BESPOKE wedding albums
Your investment into your wedding photos shows how much you care about preserving those epic memories.
You album will be a time capsule of love, capturing the essence of your wedding day, ready to transport you back in time whenever you desire, and ready for you to share with future generations.
Printing your photos on heirloom-quality paper and wrapping them in the finest linen or leather will ensure your photos are safeguarded against changing technologies. Plus there's nothing nicer than a real book to touch and see up close.
The process is so easy and we'll work together to create an album design that you're absolutely in love with. You'll select your cover style, which I'll guide you through, and you'll choose your 10 must-have photos.
I'll take care of the design process. You'll get plenty of time to request as many changes as you'd like. I'll guide you through the whole process and we won't send it off to print until you're 100% happy with the chosen layout.
To be savoured with your lover, family and friends for years to come, let's make sure your bespoke wedding album is perfectly you.
Printing your memories for safekeeping
Take a peek
Bella and Ben's album is a 10x10" square in driftwood linen with gold embossing.
They also ordered a designer box in the same linen to store their album in, which is an optional extra. The box is also embossed, and can be any fabric - it doesn't have to match your album.
If you've chosen a specific set of fonts or a wedding logo that you've used on invites and signage, I can use the same on your album. Often your invite designer is happy to share their files with me.
You can see an example of a leather album further down this page.

Personalise your album by imprinting your names, wedding date, a special quote or anything that's meaningful for you both!
I work closely with your stationery designer to use the same font that was on your invites and signage.
Otherwise, we can create a custom design just for you.
Debossing can be "blind" with just a clear gloss as you can see in this photo of Keely and Henry's album. There are also a range of foils available, and you can see these below.

FAQ
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.
The albums come standard with 20 pages (10 leafs), accommodating a total of 60-80 images. The maximum number of pages is 45 and each extra spread is $60. If you would like to add more pages to your album, just let me know.
Yes, you certainly can! It's never too late.
The paper is high grade, True Photographic Lustre paper.
The luxurious pages are 2.0 mm thick, ensuring the sturdiness of the pages so that they forever remain flat and do not warp. The album uses the best paper grade for printing and will ensure your wedding album stands the test of time.
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!
It's hard not to love them all! But not to worry, I've got you! To make it easier for you, I get you to choose your top 10 images and I build the first draft around them. From there you can add, delete or swap images until you're 100% happy!
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.
The wedding albums come standard with 20 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 20-page wedding album can accommodate around 60-80 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, and other variables.
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 several draft rounds to make sure everything is perfect before we send it off to print.
Most couples feel happy with their design after 2-3 rounds of amendments.
It's okay, I know it can be tricky to decide when there's so many gorgeous options! Let's catch up in person and we can go over the swatches together. 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!
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! We'll keeping making changes until you're 100% happy.
I will keep your design for 12 months and during that time you're welcome to order more albums. These are at full price.
If you're considering getting a duplicate large album, you can enjoy 15% off if you order it at the same time as your first album.
Absolutely! These beautiful albums are perfect for any shoot! If we have done a family shoot or any other shoot together, we can certainly create a bespoke album to house your memories. Albums also make great gifts - family albums are perfect for a Mother's/Father's Day gift.
Yes, parent albums are priced at a discounted rate as they are essentially smaller replicas - same orientation and photo selection - of your wedding album. This means you will not need to pay for the proofing process. Due to this, parent albums can only be ordered in conjunction with your wedding 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 approximately 6 weeks from the time we send the design to print.
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 fingers away from your album pages!
A1. Wherever you are in Aotearoa or across the world, your album will be shipped to you at no extra cost. The price of my wedding albums are all-inclusive.
A2. Shipping within Aotearoa is complimentary. However, if you 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.
Prior to finalising your album design and sending it off to be printed, you'll have multiple 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 at no additional cost.
"We loved working with Nicole right from the get go. We appreciated her attention to details from our very first meet and felt our needs were well looked after ...
When it came to our wedding day, we already had a solid plan of Nicole’s involvement and she slipped into our day seamlessly and professionally.
The absolute highlight of course though, is the photos she has sent us! They are of such high quality, a perfect balance between candid and proper. I love as much the lighting and colour of the photos, as the variety of moments she captured.
I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone. She is worth every dollar!"

"Nicole was an absolute gem! We were instantly impressed with her professionalism and ability to visualise what we wanted, when we were unsure ourselves. In the wedding lead up and on the day Nicole brought sense of calmness and order ...
Then when the photos arrived we had a whole new appreciation for her work. The photos were simply amazing, she had captured so much and in the most perfect way. Her ongoing comms with us while we sorted albums etc was always spot on.
Anyone would be fortunate to have Nicole capture and be a part of their event."

"We cannot recommend Nicole highly enough as wedding photographer.
She was an absolute Godsend to helping us through one of the most important/special/busy(and slightly stressful) days of our lives. From our first meeting over coffee, through to the sorting out the finer details in the day, she was amazing work with.
Book with Nicole, you won't regret it."
