I have a wedding coming up in April in which I booked last year using my old rates which was significantly lower than my current rates. Part of the package that the bride booked included a leather bound album with lay flat pages. Currently I am still deciding between RedTree and Kiss Albums for all weddings at my current price point, but seeing as those albums cost $$$, what are some alternative companies that I should consider for this wedding?
At this point of me building up my reputation, quality is more important to me than the money, but if I can save some money and keep my bride happy, I am all ears.

Why not just use the company you were using last year when you had those prices?

Bite the bullet and offer your client a quality product.

Use your old supplier or offer an upgrade.

Thanks for the comments.
To be honest, The books I used last year were printed at Costco. Since last year my clientele base, style, products,etc has changed dramatically.
Ask I stated before, I might end up biting the bullet but was hoping to find a good alternative.

Show the customers what they paid for, and what you can do now. Let them make the choice to go with what they selected previously, or give them a good deal on the upgrade to the better album.
