior to each and every albums being s

We know that savvy brides and grooms understand the value of a quality product but sometimes feel limited by their budget.  It is because we care so much about delivering a quality product that we also offer “early bird” incentives for wedding albums.  Furthermore, brides and grooms wishing to purchase multiple copies of an album (ie: for parent gifts, etc.) will receive a 10% reprint discount on all regularly priced albums.titched and bound together by hand!  If you’d like to take a peek at the behind the scenes working of how your wedding album is made, follow this link to YouTube.

Pro albums are all about quality! Nothing preserves your wedding memories with an added ‘wow’ factor like a professionally designed and printed album. When you order your album from your photographer, you’re investing into an album that will be created by the same artist whose skills you trusted in to capture your wedding day memories.

We offer an incredibly wide variety of photo albums and we are confident that at least one of our albums can meet your needs! Our classic books are state-of-the-art books that are printed and bound with top notch inks and materials. Our fine-art books are just as breathtaking as our classic books are and offer the option of adding many enhancements such as licker, more luxurious pages, metal cameos and a variety of cover materials.

There are many benefits of purchasing a custom designed wedding album from your photographer – and although I see where my obvious bias may come into play, I encourage all my clients to put aside their preconseptions about wedding albums and approach the subject with fresh eyes and a clear mind.  Not only is your professional album designed by the very same artist who captured and created all your beautiful moments to begin with, your album is already created from the original, uncompressed raw files.  This means crisper, sharper and more vibrant images than can be produced off of a DVD of jpegs.  Professional album printers offer calibration files for us which means that the colours we create on our monitors are the exact same colours that print in the final product (colour calibration is impossible with a DVD of jpegs).  The quality of the paper, the ink and the bindings in a professional album cannot even be compared to a DIY album – all of our albums are printed and then hand bound and stitched.  Finally, if that isn’t enough to open your mind to the world of professional wedding albums, I invite you into my office to come and see for yourself as I have recently put two sample albums on permanent display: one album that was created by myself and printed by our Classic Album company, Asukabook, and another album that was created from the CD of jpeg images and printed at the most popular online DIY album creator.  Once you view these two albums side-by-side, you’ll truly understand the importance of investing in a professional album to preserve your wedding memories.

You may notice that we use the term “album” and “book” interchangeably. With Ten·2·Ten Photography, whether you call your product an album or a book, you’ll always get an amazing quality custom designed product. Although the traditional style albums with slip-in photos are alright for some, we pride ourselves on offering more modern and customizable products to our clients.

Our classic Asukabook albums break the mold for typical photographic image presentation. They are created with state-of-the-art printing technology, have bookstore quality bindings and are specially coated with a protective UV layer to ensure your colour and quality will last as long as your love for one another!

We offer several varieties of our classic album, each with their own unique attributes to meet your style needs.

The NeoClassic books are a brand new book that our Classic album company is offering. The NeoClassic book brings you fine-art style pages (thick and luxurious) with the high quality printing that our classic albums have been come to be known for. NeoClassic books can feature a cover in high-end materials including faux leather or a simple and clean hard cover with optional cushioning. The pages can be matte or glossy and, like all of our classic albums, are specialy coated with a UV protectant to ensure your colour stays vibrant and true. The NeoClassic books lay perfectly flat – this opens up a world of opportunities for your album design as you are not hindered by bindings. NeoClassic albums are the Ten·2·Ten Photography album of choice!

The Zen Lay-Flat books are a superior quality lay-flat style book. With seamless binding, you can fully display your images without gutter loss. The lay-flat cover is available in genuine leather, animal friendly leather or photowrap. The Zen-EX format also includes a book jacket with optional hot stamping for extra personalization.

The LX-Series of books are an upscale standing bound book. The LC is available in both genuine leather and animal friendly leather with an optional personalized hot stamp. The LX series of books are showcased in a stylish custom designed presentation box.

The EXD-Series of books are a superior quality book that includes a hardcover protected by a matching printed book jacket with designable inside flaps. The book is presented in a fully designable slide-in book case. Along with the lay-flat books, the EXD series are the most popular among brides and grooms.

The EX-Series has many of the same features as the EXD, including the designable hard cover and book jacket. The EX albums are displayed in an exclusive black or red case with an optional personalized hot stamp.

The Hardcover series of albums have a high-end feel that is reminiscent of the fine art coffee table books we’ve all come to know and love. The cover can be printed full bleed, front to back, and has a protective coating. The hardcover book is presented nicely in a frosted plastic case.

The Softcover series of albums offers a more casual alternative which is perfect for signature guest books (and they are always the highlight of the cocktail hour!) The cover is fully customizable and the book is presented in a sturdy and protective frosted plastic case.

Our Forbeyon fine-art albums are the most stunning coffee table style albums the industry has to offer. Not only are all fine-art albums designed and bound in a lay-flat manner but they are also made out of the finest quality ultra thick paper. The pages are specially coated to protect the album from the harsh effects of sunlight so you can safely display your albums in the open without sacrificing the quality of your investment.

The price structure of the fine-art albums varies slightly from other albums as these albums are far more customizable than any of our classic books. The basic album contains your luscious, thick album pages and the option of many different cover fabrics. If you wish to customize your album even further (a benefit of the Forbeyon albums), you can choose to upgrade your cover materials and your paper as well as add metal cameos, protective boxes and include personalized imprinting on the album spine.

The fine-art album is stunning even without the additional customizations. I strongly urge clients who are serious about preserving their memories to invest in a fine-art album.  As with our examples above, I’ve included sample pricing for three popular variations of our fine-art Forbeyon albums.  If you wish to see more than the samples below, you can download our complete Toronto wedding photographers price list, including album and print info, by clicking this link.

Although our packages contain album discounts that you can redeem until your 3-month anniversary, we also offer an amazing discount on pre-purchased albums!

When you secure your date with a deposit, we can discuss your album needs! By looking at some album samples and asking a few questions, we can easily determine what wedding album is right for you, your

style and your budget! Did I mention that the best part of pre-purchasing your album is that you’ll receive a 25% discount?!?

Choose any regularly priced album and place the deposit for it before your wedding day. Then, if you pay the album balance within 3-months of your wedding date, your album balance will reflect a 25% discount on your album! That’s a bigger discount than any of the silver, gold or platinum packages offer (and yes, the super-awesome discount is factored in to the Black Label package!)
