Square Wedding Albums

A Perfectly Sized Album in Many Colors

Lately our clients seem to be ordering the 10 x 10 album more than any of our other books. The size is great -- big enough to hold multiple 4x6's per page, yet small enough to fit comfortably on your lap. Below are some of the recent variations we've made:

Set of three albums, each in a different color: (rye, quinoa, birch)

custom wedding albums and parent albums

Variation bound with ribbon:

elegant wedding album archival wedding album ribbon

Variation bound in black leather:

Other color variations:

Fine Art Wedding Album

Elegant, Archival Wedding Album

When an out-of-state client asked us to help her create an elegant, archival album with printed pages, we knew just who to send her to for page printing. Pushdot Studio right here in Portland does the most gorgeous fine-art page printing we've seen, and this book was no exception. The client provided the page layout to Pushdot, they did their printing magic, and we transformed the pages into a custom ribbon-bound album with a personalized letterpress plaque and slipcase. It's one of our favorite pieces we've made this year, thanks to a great client and great collaboration.

50th Anniversary Album

Memorable 50th Anniversary Gift

Our friend Josh recently asked us to make a 50th wedding anniversary album for his parents. We then had the pleasure of meeting his folks when they visited our studio yesterday. They brought along their album, which had been filled with photos from their years together, including their recent family trip to Italy. We were thrilled to see an HSS album full of such wonderful memories. Thanks so much for visiting, Ed & Joni!

Photos were put into the album by a family member (who did a great job, we think.)

Ahh, notice how the album covers sit parallel when the book is full. We love full books!

Personalized Guest Book

Guest Books for Weddings, Memorials, Anniversaries, and More

When wedding season comes around, we find ourselves making more guest books. We think, though, that guest books are also a great way to preserve memories and personal notes from any event.

What to look for in a guest book:

  • Do you want your guest book to last? Opt for archival materials.
  • Choose a book with matte pages. Shiny pages are more likely to smear.
  • Personalization! A guest book with your name on it is extra special.
  • We like books that lie flat when opened (that's what we typically make.)
  • Match your event. An elegant event deserves an elegant, coordinating guest book.

We really like guest books with blank pages, as they leave room for notes and even drawings:

We also just added a guest book with lined pages to our website. This offers a little more structure, and can be great for larger events, or times when you want to collect guests' addresses:

If you'd like to add photos to your guest book, choose a book with enough room to add content so the pages don't fan out. (You're really better off going with a photo album for this.)

Or perhaps you're interested in a completely custom guest book. Whatever you choose, we think a great guest book is a wonderful memento.

Elegant Wedding Album

Wedding Album for Photo Prints

We sent this book off to A Girl in Love Photography yesterday. We love the classic look and feel of photo prints mounted onto crisp, clean pages. The soft ribbon binding coordinates wonderfully with the gorgeous photos inside. Thanks, Melissa and Kerri, we hope this happy couple loves their album.
