Photo Book Help
Below are some more details about the ordering process for our photo books. For more general information about our photo books, please visit our photo book page. The information below is intended to help customers who are in the process of ordering their photo book and require additional details / help.
Book Sizes
We offer two sized photo books, a regular size (12″ x 8″) and an XL size (16″ x 12″). All of our photo books (apart from the ‘Deluxe XL Acrylic’) are 12″ x 8″, approximately. The ‘Deluxe XL Acrylic’ is our only XL photo book and is 16″ x 12″. All photo books are only available in the size offered. Converted, 12″ x 8″ is approximately 30cm x 20cm and 16″ x 12″ is approximately 40cm x 30cm.

Our deluxe photo books are all ‘lay flat’ photo book albums. This means the pages of the photo book, when opened, lay flat so that photos can be used all the way across the spread of the page, without losing any of the image to the page fold. It also means lay flat photo books open fully, similar to high-end coffee table books, for an artistic and high-end presentation. The deluxe photo books also all come in a keepsake box and are wrapped in paper for further protection. The ‘Standard Hard Cover’ photo book does not have the ‘lay flat’ feature and is not provided in a keepsake box or with any paper wrapping.

Number of Copies Required
You can order as many books as you would like. We need one order form per book design. If you want three copies of the exact same book (same size, same design, same images – exact copies), we only need one order form completed. If you want five books, for example, but each one has different images (or they’re different sizes / designs), we need one order form per book.
Photo Numbers
We need to know what images you want included in your photo book and we’ll take care of the rest. If you are ordering the ‘Standard Hard Cover ‘ photo book, you’ll need to pick up to 50 images for your book. If you are ordering a ‘Deluxe’ photo book, you’ll need to pick up to 60 images for your book for the best layout. If you’ve got a handful more than the maximum, that’s not a problem, but the more images you have in your book the more compact the layout will be, as there are a set number of pages to fit the images on to. You need to look at your images as they were originally provided to you, they will each have your surname followed by a number (for example ‘Smith – 001.jpg’, ‘Smith – 002.jpg’ and so on). We need the numbers at the end of the photo, for example 001, 004, 028 and so on. Please double-check that the image numbers you provide are correct.
If you want more than the maximum number of images allowed in your book, you can add additional pages to your photo book. The price of this varies based upon which photo book design you have (see the photo book details above for pricing). By adding more pages it will enable you to have more photos in your photo book, up to the maximum detailed.
Full Page Images
A full page image is an image that takes up a full/whole page in your photo book by itself. We recommend picking your absolute favourite images as your full page images. We recommend 3 or 4 full page images per photo book. We recommend selecting landscape photos for your full page images, as they properly fill the page. It is possible to use portrait images, but please be aware they do not fill the page as well, so there will be ‘white space’ around them. If you don’t mind what photos are full page images, you can just let us pick (please notify us of this on your photo book order form).
Front Cover Image
You only need to choose a front cover image if you are selecting one of the ‘Standard Hardcover’, ‘Deluxe Image Cover’ or ‘Deluxe XL Acrylic’ designs. All other designs do not require this to be provided. Customers often pick a photo of the couple by themselves for the front cover, and then perhaps a group photo or a detail photo (wedding rings, bouquet, cake etc) for the back cover – but it’s entirely your choice, this is just a suggestion.
For the ‘Standard Hardcover’ and ‘Deluxe XL Acrylic’ designs, you need to pick one landscape photo for your front cover. For the ‘Deluxe Image Cover’ design, you need to pick two landscape photos – one for your front cover and one for your back cover. Cover images must be landscape, so they can fit the cover of the book correctly.
Foil Text
If you are selecting the ‘Deluxe Linen Cover’ design, this can be customised to have foil text added to the front cover, for an additional cost. This foil text is silver and slightly shimmery and is de-bossed into the cover of the photo book. Similar to gold leaf, but silver, it adds a special touch to your front cover. This optional extra is £35 and is only available for the ‘Deluxe Linen Cover’ photo book. By adding on this optional extra, you can put up to three rows of text on the front of your photo book. Most couples opt for a format similar to ‘Alex & Sam, Our Wedding, 3rd September 2025’. Foil text is not available if you are selecting the ‘cream’ colour linen cover, due to printing limitations. It is available for linen covers that are black, light grey and dark grey.
