Finished and embossed in black leatherette and offered in an exclusive matching presentation box, there is a small aperture in the front of the album for your favourite image and you can choose lustre or gloss finish for your prints. Artemis is designed for the smaller wedding, is popular and offers great value.
BELLISSIMO ALBUMS
Also a product from Loxley Colour of Glasgow, Bellissimo Albums are sought after by the discerning Bride. A hand-designed page layout by the photographer allows creative expression of his intent for the images. Printed using a traditional silver process, images are printed directly onto the page allowing complete flexibility in design and layout. Spreads are possible - where the picture extends across the spine of the book - without loss of image definition. Custom-built page by page, the book-bound Bellissimo can be produced in leatherette, or with an acrylic cover - with your favourite image - or with a metal cover. Sizes range from 6” x 6” square up to 16” x 12” books - opening to a size of 16” x 24” pages! Minimum pages are 10 and maximum 40, offering 80 sides.
Typically, a 40 page Bellissimo can handle 100 - 120 images of varying sizes in wonderful layouts. Mini-albums are also available, measuring 4.25“ x 4.25”, these are fantastic gifts for the Bridal Party and are replicas of the main Br idal Album.
Traditional IMAGE PRINTS
Traditional image prints are available for viewing and order via Streetlife’s On-Line Purchase System - click the Purchase page on this site. Some prints are inclusive in the Platinum Package. The recommended minimum size to order is A5 (5.5” x 8”) and prints can go all the way up to A2 size (22" x 16"). Larger sizes can be printed through a special order.
DVD SLIDE-SHOW WITH MUSIC
Producing a basic slide -show of images is fairly straight-forward, but producing a professional DVD for use on domestic DVD players, with music synchronised to the change of pictures, incorporating DVD-Video and elegant fade & zoom effects is a specialised task. Brian uses a company whose speciality is photography slide-shows, to produce these DVD’s which are available at extra cost on all packages - except Platinum where it’s inclusive.
If ordered in advance of the wedding the DVD can be produced in a relatively short period and can incorporate DVD-Video shot by guests if they upload it to the web-site. Please ask Brian for more information if you would like a DVD either with, or as an alternative to, a printed Album.
