Custom Album or Storybook Album - The Trend...


And yesssss... of course, when we mention 'wedding photography'... what would come in mind is The Custom Album or Storybook Album! (And to my surprise, many of those claimed 'professional' or 'semi-pro' wedding photographers still confuse with the right word for 'custom'... mmm... too bad). When I was first involved in capturing Big Moments on wedding days... (as an assistant), the custom album was a 12" x 8" 20 pages with the 8RW prints on each page album with black leather hard cover and there's a window frame on the cover. Now, the album has been known as classic custom album since a new glamorous Storybook Album has taken over its popularity...

Normally these types of album cost up to RM1,000 or more (plus the professional service). However, there are still some photographers out there who are still offering these albums for less than RM1K. Hmm... used to hear a few 'otai's get really furious about this. But what to do... :)

As for me, when you are talented and creative, plus there's a trademark in your design, which means "ITS YOUR DESIGNS"... and clients love your designs... they won't mind paying you how much you would ask from them (as long as it is still within a reasonable price). I sometimes also heard some clients made statements like "The price is too cheap, may be his designs are not to the expectations... and I think your designs are better in a way... (with a smile)"...

Well, folks! Go for Custom Album or Storybook Album... its worth all the money you allocated for it! (provide that you really like your photographer's designs).
