You will love them. They actually have a great YouTube video that shows how you can basically spill anything or even write on their album pages with Sharpie and get it off without damaging the album pages. So if little kids are a concern, this would be of interest to you. Very impressive!

I have received nothing but top quality albums from GraphiStudios. My first experience with them in 2008 was a free package shipped to me, but with their images. I received a brief case with a 16x20 album with several types of paper and layout styles along with a pricing spreadsheet at no cost to me. They were running a promo at the time that I intended to take advantage of, but after placing my order and paying for it, I had to cancel the order and there immediately refunded my money and canceled the order with no hassle. They have been very friendly and helpful to this day, so I highly recommend taking advantage of any promos they are offering.

Do you have a link to that video on You tube ? I have not seen that. Would be great to send a link showing why we suggest Picto albums. If you have a link please send it to me.

Thanks a ton

I finally got access so promo is for a main album, a parent album, 4 pcs of 5x4 and a calendar...seems interesting. I thought it was six different album designs, its actually almost all the same except size. Either way, not complaining for free since I have something prepared for it already.

I just received my samples from Graphi. I learned about it from watching a live tutorial and they just mentioned it on there. I had done about 10 weddings as a second shooter and the last one I did I had enough good shots for an album. I downloaded their software, played around with it and eventually designed it. I called my rep and she lead me through each step on how to download. She was extremely patient. She suggested I order the 16 x 12 album, as I was going to order something smaller. She also recommended the metal prints and distressed leather cover with a die cut opening for a picture. All these options make an album cost more! I received the album, 4 small pocketbooks, a parent album and calendar. I am very pleased. I will be taking shots this weekend for my website. So far, so great!

Great to hear about that. So with the upgrades, you have to pay some amount after all. So how much did it end up with all all the upgrades you did?

OK wait, I need some clarifications... the free sample pack they give- do you use your own image or do you get one with their images? Because I thought it was their images which is why I never bothered ordering it but it sounds like you guys are getting your images in these. If that's the case I'd definitely go for it!

This promo was to use and upload your own images. I heard that you have the option to use there images, but same as what you said, I wont do that myself.

I was given 60 days to finish the project so it gives you enough time. Some people like bits and pieces of different weddings, I would prefer to tell a story of a single wedding.

Do you have the promo number I can use or is that only who signed up at the show?

I used my own images for the sample album. My client response to the album has been very good . I plan on creating another one with a single wedding and a different type paper.
