Hi eveyone
I recently photographed a friends wedding. Its the first wedding I've ever done and i'd like to give them a nice album of their photos.
I cant seem to find anywhere that offers custom made albums (i.e number of pages etc) or even nice non custom made albums.
Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere in the UK that offers decent quality elegant albums, I have a budget of about £50, Im just really struggling to find anything thats not covered in awful patterns or has naff decorations all over it.
Any help would be gratly appreciated.
Cheers
Chris

£50 doesn't really buy much tbh, certainly nothing of a professional level anyway, for that sort of money your looking at Photobooks from the likes of Photobox (http://www.photobox.co.uk/) or if you use a Mac the one you can make with iPhoto is nice and also cheap.

If you want a step up from Photobox then Everleaf (http://www.everleafpro.co.uk/) supply the Asuka book in the UK and also do some self build overlay albums.

Blurb (http://www.blurb.com/) is another book type supplier in the USA that also ships to the UK and is meant to be decent.

If you are after a more traditional album with matts/overlays then someone like GF Smith (http://www.gfsmithphotomount.co.uk/) do those but not sure you would get much for £50

Other end of the market is Queensberry (http://www.queensberry.com/) who do superb albums but have prices to match.

Thanks for your help! I knew £50 wasnt going to get me much, I just wanted to give them something that was plain and simple, everything I find is covered in shocking embellisments or has horrible oval metal frames on the cover. I did think about a photobook but its not really their bag, they are a bit traditional in their taste (nothing worng with that!) and would prefer an album.
Thanks again for your advice, much appreciated,
cheers
Chris
