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) we only need one order form completed. If you want five books but each one has different images (or they’re different sizes / designs) we need an 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 a “Standard” 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. 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 the image numbers you provide are correct.
If you want more than the maximum number of images allowed in your book you can add on 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. 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).
You only need to choose a front cover image if you are selecting one of the “Standard Hardcover“, “Standard Image Cover“, “Deluxe Image Cover” or “Deluxe XL Acrylic & Linen Image Cover” designs. All other designs do not require this to be provided. For the “Standard Hardcover” and “Deluxe XL Acrylic & Linen Image Cover” designs you need to pick ONE landscape photo for your front cover. For the “Standard Image Cover” and “Deluxe Image Cover” designs you need to pick TWO landscape photos – one for your front cover and one for your back cover. 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.
If you are selecting one of the “Standard Linen Cover“or “Deluxe Linen Cover” designs they can be customised to have foil text added to the front cover. This foil text is silver in colour and slightly shimmery and is de-bossed into the cover of the photo book. Similar to gold leaf, but silver in colour, it adds a special touch to your front cover. This optional extra is £35 for either photo book style, and is only available on the “Linen” photo books. 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: “Name & Name, Our Wedding, Wedding Date”. This option is not available if you are selecting the ‘cream’ colour linen cover, due to printing limitations. It is available for black, light grey and dark grey linen.
